System Programming and Maintenance (SPM) for the MERLIN
LEGEND Communications System is an MS-DOS-based
software application that allows the use of a personal computer
(PC) for programming and maintaining the system. SPM
performs the same functions as an MLX-20L telephone used as a
system programming console and has some additional features,
such as the ability to back up and restore files and print reports.
The PC's display shows the same button and screen layout as an
MLX-20L telephone.
Either a PC with SPM can be connected directly to the system or
SPM can be accessed remotely in one of the following ways:
Using Remote Access, the system programmer dials the
system directly. A password can be set up to prevent
unauthorized access.
The system programmer dials the system operator and asks
to be transferred to the system's built-in modem.
Considerations
SPM operates with MS-DOS, version 3.3 or later.
Unless the system is being backed up or restored, a remote
user takes priority over a local user. If the local user is
programming when a remote user connects to the system,
the system sends a message to the local user that a remote
connection has been made and disconnects the local user.
