Upgrading a Unit to the SLM Feature Set
Full Service Level Management (SLM) capability can be activated in units that have the
basic diagnostic feature set at any time. This is an optional feature that adds real-time
and historical network performance monitoring and SLA (Service Level Agreement)
reporting capabilities to your iMarc unit and network. Simply order a Feature Activation
Certificate and provide the model to be activated, your OpenLane
key number, and the number of iMarc units to be activated to SLM capability. You can
order the certificate for a single unit or for many units.
®
SLM system license
OpenLane SLM Release 5.3 or above is required to schedule activation of SLM features
in units, and to manage the number of activations remaining on the certificate.
OpenLane also provides a Certificate Summary Report to assist you in the management
of the certificate.
When the Feature Activation Certificate arrives, add the Activation Certificate Number to
your OpenLane SLM application’s database. Activations can occur at any time, for as
many units as desired, until no activations remain for the certificate. When ready to
activate units, simply select the units to be activated and schedule the activations. The
activations occur when scheduled, and OpenLane updates the certificate information.
Contact your sales representative for additional information.

— COM Port in use by your PC: COM1 or COM2.
— COM Port Baud Rate is set to 19.2 Kbps.
— Character length is set to 8 data bits.
— Parity is set to none.
— Stop bit is set to 1.
— Flow Control is set to None.

Verifying that Self-Test Passed
To verify that the unit passed its self-test, go to the System and Test Status screen.
Main Menu → Status → System and Test Status
The results of the self-test appear directly under the screen title.
If any failure messages appear, reset the unit by disconnecting, then reconnecting the
power cord. The unit will perform the self-test again. If the failure reappears, call your
service representative for assistance.

About the Installation Procedures
There are two methods for installing and setting up the iMarc unit.
One person can install and set up the unit. If this is the case, see Full Installation
and Setup.
An installer can physically install and set up access to the unit, and the network
operation center (NOC) can complete the setup. If this is the case, see Minimal
Installation for Service Providers on page 13.
Certain procedures are common to both the full installation and minimal methods. These
procedures are referenced in the full and minimal installation instructions (starting with
Setting Up Local Management at the Central Site on page 15). Refer to them, as
needed.
Full Installation and Setup
An Easy Install screen is provided to simplify installation and setup. The Easy Install
feature can be used for the first part of the installation when one person is installing and
setting up the unit from beginning to end.
