INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENGINEERING PTF ON ENHANCED MPNP V1R3
(Enhanced V1R3 must be previously installed.)
 
 
NEW: EPTF's must now be activated! PLEASE READ.
 
 
NOTE: If there are engineering PTFs(EPTFs) already on your machines
then their compatibility must be verified with a 6611 product engineer
first. For additional assistance with EPTF installation, consult the
Multiprotocol Network Program Supplement Version 1 Release 3
(Order Number: SD35-0238)

   hit ESC 0 to return to the main System Manager Menu
   hit ESC 3 (or PF3) to go to the fast path prompt
   type: files_sum filename  then hit ENTER (where filename = EPTF name
      in the transfer directory or use mpnp* for all mpnp images).
      Example: files_sum mpnp.obj.1.3.0.0.FX12345.bff
      the check sum number that comes back should be: 0 x (x is the image size)
   If the above check sum number is not zero, do not proceed. 1st try
      reloading the EPTF into the transfer directory.  If the check sum
