5.4 Product Options Screen
Click Product Options in the left hand menu to display the Product Options screen. The
options keys (a string of numbers, letters, and dashes) enable AN-80i features including
the maximum uncoded burst rate and frequency ranges (region codes). Options key are
unique to a specific AN-80i (keyed to MAC address).
Important: If the AN-80i is placed in-
service without first entering a purchased
permanent options key the wireless link will experience service outages.
At least one valid permanent options key must be purchased and installed before the
AN-80i is placed in-service. A second options key (permanent or temporary key) may be
added to trial new options without deleting the current key. Advance notice is provided
when a temporary options key is about to expire. If the temporary options key is selected
as the active key, a message is logged and an SNMP trap is generated every 6 hours
during the last five days of operation.

Options Key 1: Enter a valid permanent options key. A permanent options key must
be
entered for in-service operation.
Options Key 2: Enter a second valid permanent or temporary options key (optional).
Active Options Key: Use this field to select the preferred key. This selection remains in
effect when switching software versions. If the selected options key expires or becomes
invalid (e.g., changing mode PTP -> PMP), the AN-80i will automatically switch to the
standby key (if available and valid for the new mode).
Important: To prevent a service outage on the wireless link, always enter and activate a
permanent options key before any temporary key expires.
Activate: Click the Activate button to validate, save, and activate new options keys or to
change to the Active Options Key setting. Both options keys are checked when the
Activate button is clicked. Invalid keys are discarded and an error message is recorded
in the event log.
Important: If new option keys values are entered for Options key 1 and 2 in the same
session (before clicking Activate), these values are saved only if both keys are valid.
Notes:
1. Keys are shared between PMP and PTP operation.
2. PTP mode has the following restricted operation when both options keys are invalid:
10 MHz channel, 3 Mbps UBR, DFS permanently enabled, region based common
frequency range, no enhanced options (e.g., AES).
3. A valid options key must be entered to enable PMP mode operation.
