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).
Important: If the AN-80i is placed in-service without first entering a purchased
permanent Options Key -- the wireless link will experience service outages.
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.

Options Key 1
: Enter a valid permanent key. A permanent Options Key must be entered
for in-service operation. The temporary options key shipped with the AN-80i will expire
and service will be interrupted.
Options Key 2
: Enter a second valid permanent or temporary options key (optional).
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 active key expires or
becomes invalid by changing the mode between PTP and PMP, the AN-80i will attempt
to remain operational by automatically switching to the standby key (if available and valid
for the new application).
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
change to the Active Options Key setting. Both keys are checked when the Activate
button is clicked. Invalid keys are discarded and an error message is recorded in the
event log.
Notes:
If two keys are entered in the same session (before clicking Activate), values are saved
only if both keys are valid.
Keys are shared between PMP and PTP operation.
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 (e.g., AES).
A valid options key must be entered to enable PMP mode operation.
