Version: MSM v6.4.0.0 Description These release notes provide important release-related information. NOTE: In this document, except when identifying specific models, the generic term “controller” is used in place of MSM7xx Controller product names and the generic term “AP” is used in place of MSM3xx / MSM4xx / HP 425 / HP 517 Access Point product names.
Mandatory channel change required prior to software upgrade; discontinue use of channel 132 Applies to these Americas/USA models: MSM410 (J9426A/B), MSM422 (J9358A/B), MSM430 (J9650A), MSM460 (J9590A), MSM466 (J9621A), MSM466-R (J9715A), MSM310 (J9374A/B), MSM310-R (J9380A/B), MSM320 (J9360A/B), MSM320-R (J9365A/B), MSM325 (J9369A/B). IMPORTANT: Prior to upgrading to MSM software version 6.4.0.
MSM335 AP support stops at v6.3.x Support for the discontinued MSM335 AP is available in software versions prior to v6.4.x. As of v6.4.0.0, support for the MSM335 AP is dropped. MSM310, MSM320, and MSM325 APs work in controlled mode only As of this v6.4.0.0 software release, these three APs work in controlled mode only. Autonomous mode is no longer supported. Changes to the management tool The following changes have been made to the management tool in this release.
Use this parameter to restrict access to the wireless network to specific types of wireless clients. NOTE: • This parameter is only configurable when Wireless mode supports 802.11n. 802.11n only: Only wireless clients supporting 802.11n can connect. This prevents 802.11a/b/g client stations from accessing the wireless network. New local mesh parameter A new parameter, Search for better link on minimum SNR, has been added to local mesh configuration for Alternate Master and Slave nodes.
When this parameter is enabled, if the current SNR on the link drops below the value set for Minimum SNR, the node will search for a connection to another master with a better SNR. RF Manager software and MSM software version compatibility RF Manager versions 5.9.x, 6.0.x, and 6.7.x work with MSM software version 5.5.x or later. However, to use the WLAN Integration feature in RF Manager 6.0.x or 6.7.
• These OIDs are missing from the SNMP MIBs: colubris802dot11: 1.3.6.1.4.1.8744.5. colubrisVirtualApMIB: 1.3.6.1.4.1.8744.5.1 • (Applies to MSM access points in autonomous mode.) In rare cases, the radio might default to USA country settings, which could result in operation on unauthorized channels in the 5 GHz band and the loss of the use of channels 12 and 13 in the 2.4 GHz band. • When an MSM466-R AP is provisioned for local mesh, the AP might not inherit the correct radio selection.
• Synchronizing AP configuration changes can be slower if any rates are unchecked in Allowed wireless rates. As a workaround, do not uncheck any rates in Allowed wireless rates, or wait for the synchronization to complete. • If system-wide Auto-channel/Auto-power is enabled, it is not possible to configure the Auto-channel and Auto-power Interval for an AP radio participating in local mesh. • A local mesh master AP is unable to maintain a link to slave APs due to a DFS-initiated channel change.
