Memory Card
A PCMCIA (Personal Computer Memory Card International Association) interface slot is present on the processor module. The slot is a standard interface through which information can be added to or obtained from the system using a memory card. The PCMCIA interface slot accepts one memory card at a time.
This section covers the following memory card functions:
■ Memory Card Formatting
■ Restore
Summary information is included for the following procedures:
■ Backup
■ Automatic Backup
See Chapter 3, “Common Administrative Procedures,” for detailed information on
Backup and Automatic Backup.
Card Types
The types of memory cards are described below. The card type is identified by a preprinted, color-coded label.
■ Upgrade Card.
This card is used for MERLIN LEGEND Communication
System software upgrades. The upgrade can be performed by the system manager using the memory card and the Maintenance option on the SPM Main Menu. See Maintenance and Troubleshooting for information about this feature.
This card is identified by an orange label with black lettering.
■ Translation Card.
The backup and restore procedures previously available to system managers through SPM (using the PC and floppy disks) can now be performed using the memory card and the new
Backup/Restore option on the System menu. A new automatic backup feature permits you to set the system to perform automatic backups to the
memory card on a daily or weekly basis. See “Backup” and “Restore” for
more information.
This card is identified by a white label with black lettering.

■ Forced Installation.
For use by qualified service technicians only, this card is used when the system software has been corrupted and a reinstallation must be done at the customer site. The use of the card for forced installation is reserved for emergency situations in which the system software on the processor module has been damaged.
This card is identified by an orange label with black lettering. In addition, black stripes are present on the card to distinguish it from an upgrade card.
Figure 4–4 shows a sample Translation card.

Memory Card Formatting
The memory card may have to be formatted before you begin any manual or automatic backup procedures. This section details the screens and messages that appear during the format procedure.
!
CAUTION:
Formatting overwrites previous data on the memory card. Make certain that there is no important information on the card before you begin formatting.

Memory Card Backup:
Inserted Memory Card is not the correct type.
Do you want it formatted?
Yes
No
Exit
If you begin a backup procedure with an unformatted or incorrectly formatted card, this screen appears.
The inserted memory card is not the correct type. You have the option of formatting the memory card as a translation memory card or repeating the backup procedure with a different memory card.
NOTES:
1. Only 4 MB Series I or Series II PCMCIA memory cards may be formatted, except those already formatted as translation cards.
2. If a memory card cannot be formatted, a message appears on screen.
These messages are noted in the procedures as appropriate.
3. A memory card may need to be formatted if it is intended for use as a translation card but is currently blank or contains data other than MERLIN
LEGEND Communication System backup files.

The format was unsuccessful. Remove the card and repeat the procedure with another card.
Verify that the card is inserted correctly and repeat the procedure.
If Home or Menu are pressed during a format procedure, the format is
terminated. The data on the memory card may be lost. See Chapter 1,
“Programming Basics”, for detail about these keys.
Backup
Use this procedure to make a copy of your customized system data. You should create a backup at least three times during system installation (so that programmed information is not lost), and once after each system upgrade, service technician visit, or major system reconfiguration.

Restore
Use this procedure to restore system conditions that were backed up onto a translation memory card. The information in a backup file on the translation card is copied to the system.
The restore procedure is necessary under the following conditions:
■ System RAM is corrupt.
■ A previously stored set of system conditions is preferred over the current set.
■ The processor module is replaced.
■ After a System Erase (frigid start) has been performed.
■ The system software has been reinstalled.
The Inspect feature ( Inspct or d
) is available to view the attributes of the backup files on the memory card prior to initiating the restore procedure. The attributes included on the Inspect screen are the filename, the time and day of the file creation/update, the location of the system programming port, and information about the system software release from which the backup was made.
If any type of programming is taking place at another extension when you begin the restore procedure, the restore is canceled and the number of the first busy extension appears on the screen. Repeat the restore procedure when the busy extension becomes idle.
4–336 Programming Procedures

If a line is busy (incoming call or active call) when you begin the restore procedure, the restore is canceled and the number of the first active line appears on the screen. Repeat the restore procedure when the line becomes idle.

the restore procedure.

Restore Messages
During the restore procedure, additional screens may appear to alert you to problems with the translation memory card, the backup file or the restore procedure. This section contains displays of each screen and information about what to do if the screen appears.
Card Missing or Card Not Inserted Correctly
Memory Card Restore:
Verify that Memory Card has been inserted correctly.
Exit
The memory card is either not inserted or inserted incorrectly. The restore is aborted. You must reinsert the card and repeat the restore procedure. This screen may also appear if the wrong type of memory card is inserted and a restore is requested within one minute of insertion. Verify that the card is a translation memory card.
Programming Procedures 4–339
Memory Card
Card Removed after Confirmation
Memory Card Restore:
RESTORE IS CANCELED.
System is DOWN.
The memory card was removed from the PCMCIA interface slot while the restore was in progress. The restore is aborted and the system performs a System
Erase (frigid start). You must reinsert the memory card and repeat the restore procedure.
Wrong System Programming Port
Restore nn:
Change Sys Programming
Port to Extension xxxx before Restoring.
n = filename selected xxxx = system programming port extension
Exit
The system programming port is not set to the same system programming port as that set in the backup file. The restore is aborted. Use the Inspect feature to view the port of the file on the card. Change the system programming port to
match the port shown on the card (see “System Programming Position
Assignment”) and repeat the restore procedure.

Board mismatch between control unit and file.
Exit n = filename selected
A mismatch exists between the hardware components present on the current system and the hardware components reflected in the backup file. The restore is aborted. You can do one of the following:
■ Repeat the restore procedure with another file.
■ Modify the system hardware to match the configuration of the backup file and repeat the restore procedure with the same file.
