Hello,

I have a CICS and CallPilot 100 that are running very old software. I recently had it installed in my house, and it detected my T7316e sets as M7310 sets. I checked the System version under the Maintenance menu and it says:
SP: 30NeG00 NAT

I was thinking of buying a CICS 7.1 cartridge online and installing that. I don't care about the existing programming. My questions are:

1) What version is this CICS running?
2) Can I upgrade to 7.1 by installing the new software card?
3) What are the differences between the different packages? I see 7.1 software as CICS-RP, CICS-RIP, CICS-SP, CICS-SIP. What's the right one to buy for this SOHO scenario?

Also, I want to upgrade the CallPilot. I already obtained the software upgrade for 3.1 off of Nortel's website along with the upgrade instructions. Can I use any 64 MB PCMCIA CF card to do the job? Also, can I upgrade directly to the latest version (assuming I have the correct bootloader installed)?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
1. CICS4.1 IRAD off

2. Yes, by doing a startup (dont wait for it to complete) before replacing the new SW card

3. it depends on what you'd like
R = 4 lines, 8 stations max
I = IRAD enabled
P = AA enabled
S = 8 lines, 24 stations max

 
Thanks so much senk1s.

My CallPilot questions remain unanswered... anyone?

To reiterate:
1. Can I use any 64 MB CompactFlash card to upgrade the software, or do I need the kit from Nortel?
2. Can I upgrade to the latest version in one step, or do I have to upgrade incrementally?
