1.1Connecting The PC To The DXP Plus
Connect the serial data port of the PC to the maintenance port of the DXP Plus central processor (CPU)board. The maintenance port is a dedicated serial data port reserved exclusively for system
programming.
You can connect the PC remotely to the DXP Plus using a modem and a telephone line. The DXP Phs
includes its own modem that someone on site can connect between the CPU board’s modem port and an
outside telephone line.
NOTE: Do not perform a system software upgrade through a modem connection.

1.2Installing The VMMI Software ProgramThe VMMI software is your entry to the DXP Plus system. Before you can 
login to the system, you
must first load the VMMI software into your PC’s memory. When installing the VMMI software, your
PC need not be connected to the DXP Plus.

Insert the VMMI software disk in your computer’s floppy disk drive.
From the Windows Program Manager screen, select the File pull-down menu.From the File pull-down menu, select 
Run..At the Run window, type A:install, and OK your entry.
The install window gives a default file location to receive the program; however, you can enter a
different file location if you wish. OK the default file location or your new entry.
The install window gives a default location of the VMMI software disk; however, if you have
installed the disk in a different drive enter that location. OK the default location or your new entry.
The status window appears on the screen and the program loads automatically.
When the status window shows the install to be complete, OK the install.
The Windows Program Manager screen shows the DXP Plus group icon. Select this icon and
double click your left mouse button.10. The Windows Program Manager screen shows the VMMI icon. Select this icon and double click
your left mouse button. The computer runs the installed VMMI software program.

1.3Performing The Login Procedure
Once you have loaded the VMMI software using the Section 1.2 discussion, you can login to the systemby performing the following procedure.
1.Turn on your PC and load the Windows software.
2.Select the VMMI program from the Windows Program Manager screen
3.From the VMMI window, select the DXP pull-down menu.
4.From the DXP pull-down menu, select Login.
5.From the Login window, select the login mode:
6.From the login menu, select the communications port that your PC uses to communicate with the
DXP Plus. If you are operating remotely through a Hayes*-compatible modem, respond to the
modem prompt and enter the system requested information.
*Hayes is a registered trademark of Hayes Microcomputer Products
7.From the port window, select the serial data parameters that matches the requirements for the DXP
Plus. Remember, the DXP Plus reserves the central processor board’s maintenance serial data portfor PC connection. The default parameters for this port are as follows:
Baud Rate In
9600,Baud Rate Out
9600,
Data Bits
8,
Stop Bits19Parity Bits
None,Flow Control
None.However, Comdial engineers recommend that you use a baud rate of 19.2 kilobaud to speed up the
data transfer process. You can exit the VMMI program and use the Windows terminal emulation
programming to reprogram the serial data parameters of the maintenance port to this faster baud
rate (see Sections 1.8, 5.0, and 6.4 for details).
8.If you use the Windows terminal emulation program to set the data parameters of the maintenanceport, return to the VMMI program when you are finished, and repeat steps 3-7.
9.When you finish selecting the serial data parameters, OK your choices to return to the DXP Pluspull-down menu.
10. In the DXP pull-down menu, type 
th,: appropriate password. The system defaults all passwords to
I’lic746++; however, you can customize the passwords during programming if you wish.
11. After you finish the 
login requirements, OK your choices. The system responds by presenting its
serial number at the bottom of the VMMI window for your reference and shows an on-line message.12. Proceed with your programming needs by pulling down the appropriate menu and making a
selection.NOTE: 
If, for some reason, the system does not complete the login procedure, check your cable connections,
verify your serial data settings, and repeat the login procedure.
