Task 3: Installing license keys
This task consists of the following procedures:
• Checking licensed capabilities on page 6-21
• Generating a new license key on page 6-23
• Entering a new license key on page 6-23
• Starting the full capacity trial on page 6-24
Some PTP 800 products are supplied with two license keys: one installed at the factory and
one alternative key.
A license key is not required in order to enable the 1+1 protection capability. Each of the
PTP 800s in the protection scheme is individually licensed and configured with its own
license key for the capacity of the link.
Checking licensed capabilities
To check that the installed license key provides the required capabilities, select menu
option System, License Key. The Software License Key page is displayed (Figure 118).
Check the attributes in the Capability summary section (Table 225).
Check that these attributes (other than MAC Address) are the same at both link ends,
otherwise the link will not operate correctly.
If any of the required capabilities are not provided, then perform Generating a new license
key on page 6-23.
