1 IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THIS BETA UPGRADE Your radio must be running Build or higher before applying Build The latest version of TRUMP Version fw (Tranzeo s Upgrade Program) will update your radios automatically up to the most current build. Starting with 5.0.2, we now recommend using TRUMP to upgrade instead of the HTTP interface, except for beta versions. TRUMP can be used in Routed or Bridged networks. You need to download and install the latest version of TRUMP in order to be able to upgrade to build using TRUMP. Please refer to the next section for details on how to upgrade TRUMP. Warning: Before applying any versions of firmware please read and understand this entire document. If you encounter problems with the new firmware you can seek help from the Support Team. You should only perform a firmware upgrade during support hours (8 am to 5 pm PST, Monday to Friday) in case you need emergency assistance. If you have any questions, please call or us before starting the upgrade process. It is advised that network administrators document their configuration before proceeding with the update, and manually re-enter the information after the upgrade, if required. Important: Firmware may become unusable if inappropriately applied or the connection is broken during the upgrade. Ensure no interruptions during the upgrade. If the connection is broken or the power goes off during an upgrade, the unit may become inoperative! Page 1 of

3 Upgrading using TRUMP New version of TRUMP has been released to support Tranzeo WiFi radio product binaries up to and including version TRUMP is Tranzeo s Remote Upgrade Management Program, which can allow you to locate and mass upgrade your network from a single tool. NOTE: It is recommended that you uninstall any previous versions of TRUMP before upgrading to TRUMP Version fw For XP users, you MUST uninstall before attempting to install the new TRUM. You also should delete the C:\Program Files\Tranzeo\Trump folder manually. This is to ensure that the new settings are correctly applied. Please consult the Install Guide for TRUMP fw pdf file for step-by-step installation/uninstall instructions, and on how to use it to upgrade your radios. CHANGES IN TRUMP FW Added released version binaries for TR-CPQ, TR-SL2, TR-SL5, TR-SL9, TR-6, TR-5a, TR- FDD, TR-4.9, TR-Multi, and TR-90X for Hardware 2, 3, and 3A. KNOWN ISSUES TR6000/TR5a and TR-49 models running firmware < will need to upgrade to first, and then to Need to uninstall previously installed versions of Trump prior to installing this release Need to manually delete C:\Program Files\Tranzeo\Trump folder after uninstall to ensure new changes are used. Installing on a system with ActivePERL can lead to TrLocator /TRUMP scan failures, especially when using remote desktop to access the machine running TRUMP. Workaround: Uninstall ActivePERL. You can download the latest version of TRUMP from the Tranzeo Support Website. Victor 2.5 The Tranzeo Victor Program is a utility that allows users to locate and quickly change the IP address of Tranzeo radios. It sends out a broadcast on the network and displays a list of all Tranzeo radios and their corresponding IP addresses. This program replaces the Tranzeo Locator. Victor 2.5 is the latest release. You can download the latest version of Victor from the Tranzeo Support Website. Page 3 of

4 Manually upgrading the firmware using the HTTP interface 1. Log into the radio and go to the Administrative Settings page. 2. Click Browse to browse to the location of the upgrade file, using the firmware listed in the firmware table. Don t worry, you will get an error if you select the wrong one but you won t kill your radio. Then click the upgrade software button to apply the firmware. The radio will upgrade the firmware and then reboot. All the LEDs including the Power LED will go blank during the upgrade for up to 30 seconds. This is normal. 3. Your Radio is now upgraded and will continue to pass traffic after it reboots. Page 4 of

