System migration

When particular Meridian 1 systems are upgraded to run CS 1000 Release

4.5 and conﬁgured to include a Signaling Server, they become CS 1000M

systems. Table 1 "Meridian 1 systems to CS 1000M systems" (page 10) lists each Meridian 1 system that supports an upgrade path to a CS 1000M system.
