Descrizione
This release focuses primarily on improving data rates and node manageability. The following changes have been made from our previous, v3.15.1.0, production release:
Data Rate Increase
– 802.11n has been added to the RF protocol. This improves the maximum data rate capability from 54 Mbps to 130 Mbps and allows AREDN nodes to take advantage of the Ubiquiti MIMO (concurrent data channels in both the vertical and horizontal polarization domains), although proportional data rate increases can also be achieved on non-MIMO devices
New Device Support
– Added support for the Ubiquiti AirRouter and AirRouter HP. These are desktop devices with an embedded a 5-port Ethernet switch we have preconfigured for WAN, LAN (ports 1-3) and DtD (port 4)
Upgradability
– The distance parameter entry is now mandatory during initial node setup. Its value can now be entered in either Kilometers or Miles. Testing has proven that data throughput is highly responsive to correctly setting this parameter
– Increased the upload-timeout for pushing firmware upgrades to remote nodes over marginal paths
– Added the ability for packages, such as iPerf, to open firewalls ports at the time of installation
Node/Network Manageability
– Added transmit data throughput values (TxMbps) for Current Neighbors on the Mesh Status screen
– Added a user-specified time zone and NTP server on the Setup page
– Completely rewrote the graphical reporting of SNR to show real-time and 2-day trends for each neighbor
– Added map-based LAT/LON location assistance for nodes with access to the Internet (directly or via a mesh gateway).
– Also added optional LAT/LON “push” to a centralized server which allows users to self-publish their nodes to a public AREDN map
– Added a disclosure statement in the help file on what gets uploaded with the LAT/LON “push” and how it will be used in publishing the public AREDN map
– WIFI Scans are now sortable by column
– Updated the Help page
Running other programs on a node
It has become popular to run an assortment of other programs on a node. And with no need to stand-up an outboard computer, it is a tempting proposition. However, more and more we are seeing nodes run out of memory (most Ubiquiti devices have 32MB RAM, the Rocket has 64MB), particularly by a combination of tunnel services and MeshChat. When this occurs, the node will automatically kill one or more processes. Depending on what it elects to kill, the device may run erratically or reboot. When tunnel services are installed and configured, the AREDN team encourages the use of RPi or other outboard computer for MeshChat.
Before flashing a Ubiquiti device that is running or has been running AirOS version 5.6, please run the AREDN U-Boot Test program below before attempting a firmware load or upgrade.
NOTA:
– Use this “factory” file when loading from AirOS or TFTP
Download and run the AREDN U-Boot Test Setup Program. If the test results in a “GOOD/GOOD” result, then you may proceed to load the appropriate AREDN firmware onto it.
If the test results are “BAD,” then you should do the following:
– Backup your device partitions using the AREDN U-Boot Test program.
– Use the AirOS GUI to downgrade to AirOS v5.5.x.
– Re-run the AREDN U-Boot Test program and look for a “GOOD/GOOD” test.
– If “GOOD/GOOD”, you can safely use the AirOS GUI to install the AREDN firmware.
