Using

VMMI

Software To Translate A DXP Database

You can use the VMMI software to translate the database residing in a DXP to a format that is

compatible with the DXP

Plus,

and load that database into the DXP

Plus

system. While translating data,

your PC need not be connected to the DXP

Plus.

Before you translate a DXP database, determine the revision level of the DXP system software. If the

DXP system software revision is 8.A or later, you can translate the database without first taking any

other action. However, if the DXP software revision is e

t use an 8.A or later

revision of the PCMMI program to upgrade that da

it. If you do not have

this version of the PCMMI program, you can

down ial bulletin board service.

When a DXP contains system software that is at a revision level earlier than

8.A,

you must upgrade that

DXP’s

database before you can translate it into a DXP Plus database. To do this, employ an XMODEM

data communications program to store the database on a magnetic diskette or on your computer’s hard

drive. Then employ a revision 8.A or later PCMMI program (obtainable from Comdial’s bulletin board

service) to restore the database and save it to a new file. Restoring the database with this revision 8.A or

later PCMMI program upgrades the database so that it will translate into a DXP

Plus

database.

Remember, the saved database includes the following data: system information, station parameters, line

parameters, toll restriction and automatic route selection parameters, and system speed dial numbers but

does not include the

SMDA/SMDR

records. If you need these

SMDA/SMDR

records, you must make a

printout of them before you perform the database storage. This is necessary because this procedure does

not record the stored records and they will be lost.