5 Previous Firmware Release Notes CHANGES IN UI & New Features Added: Tweak - Changed order of Network Configuration Tab in Router Mode to move Static Routes tab to appear after Advanced Fix List 5.8 channels for India in Ascending Numerical order Workaround - Added an option to not attempt a re-association in response to null timestamps from Third Party AP's stuck beacons. New-Added buttons to quickly change NAT timeout parameters to Aggressive or Conservative Tweak - Added validation on web port to only allow numerical values. New- Added the ability to ignore Locator Protocol probes, used by Victor and old Locator Program, as GUI option. New -Added the ability to block Locator Protocol reset as GUI option New-Allow user to block locator reset in config file 3: deny reset and change IP using locator 2: deny reset only 1: deny reset change IP only 0: allow reset and change IP New- Added these new block options to import/export configuration file system: o Disable reverse DHCP block option for bridge mode and FDD in the file Fix - Enable the 5.8GHz LED in AP mode for channels 146, 147, 148 Tweak - Added writing of the card type to exported configuration file for the benefit of the Tranzeo Tech Support team Tweak - Speed up 5.8 association time. Previously, when the CPE is initially hunting for an AP, it could in some circumstance exceed the minimum required time period for Radar scanning on the part of a station when not associated. As there are a significant number of DFS channels to scan through, this could result in a cumulative delay in association that in some cases would become noticeable. The CPE will still react to radar after the link is operational on a DFS enabled channel. Enhancement Added new packet filter rules. The rules are applied in the following order if enabled. 1. Block DHCP (existing) 1.1 deny incoming UDP/TCP packets which of destination port is 67 on WAN interface 1.2 deny incoming UDP/TCP packets which of destination port is 68 on WAN interface 2. Block IGMP (new) 2.1 deny outgoing IP packets which of protocol is 2 on WAN interface Page 5 of

6 3. Block Locator Probes (new) 3.1 allow outgoing packets which of source MAC address is itself on WAN interface (allow the device itself probed) 3.2 deny outgoing UDP/TCP packets which of destination port is on WAN interface 4. Block multicast (new) 4.1 allow outgoing broadcast packets on WAN interface 4.2 deny outgoing multicast packets on WAN interface Enhancement - Added Brazil domain to DHS with channel compliant to Ansatel rules. Enhancement - Added MHz band for Licensed use in Peru Enhancement - Added AP and PxP functionality for SL2 series with HW3 only Enhancement Now, in addition to the Redundant File systems for Device Firmware and Device settings, we have added Redundant EEPROM backup and recovery to protect against an unlikely but theoretically possible case where the EEPROM contents could be lost on 2B type cards. Enhancement - Added 5.8GHz band to Malaysia and increase band to 5925MHz New Added support for new card types (4J, 4K, 6D, 6E, 6F) New Added support for H5 (OEM) Bug Fixes: Fixed leftover '>' character when a station is dropped from the AP station list Fixed issue with antenna gain being cleared in rare cases on units with built in antennas, resulting in a cosmetic issue. CHANGES IN UI: Changed Frames over 1518 and less than 2048 bytes to Frames over 1544 and less than 2048 bytes on Ethernet statistic page Bug Fixes: [902] Fixed power cap per modulation bug introduced in CHANGES IN New Features: Amended 5.8GHz band for India CHANGES IN Page 6 of

7 UI: [1158] Changed label Enable VLAN to Enable MGMT VLAN on network advanced page New Features Added: Amended 900MHz band for Brazil. Based on customer request, added an option to make the web port changeable in bridge mode. Added support for 4I Cards. Bug Fixes: Optimized code to fix memory leak in TCP module, which caused a hard lock-up when accessing web port with DDOS type requests (attempting thousands of simultaneous logins). This behavior was triggered by bugs in some monitoring software. While the issue was extremely rare, it is recommended that all user upgrade to eliminate any chance of this issue. Optimized code to fix a small memory leak in Web Server module, which caused system crash and hard lock-up when accessing web port with DDOS type requests. This issue was found when investigating the above issue. There were no field reports of this issue. Fixed WPA group key update issue which caused CPE's decryption failure for broadcast packets. Removed debug output on dongle console (not visible to customer). [1424] Power LED does not turn back on until power cycle when re-enabling signal LEDs. MIBS: The following private Tranzeo MIB s were added:.iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.tranzeo.stationstat.stnnumber (number of associated stations).iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.tranzeo.assocstation.stnipaddr (associated station IP).iso.org.dod.internet.private.enterprises.tranzeo.assocStation.stnMacAddr (associated station Mac address) Please refer to the updated MIB V0.6 for more details. You can download the latest MIB from the Tranzeo Support Website. CHANGES IN UI: Fixed menu border color (IE7 does not support 'grey', must be 'gray') Enable auto scroll for TABs frame so that it can be displayed for small screen (IPOD) Page 7 of

