Upgrading to Release 7.0

MERLIN II Communications System programming cannot be upgraded to this
communications system. Any upgrades from MERLIN II must be considered a
new installation to MERLIN LEGEND.
Upgrading to Release 7.0
This section contains an overview of upgrading from Releases 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, 2.1,
3.0, 3.1, 4.0, 4.1, 4.2, 5.0, 6.0, and 6.1 to Release 7.0. Before you begin the
upgrade to Release 7.0, you need the following items:
Any version of DOS SPM or WinSPM to back up system programming
WinSPM Release 2 or later, which contains SPM Version 7.15 or later to
convert and restore system programming information
If SPM is already installed, the Welcome to SPM screen that appears when
you start SPM identifies the version on both the last line of the console
simulation window and in the upper left corner of the screen. If you have
Version 7.15, V7 appears in the upper left corner of the screen and
Version 7.15 appears on the last line of the console simulation window.
A CKE4 or later processor module if one is not already installed in the
system
An R7.0 Forced Installation PCMCIA Memory Card
NOTES:
NOTE:
The version of SPM packaged with Intuity does not support
conversion. The most current version of DOS or UNIX SPM is
available for download from the NSAC bulletin board.
If a new processor module is installed as part of the upgrade procedure,
the system software is already installed. Use the R7.0 Forced
Installation Memory Card only if you are upgrading a system and the
processor module has not been replaced.
If you are upgrading Releases 1.0/1.1 or 2.0/2.1 to Release 7.0, you
need a new CKE4 processor module. Also, you must install a
Release 7.0 CKE4 processor module for any earlier system release (1.0
to 6.1) that has a CKE3 or earlier processor module. The processor
name appears on the label on the front of the module. If "CKE4" does
not appear on the label, you must replace the module.
If you are using an 016 MLX module, you need a CKE4 or later
processor module. The processor name appears on the label on the
front of the module. If "CKE4" does not appear on the label, you must
replace the module.
