In particular, CBRS BETA users should make note of the suggested 2 step process of upgrading to BETA-5, then upgrading their AP to 16.2 build official, then upgrading the SM’s to 16.2 build official. See the release notes for more details.
On the same day as this Radio software release, Cambium is releasing cnMaestro cloud version 2.4.0 and On-Premise version 2.3.2.
For the NOC software and documentation on the NOC version. The CBRS focused BETA servers have already been upgraded to 2.4.0.
In particular, for any CBRS BETA customers, please make note that the CBRS management tool will not be enabled after your cnMaestro cloud server has been upgraded to 2.4.0 until you’ve updated your contact information and entered payment information. See the CBRS standalone procedures document, posted on the 16.2 site listed above.
In the case that mvandebrake was referring to the On-Premises cnMaestro version, I edited Lena's post above to be a bit more clear. It's version 2.3.2 (it actually says 2.3.2 CBRS OVA on the webpage).
If that doesn't clear things up for you, please post a follow up message with additional detail. Thanks.
Any reason not to use on PTP450 gear? Deployed on couple and seems fine.
hci, It's absolutely fine to use for PTP 450 as well. 16.2 includes a small PPS improvement, which will help a tiny bit if your radios are running near 100% CPU.
can anyone confirm if the frame utilazaion bug being reported in 16.1.1 and 16.1.1.1 exists in this firmware or not?
I confirm that we have reproduced higher frame utilization in the uplink. It appears to be just a reporting issue, where the traffic is not impacted, even though the frame utilization is higher. We are investigating and will get back to you. Sorry for the worry. At this point I do not think there is a strong reason to downgrade for this issue, but we'll let you know more as we root cause it.
We did seem to see perfomance issues with throughput when running 16.1.1.1 that went away when we went back to 16.1 so it might be more then just a reporting bug.
Ill wait to hear back before going higher then 16.1 for now. The auto frame utilazation in 16.1 is a really nice feature and definatly helped on our crowded APs.
Anyone seeing issues with older 450 PMP gear running 16.1 or 16.1.1.1 upgrading to 16.2? CNUT seems to push it out but when the subs reboot they are on the original version.
Push it out to 450i or 450M and the SM's come up fine on 16.2
