Note: Any configuration database from an MPU with Version 3.1 or later software can be downloaded to an MPU with Version 5 software. When downloading to an MPU that is not running Version 5 software, the MPU software version of the source MPU must match the software version of the destination MPU.

1.The following tools and equipment are required to perform this procedure:

•Host computer system

•VT-100 emulator program with XMODEM file transfer capability
