12.3 Upgrade of MMC 102/103 software version 4.x or earlier
This Section describes how to upgrade the software
S on an MMC 102/103 with Windows 3.11 to SW 2.4 or 3.x or
S on an MMC 103 with Windows 95 to SW 4.x.
A software upgrade on an MMC 103 with <SW 4.x to Windows 95 must be per-
formed by a service engineer (see READ ME for upgrade instructions).
An MMC 102 cannot be upgraded to SW 4.
Two areas are set up in the control:
S MMC 102/103
standard mode which powers up without operator input.
S Windows
The Windows area (with activation of earlier versions of INI files) is intended
for the service engineer who can also use the full Windows functionality to
start up the control.
In both areas, you can
S Install add-on software (e.g. additional languages)
S change INI files/hardware configuration (e.g. install drivers)
S upgrade with a network card and/or a mouse
Each of these must be installed in the MMC2 and/or Windows area if you wish
to have the functionality in one or both areas.
As from SW Version 3.1 there are different menus that you can activate on sys-
tem start-up for installing software and backing up on streamer.
While the MMC 101/102/103 is powering up and the message Starting MS
DOS (SW 3.x and earlier) or Starting Windows 95 is displayed, press key 6.
