Troubleshooting the MERLIN II system somtimes involves replacing control unit modules. It is possible with Release 3 of the MERLIN II system, to remove and insert modules while the system is in operation.

NOTE: The Processor Module and Power Supply Modules cannot be removed using On-Line Module Swap. They require that the power be turned off to the control unit. The replacement module must be the same as the one removed (e.g., a 408 module must be replaced with a 408 module). If the replacement module is not the same, the MERLIN II system will restart when you exit the procedure.

Follow the procedures outlined below to replace a module or modules while the system is powered and in use. Any deviation from these procedures may cause the system to restart, with the loss of all active calls as a result.

To designate a station port from which to reset modules (called the “controller” station port), follow these steps:

1At the MERLIN II System Display Console, enter administration mode by sliding the T/P switch to P.
