Overview
cnMaestro was updated to support a number of new features that increase stability and improve the user experience. These include:
ePMP Troubleshooting
A troubleshooting page has been added for ePMP AP and SM devices. Previously this functionality was only available for Wireless LAN.
Technical Support Dump
A technical support dump is now available for ePMP AP and SM as well as Wireless LAN devices. Click on the wrench icon on the Troubleshooting page to download information such as configuration, OS-level details, and logs. The technical support dump can aid Cambium Support to debug issues.
Map Coordinates
The coordinates of a device on a map can be configured using a street address rather than typing in latitude and longitude.
Software Update for Daisy Chained Devices
When a group of devices is updated, and some of those devices power other devices in the group, the updates occur so the PoE source will not power cycle when the software image is transferring to the dependent device.
Note: devices whose software is updated during onboarding do not have this protection. Therefore, devices powering onboarding radios should not be power cycled until the software update is complete.
Move Wireless LAN Devices
Wireless LAN devices can be moved from one network to another network.
Sector Configuration
Configuration of Point-to-Multipoint devices can be applied per sector.
Manage Administrator Page
The Administrators section is simplified and aggregated into a single page. The management table has also been updated to enhance usability.
Wireless Client and AP Details
These are temporarily added to the Network screens.
Usability Enhancements
There are many smaller enhancements added throughout the UI to improve its usability and interaction. These include:
- The presentation for empty nodes in the hierarchical tree is clear.
- Serial number onboard is more user friendly if an incorrect serial number is entered (previously it had to be typed a second time).
- In the Software Update page, the display of current versions is now a pie chart.
- The overall UI more uniform, and items such as the representation of device up/down and job management and display have been standardized.
- In some screens internal product names are now presented as the external names.
- Dashes are disallowed in the Cambium ID, because they were unsupported in some devices.
