About the FrameSaver DSL Unit

 1-7

9783-A2-GB20-00

July 2000

To obtain an activation certificate, provide the model number (9783), your
OpenLane system license key number, and the number of FrameSaver units
whose SLV capability is to be activated. When you receive your certificate, it will
include an Activation Certificate number, the Feature Group Number for the
additional SLV features (Feature Group 2), your OpenLane license key number,
and the number of device activations (license keys) ordered.

When ready to activate SLV capability in the unit(s), run the OpenLane SLM
application. It will prompt you for the serial numbers of the units to be activated,
their IP addresses, and whether the activations will be immediate or scheduled.
OpenLane then activates SLV capability in the designated units and the units are
reset. A report summary will be available that provides information about
the activation certificate, the activated units, and the number of license keys
remaining.

The following table summarizes the features that are included in the two feature
sets. See 

Basic Features

 and 

Advanced SLV Features
