I would disagree. We have P8 hardware on our network with 12.1 firmware installed on them.

I seem to have a few of these floating around the network as Backhaul and SM gear, did they cap those at 7.3.6? Seems that the SM's are fine to upgrade but the backhaul's will have no part in it. I'm really just trying to standardize interfaces that our techs see since there were very slight changes in the 8-9.x series, but would gladly take any performance/stability increase. Things are well under way, with the exception of those few p8's hanging around! Thanks for all the input so far! Mark Spring Systems Analyst New Knoxville Telephone Company 301 W.

However if the radio is deployed in a production environment then it's best to follow the path cambium has laid out so that settings stick through the upgrade process. 2 cents YMMV Sean On Saturday, March 15, 2014, David Williamson <dwilliam...@customcomputersva.com> wrote: Do you have to follow that path or can you just skip up and flash to 12.1?

The upgrade path the technician gave me was this: 7.3.6 -> 8.2.7 –> 9.0 –> 9.4.2 –> 9.5 –> 10.3.2 –> 10.5 –> 11.0..1 -> 11.2 -> 12.1 They also indicated that there were timing changes in 10.x and that causes some issues with older firmware. They highly recommend to run the 12.1 firmware whenever possible. We are using 12.1 without any issues so far in a couple different cells. <http://broadbandnetworks.com/_images/signature.png> Adam Kennedy | Network Engineer Watch Communications PO Box 8 | Rushville, Indiana | 46173 866-586-1518 adamkenn...@omnicity.net www.broadbandnetworks.com <http://www.broadbandnetworks.com/> From: Mark Spring <m...@nktelco.net> Reply-To: WISPA General List <wireless@wispa.org> Date: Tuesday, March 11, 2014 at 1:54 PM To: WISPA General List <wireless@wispa.org> Subject: Re: [WISPA] PMP100 Software Revisions I have been using: 8.1.5.1 -> 8.2.7 -> 9.0 -> 9.5 -> 10.3.2 -> 10.5 -> 11.2 there seems to be some debate online about which path to use and this is the one I elected to go with, right or wrong. We were stopping at 11.0.1 but I have 11.2 which I assume is going to provide some benefit. Anyways, I'm just going to try to even the playing field in the direction that I have been heading but I may have to escalate this project in order to maintain a good level of service. Open to suggestion as this unfolds, thanks for your input! _______________________________________________ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless
