Sully there working on checking the problem I believe I saw, remember it's a beta so it is going to be bug ridden hence why they said not to mass deploy it.
I take it they had a feeling problems like this were going to arise that's probably why it was released as a beta with all the warnings because it was a rush beta to get the kinks out in the field because really in design testing can only show 1/100th of the possible problems that can occur in software especially firmware for hardware.

I see you are responding to some posts...and I have never known sB to
NOT monitor this forum 24x7. So...where is your response to our
problems with this firmware??
Please....we have been patient on this issue...but at least let us know
that you acknowledge the problem we are having and are working hard (as
usual) to fix it.
Loyal sB user!
Sully

Repost due to ZERO response from sB on this issue.
Why is this firmware not allowing association to some aPPo's???

Subject: [smartBridges] New Firmware not working for me
Importance: High
Here in my lab, I have a suspected bad unit. I upgraded the firmware,
and it will NOT reassociate with the intended aPPo. I switched the
SSID/Freq to my other aPPo and it associated right up. I did this about
5 times both ways. Every time it was the same. I downgraded the
firmware back to (0.01.04) and it associated right up with the intended
aPPo. Upgraded again and it lost association.
I have confirmed that there are ABSOLUTELY no differences in the
settings of my two aPPos except for this:
- Different SSIDs
- Different freq's
- One is new aPPo with short pigtail, one is older aPPo with hardwired
CAT5
The unit that I can not associate to is the older unit. None of the
older sB equipment is having any problems. Everything is on the older
firmware as well:
aPPo = 1.4j.5
airBridge indoors = 0.01.04 (tried upgrading to 0.01.06)
Of the 17 I installed in the last 2 weeks, three are experiencing the
"lost association" problem. I replaced all 3 units (including POE
units) and all 3 are still having problems. That is VERY odd. Although
I did receive all these units (30) at the same time (almost all
consecutive MAC addresses).
Still doesn't explain why only these 3 are having problems and none of
the other 14. I wouldn't think it was too odd if it weren't for the
fact that I R&R'd all 3 units and they are still losing association,
whereas all the other 14 new clients are humming right along.
I really think there is something more to this.
No...it is not frequency or multipath or whatever. I have sniffed out
the entire area. They are clean and very good RSSI/LQ.
All 17 of these installs are within a half mile of the aPPo and clear
LOS.

Subject: RE: [smartBridges] Anyone having issues with the new firmware?
1. Older aPPo (about 3 months old..older type unit with hardwired CAT5)
running 1.4j.5 firmware.
2. Client airBridge indoor units are running older firmware as well
0.01.04.
3. SSID is only 3 characters long
4. Preupgrade RSSI and LQ was in the 90's for both (when associated of
course).
I am wondering if I need the newer firmware on all devices first of all,
then load the BETA firmware on the suspect devices????
I had held off on the last round of firmware upgrades due to others
experiencing problems. I am about to try another upgrade here in my lab
with one bad unit. Will keep you posted!

Mike and Sully. What FW are you running on the AP that the upgraded
units
will not associate with? What was your pre-upgrade RSSI and LQ? What is
the
length of the ESSID on the AP that the units will not associate with?
Mike, are there anyother differences between the APs that the upgraded
units
will assoiate with and the APs they will not associate with?

I tried to upgrade one of 3 freezing units and it would not associate
with
the AP. This is the only AP within range of all 3 units, so I dont know
what to do at this point.
I had to downgrade back to old firmware to reassociate.

Update,
I have 7 AP's running the same firmware. For some reason upgrading the
firmware on the AirBriges kills their ability to associate with two of
seven
AP's. I can associate with any of the other five and all seems to be
working well.
Not sure why yet.

Sam,
It either works or it dosen't.....Sounds funny but, what I mean is that
the
upgrade seems to resolve the heat issue. Though I haven't had any real
heat
the last couple days. The bad side is that it seems to kill my ability
to
associate with some of my AP's.

Has anyone installed the new firmware? I'm getting ready to try, but
wanted
to check first to see what sort of luck others have had.
Thanks
