Product Options
Click
Utilities ->
Product Options
in the left hand menu to display the Product Options
screen. The options keys (a string of numbers, letters, and dashes) enable RDL-3000
features including the maximum UL/DL PIR and frequency ranges. Options keys are
based MAC address, making each key unique to a specific RDL-3000.
IMPORTANT: Always enter and activate a purchased permanent options key before
testing temporary keys -- otherwise a Service outage will occur on the wireless link
when the temporary key expires.
At least one valid permanent options key must be purchased and installed before the
RDL-3000 is placed in-Service. A second permanent or temporary options key may be
added to trial new options. The options key limits the transmit power, operating
frequency range, and channel bandwidth per the regulatory domain governing the
location where the radio will be deployed. The operator does not have the option to
select the country or regulatory region of operation.

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 RDL-3000 will
expire and service is 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 is activated immediately when the Activate button is clicked. This selection
is not affected by switching firmware versions.
When a temporary options key is active, during the last 45 days before the key expires,
an expiry notice is displayed in this screen, an event message is logged daily, and an
SNMP trap is generated every six hours.
If the (temporary) active key expires, the RDL-3000 will attempt to remain operational by
automatically switching to the other key (e.g., permanent key).
Controls
Activate

(before clicking Activate), keys are saved only if both keys are valid.

You
MUST
reboot the RDL-3000 after activating an options key that changes
the Region Code. Refer to section 8.1: Regional Codes on page 172.
