5.9.Product License Key

This feature is used to enhance/upgrade the default bandwidth on the airClient TOTAL units, and to convert the models between sB3416-01, sB3416-02 and sB3416-03.

By default, the 3416-01 allows a maximum bandwidth of 512 kbps, 3416-02 allows a bandwidth of 1 Mbps, and 3416-03 allows a bandwidth of 3 Mbps. Using the Product License Key feature, this default bandwidth can be enhanced to higher bandwidths depending upon the end user application needs.

There might also be a market need to convert an originally bought 3416-01 model to a 3416-03 model with Bridge Mode capabilities. By default, the cross-up gradation between models is not allowed. This means that the 3416-01 model cannot be loaded with a 3416-03 image. It can only be upgraded to future software releases of the same model, i.e 3416-01. However, if a special key is inserted, it is possible to upgrade between models.

The license key is based on the MAC address of the device, bandwidth desired for the upgrade and the model number / name. Follow the steps to convert between models or to enhance the unit to higher bandwidths -

1.Go to Tools System Configuration to read the Local MAC address of the unit.

2.Send the MAC Address of the unit, model name of the unit, and the bandwidth needed for the upgrade to smartBridges Technical Support Staff at support@smartbridges.com.

3.The smartBridges Technical Support Staff will generate a unique license key, based on these 3 parameters, and pass the key via email.

4.Click on Tools Product License Key to enter this unique license key and select the Save button to apply the settings.

5.If the license key feature was desired for higher bandwidth, the unit would be upgraded upon the reboot.

6.If the license key feature was desired for the cross upgrade of models, the changed model name will appear in the top right corner of the web interface, and it will now be possible to upload the changed model firmware to the unit.

Note: The license key feature will not work if the MAC address of the unit is provided wrongly to the smartBridges Technical Support Staff.
