Controllerless Networks

Hi

I am currently using IAP 204, 205 and 207 without any problem with firmware 6.5.3.3 and it all works in Instant mode. I have now added IAP303 and it does not work because the IAP 303 works at least with firmware 8.3.0.0 and IAP 204/205 can not have this firmware version.
What to do ? Will the next firmware (8.3.1.0 ?) support IAP204 or 205?

Another problem, Airwave does not yet support the firmware InstantOS 8.3.0.0. When is the next Airwave update scheduled?

Thanks

I just talked to support yesterday and they told me that the 205 is not getting updated past 6.5.4.6. I am none too happy about it. I have a cluster of 205s, 215s and 315s. I am not sure why they would opt to leave the 205 out of the latest version, as it is the same product family as the 215.

What this means is that either my cluster has to remain at 6.5.4.6 or I would have to have 2 clusters. Which would be ridiculous.

I am supposed to hear back from a member of the engineering team today. I will let you know if they tell me anything different.

Hi, 

I'm in the same boat, I have a cluster (our first deployment) which concists of 205 (classrooms) 215 for the Manager (VC) and larger locations.

The 8.3.x will support the 215 but not the 205.  I find that obsurd since I was told the 205/215 are the same family line.  The only option I see is to setup a new group specifically for the 200 series.  I can't risk updating the firmware on the 215 alone as this will not work together in the same cluster.

The reason IAP-204/205 was "parked" on Instant 6.5 code is related to the amount of memory available on that platform, which did not allow us to support it on 8.x. IAP-214/215 has twice the amount of memory on board.

The range of versions that support both platforms is 4.1.1.0 through 6.5.x.y.
