Re: [AFMUG] ePMP Force 200

[George Skorup]

All of the Force200's we have used came with 2.6-RC13 I believe. We just 
got some more in the other day so now I'm wondering what's on them.

The ePMP 2000's that we just got came with RC firmware, but that I 
don't have a problem with since it's a new product and they obviously 
wanted to get them out there as quick as they could... and they 
require 3.0, which hasn't been released yet.

For that matter, the whole “release candidate” designation is
confusing.  Is that like “presumptive nominee”?  It’s either
released, or it’s beta.

Same here, we always update to the current stable firmware and
load a template on every radio before it leaves the office. It's
odd they're shipping these with an RC though... one of our guys
asked me yesterday if he needed to update one to 2.6.2 since it
was already 2.6.2RC.

Just upgrade the firmware to 2.62 even though it’s a

If they make a dish that looks like a UBNT radio why would they not ship
with Beta firmware like UBNT? Seems Normal to me..

Seems like a questionable practice shipping product with beta firmware, unless 
the product itself is still in beta.

For that matter, the whole “release candidate” designation is confusing.  Is 
that like “presumptive nominee”?  It’s either released, or it’s beta.
