Introduction of Enterprise View
The existing Wireless LAN View is renamed Enterprise View.
cnMatrix Support in Enterprise View
cnMatrix devices are added to Enterprise View.
Switch Groups for cnMatrix Devices
Switch Groups are supported for cnMatrix devices to facilitate bulk configuration. They allow cnMaestro to fully provision cnMatrix devices. They are supported for cnMatrix devices running software version 3.0 or higher.
Switch Groups are available under the Shared Settings menu.
Template-Based Configuration for cnPilot Home
Template-based configuration is added back for cnPilot R devices. Templates can be used in addition to existing AP Groups, though only one method is supported at a time.
Configuration Backup/Restore for ePMP/PMP/cnReach Devices
Configuration backup option is available at the System and Device levels. A backed-up configuration file can be stored outside of cnMaestro using the Export option. Only the latest backup copy is maintained on the Server.
Restore is supported at the System/Network/Tower and the Device levels. Progress of restore can be tracked through a configuration job.
Tools Enhancement for cnPilot Enterprise
Flash LEDs is supported for cnPilot Enterprise devices as part of Device Tree and under the Tools page.
