Resolved issues
| ID | Summary |
|---|---|
| RDTP-22695 | DESC : Some Private keys could be detected as invalid in Cockpit GUI. FIX : Enhancement of the Cockpit private key validation pattern. |
| RDTP-22625 | DESC : ISO image default IP address (192.168.10.10) is in conflict with the internal subnets. FIX : Default IP address updated to 10.255.255.10. |
| RDTP-22269 | DESC : Cockpit certificate is self-signed. FIX : Ability to customize the cockpit UI certificate (or keep a self signed if needed). |

| RDTP-22302 | DESC : Missing logos on device manufacturer list when trying to provision a device. FIX : Implement image loading on the fly to avoid triggering rate limiter mechanisms. |
| RDTP-22210 | DESC : Iot-Flow & Drivers tab on TPE portal can’t be accessed by the viewer and Devices, multicast groups and connections manager roles. FIX : Allow these roles to access this part of tab. |
| RDTP-22176 | DESC : Upgrading Cisco IXM returns an error. FIX : Increase upgrade timeout from 10mn to 20mn. |
| RDTP-22152 | DESC : DX Core API return baseStationRef field value with “i” as prefix. FIX : Explain and detail this behavior in swagger documentation. |
| RDTP-22098 | DESC : Motion Indicator tooltip is misleading in device creation form. FIX : Modify this tooltip with complete explanation. |
| RDTP-22028 | DESC : Folding the device or base Station list (on map view of the GUI) gets unfolded when clicking “Search this area“. FIX : Modify this behavior by keeping those lists hidden. |
| RDTP-22025 | DESC : On base station creation form on GUI, the title of the security section should not be displayed if empty . FIX : Hide the title when content is empty. |
| RDTP-21937 | DESC : In TPE portal, errors should be more explicit ( instead of just “error” ). FIX : Detail the error according to http error code returned. |
| RDTP-22433 | DESC : Base stations certificate regenerate button should not be present in viewer mode. FIX : Regenerate button is no more available when user is associated to viewer rights. |
| RDTP-22199 | DESC : Device mass import fails when we reach at least 130 errors. FIX : Allow to modify the maximum allowed errors before aborting, to avoid mass import failure. |
| RDTP-21975 | DESC : LRC does not reply to MAC command (such as DeviceTimeReq) when the UL is repeated by the device. FIX : The LRC network server answers the device-initiated MAC commands even when the UL packet has been repeated by the device. |
| RDTP-16487 | DESC : The LRC doesn't send the PingSlotChannelReq MAC command when there is no default PingSlot information defined in the device profile. FIX : The LRC detects when PingSlot is undefined and sends the MAC command to configure the device. |
Known issues and limitations
| ID | Summary |
|---|---|
| RDTP-22788 | DESC : The TPE 7.3.3 iso (almalinux 8 ) USB install fails when Rufus, UNetbootin, dd ,… are used to create the bootable USB key. Please use YUMI instead. |
| RDTP-21977 | [LoRaWAN relays] When a downlink packet cannot be sent for an end-device via a relay because of the maximum payload size constraint, there is currently no delivery failure indication reported to AS nor visible in Wireless Logger at end-device level. This issue shall be fixed in the next maintenance release. |

New features
Other technical improvements
| ID | Summary |
|---|---|
| N/A | Upgrade of Iot Flow to version 1.7.16a, checkout the IoT Flow release notes. |
Resolved issues
| ID | Summary |
|---|---|
| RDTP-22259 | DESC : Security vulnerability on logout redirect. FIX : Force the redirection to the login page after a logout. |
| RDTP-22255 | DESC : Base Station RFScan are not available in Spectrum Analysis tool. FIX : Fix the RfScan upload issue on FTP server. |
| RDTP-22165 | DESC : Timeout when loading many data in Network Survey tool. FIX : Global timeout increased to match the requirements. |
| RDTP-22052 | DESC : "Internal error" messages are raised after API request authentication issues. FIX : Error messages are more explicit. |
| RDTP-22029 | DESC : Error on LRR upgrade with a local media repository. FIX : LRR upgrade with a local media repository is possible again. |
| RDTP-21965 | DESC : [Cockpit administration GUI] Repositories configuration could be missleading. FIX : Clarification, renaming and tooltips rework. |
| RDTP-21961 | DESC : Could not deploy a XS platform in the cloud caused by disk sizing. FIX : Enhancement on the disk partitioning. |
| RDTP-21952 | DESC : Root CA crl is regenarated every 10 minutes. FIX : crl regenration is less agressive. |
