DM240XR High-Speed Digital Modulator Front Panel Upgrade Procedure
MN-DM240XR– Revision 13 A–3
A.4 Demonstration Procedure
The procedure for enabling a 30-day demo of the options is similar to the procedure used for
permanently updating the modems feature set. The one big difference being that at the end of 30
days, the demo features will automatically be disabled and the modulator will revert back to its
permanent configuration.
At the end of the demonstration period, when the modulator reverts back
to its permanent configuration an interrupt in traffic will occur, regardless
of whether or not a demo enabled features was being run at the time. In
addition, operator intervention may be required to restore the data paths.
In order to avoid this interruption in service, the user can cancel the
demonstration at any time by following the instructions outlined in the
section on “Canceling Demonstration Mode.”
