System Upgrades
There are many configurations of DEFINITY G2 in the field. Each system can
have a unique configura tion. However, to simplify Release 8 upgrad es:
■The existing common control is always rep laced by a multic arrier PPN
■Existing traditional modules are rep laced by EPNs
■Existing universal modules are upgraded to EPNs
A new multicarrier cabinet wo uld then always serve as the PPN. If a G2 universal
module is upgrad ed to a DEFINITY ECS Release 8 EPN, hardware changes
(including c arrier replacement) are required .
