 Licensing
• IP-20N offers a pay as-you-grow licensing concept in which
future capacity growth and additional functionality can be
enabled with license keys.
• For purposes of licensing, each IP-20N chassis is considered
a distinct device, regardless of which cards are included in the
chassis. Each device contains a single license key.
• Licenses are divided into two categories:
• Per Carrier – The license is per carrier
• Per Device – The license is per device, regardless of the
number of carriers supported by the device.

• Ceragon provides a web-based License Management

System (LMS). The LMS enables authorized users to
generate license keys, which are generated per IDU serial
number.

• A 1+1 HSB configuration requires the same set of licenses for

both the active and the protected interfaces.

License is generated according to chassis SN

5 Proprietary and Confidential

Mandatory Cards - IVM
• Single card for 1RU and 2RU chassis.
• 2 x E2PROM on single board (function as 2 separated cards).
• Installed at the back of the chassis
• Holds the chassis:
• License.
• Node MAC address (48 MACs per unit).
• Serial number for chassis

6 Proprietary and Confidential

DEMO License
• A demo license is available that enables all features for 60 days.

• The demo license expires 60 days from the time it was activated,
and the most recent valid license goes into effect.

• The 60-day period is only counted when the system is powered up.
10 days before the demo license expires, an alarm is raised
indicating to the user that the demo license is about to expire.

Licensed Features

License Name Description

Enables you to increase your system’s radio capacity in
gradual steps by upgrading your capacity license.
Radio Capacity Without a capacity license, each carrier has a capacity
of 10 Mbps. Licensed capacity is available from 25 Mbps
to 500 Mbps. Each RMC card can be licensed for a
different capacity.
Enables the use of Adaptive Coding and Modulation
Adaptive Coding Modulation (ACM) scripts. A separate license is required per core.
ACM

Enables the use of Header De-Duplication, which can be

configured to operate at L2 through L4.
Header De-Duplication

Enables the use of Cross Polarization Interface Canceller

Cross Polarization Interface Canceller
(XPIC). A separate license is required for each core in
(XPIC)
the XPIC pair.

10 Proprietary and Confidential

Licensed Features
License Name Description
Enables the use of a TCC Ethernet port for traffic. A
license is required for each TCC traffic port that is used
on the device, as follows. Any of these licenses can be
installed multiple times with dynamic allocation inside
the unit.
• FE Port Enabled – Enables an Ethernet port on the
FE/GE Port Enabling
TCC or on an Ethernet LIC in FE mode (10/100baseT
only).
• GE Port Enabled – Enables an Ethernet port on the
TCC or on an Ethernet LIC in FE or GE mode
(10/100/1000baseT or 1000baseX).
• FE-to-GE Port Upgrade – Converts an FE port license
to a GE port license.
Enables Smart Pipe mode. When Smart Pipe mode is
Smart Pipe mode enabled, 1 x GE interface is enabled by default.

11 Proprietary and Confidential

Licensed Features
License Name Description
Enables Carrier Ethernet Transport (CET) and a number
of Ethernet services (EVCs), depending on the type of
CET Node license:
• Edge CET Node – Up to 8 EVCs.
• Aggregation Level 1 CET Node – Up to 64 EVCs.
• Aggregation Level 2 CET Node – Up to 1024 EVCs.
Edge CET Node
A CET Node license also enables the following:
• Network resiliency (MSTP/RSTP) for all services.
• Full QoS for all services including basic queue buffer
management (fixed queues buffer size limit, tail-
drop only) and eight queues per port, no H-QoS.
• LAG Support
•

Enables the following protocols for improving network

resiliency:
Network Resiliency
• G.8032
• TDM (PW) services 1:1 path protection

12 Proprietary and Confidential

Licensed Features
License Name Description
Enables H-QoS. This license is required to add service-
H-QoS bundles with dedicated queues to interfaces. Without
this license, only the default eight queues per port are
supported.
Enables configurable (non-default) queue buffer size
limit for Green and Yellow frames. Also enables WRED.
Enhanced Packet Buffer
The default queue buffer size limit is 0.5 Mbits for
Management (QoS)
Green frames and 0.25 Mbits for Yellow frames.

Enables the G.8262 synchronization unit. This license is

required in order to provide end-to-end synchronization
Sync Unit
distribution on the physical layer. This license is also
required to use Synchronous Ethernet (SyncE).
Sync-Over-Packet Optimized Enables Sync-over-frame optimized transport.
Transport
Enables CESoP PW mode on all installed Smart TDM
TDM Time-Slot Suppression cards. Without this license, only SAToP PW mode is
supported.
