Chapter 8: Service Support Utility 8-13
Compatibility Support
The 5976 Compatibility Support is a software feature that provides convenience to the
existing 5975 users who want to replace their line displays to 5976.
This feature enables the 5976 to be backward–compatible with the previous 5975
functions and installed software especially the Retail Platform Software (RPS). All the
software that exists on the old 5975 can be used with the new 5976. Thus this feature
provides drop–in replacement for the 5975.
