RAC/ODU Parameters and Interoperation

3DB 23063 ADAA - Rev 004 July 2007
Node capacity is licensed according to required RAC capacity. The license is
software enabled within a compact flash card, which plugs into the right side of
the NCC. The same flash card also holds the configuration for the node and the
embedded system software.
It is the compact flash card, specifically its unique identifier, which identifies the
serial number of the Node.
For ETSI rates the base license is 40xE1 for up to 6 RACs. For North American
rates the base license is 16xDS1 for up to 6 RACs. Beyond this base, capacity is
licensed on a per-RAC basis.
Licensed capacity is field upgradable. For information on upgrading refer to
Licensing, Volume 4, Chapter 4.
