+ | ==== New in Version 4.4 ==== | ||
+ | ^ Feature ^ First introduced ^ | ||
+ | | **GUI improvements: | ||
+ | | **SDK improvements: | ||
+ | | **WLAN: 8 SSIDs:** It is now possible to configure up to 8 SSIDs in AP-Mode for following routers: NB3800, NB3700 series, NB2800 series, NB2700 series, NB1600. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **New Services available for ITxPT and FMStoIP Feature:** The services ITxPT and FMStoIP are available under two separate service licenses. Please contact sales for any inquiries. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **STP and RSTP for soft-bridges: | ||
+ | | **Improved user access rights:** The access right management for users was improved. It is now possible to grant native shell access to additional admin users or to disable shell access for a user. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **Active GNSS antenna for NB1800 and NB1810:** New HW releases of NB1800 and NB1810 support active GNSS antenna. It can be configured via GNSS settings now. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **Additional GRE tunnel parameters: | ||
+ | | **Additional settings for BGP:** The BGP setup now allows to configure additional parameters for time-out, hold-time and weight. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **ETH2 on NB1810 can now be enabled:** NB1810 now allows to disable the SFP port in favor of ETH2 as an additional Ethernet port. | [[ftp:// | ||

+ | | **QoS with bridged WLAN interfaces: | ||
+ | | **IPsec improvements: | ||
+ | | **Support for new router model NB2810:** Added software support for the new NB2810 router. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **GUI improvements: | ||
+ | | **Prevent down-grade to incompatible version:** If you want to downgrade to an older release, you may have to install intermediate releases. Normally that’s the latest release of the major version of the desired software. The Update process will detect the release number of the uploaded image and prevent installation of invalid releases.. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **IPsec:** The number of configurable IPsec tunnels was increased to 10. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **New NetModule CI** | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **Added support for passive CAN interfaces on NB800 and NB1601:** There is a new hardware extension providing passive CAN interfaces for NB800 and NB1601. These interfaces are supported now. Passive interfaces are designed so that they can only be used for listening on the CAN bus, while the software is unable to send anything on the bus. Also enabling termination resistors for the bus by software is not possible on the passive interfaces. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **Active GNSS antenna for NB1800 and NB1810:** New HW releases of NB1800 and NB1810 support active GNSS antenna. It can be configured via GNSS settings now. | [[ftp:// | ||

+ | | **SDK improvements: | ||
+ | | **SNMP service improvements: | ||
+ | | **Added support for certificate chains for OpenVPN export mode configuration: | ||
+ | | **Netflow interface supervision for Ethernet and WWAN interfaces: | ||
+ | | **Key-parameter support for GRE tunnels:** GRE tunnels now support the Key-parameter which is used to separate different GRE tunnels between two end-points. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **CLI improvements: | ||
+ | | **Fix time stamp in NMEA stream:** Some GNSS chipsets are known to provide an invalid date in November 2019 due to the GPS-rollover issue. Time stamps in NMEA frames will be altered to fix this issue for all chipsets. This functionality can be disable. Please contact our support if you need unmodified data. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **WLAN fast roaming:** Fast Transition (802.11r) and pre-authentication is now supported. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **WLAN band steering:** It is now possible to steer WLAN clients from one frequency band to another. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **L2TPv3 support:** L2TPv3 tunnels can be configured and bridged to local interfaces. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **Update of 3rd party software packages:** Linux Kernel was updated to LTS release 4.19. curl was updated to version 7.64.0. OpenSSL was updated to 1.0.2r. OpenVPN was updated to 2.4.6. Busybox was updated to 1.28.4 | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **Allow multiple VRRP instances: | ||
+ | | **Disable low data rates as WLAN access point:** It is now possible to disable low data rates in WLAN 2.4 GHz frequency band to avoid sticky clients and decrease airtime utilization. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **Improved voice call quality:** On NB1601 the voice quality was improved by better software sound processing. | [[ftp:// | ||

+ | | **GNSS epoch rollover:** Several GNSS modules from different vendors will face an unsigned integer overrun in November 2019. This will result in a time offset of about 20 years. Our system software will handle this issue. No action is needed (apart from updating to latest NRSW software) as long as your application does not derive time stamps directly from the GNSS NMEA stream. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **More status information on SWI interface for QMI based WWAN modules:** The WWAN status information was extended to show information on SWI status. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **IPSec now supports certificate chains:** You can now upload certificate chains for IPSec connection establishment. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **Updated link to latest software:** The default link for automated software updates was pointing to wrong location. That was fixed. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **U-blox Toby L2 Series:** The u-blox Toby-L200 and Toby-L201 are now supported by NRSW. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **Provide system time to NB1601 GNSS module on boot:** To acquire faster GNSS 1x we initialize the internal clock of the GNSS module with the system time. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **Watchdog supervision of OSPF and BGP daemon:** OSPF and BGP daemon are now supervised by watchdog. This will result in a reboot and reinitialization of the router if one of these daemons crashes. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **APN credentials printed to logs:** With debug set to maximum the login credentials for the WWAN APN were printed to the logs. In most setups there is no secret data in APN credentials as they are common for all customers of one provider and can be looked up on the Internet, but if you use a private APN they should not show up in the logs. | [[ftp:// | ||
+ | | **Assisted GPS:** Assisted GPS is now supported with u-blox Neo M8 GNSS modules. | [[ftp:// | ||

| **SW update package validated before upload:** An invalid SW update package is identified in the web interface before the actual transfer to the target was performed skipping the process of slow up-load of potential invalid packages via mobile network. The new architecture also allows us to provide better and more detailed feedback on the current status of the update. | [[ftp:// | | **SW update package validated before upload:** An invalid SW update package is identified in the web interface before the actual transfer to the target was performed skipping the process of slow up-load of potential invalid packages via mobile network.
