The key features of V4.3.12 are:

New or changed features

  • Added cnMedusa as Preliminary
    • To select cnMedusa on the AP set the product to PMP 450m
    • Select Operating Mode = Sector to see the AP Performance using the equivalent Legacy capacity scheduler
    • Select Operating Mode = Downlink Mu-MIMO to see the AP Performance of the Mu-MIMO scheduler
  • General
    • Added ability to create a link to an AP from a subscriber site

This feature is available in two ways:

  1. Right click on a subscriber site in the navigation tree, this will bring up a window with a list of possible Access Points which are within range of the subscriber site. Select an Access Point and Choose OK
  2. Select the “New PMP Link from Subscriber Site” icon image001.png.
    1. This will bring up a window with a list of subscriber sites on the left.
    2. Select the site required (use the search facility to reduce the list size).
    3. Once a subscriber site is selected a list of possible Access Points will be displayed on the right.
    4. Select the required Access Point
    5. If more subscribers need connecting select Create Link and the window will stay open after creating the link
    6. To connect only one subscriber site or for the last in the list select OK, the link will be created and the window closed

Note that if a subscriber is already connected to an Access Point a warning message will be shown and the link cannot be created.

    • Added ability to change AP for multiple SMs
      • Select the list of SMs from either the PMP Links table or the Links to Subscriber Modules table at the AP
      • Note that the list of Access Points only contains Access Points that all SMs selected can be connected to. It is possible to select a list of SMs with no common Access Points, in which case the list will be empty.
    • Reduced default SM Target Receive Level to -54 dBm
      • This is a typical level for a network with frequency re-use.
    • Removed notes from parts that are now available to order
    • Added click-through image to start-up page to link to Cambium product information videos on Mac version

Bug Fixes

  • Updated default priority of PMP AP antennas, so that ePMP defaults to Integrated antenna rather than PMP 450 antennas
  • Corrected Fixed Tuned connector items in PTP 820i BOM at 11 GHz
    • Removed N110080L004 which is not required for PTP 820i
  • Corrected Lower 6 GHz antenna selection options for PTP 820i
    • Added the full antenna selection for wider bandwidths
  • Moved default position of Feeder Losses window for All Indoor link types to higher up the page so that the OK button is available on smaller monitors
  • Corrected issues with SM Range so that only SMs within SM Range rather than Max Range are available for connection in the New PMP Link window
  • Ensure that any profile changes (e.g added obstructions) are maintained when switching an SM between two APs on the same hub.
  • Use the formatting rules to control the color of the AP name in the tree
