7.02 版本中的变化
When upgrading from 5.95-1 or older versions:
the 7.02 firmware version contains major iPoll protocol changes (upgrade to iPoll 2). The upgrade will have an impact on the established iPoll link, which is why the existing link between the AP iPoll and Station will be lost. In order to prevent the loss of connection with the Remote side, first upgrade the Remote unit and only then the Local unit.
(Note: in order to simplify the upgrading process, before upgrading the firmware with major iPoll changes, it is recommended to turn off iPoll (change the operating mode from Access Point iPoll to an Access Point (auto WDS)).
V7.02 iPoll 2 is compatible with LigoDLB iPoll 2 as of version 7.50.
It is recommended to upgrade the LigoDLB device to 7.52 for better iPoll 2 performance with the APC series.
新增:
- Framed-IP-Address and NAS-IP-Address added.
修复:
- iPoll 2 client disconnection issues fixed.
- WPA2-Enterprise issues fixed
改进:
- iPoll 2 stability improved.
- WNMS agent supports partial config, which can be sent from the WNMS server.
- Improved speed when management VLAN is enabled.
