Introduction
As of 31 August 2022, Aviat Networks announces the release of ProVision Plus 2.13.0-190 GA
(General Availability) release software.
The product is in the form of a single server application with a web browser-based user interface.
No separate client application is required.
New support introduced since 2.10.1 GA release is identified by blue highlighting throughout this
document.
Release Summary
This section summarizes the new capabilities introduced.
NOTE:
• On upgrading to PV+ 2.11.0 or later from earlier releases, devices are not presented on
the new topology map until geographical coordinates of Site containers are established.
Please refer to the instructions in “Upgrading ProVision Plus Server” section in the
ProVision Plus Installation and Administration Guide for details.

trial in either the customer lab or Aviat lab (with a representative
configuration) to ensure there are no significant integration issues. This

Services Layers
The following table indicates the device types and associated embedded software versions
supported by ProVision Plus.
For indirectly managed devices, refer to section ProVision Software Versions below for the
supported ProVision version(s).
NOTE: All supported PV+ features are only compatible with the latest release of WTM 4000
software specified above, due to the phased rollout of WTM 4000 capabilities and
changes made to the WTM 4000 management interface over each release.
The following table indicates the device radio path configurations supported by the FAS product
module. The number of L1 Links and FAS Link License count associated with each radio link
configuration is also indicated.
The HAS column indicates the subset of configurations supported by the HAS product module.
Support for the full set is planned for future releases.
NOTE: Eclipse Dual Protection (i.e. “SD over Hot-Standby” and “SD over FD” with 4 RAC ports)
is not supported by FAS or HAS.
NOTE: WTM 4800 Multi Band is not supported by FAS or HAS.
Connections are only accepted from compatible versions of the ProVision EMS “ProVision Plus”
Northbound Interface (NBI). The table below indicates the supported ProVision versions for each
release of ProVision Plus.
NOTE: When attempting to connect an incompatible version of ProVision, the ProVision Plus
user is presented with a system error message and the connection is rejected.
The following table indicates the maximum numbers of devices supported by device type. This is
dependent on the product modules being used to manage a specific device type.
NOTE: In PV+ 2.11.0 to 2.13.0 a maximum of 1,000 Site objects is supported on the topology
map. Support for larger numbers is planned for future releases.
NOTE: Testing of PV+ supported IP / MPLS capabilities with larger numbers of devices is
planned for future releases.
NOTE: The maximum number of WTM 4000 and CTR 8740 devices is limited by high CPU
loading observed on Windows servers with lower spec processors. An efficiency
improvement is planned for a future release, enabling increase of the device count.
NOTE: The maximum numbers presented are not supported in combination. For example,
3,000 x WTM 4000 (through EM Fault & Performance) PLUS 3,000 x CTR 8540 (through
EM Integration for ProVision) is not supported.
The following table indicates the maximum numbers of service types supported. This is
dependent on the product modules being used to manage a specific device type.
NOTE: Larger L3VPN services are supported (up to 230 nodes in full mesh configuration),
however the underlying RT (route target import / export) topology is not supported. In
this situation the service is indicated as type “Oversized”.
NOTE: The numbers of L3VPN, VPLS and VPWS services are supported in combination.
NOTE: Testing of PV+ supported IP / MPLS capabilities with larger numbers of VPN services of
varying configurations is planned or future releases.

Procedure: Migrating historical FAS data from 2.7.1 (or earlier) to 2.8.1 (or later):
In 2.8.1 (or later) FAS data is stored in a new interference episodes format. This new data format is used to populate the
new FAS dashboard and other FAS views. The episodeGenerator.bat script tool is available to migrate historical FAS
data (retained in the database) to the new format.
The tool stops the Provision Plus service, creates the new episodes data, and then restarts Provision Plus.
Steps to run the tool :
1. Install new release of PV+ (e.g. PROVISION-PLUS-SETUP-2.8.1-b198-prod.exe build).
2. After installation and Provision Plus is running, the “episodeGenerator.bat” can be found in the
‘c:\data\backup’ folder.
3. Right click on “episodeGenerator.bat” file and select “Run as administrator”.
4. On completion, login to PV+ and verify the data is presented in the FAS Dashboard.

Product Licensing
Product Modules
ProVision Plus is licensed as a set of Product Modules, intended to be mixed and matched to the
specific requirements of a customer.
Please note that the usage of certain Product Module requires the licensing of one or more pre-
requisite Product Modules. In other words, to license the said Product Module the customer must
also license all pre-requisite Product Modules.
A Technology License for a Product Module entitles a customer to install the associated software
on a reasonable number of servers. The customer may choose to install the software on more
than one server in order to reduce the server load. Conceptually a Technology License is similar
to a server license but without the restriction of a single server.
For a Product Module that requires Device Licenses, for each device to be managed by the
Product Module, a Device License for the Device Class to which the said device belongs is
required. The Device Classes are defined in “Device Class”.
Please note that 100% coverage is required for Device Licenses. For example, for a given
Product Module if the network is calculated as requiring 20 WTM 4000 Device Licenses and 10
CTR 8740 Device Licenses according to “Rules regarding Device License”, then the customers
must have at least 20 WTM 4000 Device Licenses and 10 CTR 8740 Device Licenses for said
Product Module assigned to the ProVision Plus server managing the network.
Device Class
The following Device Classes are defined:
System Requirements
This section identifies the system requirements for installing and operating ProVision Plus,
including the following:
• Minimum hardware requirements
• Supported Operating Systems and versions
• Supported web browsers and versions
• Minimum monitor resolution for ProVision Plus clients
NOTE: PROCESSOR SPEC: Intel Xeon Silver 4110 processor (or equivalent) is the minimum
performance processor required for managing >100 WTM4000 or CTR8740 devices.
NOTE: When managing devices with multiple Product Module types, the minimum hardware
resources will exceed those of the individual Product Module types. For example, (1,000
x EM F&P) AND (1,000 x EM Integration PV) will require 16 cores and 64 GB RAM.
NOTE: We recommend that the HA Monitor is installed on its own Windows server to provide the
easiest installation, minimize the impact of a service outage caused from a single host
failure and to ensure a more robust system operation.
Combined ProVision Plus and ProVision EMS Server with FAS Module

to 200GB to support installation of PV+ GeoServer on the same machine as PV+ server.
The following table presents the minimum hardware specification for ProVision Plus client
machines for a given sized network.
The following table presents the supported Operating Systems for the ProVision Plus server.

Discovery TBD Slow discovery of changes to WTM 4000 currently doesn’t provide a notification when
WTM 4000 device configuration there’s a change to the device configuration. CTR 8740
introduced this capability in R4.1.1.
This results in a significant delay in discovery until PV+
performs the next background configuration collection poll
(every 1 hour) from the network devices.
Workaround: Wait for the next PV+ poll, or manually initiate
configuration discovery from the PV+ user interface.
It’s proposed that future release of WTM software provide
this notification capability.

L1LA WTM4K-7436 interface limitations associated NETCONF management interface:
with L1LA
1. L1LA radio interface capacity unavailable. PV+ is
therefore unable to derive Utilization % from Mbps
