21.2 CONSIDERING SOFTWARE RELEASE COMPATIBILITY
Within the same Canopy network, modules can operate on Releases 4.n.n, and 6.n.n.
However, the features that can be enabled are limited to those that the earliest software
supports.
21.2.1 Designations for Hardware and Firmware
Canopy documentation refers to both FPGAs and hardware series (for example,
Hardware Series P7). P9 provides advanced capabilities. For this reason, the
documentation in some instances refers specifically to P9 as being required for a feature.
The correlation between hardware series and the MAC addresses of the radio modules is
provided in Table 46.
