Issues Fixed

• Improved the mechanism for upgrading software by filtering license keys based on MAC addresses of the units to be upgraded.

Known Issues

• Version 5.02 of the TurboCell Kernel incorporates a fundamental protocol change related to packet framing, and is incompatible with Version 5.00 of the TurboCell Kernel. We recommend that you upgrade any KB20 hardware devices (Wireless Base Stations, Wireless Repeater Units, Wireless Clients) to Version 5.02 because future releases of the TurboCell Configurator will be based on this version. However, if you upgrade to Version 5.02 from Version 5.00, you must upgrade every Version 5.00 hardware device in your network. It is also imperative that you upgrade any Version 5.00 satellite/client stations in your network before you upgrade the Version 5.00 base stations in your network.

  You also need to make sure that you are using the latest version (v5.02) of the TurboCell Windows Configurator with v5.02 of the TurboCell Kernel.

V5.00-01 — June 02, 2004

Issues Fixed

• v5.00-01 of the Configurator can now configure the v3.xx releases of the KarlBridge kernels.
• The TurboCell Advanced Setup screen of the v5.00-00 RapidPtP Configurator contained a reference to the TurboCell Access Control List screen, which is not available in the RapidPtP Configurator. That reference was removed.
• When TurboMode was enabled, the Frequency Channel field on the TurboCell Advanced Setup screen of v5.00-00 of the standard Configurator contained an empty list. That dropdown list is now populated with the available channels for the USA.
