UPGRADE INFORMATION

from Phase 2.5 to Phase 3.0

When upgrading from a Phase 2.5 to a Phase 3.0

FEATUREPAK_ cartridge, a cold start is not

required. The configuration remains intact. With

the async channel parity conversion feature, you

must insure that you have each async channel

configured correctly for the attached device.

Previously, it was transparent to these settings. If not

set correctly, you could get garbled characters or no

data flow.

from Phase 2.0 to Phase 3.0

When upgrading from a Phase 2.0 to a Phase 3.0

FEATUREPAK, a cold start is not required. All

previously configured parameters are maintained

except for the async channel parameter FIXED

DESTINATION, which will require reconfiguration.

With the async channel parity conversion feature,

you must insure that you have each async channel

configured correctly for the attached device.

Previously, it was transparent to these settings. If not

set correctly, you could get garbled characters or no

data flow.

from Phase 1.0 to Phase 3.0

If you are upgrading from a Phase 1.0 to a Phase 3.0

FEATURE- PAK, you must completely reconfigure

your Marathon unit.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION

Parity Conversion

All async ports must be configured to match the

host or terminal to which they are connected. In

Phase 3.0, the software performs parity conversion;

the default is 8 bits, no parity.

Voice/Fax

If you are upgrading existing voice/fax modules for

switching, boththe voice PROMs and PALs must be

installed, and the Mara- thon software must be

Phase 3.0. The voice channels must be

reconfigured. Dynamic rate adaption should only

be configured when Marathon units are directly

connected. If there are more than two Mara- thon

units with voice switching in the network, Dynamic

(Band- width Menu) should not be configured.

NETMan_

If you are connecting NETMan to a Marathon

network using a modem, it is recommended that an

async port be used rather than the NMS module’s

dedicated Command Port. Also note the following

settings: Data Rate = 1200 to 19200 bps (Do not set

ABR) Parity = None Connect Protocol = Auto EIA

Control = Enable For additional information on the

modem parameters, refer to the NETMan Release

Notes.

TDM Sync Channels

Tail circuits are supported at rates up to 38.4 Kbps

when one side is set for internal clocking and the

other is set for external clock- ing. Do not configure

a higher data rate.
