2.2 Backward compatibility
The compatibility break between new 120.023 and earlier releases brings new constraints.
To ease support in the field regarding the backward compatibility on the installed base, the
compatibility with AOS version and associated licenses is:
• The release 120.021 (instead of 120.023) remains in the OXE system software.
• The release 120.017 (instead of 120.023) remains in the OXO system software.
Note: Release 120.021 is the support release of the 120.017 of the VoWLAN R4.1.
For new installations or updates, Business Partner can decide and choose the versions to be used
for the WLAN (and the system software will no longer force to migrate).
