APPENDIX C1: MODEM CAPABILITIES & UPGRADES
DETERMINING THE HARDWARE CAPABILITY OF A MODEM
Normally where a Feature Code upgrade is available (ie one that does not require a physical hardware
upgrade) then the screens show "
Ò±¬»
" at locations where extra features would appear. These notes
can however be turned on and off by selecting

or

on recent software, so if no message is shown do not assume an upgrade is not
available.
To determine the
hardware capability
of any P300 Series Modem see Features: Hardware in
Appendix C2 which follows immediately. Any feature for which the modem Hardware is already present
can be added by a simple `Feature Code` upgrade from the front panel.
APPENDIX C2: FEATURE SCREENS
Under
ײº±
the modem shows a
Ú»¿¬«®»-
option. This details features by
assigning each feature a
letter
, and then displaying the letters for which features are available, or which may be added by
entering a `Feature Code`.
The available features are controlled by the following hardware and software mechanism. Needless to
say for any specific feature to be used, the equipment needs both the hardware to be fitted and the
software to have that feature enabled:
Hardware
The equipment determines what boards and assemblies are fitted when it powers up, and generates
an internal list of its hardware capabilities. This can be displayed, see `Features: Hardware` below.
Software
Some features are permanently software enabled (
Standard
features). This list can be displayed
(see `Features: Standard` below) and can be changed by entering a feature code issued by
Paradise.
Some features are enabled for a temporary period only (
Temporary
features). Again the temporary
feature list and its duration can be displayed (see `Features: Temporary` below) and changed by
entering a feature code issued by Paradise. The `Temporary features` facility is usually used to
provide extended customer evaluation (30+ days) of specific features.
All
available features can be
user enabled
for evaluation (
Test
features). A user activated feature
test enables
every feature the modem hardware can provide
for a period of 5 days. Each modem
provides 3 such user test periods after which the facility is no longer available (unless reset by the
entry of a valid feature code issued by Paradise). Again, features on test can be displayed (see
`Features: Test` below).
The feature menu is as follows:
Features: 1:In use 2:Standard 3:Temp
4:Hardware 5:Upgrades 6:Test Help
