Comdial Dxp Plus Instructions Manual

							Understanding the VMMITranslating the DXP Database
GCA40-182You can use the VMMI to translate the database residing in a DXP to a format that is compatible 
with the
10A software release. Before you can translate the database, you must convert it to a 9A software release
level as described in the paragraph titled Converting the 
DXP Database.
1.Select the VMMI program from the Windows menu screen.
2.From the VMMZ window, select the File pull-down menu.
3.From the File pull-down menu, select Open. System default conditions cause the VMMI program to search for all
+R.DXP files in the VMMI directory; however, you may need to type the path location and DOS file name of the
DXP database that you wish to translate.
4.From the Open Data Base File window, select the database for translation, and OK your choice.
5.Select a file location for the translated database and OK your selection.
46.Select the destination program for the system to use. The Select Board Type window opens.
7.Use the Select Board Type window to describe the board configuration of the DXP database that you are
translating.
(a) Make a record of the DXP’s physical board configuration by entering product codes in the following table.

for all installed station boards beginning with the DXP’s left-most universal slot in the main cabinet. The
prompts then ask for all installed line boards beginning with the DXP’s left-most slot in the main cabinet.
When a slot in the original DXP contains an auxiliary board, select the No Board response.
When the prompt asks for a station board but a line board occupies that slot in the original DXP, select the No
Board response.
When the prompt asks for a line board but a station board occupies that slot in the original DXP, select the No
Board response.
When you finish listing the board configuration, OK your selections.
(c) The VMMI program presents a screen graphic that depicts the boards installed in a default arrangement in the
main and expansion cabinets of a DXP Plus system. The default arrangement places station boards in
ascending slot order beginning with slot 1 in the main cabinet; it places line boards in descending slot order
beginning with slot 30 in the lower expansion cabinet. The VMMI program leaves a blank slot for any place
that you answered a station or line board prompt with a no board response

							GCA40-182Understanding the VMMI(d) Since your system may not include one or both expansion cabinets or you do not care for the software
arranged board layout, use your mouse to move the board images to the slots that you would rather that they
occupy. Make a record of these board locations so that you or your installer can physically 
instan the boards
to match your plan.
