Activating Features
A feature is active if the software that allows the feature to be turned on or off (enabled or
disabled) is present.
Fixed License Keys
Some features are activated by loading a fixed license key into the radio. Such a key arrives from
Cambium as a filename.url file. When you double-click on this file, your browser opens and
the location bar is populated by a lengthy string. This URL string begins with
http://<ModuleIPAddress>. If you need to load a key into a module whose IP address has
changed since Cambium issued the key, perform the following steps.
Procedure 1: Modifying a fixed license key for a module IP address
1. Right-click on the license key filename.
2. Select Properties.
3. Select the Web Document tab.
4. At URL, substitute the current IP address for the original IP address in the URL.
5. Click OK.
6. Double-click on the license key filename.
RESULT: The key loads into the module.
7. Open the Configuration web page of the module.
8. Review parameter settings and enable the feature if you wish to do so at this
time (see next section).
Enabling Features
A feature is enabled (functioning) if the feature is both active and enabled. For example, Transmit
Frame Spreading is active (can be enabled) in any AP or BHM, except 900-MHz radios. However,
Transmit Frame Spreading functions only if the Enable selection for the Transmit Frame
Spreading parameter is checked in the Radio tab of the Configuration web page in the module.
