Resolved issues
| ID | Summary |
|---|---|
| RDTP-22126 | DESC : Wlogger may not display fine timestamp for all base stations. FIX : The network server correctly reports the full timestamp information to ThingPark backend. |
| RDTP-22391 | DESC : Subscriber may observe that base station firmware update was not functional. FIX : lrrfwfetch is now running by defaut even after soft update. |
| RDTP-22540 | DESC : NwkKey field missing in GUI when provisionning LoRaWAN 1.1 devices in case of single ISM band defined for the TPE subscription. FIX : Add NwkKey field for LoRaWAN 1.1 devices provisioning in GUI. |
| RDTP-22507 | DESC : During the provisioning of Basics Station gateways on GUI, LRR-UUID field adds a space on prefix. FIX : Remove space from default prefix. |
| 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-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. |
Release 7.3.3
New features
Other technical improvements
N/A.
Resolved issues
| ID | Summary |
|---|---|
| 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-21695 | DESC : Incorrect documentation link on new device import page. FIX : Link is redirected to the correct place. |
| 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-21748 | DESC : Login error when the first one-time code is not entered quickly enough. FIX : The Login action timeout is now set to 30 min. |
| 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. |

| RDTP-21163 | DESC : “Signal strength and noise” and “duty cycle” drop down list are not readable. FIX : Width has been increased to allow readability. |
| RDTP-21567 | DESC : DX-API documentation is unclear about BS provisioning. FIX : Rfregion parameter in BS provisioning is now correctly described as an object in DX documentation. |
| RDTP-21565 | DESC : Wireless logger takes too much time to reload. FIX : Packet type filtering has been enhanced. |
