Technical Support to receive a License Key for the new hardware
replacement. The License Key is based on the serial number of the
new unit and feature functionality that was originally ordered with
the unit. See the section “Replacing the UltraNet Edge 3000 Chassis”
in Chapter 12 for details about removing and re-installing all
interface cards in the chassis.

Version of UltraNet

ConfigManager

Edge 3000’s serial interface with the McDATA supplied serial cable. If this is
