Good plan. As is the -2.5 button.

How about a flag that tell that SM that when it is rebooted, it should first try to connect with the AP it was connected to prior to reboot, and to initiate the scan only if that fails? Or do you need a button that says "turn off all 2.5 center frequencies"? Not promising to make any enhancements as we try to make a bugfix release for the 13.2 issues, but definitely looking for feedback on the best way(s) to reduce the scan time.

I remembered this happening on the first release that introduced the 2.5 frequencies but looking at some older SMs, I guess that’s not true. If you’re taking this “feature” out, I hope you’re giving us an easy way to accomplish the same thing.

If you have not modified your scan list on the SM and it is still at the factory default setting, and you upgrade to 13.2, the 2.5MHz center frequencies will be deselected after the upgrade. This will happen with 2.4Hz, 5.4GHz and 5.7GHz. If the AP is configured to use the 2.5Mhz center frequency, the SMs will not reconnect. This issue was present on all the open beta builds. If your sector is using 2.5 center frequency and the SMs have the default scan list, DO NOT use 13.2. You can change the SM scan list to be something non-default, but we are working on releasing a fix for this urgently, so it may be easier to wait for that.

I have some more 2.4's coming next week and I'll see what they do when upgraded to 13.2. My guess is they are coming with 12.2.2 from the factory at this point though.

We didn’t want to add a ton of new scan options on an upgrade which increased the scanning time. When setting a unit that is on a load that supports 2.5M centers to default, then all (including 2.5 centers) should be selected. We are still investigating, but likely this has something to do with what Ryan was seeing when others weren’t seeing the same behavior. -Aaron From: Af [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of George Skorup (Cyber Broadcasting) via Af Sent: Friday, November 14, 2014 12:58 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [AFMUG] System Release 13.2 is Official I'm trying to remember.. did the 2.4 450 have 2.5 centers from day one? I think the last time I got some new SMs in, they had either 12.0.x or 12.1.x on them and none of the 2.5 centers were checked after updating to 13.x. So maybe the safest approach from now on is to enable everything in the scan list automatically during/after update? Then tell everyone in the release notes about it. You'd be surprised at how many of us fully read the release notes now. OK, at least I do.

Now that this is here, we’re hard at work on delivering the next round of enhancements (code name 13.3 (pretty original, huh?)) which are right around the corner. The momentum is building on the PMP 450 platform. Thanks again, Matt
