Our merlin legend went down the processor died. I took another processor board and installed it. I renumbered it and when i try to retore from back up I get a message that says change system programming port to extension. Can someone help me get this system back on line? I changed the extension number on port one. I dont think that is what it meant.

What it means is the PROGRAMMING PORT was physically moved from the default of the 1st MLX port to one of the other 1st 5 ports on that module.
To fix this, using REGULAR SPM (NOT WINSPM) the sequence is:
System Program > Exit > System > Sys Prog Port > change it to the 1st MLX extension in the system.

I am doing something wrong and cant figure it out.. Any help is very much appreciated..

You would need to do a complete erase of the processor you install, BUT with no modules installed, before you do the restore.
Not to mention, the replacement MUST BE the same vintage of the one being replaced.
More info shown below, if you are interested.
