Installing N108xA on a PC 

Without N1010A FlexDCA

Follow the instructions in this chapter when you are installing the N108xA-Series IEEE 802.3 

Ethernet KR/CR application on a PC, but you are 

not

 installing the N1010A FlexDCA application on 

the same PC. You must purchase and install a license for the 86100DU-401 or N109X-401. Once the 

license is installed, the 86100DU-401 or N109X-401 software will be enabled.
