Hardware requirements
Introduction
The following table describes the hardware changes that are
required when converting a system to Release 13.
System conversion
All Enhanced MMP40 cards are shipped from the factory with a
default baud setting of 2400 bps. If you use a 9600 bps for your
system, you must configure a modem for 9600 bps use. After
the Enhanced MMP40 cards are installed, with high-speed
modems if required, complete a system conversion to the
Meridian Mail Release 13.0 software.
Use the Install tape to convert the existing Modular Option EC
system to Release 13. If the existing system is operating with
pre-MM10 software, then both the terminal and the remote
support modem must be set to 2400 bps.
The system conversion must be performed as described in
the System Installation and Modification Guide
(NTP 555-7001-215). When the System Modification and
Installation menu is displayed, select Comprehensive Upgrade
to complete the software conversion to Release 13.
