1 Introduction
1.1 RELEASE 11.0 OVERVIEW
Release 11.0 is a general release for all Canopy FSK and OFDM radios, including PMP 100,
PMP 400/430, PTP 100, and PTP 200 Series modules.
The primary Release 11.0 feature is SM and AP support for the RADIUS (Remote Authentication
Dial In User Service) protocol so that RADIUS can be used for
o SM Authentication
o SM Configuration
o Centralized AP and SM user name and password management
For information on other Release 11.0 features see section 4 on page 11 .
For information on the RADIUS implementation see section 5 on page 13.
For improvements and issues resolved in Release 11.0 see section 6 on page 25 .
For release open issues see section 7 on page 26.
Release 11.0 adds no additional features to BHMs or BHSs, but BHMs and BHSs may be
upgraded to Release 11.0 if desired.
IMPORTANT!
Floating licenses are not supported when using RADIUS. If you are using
floating licenses, you can upgrade to Release 11.0, but do not use RADIUS
authentication mode.
Floating licenses are used in conjunction with Prizm or BAM to provide features to SMs. If you are
using floating licenses currently and wish to convert them to fixed licenses so you can use
RADIUS, please contact technical support.
Modules should be running Release 9.5 or Release 10.5 before upgrading to Release 11.0.
To upgrade modules and distribute certificates to SMs use CNUT 3.20.16.
To manage modules running Release 11.0, including managing features new to this release, use
Wireless Manager 3.0. (Prizm does not support the new features.)
