Introduction
ProCurve Wireless Edge Services zl Module
RP Licensing
Each Wireless Edge Services zl Module (J9051A) includes an RP license, allowing
it to adopt and manage up to 12 RPs. This nonremovable RP license ships with the
module.
Note Because an RP can include two built-in radios, the Wireless Edge Services zl Module
can manage up to twice as many radios as it can adopt RPs. With the default RP
license, the module can manage up to 24 radios.
If you connect a thirteenth RP to the wireless services-enabled switch, the module
does not adopt it. The module can, however, adopt the RP if you disconnect one of
the other RPs: the module does not bind a license to a particular set of RPs.
For the same reason, you can move the module to a different wireless services-
enabled switch, and it continues functioning as before. It simply adopts the RPs that
connect to the new wireless services-enabled switch. (Modules also retain licenses
if you move them to a different slot in the same switch.)
You can purchase two types of additive licenses:
■ a license which allows the Wireless Edge Services zl Module to adopt 12
additional RPs
■ a license which allows the Wireless Edge Services zl Module to adopt 48
additional RPs
You can install any combination of these licenses. The Wireless Edge Service zl
Module can adopt a maximum of 156 radios.
For networks that require between 12 and 48 RPs, purchase additive 12 RP Licenses.
For networks that required between 48 and 156 radios, it is generally recommended
that you purchase the 48 RP Licenses.
Table 1-4 shows the licenses you should buy to support a particular number of RPs.
