2 AirWave 7.5.6 | Release Notes
Suppressing Alerts if the Upstream Device is Down
A new setting available on the Device Down trigger suppresses alerts if the upstream device is down. The
behavior of existing triggers is preserved upon upgrade to 7.5, but the setting is enabled by default for new
triggers. AirWave users can combine the new setting with the Minutes Down threshold to allow enough
time for AirWave to determine the state of the upstream device.
Improved “Replace Hardware” Workflow
An improved Replace Hardware workflow makes it easier for AirWave users to find a new installed AP
and to select a replacement device for a Down AP. Users are presented with a list of devices in AirWave that
match the name or IP address of the device to be replaced. The workflow also offers users the ability to
select any device in the New Devices list or in the current folder or group.
A Replace Hardware button has been added to the AP/Devices > New Devices page and in the APs/
Devices > Manage page for a single device. In addition, users can select multiple devices to manage by
clicking on the Modify Devices link in the AP/Devices > List page. The Replace Hardware button is
included in this form so that users can replace hardware for multiple new or down devices at once.
If only one device is selected AMP provides an option to select the replacement device. When multiple
devices are selected, AirWave attempts to match the replacement device for each selected device based on
the Hostname/IP Address of the device to be replaced. Note that the Hostnane/IP Address must match in
order for the hardware replace to be successful.
MAC Address Search Enhancements
MAC address searches initiated from the Full Search screen no longer require colons, and searches will
match on substrings. For example, searching for ‘ABCD’ will now return matches that contain ‘AB:CD’ as
well as ‘A:BC:D.’ If desired, delimiters other than colons can be used, such as ‘A.B.C.D’ or ‘A-BC-D.’
Noise Floor Trigger
Added a new Noise Floor trigger. Users can specify a dBm threshold and timer value, and the trigger will
send an alert if the noise floor is greater than the specified value for the specified period of time.
Configurable Mail Relay Server
Users can now configure a single relay host for the embedded mail server on the AMP Setup > General >
Additional AMP Services page. If “Use embedded mail server” is Yes, then a “Mail relay server” field
displays along with a text input field for the relay host. This optional field accepts a single, valid host name
or IP address. If the user does not enter a relay host, the default is to use the postfix configuration in which
AMP tries to deliver mail directly.
Additional Localization Support
The AirWave login screen now provides the following additional languages.
 Dutch
 French
 Spanish
 Italian
 Korean
 Turkish
 Traditional Chinese
AMP will remember the selected language until you log out and select another. Within the UI, a limited set
of elements have been localized.