8 FDD Specific Changes [1178] Enable VLAN setting on Network Advanced page NAT MODE CHANGES [1245] New Feature. NAT Connections Timeouts changed to more aggressive values on the CPQ/SL2 series Previous Type New 60 ICMP UDP TCP SHORT TCP LONG TCP Reset others 10 NAT MODE CHANGES Added the ability to alter the NAT Connections Timeout values to Network Configuration, Advanced Tab. Please note that this option only appears if radio is in Router mode. CHANGES IN NO USER CHANGES was created solely to facilitate changes on Tranzeo s Production Line. There are no feature differences between and CHANGES IN UI CHANGES: Split configuration into Basic and Advanced tabs on the following pages: o Wireless Settings o Administrative Settings o Encryption o Statistics o Network Configuration Disabled option WPA Update Interval in CPE mode since it is AP controlled option Interface now removes trailing spaces at the end of SSID automatically; when saving an SSID, and when clicking on an AP with a trailing SSID on AP List o Upgrade will not automatically change SSID containing trailing spaces, but any configuration applied at firmware 5.0+ will remove trailing SSID. o Removes trailing spaces when importing configuration settings Added IP address hyperlink on AP's Stations List page to open CPE s HTTP Interface in new tab Updated System Performance page to prevent memory leak in IE7 and Firefox 3.5 browser. Leak occurred on client PC, not in radio. Wireless Performance page now refreshes the RSSI value Page 8 of

9 Added pop up message box informing user of "Re-associate on new IP" feature may not be compatible with non-tranzeo AP's when in DHCP client mode Added Numbers to the WEP Key boxes Now display system uptime on Information page. o PxP mode has additional link uptime. Note: FDD may be off up to 6 seconds due to polling HTTP Interface now prevents from being set as the default route. This prevented the DHCP gateway option from being set in DHCP client mode in firmware Changed Network mode drop down box to be compatible with Chrome browser Fixed ARP Table page to clear IP address column when last page isn't completely filled Combined Configuration page for bridge/router mode NEW FUNCTIONS ADDED: Added feature to block DHCP servers behind bridged CPEs from serving other clients on the AP Added configuration settings to autoconfig function: o net.reverse_dhcp_block (new) o net.shaping_rate (new) o net.shaping_policy (new) o net.router.qos.uplink_speed (value range changed) o net.shaping_policy (new) Implemented a TCP throughput test, requires throughput.exe, a Windows Command line tool. o TCP server mode enabled all the time and supports wireless or wired upstream and downstream. Usage: TCP input test (sending data IN to device) throughput.exe -i -r [seconds] [ip_of_radio] TCP output test {receiving data OUT of device) throughput.exe -o -r [seconds] [ip_of_radio] Added a basic traffic shaping feature to shape traffic transmitted from the device: o Enabled by default with unlimited default value Works in Bridge mode, but doesn't have the QoS classification feature o Router mode still has the QoS classification feature o Shaping applies to aggregate throughput, so for an AP, a setting of kbps would be shared amongst all CPEs, not per CPE o Added ability to set numerical traffic limit instead of fixed rates o QoS enabled AP will not have Shaping enabled on upgrade, but QoS enabled CPE in router mode will be converted to numerical traffic limit and remain enabled Firmware now returns the firmware version in Victor response Added IP address hyperlink on AP's Stations List page to open CPE in new tab Enabled 1/4 and 1/2 channel support for card type 6C Radio now checks before process files in case users accidently tries to import a firmware image instead of settings file Display system uptime on Information page. o PxP mode displays additional value of Link Uptime. Note: FDD may be off up to 6 seconds due to polling MODELS SPECIFIC ENHANCEMENTS: [FDD] Added slave board status and added client stats MODELS SPECIFIC BUG FIXES: [FDD] Fixed MAC address validation in pxp MAC address fields Page 9 of
