The CPC-EX Card
The CPC-EX card is an expanded and enhanced CPU card for the DBS. It replaces the CPC-
B and CPC-C cards, combining the facilities of both and providing new facilities to further
enhance the functionality of the DBS.
The CPC-EX can be fitted to any existing DBS system, directly replacing the CPC-B or -C
card installed. The memory can be RAM transferred between CPC-B v3.2 or later and CPC-
EX but not from CPC-C to CPC-EX, so full programming details must be recorded before
upgrading a card where a manual system reprogram is required.
In conjunction with the CPC-EX there is a new range of handsets, which can directly replace
the current range and offer expanded features over the previous models. The new handsets
will only operate with the CPC-EX or later software, earlier handsets will still operate with
CPC-EX.
