You cannot change the link distance range of the module. However, you can license a
Canopy SM to uncap its aggregate throughput (a capability of the Advantage SM).
Encryption Standard or Frequency Band Range
The fourth digit in the part number usually indicates the encryption standard that was
preset at the factory. 1 indicates the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES). 0 indicates
the Data Encryption Standard (DES) standard. For example, if the part number is
5201BH, then transmissions from the module are encrypted according to AES. If the part
number is 5200BH, then transmissions from the module are encrypted according to DES.

5700BH
An exception to this general rule is that the fourth digit in the part number of 5.1-GHz
modules is 2. These modules are differentiated from 5.2-GHz modules by the leading
four digits (5202 for 5.1 GHz, 5200 for 5.2 GHz).
You cannot change the encryption basis (from DES to AES, for example), but you can
enable or disable the encryption.
Module Type
The next two alpha characters indicate the module type. For example, CK indicates that
the module is a Cluster Management Module.

1008CK
The module type cannot be changed.
Reflector Added
In specifications tables and price lists, the trailing characters RF or RF20 indicate that the
associated information applies to the module being
• mounted to the 27RD Passive Reflector Dish, in the case of specifications.
• ordered with the 27RD Passive Reflector Dish, in the case of price lists.

However, this designation is not shown on either label of the module, and a module
ordered with the dish can be deployed without the dish.
