cnMaestroTM 3.1.

0 Release Notes
Introduction

This document highlights new features and significant updates in cnMaestro On-Premises.

Important
cnMaestro 3.1.0 On-Premises is distributed as an OVA file, which can be installed as a new
Virtual Machine or used to update an existing installation running cnMaestro
3.0.0/3.0.2/3.0.3/3.0.4.

Important: Web Browser


Restart your browser (or clear the browser cache with a hard reload) if you are having UI
problems with the 3.1.0 version.

Important: Two Interface Installations


Please review the section below on the enforcement changes for Management traffic
through eth0 and Device traffic through eth1.

Wireless Client Application Visibility

A dedicated page provides insight into the applications accessed by a Wi-Fi Client. This is only
supported for Enterprise Wi-Fi 6 Access Points. The feature must be enabled in the AP Group, so
the Access Points collect the application data and forward to cnMaestro.

Applications View

The Application page provides aggregate and time-series application details.


Wireless Client Dashboard and Performance

Wireless Client Dashboard and Performance pages improve insight into Client activity. This feature is
accessed by clicking any Client (Clients > Wireless Clients) at the System, Network, Site, or Wi-Fi
AP levels.

Wireless Clients Table

The Wireless Clients Table is presented below.

Wireless Client Dashboard and Performance Views


The Client Dashboard provides application and runtime details on the Clients. The Performance
page (not shown) displays key performance parameters over time.

CBRS Co-Existence for CommScope and Federated Wireless

Support is added for CBRS Co-Existence using CommScope or Federated Wireless SAS. This
support is already available for Google SAS users.

For CommScope and Federated Wireless, a "Merge User ID" option is displayed when importing a
new sector. The default behavior (when set to "yes") results in the tool sending CBRS registration
requests with the SAS User ID prepended to the Sector ID and Spectrum Reuse ID. This allows the
SAS to distinguish between operators (if both operators pick the same Reuse ID). In most cases,
operators will want the default behavior.

See the Cambium 20.3 PMP Training Course on the Cambium Networks Learning site for more
information. It details cases where an operator might want to set this to “no”.
Federated Wireless Enhancements

Federated Wireless operators will see the following additions to the Spectrum Inquiry Response pop-
up GUI.

1. A second view of the bar graph showing channel sorting by ranking.


2. A timer near the bottom of the pop-up GUI which counts down to the next CPAS cycle and
guides operators to wait until the timer expires to obtain a newly sorted spectrum inquiry
response, before making the final channel selections for grant requests.

See the CBRS Consolidated Procedures Guide for more details.


Other CBRS Enhancements

The addition and countdown timer shown above is available for Google and Federated Wireless
operators.

3.1.0 also adds support for newer CBRS alarms and events introduced in PMP version R21.0. The
ability for an operator to manually clear these CBRS alarms by alarm type has also been added, as
shown in the screenshot below.

Wi-Fi AP Configuration Updates and Bulk Overrides

The Wi-Fi AP Configuration flow has been simplified, and Bulk Overrides are added to efficiently
update values across many APs.

Primary Configuration Page


The simplified Device Configuration page is presented below. It is now used to filter devices.

AP Group/Template Selection and Bulk Overrides Page

A subsequent update page supports Bulk Overrides applied to selected devices.

Wireless Clients Report

Existing Wireless Clients Report is enhanced to provide an aggregate view of Client activity within a
period. Report generation can be scheduled and downloaded in CSV format from the
Administration > Jobs > Reports page.
.

Note the previous Client Report was a Session Report, which detailed statistics for each Client
connection. This has been moved to the Client Dashboard as Roaming History.

Guest Access Login Events Report

A new report type is added for Guest Access Login Events. Report generation can be scheduled and
downloaded in CSV format from the Administration > Jobs > Reports page.

Enhanced Packet Capture for Enterprise Wi-Fi APs

The existing Packet Capture tool is enhanced to create a packet capture file (with a ‘.pcap’
extension) that can be downloaded. It allows packet capture on a single interface or simultaneously
on multiple interfaces. This feature is supported for Enterprise Wi-Fi APs running software version
6.4 or higher.
SDR Moved to Essentials

The Software Defined Radios (SDR) support for XV3-8 Wi-Fi APs is now an Essentials feature.

Mesh Peers Moved to Essentials

The Mesh Peers detailed view is moved to Essentials.


cnArcher Installation Summary
The cnArcher Installation Summary is available at Network Services > cnArcher Installation
Summary. It is only supported by PMP SMs, and the cnArcher mobile application version must be
1.6.37 or higher.

cnArcher is used to install PMP Subscriber Modules (SMs), ePMP SMs, and cnRanger SMs. The
Installation Summary provides an overview of the data collected by cnArcher during the installation
process.

A list of PMP installations is presented below.

Details are captured and displayed for each install, including pictures taken at the site.
Map Enhancements
The MAP view is moved to the side tabs to provide better access.
Traffic Separation Enforced for Dual Interfaces
cnMaestro supports configuring two interfaces: eth0 for management/cluster traffic and eth1 for
control/device traffic. In previous versions of cnMaestro, the Web UI and Device traffic enforcement
was not enabled, because they both connected to the same Web Server. This behavior is updated in
3.1.0, and all Web UI traffic is now required to traverse eth0, and all Device traffic eth1.

Two Interface Installations


cnMaestro 3.1.0 enforces Web UI traffic through eth0 and Device traffic through eth1 in two
interface installations.

Citrix Hypervisor Installation


cnMaestro can be installed on Citrix Hypervisor (formerly known as XenServer). For detailed
installation steps, refer to Citrix Hypervisor Installation Appendix in the cnMaestro On-Premises
User Guide.
