About the Software Upgrade Key

MG 3200s are loaded with a Software Upgrade Key already pre-configured for each of its
TrunkPack Modules (TPM).
Users can later upgrade their MG 3200 features, capabilities and quantity of available
resources by specifying what upgrades they require and the corresponding TPM's serial
number (or MAC address), and ordering a new key to match their specification.
The Software Upgrade Key is sent as a string in a text file, to be loaded into the MG 3200.
Stored in the MG 3200's non-volatile flash memory, the string defines the features and
capabilities allowed by the specific key purchased by the user. The MG 3200 allows users
to utilize only these features and capabilities. A new key overwrites a previously installed
key.
