Release Management; Upgrades - Cisco RF Gateway 1 Configuration Manual

Release Management

Installation of the 96-QAM channel aware releases V03.00.XX and above follow the
same guidelines and procedures outlined in Chapter 3: General Configuration and
Monitoring (see "General Configuration and Monitoring" on page 25).

Upgrades

Simply applying a 96-QAM channel license to a RF Gateway 1 release that is not
capable of 96-Channel operation (in other words, less than V03.00.XX) will have no
effect on the operation of that chassis. The license will become active when a 96-
QAM channel software release (V03.00.XX and above) is used to upgrade the chassis.
Conversely, upgrading the RF Gateway 1 to V03.00.XX and above without a 96-
QAM channel license allows the RF Gateway 1 user to continue to operate in the
existing mode (48-QAM channel) without any changes to the chassis configurations
or settings.
The Summary page clearly identifies all unlicensed channels as greyed-out. The
following graphics illustrate the absence (and presence) of the 96-QAM channel
license.
Non-licensed 96-QAM channels on the RF Gateway 1 Summary page appear as
