3.8 AN-80i Product Options Screen

Click

Product Options in the left hand menu to display the Product Options screen. The

options keys (a string of numbers, letters, and dashes) enable AN-80i features including

the maximum uncoded burst rate and frequency ranges (region codes). Options key are

unique to a specific AN-80i (keyed to MAC address).

At least one valid permanent options key must

be purchased and installed before the

AN-80i is placed in-service. A second options key (permanent or temporary key) may be

added to trial new options without deleting the current key.

Important: If the AN-80i is placed in-service without first entering a purchased

permanent Options Key -- you will experience a service outage on the wireless

link.

Figure 15: Web - Product Options Screen

Options Key 1: Enter a valid permanent or temporary options key.

Options Key 2: Enter a valid permanent or temporary options key.

Active Options Key: The Active Options Key field selects the preferred key. If valid, the

selected key will be activated immediately when the Activate button is clicked. This

selection is not

affected by switching software versions. If the selected key expires

(temp) or the mode is changed (PTP/PMP) the AN-80i will switch to the standby key (if

valid).

Important: If the active options key is a temporary key -- always enter and

activate a purchased permanent options key before the temporary key expires --

otherwise you will experience a service outage

on the wireless link.

Activate: Click the Activate button to validate, save, and activate new options keys or

changes to the Active Options Key setting. All keys are validated when the Activate

button is clicked. Invalid keys are discarded and an error message is recorded in the

event log. If two keys are entered in the same session (before clicking Activate), values

are saved only if both

keys are valid.

Notes:

1. Keys are shared between PMP and PTP operation.

2. PTP mode has the following restricted operation when both options keys are invalid: 10 MHz

channel, 3 Mbps UBR, DFS permanently enabled, region based common frequency range,

no enhanced options (i.e., AES).

3. A valid options key must

be entered to enable PMP mode operation.
