Explanation
All
PPPoE-configured SM stuck
in “LCP (Link Control
Protocol) Negotiating”
Before, on a link with some re-regs, the SM might get
stuck in “LCP Negotiating” mode if a PPPoE session
was started, but the LCP and IPCP stages never
completed. Connect/disconnect buttons wouldn’t
have resolved the issue. Release 9.4 partially
resolved this issue, and Release 9.4.2 fully resolves
it.
A new stage of PPPoE session status called
Connecting was added. Now if there is a problem
setting up the PADI/PADO part of the PPPoE
session Connecting will be reported rather than LCP
Negotiating.

TFTP server option available
for upgrades (9958, 10352)
The TFTP server option for distributing files to SMs
during upgrading now works.
Using a TFTP server can significantly speed up
upgrades because
◦ Each sector can have 20 SMs under upgrade at
a time (network performance permitting) instead
of the 4 SMs maximum when files are served
from the AP.
◦ The TFTP server doesn’t use a 20-minute
inactivity timer between servicing different
hardware series (P7/8/9, P10, and P11) as it can
serve any hardware series SM on demand.
To use a TFTP server for upgrading SMs
◦ The TFTP server must be located on the same
machine as the CNUT or Prizm software.
◦ The SMs must be configured with Public
Network Accessibility (not Local) and have
assigned IP addresses.
For additional information on using the TFTP server
option see the CNUT Help user guide.
PMP 100
On P9 FSK APs, unable to
change Config Source and
VLAN Allow Frame types
(10357)
On P9 FSK APs, Release 9.4 doesn’t allow changing
of the Config Source or VLAN Allow Frame types
using the GUI. This is resolved in Release 9.4.2
PMP 100
P9 FSK 900-MHz radios
may show erratic Received
Power (10380)
A Release 9.4 improvement in P10 FSK 900-MHz
radios’ displayed Received Power caused an issue
with displayed Received Power on P9 FSK 900-MHz
radios in some cases. The underlying performance of
the radio was not affected.
Release 9.4.2 resolves this display issue for P9 900-
MHz radios and retains the improvements in P10
900-MHz Received Power reporting accuracy.
