Enable Software
Features
If the main-board assembly is successfully replaced, ensure that the
correct software features, if any, are enabled for the Customer. If software
features need to be enabled, a special licence file is required for the
replacement main-board assembly. The file must allow for the enabling
of the same software features as in the original assembly. Proceed as
follows:
1. If it was possible to carry out Task 3 of Subsection 5.2
(on page 109), go to Step 2. If it was not possible, go to Step 3.
2. Task 3 will have revealed if any software features were enabled for
the radio under repair. If there were, go to Step 3. If there were
none, return to Subsection 5.2 to continue with the servicing of
the radio.
3. Technicians not
at a CSO should contact their CSO regarding the
radio’s software features. Technicians at CSOs should contact
Logistics at TEL.
4. Supply the serial number of the radio under repair, and the serial
number of the replacement main-board assembly.
5. If it is known from Task 3 above that the radio had software
features enabled, go to Step 6. Otherwise go to Step 7.
6. Ask the CSO (or TEL) for a licence file for the replacement main-
board assembly. The CSO will supply the required file. Go to
Step 8.
7. Ask the CSO (or TEL) if the radio under repair had any software
features enabled, and if so, to send a licence file for the
replacement main-board assembly. The CSO (or TEL) will either
indicate that the radio had no software features enabled or supply
the required file. In the former case return to Subsection 5.2 to
continue with the servicing of the radio. In the latter case go to
Step 8.
8. On receiving the licence file, run the programming application on
the test PC. On the menu bar click “Tools” > “Optional Features”.
The “Software Feature Enabler” dialogue box appears.
9. Use the licence file to enable the appropriate software features.
The procedure is given in the on-line help facility under the
heading “Enabling a feature”. Then return to Subsection 5.2 to
continue with the servicing of the radio.
