AirWave 7.5.6 | Release Notes 3
New Diagnostics Graph
The 7.5.4 release introduces a new graph on the System > Performance page. The graph shows the current
number of Web server connections and the current number of database connections over a period of time.
This new graph provides better visibility into errors that may occur due to Web server connection limits.

Browser Updates
Support for IE 7 has been deprecated in this release. Users are encouraged to upgrade their browsers to
newer versions of Internet Explorer. A complete list of supported browsers is available in the AirWave
7.5.6 User Guide.
VisualRF Enhancements
 When matching a new planned device with a managed device, the Match With Managed Device
window now allows you to search managed devices based on the device’s Group or Folder.
 When planning a new region, users can now specify the AP to Sensor ratio. In prior versions of VisualRF,
this was hard coded to 4 APs per sensor.
Platform Enhancements
 New installations of AirWave are built on the CentOS 6.2 platform. Installs performed on Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.2 are also supported.
 A new command was added to the Run a command drop down menu on the Clients > Client Detail
page:
show datapath session table <ip_address>
This command replaces the show datapath session | include <ip_address> command.
 When the name of a device is changed under the Modify Devices window on the AP > Manage page,
the device’s check box is automatically selected.
 The table on the APs/Devices > List page can now be filtered by the Type and Floor Plan columns.
 The Inventory Report now displays a count of devices running each version of firmware. In addition,
the existing Firmware Version Summary section was renamed Model/Firmware Version Summary.
This summary now displays the manufacturing model information in addition to the firmware version.
NOTE
In 7.5, migration from a 5.x install to 6.2 is not required, but 5.x support will end in a future release. To upgrade to
CentOS 6.2, back up your AirWave server to a safe location, and then do a clean installation from the AirWave ISO
that includes CentOS 6.2 (7.5 or higher). After CentOS 6.2 is installed, you can restore your AirWave backup. Refer
to the AirWave 7.5 User Guide for information on backing up and restoring AirWave.
