Description

AP-770

Vulnerability for updated APs

After the update from version 2.5.0 to 2.6.0, it was possible to get root access without entering password. This has been corrected for 2.6.1

AP-928

Remote host check causing unnecessary logs on on-premise

This has been removed, option “Provisioning” is disabled in order not to create too many log entries and confuse customers.

AP-1032

HF protocol windows size setting (7/14) not bound to regional setting

Instead of configuring the HF protocol window size (7 or 14) directly via the Web GUI, Service Mode, or Provisioning, this setting is now determined by the selected region for consistency. This change addresses issues encountered in previous versions.

AP-1078

Jumping channel issue

In very rare cases the Cloudpoint used ESL channel 0 for communication to ESLs instead of the configured ESL channel (i.e. option “managed” selected for ESL channel). This is now corrected.

AP-1077

Logging changes

Stay with log4cxx library but switching off remote appender and changing formatting to PLOG style (CSV type).

Serviceability

Improved SW-Update mechanism

Prior software update mechanism has shown some issues in cases when there is a big network latency during update. The software update mechanism has been improved to handle all kinds of network loss, interruption or latency.

The software update is possible from version 2.5.0 to version 2.6.1 and from version 2.6.0 to version 2.6.1.

AP-988

Serviceability

Logging

Improved and state-of-the art logging library (PLOG) with smaller footprints and less memory requirements. Catching logs for troubleshooting will be more accurate and straightforward in future.

AP-1053

Serviceability

Logging

For analyzing issues during a (manual or automatic) reboot, new “crash-logs” are introduced. Those will help to analyze why devices did not reboot correctly and do not come online after a reboot. This increases troubleshooting options.

AP-838

UI

Additional VGate information displayed on VusionManager

Newly introduced Access Point parameters on VusionManager displaying the serial number and the MAC address will help to correctly identify and locate the device physically in the shop.

Remote host check causing unnecessary logs for on-premise

AP-1032

HF protocol windows size setting (7/14) not bound to regional setting

Instead of setting the window size of the HF protocol (can be either 7 or 14) directly through Web-GUI, Servicemode or Provisioning this is replaced by setting the region setting (e.g. EMEA or US) to be consistent. This had caused issues in prior versions.
