Update Notes

If you are already operating an Forum 523/524 communications

system with an older version of the software, the following notes

will help you update to the release 7.

The release 7 is published at the same time for all members of the

Forum 500 / Forum 5000 product family. If you are operating

multiple communications systems, for example, on TC system

networking, updating all communications systems at the same

time is a good idea to ensure optimal compatibility.

Upgrade Licence

You can purchase a new Forum 524 communications system. This

offers an extended range of functions as opposed to the

Forum 523 prior model.

You can also use these features as needed on an existing

Forum 523 communications system. You can thus purchase an

upgrade licence:

z When updating the software to release 7 you can use the new

release 7 features without the extended range of functions.
