8. Software Plug-Ins

8.1. Available plug-ins

Like other Fluidmesh radio transceivers, the Cisco FM Ponte kit is able to
take  advantage  of  plug-in  software  upgrades  that  add  features  and
enhance the performance of the unit.

The  following  table  lists  all  available  software  plug-ins  for  all  Fluidmesh
hardware devices, their specific functions, and their plug-in part numbers.

The  tables  that  follow  this  table  describe  which  plug-ins  are  compatible
with specified Fluidmesh devices.

Table 5. Available Fluidmesh software plug-ins

Plug-in

Is the plug-

in package

removable

and re-

installable?

Function

Part number

Bandwidth

Yes

A range of plug-ins are
available to enable increased
traffic forwarding bandwidth,
up to and including the
amount of bandwidth
specified in the part number
(including unlimited
bandwidth).

FM[model
number]-
[bandwidth limit]

Bandwidth
upgrade

Yes

If an existing bandwidth plug-
in is installed, this plug-in
allows bandwidth to be
upgraded to a higher,
specified value.

Note that if a bandwidth
upgrade plug-in is removed,
the unit's bandwidth
capability is not restored to
the level of the previous
upgrade (if any). Rather, the
bandwidth capability is
restored to the factory default
level.
