DK424 RCTUE/F Upgrade Using DKAdmin
DK424 RCTUE/F
Upgrade Using DKAdmin B
This appendix discusses considerations and steps for upgrading the Strata DK424 digital
business telephone system to an RCTUE/F processor.
DKAdmin software is required to upgrade a DK14, DK16e, DK40 or any DK280/DK424
RCTUA, RCTUB, RCTUBA/BB, or RCTUC/D database to an RCTUE/F processor.
DKAdmin requires the red 280Admin software protection key installed on the PC LPT1
printer port. This is the same red key used for running 280Admin.
For best results DKAdmin must be installed on a PC with a Pentium processor with 16MB of
RAM.
➤ To install DKAdmin
➤ See Chapter 2 – Installing DKAdmin for step-by-step instructions.
➤ To run DKAdmin
➤ At the DOS prompt or Windows Run command screen, change to the 280Admin path and
type: dkadmin and press Enter to run the program.
Upgrading to RCTUE/F
The upgrade can be completed on- or off-site. Before upgrading, use DKAdmin to create a
new customer file and download the existing RCTU database. This customer file can be used
as a back-up for your existing RCTU processor and should not be used in the upgrade process.
Off-site Upgrade
If you have a Strata DK280 or DK424 at your dealer office, you can save time and travel, by
downloading an existing database from the customer to your site via modem. Once initialized
and upgraded you can then deliver and install the upgraded PCB at the customer site.
➤ To do an off-site upgrade
1. From the File Menu, type m to select the Maintain Customer File function.
2. Create a new customer database by selecting the existing DK16e or RCTU (A, B, BA/BB,
or C/D) and Release (Release 1/Release 2 or Release 3 version).
3. From the File Menu, type s to select the Select Customer function.
4. Highlight the new customer and press Enter.
