Software Release 13.4.1 is now available (Supports PMP/PTP 100, PTP 230 and PMP 430)

A huge thanks to all the Beta users for the valuable feedback during the beta period. 

Software Release 13.4.1 supports PMP/PTP 100, PTP 230 and PMP 430. The software packages are available for download here: https://support.cambiumnetworks.com/files

Release 13.4.1 has the following Enhancements and Fixes:

Enhancements:

  • Configurable option to allow ICC connected SM to use the AP’s Mgmt VID instead of the SM’s own Mgmt VID
  • Updates to Event Logs for Radio Reset Cause
  • Display IP of the RADIUS Authentication Server of each SM on the Session Status list
  • GUI Option for FreeRun to work at boot up  
  • Minor Configuration File changes
  • Trap for GPS Sync loss will now be sent if the radio is rebooted. 
  • Interference Stats on the SM 
  • Update to the reboot message in the event log caused by CNUT
  • Syslog Improvements  
  • Disconnect and Stop messages are now supported in RADIUS
  • Enhanced Jitter Stats on PMP 100 SMs
  • “Aiming” page (previously Alignment Tab). The Aiming page is similar to spectrum analyzer where the SM will scan and list all scanned APs on its page (and the AP Evaluation page) but will not come into session with any APs. Two modes of operation are supported:
    1. Single Frequency Only: The SM will scan only the configured frequency and list all scanned APs 
    2. Normal Frequency Scan List: The SM will scan all checked frequencies and list all scanned APs

Fixes:

  • SNMP OID GetChanBandWidthFlash returns the correct Chanel Bandwidth for SMs
  • NAT Port Mapping now works properly with Configuration File
  • Memory corruption that may occur when using RADIUS
  • Importing/exporting of the Authentication Key now works properly with Configuration File
  • 900MHz FSK and OFDM frame alignment fixes
  • P8 radios now correctly load 13.4.1
  • Fix bug where DHCP Option 81 is incorrectly populated
  • Fixed “varbind error” in CNUT
  • Fixed an issue where AP resets after a user logs in, when Authentication is set to “Remote” or “Remote then Local” and Accounting is enabled without configuring all three Accounting servers. 
  • whispGPSInSync and whispGPSOutSync traps are repeatedly sent out when the radio loses sync
  • Config file: Shared secret of RADIUS server does not export correctly 
  • Unable to ping from the telnet interface of an SM in NAT mode to a PC connected to it on its LAN interface

Great, thanks Sri! So this is going to be the last release for PMP100 right?

Hi Eric,

Yes, this is the last release for all three platforms. Only exception is that we will continue to support PMP 430 SMs to interoperate with PMP 450/450i APs in 14.x releases.

Thanks,
Sriram

We typically use CNUT (ver 4.9.18) and the AP auto-update feature to update SM's under an AP. We've updated all the AP's to 13.4.1, and enabled auto-update like we've done for every prior release... but now CNUT is telling me that every 13.4 SM is  not updatable. Here's a sample from the log: "03/02/16 12:05:51 INFO   Host: AP:[10.214.15.42].LUID:[015];ESN: 0A003E25EC54;Message: Update Not Applicable. SM:(MAC=0A003E25EC54 )"

Is there a new version of CNUT that addresses this issue or something I'm missing here?

Hi Eric, 

Are these PMP 100s? Which band?

Thanks,

Sriram

Yes, these are PMP100's in the 2.4 and 5.7 bands. P9/P10 boards.... NO P8's. AP's are advantage, SM's are regular.

We've tried a couple more things too... Like rebooting the AP's, and then rebooting the SM's... disable and re-enable auto update... we've been able to use these tricks in the past to get SM's updated that were skipped for whatever reason. These tricks don't seem to be working this time.

Here's some extended CNUT log output. AP is PMP100 2.4 P10 running 13.4.1. All SM's are P9/P10 and running 13.4:

Another strange thing I'm noticing, is that multiple AP's (2.4 and 5.7) are now showing:

Channel Frequency :
None

On the main status page... although the channel IS set, and working properly. A reboot does not seem to fix this.

Hi Eric, 

I sent you an offline email. 

Thanks,

Sriram

OK, so it does look like auto update is working using my normal method... it's just taking way way longer then I'm used to. After I got done with dinner I checked a few AP's I had set to auto-update, and they did in fact update all of the clients to 13.4.1... it just took 1 hour to finally do it. For whatever reason, every time I've used auto update before it's done it way way faster. I'm going to go through the rest of the AP's and check, but I've already checked a handful so far and everything is good. Sorry about the false alarm.

Has there been any significant changes from Beta 13.4.1 (build 14) ?  My whole PMP100 network is currently running on build 14 and were just wondering whether it's going to worth the effort to upgrade to 13.4.1 stable?

Thanks in advance,

-steph

Hi Steph, 13.4.1 Build 14 and 13.4.1 official are same binaries.

ah cool , thanks for the info.

Hi Steph, 

They are both the same but its better to upgrade to the official13.4.1 build, perhaps slowly over time. There is no official support for Beta Builds. 

Thanks,

Sriram

I've updated a couple 900 sectors so far. All seems to be fine. I also just updated a 5.7 sector and it properly shows the current frequency on the main status page.

If this truly is the final release for FSK, I really hope we don't find a bug somewhere later. Everything looks good so far, so lets hope not.

George - If YOU find something, we'll fix it... but only for you!

Just kidding.  Of course, if a critical issue arises on this software, we will need to ensure usability for our customers and we will support the necessary fixes.  I, also, am hoping this does not occur, because I want the engineering teams focused on our new products and amazing features that are intended to be released in the near future.

FYI, I'm seeing some SMs lose their additional color codes after updating from 13.1.3 to 13.4.1.

I've had zero issues with my couple of test sites on 13.4.1. So if this is the only problem, I don't really care. It's easy enough to fix.
