Windows Release Note
Windows Release Note
1. Added the Tools page to the Site view, containing the following tools. New firmware
updates for Omada devices are required and will be released later.
Network Check. Select an Omada device (EAP or Switch) and perform a ping or
traceroute test to check the network connectivity.
Packet Capture. Select an Omada EAP, set the capture filter, and perform a packet
capture for troubleshooting.
Terminal. Select an Omada device (EAP or Switch), open Terminal, and then you can
execute CLI or Shell commands.
2. Added support to download device info, which helps to confirm the operational status of
Omada devices and to perform troubleshooting. New firmware updates for Omada devices
are required to obtain complete information. You can download a device's info by opening
its Properties window, going to Config --> Manage Device, and clicking Download.
3. Added support for the following IPv6 features, all of which require firmware updates for
Omada devices:
Display the IPv6 addresses of clients reported by Omada EAPs and Switches.
4. Added the CLI Configuration, which can currently be used to supplement the switch's
configuration and requires the firmware upgrade for Omada Switches to be released later.
Please refer to FAQ#3569 for the precautions and instructions of the CLI Configuration.
5. Added the "Lock To AP" feature. Open a client's Properties window, go to Config, enable the
function, and select one or multiple EAPs, then the client will be locked to the selected EAPs.
This feature helps prevent a static client from roaming frequently between multiple EAPs.
6. Added the "SSID Rate Limit" feature. Bandwidth is shared among all clients connected to
the same wireless band of the same EAP. This feature requires new firmware updates for
Omada EAP, and the rate limit settings will only take effect on those EAPs running firmware
that supports the feature.
7. Added support to display the username used by the wireless client for WPA-Enterprise
authentication in the 802.1X Authentication column of the Clients page.
8. Provided more flexible settings of the external ports in Port Forwarding. If your Omada
controller and Omada devices are not on the same LAN, you need to configure Port
Forwarding on the router. For Omada Controller version 5.8 and earlier, the external and
internal ports of the port forwarding entry must be 29810-29814. From version 5.9, the
external and internal ports of the port forwarding entries can be different, for example, you
can configure external ports 59810-59814 to forward to internal ports 29810-29814.
9. Added LLDP support for Omada EAPs, which can be enabled via Site Settings. New firmware
updates for Omada EAPs are required.
10. Optimized the network topology by introducing LLDP information from Omada Switches.
New firmware updates for Omada Switches are required.
11. Added support to display the status of WAN online detection. This requires new firmware
updates for Omada Gateway.
3. Bug Fixed
