Programming with SPM 2
The System Programming and Maintenance (SPM) software package offers an
alternate method of programming the MERLIN LEGEND Communications System
using a PC. This method frees the system programming console for other uses
and also provides the additional functions listed below:
â– Backing up system programming information
â– Restoring system programming information from a backup
â– Converting system programming information from one release to another
(part of the upgrade procedure)
â– Printing, viewing, and storing reports
â– Programming the communications system remotely
â– Programming in surrogate mode
SPM software is available in DOS (which can run as a DOS application or can be
installed to run with Windows 95) or UNIX (as part of Intuity Integrated Solution II*,
or Integrated Solution III*). A Windows version of SPM (MERLIN LEGEND
Communications System Win SPM) is also available.
NOTE:NOTE:NOTE:
DOS SPM and Win SPM software can be used directly from the floppy disk
or CD-ROM on your PC. However, if your PC has a hard disk, you should
install SPM onto the hard disk.
