Product compatibility
All new products are compatible with the installed base of systems and can
be installed alongside existing equipment. For network enhanced Meridian
SL-1 systems, the upgrade consists of adding X11 release 15 software with
a new CPU ROM pack, Superloop Network cards in existing network slots,
and one or more Intelligent Peripheral Equipment Modules. For non-
network/GE enhanced Meridian SL-1 systems, an upgrade package is also
available. For more information about extending existing systems, see
Extended systems installation
(553-3001-250).
In addition, Meridian 1 systems now utilize the DS-30 signalling method
used by other Northern Telecom switching products, providing a common
signalling scheme throughout the Meridian 1 family and allowing for
system growth beyond 10,000 ports without requiring a change in peripheral
equipment.
