Before you begin

To ensure successful STA implementation, the following criteria must be met:

¥The IPE Module must be connected to a Meridian 1 Options 21Ð81 system, or the Application Module must have an MVME712M transition card.

¥An MSDL card must be installed in your system and set for RS-232 DCE. For information on installing an MSDL card, refer to Chapter 8, ÒHardware installation procedures.Ó

¥Port 0 on the MSDL card must be available for the configuration of an STA terminal, which acts as a switchboard between the multiple applications.

¥At least one other port must be available for your STA system port connection to the Meridian Link/CCR.

Note: In order to get optimum use out of the STA feature (that is, to allow for connection to Meridian MAX and Meridian Mail), you may need additional available ports on your MSDL card.
