Schedule BSP upgrade status Bulk Firmware Upgrade Gateway BSP Upgrade
-
Read BSP upgrade status Bulk Firmware Upgrade
-
-
ADR algorithm improvement
The default settings and behavior of devices under the control of the ADR algorithm will not be changed but the following new options are now available:
One option is the selection of a more conservative ADR slope that will require the device to have higher average SNR of its uplinks before increasing its data rate. In general, device using this option will move away from DR0 at a slightly lower average SNR and each increase in data rate will require slightly more average SNR to have been observed.
The second option allows for more configurability in the control of NbTrans; it is now possible to specify a range of NbTrans for each data rate that a device can operate at.
As mentioned above, no changes to device configuration or performance will occur as a result of the network server upgrade. These new options will become available for use by operators.
IMPORTANT ADR changes :
-
Manual setup of bTrans Min and NbTrans Max will be deprecated ADR Configurations
-
API has non back-compatible change: ADR algorithm improvement
-
-
Usage Statistics. New features are available via REST API and allow to get the following data:
- Number of Integration API calls for UL and DL
- Traffic volume of Integration API calls for UL and DL
- Max number of onboarded Devices during report period
- Max number of onboarded Gateways during report period
-
Bug-Fixes
-
Usage Statistics. Feature is available via REST API and allows to get the following data:
- Number of active devices, during reporting period
- Number of active gateways, during reporting period
- Number of provisioned devices and gateways, during reporting period
-
Brute force attack protection for log-in.
- 10 seconds timeout will be imposed after each login attempt
-
Bug-Fixes
-
Default security settings update: By default, use of TLS will be required for new gateways connecting over MQTT. New gateways should be configured to use port 8883, rather than 1883. No change is required for gateways provisioned prior to the 2.6.13 release. To continue to allow unencrypted connections, the default setting can be changed in the UI or via API by setting
"isAllowNotTlsConnection": true
(false by default). -
frmPayload
field (always decrypted FRMPayload in Base64) is removed from Payload Metadata in Custom v2 Decoder. Decryption is managed only by Send App Payload Encrypted setting and payload is returned asinput.bytes
. Custom v1 Decoder does not contain FRMPayload field and not impacted. -
Extended Description field length in Alarms messages.
-
Performance optimization
-
Bug-Fixes

Gateway Log API change:
DEVICE_ACTIVITY_STATE and GW_ACTIVITY_STATE event types will not be reported in Gateway Logs messages.
Events API to be used instead to get Device and Gateway activity state. Please see the reference: https://support.tektelic.com/portal/en/kb/articles/api-changes-ns-release-2-6-10
