====== What's new ? =======
===== WMC 3.2 =====
==== Server Software 3.2.x ====
Main changes:
- Improving Join procedure :
* Adding possibility to configure DevNonce feature (only applicable for OTAA devices) from dashboard and GMS API: activation/de-activation.
* Taking into account the technical recommendations for preventing state synchronization issues around LoRaWAN™ 1.0.x join procedure.
- Improving MIC error management:
* Differenciating counter issues and MIC error. Providing more information about MIC errors: "Reused FCntUp", "Exceed FCntUpMAxGap", "Invalid MIC".
- Improving Software Update :
* Adding the possibility to upload and delete software update to the server repository. Selecting a software available in the server repository and using it through workflow and GMS API.
- Improving Backhaul configuration:
* Adding the possibility to configure Ethernet static IP (DHCP deactivated), with optionally first and second DNS.
* Adding the possibility to configure cellular backhaul: APN (1 for Wirnet Station and up to 10 for Wirnet iBTS, iFemtoCell, and iStation), login, password, MCC, MNC.
- KPI Management:
* Adding the option to stop end-devices KPIs computing.
- Improve end-devices and gateways export and import:
* Export a list of end-devices or gateways to CSV format, with fields (all or only authorized ones) sorted by category.
* Import a previous export of end-devices or gateways.
- Adding a cluster overview:
* Panel with all the cluster information: name, customer, payload type, push enabled, push configuration, geolocation, geolocation expiration date.
* Histogram bar with the actual status of all the cluster's end-devices.
- Better support of AS923 region countries:
* Specific regional parameters defined for Japan, Indonesia, and Vietnam.
- Provide payload encoding:
* Add new field “encodingType” (Base 64 or Hexadecimal)in DataUpDto and PushDataUpDto.
* On the dashboard, display encoding type used for payload (dataUp, dataDown, mcDataDown, messages).
- Radio channels configuration :
* sharing gateway channel configuration between BSC and LNS: The end-device's CFlist is created from the gateway radio channel configuration.
* Improve mac commands: send / receive mac commands.
* Multiple gateways with possible different channel configurations.
- Support of additional Wirnet stations:
* Support of Wirnet iStation (with Embedded 3.2.x Software release).
* Support of Wirnet iFemtoCell-evolution (with Embedded 3.3.x Software release).
- Management of 16-channels configuration:
* By default, only 8 channels are configured after CFList within the Join Accept.
* For regions with dynamic channels plans, the end-devices are now informed of the additional 8 channels by NewChannelReq dedicated MAC command(s)
- Timestamping for buffering feature :
* In case of network latency or backhaul disconnection, the message is delayed so the reception timestamps from gateway and WMC can be different.
* Separation between message receive timestamps from gateway and WMC.
* Parameter gwRecvTimeadded to figure out the gateway reception timestamp.
* Both timestamp values (gwRecvTime and recvTime) are displayed on dashboard and pushed to the end user in DataUpDto
- When immediate sending, RX window choice is no more based on the networkMaxDelays, current ping value is now used.
- Add possibility to filter on power-loss alarm.
- Improvement of downlink messages process:
* For classA & classC, downlinks are now sent to the gateways immediately after being provisioned by LNS in order to increase the chance to target the RX1 window.
- Improvement of RX1DROfsset management:
* RX1DROffset=0 (no offset applied on DR) is now used for JOIN Accept.
* RX1DROffset=n (if set) is only applied on subsequent downlinks.
- Support of Wirnet iZeptoCell capabilities in BSC (3.2.10)
- Support of SX1302 radio configuration (3.2.10)
- FUOTA feature (3.2.10):
* Add check of odd Frag Number to prevent starting a FUOTA
* Add check of start date to prevent starting a FUOTA
* Add check of configuration consistency to prevent starting FUOTA
- Disable modem information table in overview (3.2.10)
- Disable spectrum menu as it is not supported (3.2.10)
- Enrich displaying of job in progress with synthetic view (3.2.10)
- Remove support of duty cycle for US915 and AU915 regions (3.2.10)
Main restrictions:
Some residual cases of downlinks stucked in Class C.
