Activation Key
• IP-20C offers a pay as-you-grow licensing concept in which future
capacity growth and additional functionality can be enabled with Activation
key.
• For purposes of licensing, each IP-20N chassis is considered a distinct
device, regardless of which cards are included in the chassis. Each device
contains a single Activation key.
• Licenses are divided into two categories:
• Per Carrier – The license is per carrier
• Per Device – The license is per device, regardless of the number of
carriers supported by the device.

• Ceragon provides a web-based License Management System (LMS).

The LMS enables authorized users to generate Activation keys, which are
generated per IDU serial number.

• A 1+1/2+2 HSB configuration requires the same set of licenses for both
the active and the protected interfaces.

DEMO Activation key
• A demo mode is available that enables all features for 60 days.

• The demo mode expires in 60 days from the time it was activated,
and the most recent valid license goes into effect.

• The 60-day period is only counted when the system is powered up.
10 days before the demo license expires, an alarm is raised
indicating to the user that the demo license is about to expire.

Activation Key-Enabled Features
The default (base) activation key provides each carrier with a capacity of 10
Mbps. In addition, the default activation key provides:

• A single management service.

• Unlimited Smart Pipe (L1) services.
• A single 1 x GbE port for traffic.
• Full QoS with basic queue buffer management (fixed queues with 1 Mbit
buffer size limit, tail-drop only).

• LAG
• No synchronization

License Name Description
Enables you to increase your system’s radio capacity in
gradual steps by upgrading your capacity activation key.
Without a capacity activation key, each core has a
Radio Capacity
capacity of 10 Mbps. Activation-key-enabled capacity is
available from 50 Mbps to 650 Mbps. A separate activation
key is required per core.

IP-20-SL-2nd-Core-Act. Enables use of second core

Enables the use of Adaptive Coding and Modulation

IP-20-SL-ACM (ACM) scripts. A separate activation key is required per
core.

Enables the use of MIMO. A separate activation key is

IP-20-SL-MIMO
required for each core in the MIMO configuration.

License Name Description

Enables Multi-Carrier ABC. A separate licenseactivation

IP-20-SL-MC-ABC
key is required per core.

Enables the use of Header De-Duplication, which can be

IP-20-SL-Header-DeDuplication
configured to operate at L2 through L4.

Enables the use of Cross Polarization Interference

IP-20-SL-XPIC Canceller (XPIC). A separate licenseactivation key is
required for each core in the XPIC pair.

Enables the use of an Ethernet port for traffic. An

activation key is required for each traffic port that is used
IP-20-SL-GE-Port on the device. Any of these activation keys can be
installed multiple times with dynamic allocation inside the
unit.

License Name Description
Enables Carrier Ethernet Transport (CET) and a number of
Ethernet services (EVCs), depending on the type of CET
Node activation key:
• Edge CET Node – Up to 8 EVCs.
Edge CET Node
• Aggregation Level 1 CET Node – Up to 64 EVCs.
• Ethernet Service Model
A CET Node activation key also enables the following:
• Quality of Service (QoS)
• Network resiliency (MSTP/RSTP) for all services.
• Full QoS for all services including basic queue buffer
management (fixed queues buffer size limit, tail-drop only)
and eight queues per port, no H-QoS.

IP-20-SL-Network-Resiliency Enables G.8032 for improving network resiliency.

Enables H-QoS. This activation key is required to add

service-bundles with dedicated queues to interfaces.
IP-20-SL-H-QoS
Without this activation key, only the default eight queues
per port are supported.

Description
Enables configurable (non-default) queue buffer size limit
for Green and Yellow frames. Also enables WRED. The
default queue buffer size limit is 1Mbits for Green frames
and 0.5 Mbits for Yellow frames.
Enables the G.8262 synchronization unit. This
licenseactivation key is required in order to provide end-to-
end synchronization distribution on the physical layer. This
licenseactivation key is also required to use Synchronous
Ethernet (SyncE).
Enables Frame Cut-Through.
Enables secure management protocols (SSH, HTTPS,
SFTP, SNMPv3, and RADIUS)
Enables Connectivity Fault Management (FM) per Y.1731/
802.1ag and 802.3ah (CET mode only).
Enables performance monitoring pursuant to Y.1731 (CET
mode only).

Sanction state
If an Activation Key Violation alarm has occurred, and the 48-hour activation key violation grace period
has expired without the system having been brought into conformance with the activation-key-enabled
capacity and feature set, Yes appears in this field to indicate that the system is in an Activation Key
Violation sanction state.

All other alarms are hidden until the capacity and features in use are brought within the activation-key-
enabled capacity and feature set
