MeridianMail on CPPM Co-Resident Rls 6.0

[lexer]

Hi

I'm upgrading a Meridian option 11c rls 4.5 to a CS1000E CPPM Co-Resident rls 6.0, The customer has a MM rls 13 in the option 11c, My question: Is the MM rls 13 compatible with the CS1000E CPPM Co-Res. rls 6.0?
In the upgrade process I loaded the backup from the rls 4.5 to rls 6.0 but the MM configuration doesn't appear on the CS1000E (AML 9, TTY 8, Phones Model 2008 on slot 10).
I'm trying to add the AML 9, VAS and phones model 2008, But I don't see some prompts.

Thanks!!!

Officially EoL since feb 2007.
On option 11C the MerMail Card option used an AML running off the backplane. On CS1000E chassis, I don't think you can use this anymore. Here's why:

The CPPM processor controls other components thru ELAN. Therefore, if you had a large MerMail with AML running out on RS-232 port, you'd have to setup the AML on the Terminal Server Chassis. But this won't work with card option because there are no such RS-232 connector.

For the AML to run off the backplace, we'd need the MGC card to assume tha function of the old NTAK20 cpu card. But according to documentation, this does not seem to be among the functions ported from the NTAK20.

very interesting problem. Finally, after 9 years of postponed EoL, this might be The End.

Anyway, the MerMail Card option were release more than 10 years ago. The incoporated 1GB SCSI Hard Drive. Once this harddrive dies, how wouldn't you find replacement part ?

I did an upgrade of an 11C system to Rls 5.5, on installing the archived database from the previous release, it promptly removed all Mail Config, and did not accept the commands to rebuild the aml etc. Had to install CallPilot, hurriedly despatched by Nortel.
