Generating a License Key
ODUs are shipped with a default License Key factory installed. The default license key enables a
limited set of capabilities as follows:
•
Operation in selected regulatory bands (these are restricted by the ODU regional variant):
o
FCC/IC variants: 5.8 GHz USA (regulatory band 1).
o
RoW variants: 5.4 GHz unrestricted (regulatory band 8) and 5.8 GHz unrestricted
(regulatory band 35).
o
EU variants: 5.4 GHz ETSI (regulatory band 26)
•
“Lite” throughput capability (up to 125 Mbps).
A license key is required to upgrade the ODU to the following capabilities:
•
To allow the ODU to operate in other regulatory bands (these are restricted by the ODU
regional variant). This capability is free of charge.
•
To enable the SFP port. An Access Key for this capability is provided in the SFP module kits
(
•
To allow “Med” (up to 250 Mbps) or “Full” (up to 450 Mbps) throughput capability. Purchase
an access key from Cambium Networks (
). Cambium will email one Access Key for
each upgrade purchased.
•
To allow 128-bit or 256-bit AES encryption. Purchase an access key from Cambium Networks
(
). Cambium will email one Access Key for each upgrade purchased.
