ASI-IP-GTW User's Manual

10 Appendix D: Upgrade of Features

The ASI-IP-GTW ASI to IP Video Gateway encompasses software licensing of functionality. This appendix describes how to upgrade the product features with the software feature system.

Customers who purchase "base" software licenses may wish to increase their software functionality or feature set at some point. A feature license conveys the right to use a feature, but cannot add a feature to a software release that does not support it.

The following table describes which functionality is currently available through software licenses:

Table 25. Functionality enabled through software licenses
