codes issued by Teledyne Paradise Datacom, uniquely associated with individual
modems.
To allow evaluation of modem features, all of the SAF features of the modem that it is
capable of supporting can be activated for a 10-day period by entering a feature code of
0. This is referred to as Demonstration Mode. Demonstration Mode can be activated up
to three times after which any further attempts to use it will be rejected. Note that it is not
necessary to wait for Demonstration Mode to time out before reactivating it: it can be
activated twice to give a 20-day demonstration period and three times to give 30 days.
The user will be alerted shortly before the demonstration period times out. As well as
allowing feature evaluation, Demonstration Mode can be used to test compatibility with
other equipment and allows rapid substitution of equipment in a crisis.
To enable one or more features permanently (referred to as Permanent Mode), a
modem-specific feature code needs to be obtained from Teledyne Paradise Datacom.
The code is tied to the modem serial number (available via the user interfaces and on the
back panel).
The features that have been temporarily enabled on a modem can be viewed along with
the time remaining before they become disabled, as can the features that have been
permanently enabled and those that can potentially be enabled.
The SAF function keeps the initial cost of a modem to the minimum and allows simple
field upgrading at a later date, as required.
7.5 Software Upgrading
It is possible to update the software and firmware within the modem via the Remote M&C
Ethernet connection web user interface (upgrades via the serial M&C port are not
supported). The software upgrade process is described in
Section 6.2.13 .