| RDTP-21785 | DESC : The user guide link on the “Importing devices from CSV file” page is not correct. FIX : The link is aligned to online resource. |
| RDTP-21758 | DESC : HSTS proxy configuration is not enforced. FIX : Proxy configuration updated. |
| RDTP-21759 | DESC : Weak ciphers are still supported leading to potential vulnerabilities. FIX : Review of the ciphers list for HTTP and HA proxies only (No change for sLRC and LRR). |
| RDTP-21714 | DESC : The Base stations are not displayed on the map. FIX : Default map location is now mandatory in cockpit configuration for all providers. |
| RDTP-21706 | DESC : Some cookies have the secure flag missing. FIX : Cookies secure flags are automatically set (by the http proxy). |
| RDTP-21950 | DESC : With standalone deployments, docker daemon could take time to be ready. FIX : In standalone, base images are prefixed with registry1.actility.local:5000/. |
| RDTP-21747 / RDTP-21482 | DESC : In TPE GUI, the “Network server” widget (under the backhaul statistics tab of the Base Station details) does not work when a base station uses TLS. FIX : Adapt the identification mechanism of the master vs. backup network server nodes to the TLS mode. |
| RDTP-21359 | DESC : On multicast downlink, WLogger should display the effective transmission timestamp by the BS, not the LRC timestamp. FIX : LRC behavior is fixed to report the correct LRR time/date of the downlink multicast packets to Wireless Logger and AS. |
| RDTP-21939 | DESC : During the device creation, the enforcement of DevEUI unicity does not properly handle lower case. FIX : Lower case is now treated as upper case to ensure full enforcement of DevEUI unicity. |
| RDTP-21841 | DESC : In TPE GUI, the BS antenna name is wrongly displayed with the label “RF antenna ID”. FIX : The label "RF antenna ID" is renamed “Antenna name“. |
| RDTP-21756 | DESC : During the device creation by QR code, the device model cannot be identified after scanning a QR code. FIX : Fix the bug, which was a side effect of having multiple ISM bands associated with the same model. |
| RDTP-21700 | DESC : BS Radio Traffic History graph shows inconsistent packet counts. FIX : Aggregation data algorithm has been reworked. |
| RDTP-20838 | DESC : The GUI error displayed when adding an already-claimed OTA device using the "External Join Server" mode is not clear. FIX : The error message is enhanced to simplify troubleshoot. The new error is "Claim failed: the DevEUI xxxxxxxx is already claimed". |
| RDTP-14992 | DESC : Base station health state is not updated in real-time. FIX : By default, base station is set to “Active“ state as soon as it receives an uplink frame or successfully sends an OSS report to the system. |
| RDTP-21650 | DESC : Basics Station does not work with RF Regions activating LBT, such as K920. FIX : Update the Basics Station configuration sent by the LNS to properly set the LBT carrier sensing level when LBT is activated . |
| RDTP-21774 | DESC : [LoRaWAN Relays] Missing delivery failure cause when the Join Accept fails. FIX : The right DeliveryFailedCause4 (for RXR slot) is now displayed in Wireless Logger in case of Join Accept transmission failure. |
| RDTP-21646 | DESC : [LoRaWAN Relays] Relays provisioned in class C mode don't operate properly . FIX : A relay may be provisioned as a class C device and may operate in class C like any conventional device. However, to comply with LoRaWAN Relay specifications, encapsulated DL frames (using Fport 226) only use RX1/RX2 of class A mode, not the extended RX2 slot of class C mode. |
| RDTP-21645 | DESC : [LoRaWAN Relays] Duplicate uplink frames sent by the relay are visible in WLogger. FIX : Repeated uplink frames sent by relays on FPort 226 are deduplicated by the network server, so they are displayed only once in WLogger. |
| RDTP-21166 | DESC : [LoRaWAN Relays] The max DL payload size is not properly enforced when the end-device is served via a relay . FIX : For each DL packet sent to the end-device via a relay, the DL max payload size correctly accounts for the constraints on both radio links: network -> relay and relay -> end-device. Hence, the transmission of a DL packet is rejected if at least one of the two links does not fulfill the max payload size (or dwell time) constraints. See the related limitation in the following section. |
Known issues and limitations
| ID | Summary |
|---|---|
| RDTP-19339 | DESC : TPE instances running version 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 cannot be directly upgraded to version 7.3. A intermediate upgrade to release 7.2 is mandatory. |
