Activate feature
You can field upgrade a load module by activating a feature you want. You can purchase a feature for a load module with a specific serial number. You will receive an email from us containing an activation code. Before activating the feature, in IxExplorer, you must take ownership of the load module you want to upgrade. You cannot hot-swap the load module to complete the activation procedure.
After you have taken ownership, do the following:
-
Go to Tools > Options to open the Options dialog box.
-
On the General tab, in the Feature Activation > Open IxExplorer group, select Open IxExplorer to open IxExplorer of the corresponding release.
-
In IxExplorer, open the context menu of the chassis and select Properties.
-
On the Features tab, type the activation code in the Feature Activation box, and then select Activate to activate the feature. IxServer searches the chassis for the serial number that is embedded in the activation code and permanently activates the feature on the load module.
-
Select OK to save the changes and close the dialog box.
Example: You can upgrade your Xcellon Multis load modules to become 10G capable. For more information, see IxExplorer User Guide.
