2.      Condition

  • The RFGW1 must have an octal license(8_CHANNELS_PER_PORT) installed

 

3.      Symptoms

The problem is characterized by the following behaviour:

Under the RFGW1 GUI alarm tab, we are seeing a “License Violation” active alarm as per the following screenshot:

This license violation alarm does not impact the performance of the unit, all services are running fine.

 

4.      Cause

The RFGW-1 does support up to 8 QAMs per port (96 per chassis).  An Octal license upgrade is required for that.  However if you have an octal license on the RFGW1, you will then require 2 x DVB Scrambling (PowerKey or DATA) licenses for each chassis because those licenses only enable 4 QAMs per port.

 

5.      Solution

There are 2 solutions for this: 

    5.1 Install an additional DVB Scrambling, PowerKey or DATA license

    This is a solution if you want to use 96 QAM ports with an octal license and simultaneously want to use one of these functions -DVB Scrambling, PowerKey or DATA- with their respective license.

    5.2 Remove the Octal license.

   This could be a solution if you want to use one of these functions -DVB Scrambling, PowerKey or DATA- with a license but don't need an octal license (which means you will use 4 QAMs per port only).
