Introduction
This document highlights new features and significant updates in cnMaestro 3.0.4.
Important: Package Upgrade
cnMaestro On-Premises 3.0.4 is a Package release rather than a full OVA image. It must be applied on top of an existing 3.0.0 or 3.0.2/3.0.3 On-Premises installation.
Important: Web Browser
Restart your browser (or clear the browser cache with a hard reload) if you still see the older version.
Important: Update Precautions for CBRS Customers!
If you are using CBRS with cnMaestro acting as an HTTP Proxy, we strongly recommend configuring an external HTTP Proxy before updating to 3.0.4.
Anchor Account Creation
Cambium recommends all cnMaestro On-Premises users create Anchor accounts for their On-Premises installations, so they can simplify CBRS management. This will become a mandatory requirement starting in cnMaestro 3.2.0.
Organizations
Only Super Administrators can configure Organizations.
Third-Party WMS Geolocation Map Server
Support for a third-party WMS Geolocation Map Server is added to replace the default cloud-based tile mapping service. This configuration is available at the Administration > Settings page.
60 GHz cnWave Enhancements
Auto Manage Routes: Automates IPv6 Routes to DNs and CNs based on topology and PoP nodes status. Applicable only if PoP nodes and E2E Controller are in same Network/Prefix length.
Download device software image over HTTPS (supported from E2E Controller version 1.2).
Hide Sites and Add Nodes in E2E Network Tree Menu.
Debug and Remote Commands at Node and Network level (Supported from E2E Controller version 1.1).
New flow to send Node Association/Disassociation requests for links.
Summarized CPE Prefix in BGP parameters and removed offline node BGP statistics.
VLAN configuration to allow/drop untagged packets when Layer 2 Bridge is enabled.
Option to configure DHCP option 82 when Layer 2 Bridge is enabled.
Instantaneous Offline Alarm
Support instantaneous “Device Offline” alarms, instead of waiting 5 minutes before sending the alarm. Enable this with caution, because it may generate false alarms due to slow or unstable connections.
Enhancements to Active Alarms
The following updates have been made to Acknowledged Alarms:
- They are no longer included in the Active Alarm count.
- They are displayed after Unacknowledged Alarms at the same severity level.
- The font of the Active label will be regular instead of bold.
Sorting and filtering support are also added for the Acknowledge column.
Map Enhancements
The following are significant updates to Maps:
- The Map display is restructured with a collapsible sidebar that supports configuration and status.
- The icons are leaner to optimize real estate. The Tower and Site icons display device count.
- Smoother zoom experience on scroll.
Removed Reregistration Map Mode and added a new Link Quality Indicator (PMP).
Miscellaneous UI Improvements
Grid size is retained while moving across different grids within the current UI session. Also, column chooser options are retained for individual grids within the current UI session.
