== Swapping from Cumulus 1 to MX ==
 
If you are '''running MX on Windows''', filenames are not case sensitive, so MX will recognise "Cumulus.ini" or "cumulus.ini". But although Cumulus 1 might recognise "Cumulus1.ini" or anything else other than "Cumulus.ini". MX only recognises "Cumulus.ini".
 
If you are planning on '''running MX on another device''', filenames are case sensitive, and your Cumulus 1 configuration file must be called "Cumulus.ini" with an initial capital followed by lower case, so it might need to be renamed.
 
Once it has been processed by MX, the ex Cumulus 1 main configuration file will gain a lot of new entries, and a number will be ignored.
 
=== Parameters changed ===
 
There are some parameters that are different for Cumulus 1 and Cumulus MX, whether you need to change them depends on your set-up.
 
If you use the standard trends web page:
*Replace: '''IncludeSTDImages=1''' (Cumulus 1) by ''IncludeGraphDataFiles=1'' (Cumulus MX) in [FTP site]
 
If your weather station uses a serial port type connection:
*Replace: '''Port=n''' (Cumulus 1) where n is a number, by ''ComportName=COMn'' (Cumulus MX on Windows) where the value is a string where n is same number, or replace by '''ComportName=/dev/ttyUSB0''' (CumulusMX on unix device) where the actual device name might need to be different if you have multiple USB ports.
 
If you use a RG11 rain gauge:
*Replace: '''RG11port=n''' and '''RG11port2 =n''' (Cumulus 1) where n is a number, by '''RG11portName=xxxx''' and '''RG11portName2=yyyy''' (Cumulus MX on Windows) where the value is a string with values as per previous paragraph depending on device on which Cumulus MX is running.
 
=== Parameters added ===
 
This depends upon which version of MX you install when you move from Cumulus 1, please see all release announcements for details.
