Compatibility and software conversion methods Compatibility Compatibility problems can occur when certain TDS, FTDS and XCT circuit cards are used in the system. The following mix of circuit cards cannot be used in the system. QPC197 TDS and QPC609 FTDS A QPC197 Tone and Digit Switch (TDS) cannot be used with a QPC609 Fast Tone and Digit Switch (FTDS).
1-2 Compatibility and software conversion methods Conference tone on the NT8D17 XCT The NT8D17 XCT circuit card produces a conference tone when the DIP option switch 4 is set to OFF. Refer to Option settings in 553-3001-211 for more information about option switch settings. For a complete list of minimum vintages refer to Meridian 1 Product Compatibility Information MSL-1-B-223 dated April 1991.
