System Programming and
Maintenance
The System Programming and Maintenance (SPM) software package offers
an alternate method of programming the MERLIN LEGEND Communication
System using a PC. This method frees the system programming console for
other uses and also provides the additional functions listed below:
Backing up system programming information
Restoring system programming information from a backup
Converting system programming information from one release to
another (part of the upgrade procedure)
Upgrading your communications system to a newer release
Printing, viewing, and storing reports
Programming the communications system remotely
Programming in surrogate mode
SPM runs on a DOS-based PC as a stand alone program or on a UNIX®
System platform as part of Integrated Solution II or Integrated Solution Ill (IS
II/III). It is available on a 3.5-inch diskette for DOS or UNIX, or on a 5.25 inch
diskette for DOS.
NOTE:
SPM software can be used directly from the floppy disks on a DOS machine;
however, if your PC has a hard disk, you should install SPM onto the hard
disk.
