Upgrading MERLIN Messaging System Port Licensing

 

The information in this section is intended for qualified technicians only. To prevent damage to the MERLIN Messaging System, you must power down the communications system before installing or removing the MERLIN Messaging System module. Do NOT perform a "hot swap."

This section describes procedures for upgrading the MERLIN Messaging System Release 2 port licensing to any of the supported configurations; that is a 2-port, 4-port, 6-port, 8-port, 10-port, or 12-port configuration.

Port licensing can be upgraded without powering off the communications system. The communications system remains powered on. The old PC Card is removed and new PC Card is installed quickly. The MERLIN Messaging System restarts in the new configuration.
