Release Notes PN 93009369_J ConnectPort X2 with Python 82001596_J EOS June 22, 2011 INTRODUCTION This is a production release of firmware for Digi's ConnectPort X2 gateway. The ConnectPort X2 gateway provides support for communication to end nodes in a wireless PAN from a parent application running on an IP network. The behavior of the gateway can be customized through the Python development environment. This firmware does not support Modbus or serial connections to the gateway node. For applications that require communicating directly with the wireless PAN module in the ConnectPort X2 gateway via RealPort, Modbus, or UDP/TCP sockets, a separate firmware version is available. For more details, visit the Digi Support website for firmware version P/N 82001631. SUPPORTED PRODUCTS ConnectPort X2 Ethernet HIGHLIGHTED PRODUCT CHANGES Starting with the 2.14.0 firmware version, the changes described in this section are incorporated in this product. Please refer to the HISTORY section of these release notes to identify the specific revision in which these changes were introduced. CLOCK (TIME) SOURCE MANAGEMENT SUPPORT The "Clock Source" functionality of the system has been replaced so as to simplify the behavior and improve the consistency of the time values delivered by the system, while still allowing the system to maintain a level of synchronization with external time sources. The updated feature includes a ranking system for clock sources. If a sample is taken from a better clock source than what has thus far been received (has a smaller number), the sample will be used to influence the baseline of our time measurements, and all sources of a less significant rank will be temporarily disabled. This allows the system to get a relatively accurate sense of time as quickly as possible, but eventually to run only listening to the best possible external sources. Internally, on products that have an RTC, the RTC itself is given a ranking of 50. This allows clock sources to be configured with a lower ranking... arranging so that they are only enabled when the RTC has not yet been initialized with a time value, essentially assigning them as one-shot programmers of the RTC. The rankings are re-evaluated when the clock sources are reconfigured, or when a user interface causes a "jump" in the time. Event logging of time-related events also is improved. The event log may be displayed using the "display logging" CLI or via the web UI. The SNTP client component has been improved to better detect failures to retrieve time sync samples from an NTP server as a time source. Failures or "lost" replies result in quick retries for both the initial sample after boot time as well as for subsequent samples. Additional configurability is supported via the "set timemgmt" CLI command and the iDigi platform. Event logging is improved for time-related events. ENHANCEMENTS Improve support for management of clock (time) sources. Refer to the HIGHLIGHTED PRODUCT CHANGES section for further information. When restoring a device to factory defaults, revert the certificates and keys only if the ALL settings are being reverted. (36710) Improve the network stack to address the issue described in US-CERT Vulnerability Note VU#498440: Multiple TCP/IP implementations may use statistically predictable initial sequence numbers. The note can be viewed at: http://www.kb.cert.org/vuls/id/498440. (36183) Improve the error messages that are reported due to ping CLI failures, such as when there is no route to the destination IP address, to be more specific to the underlying problem. (36872) Add the TCP "timewait" option to the "set network" command. This option specifies the desired system-wide value in seconds for the TCP TIME_WAIT interval. The default value is 60 seconds, and the supported range is from 10 to 240 seconds inclusive. Also added to the RCI settings. Add a note to the "set network" help, and to the "set network" output if a TCP option is changed, to clarify that the change is not applied to existing TCP connections, nor to service listeners until the listeners are restarted or a reboot occurs. Add similar notes to "revert network" help and "revert network" output if the global settings are reverted. Add DHCP lease information to the output of the CLI command "show network" when the IP configuration for the Digi device is received from a DHCP server. The information shown includes the IP address of the DHCP server, the lease duration, the renew and rebind times, and the time remaining in the current lease. Add support for a user-configured Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) size for the Ethernet interface. The MTU size can be configured using the "mtu" option of the "set network" CLI command, or in the web interface on the Advanced Network Settings page in the Network Configuration area. For the "display logging" CLI, add the ability to display the event log and continue to check for and display new log messages as they are written to the log. The help text for this command is updated to describe how to request and terminate the continuous log "tailing". Update the SSL/TLS implementation with enhancements and bug fixes. Enable TCP keep-alives by default for these services: ssh, telnet. This provides default cleanup of orphaned sessions. Enable the telnet client command in the command-line interface (CLI). (37522) Add a new info command to the CLI, "info time". This command displays SNTP Client statistics when SNTP is configured as a time source. Improve the parsing of RCI documents to better handle embedded XML comment and declaration values. (37651) To CLI, web UI and RCI, add flash (web) filesystem reporting for total, used and free space in the filesystem. Add these to: - CLI: display device (info device) - Web UI: General System Information page, and help - RCI: DeviceStats class (new elements) (38557) Mesh / Zigbee / XBee networking: - Web UI improvements: - Add sorting and paging of node list. - Remove node list from System Info/XBee page. - Move device status page to Configuration/XBee page. - Bring back simple gateway firmware update page for ZB. - RCI discover command additions: - Add option to get current node list without discovery - Add option to return information for a single node - Return time since last contact with each node - Return firmware update status for each ZB node - Add "info xbee" CLI command to display XBS and XBee statistics. - Return an error if the application uses network addressing on ZigBee (extended addressing is required). - Add support for XBee S2B (cost reduced PRO) radio. - Enable RTS flow control to radio. - Update radio parameters. - Set apply changes option on WR command instead of using AC command when saving radio settings. (32848) - Allow LT parameter value of 0. (32847) - Add XBS_TX_STATUS_KEY_NOT_AUTHORIZED constant to driver and Python. (32682) - Limit the number of queued commands. (32568) - Add RCI get_lqi command to get neighbor tables and link quality. (32509) - Add XBee driver statistics. (32508) - Add sorting of node list by clicking on column header in web UI. (24220) - Fix problems on ConnectPort X4 with 868/900 MHz radios and RTS. (33017) - Set NJ parameter range on SE radios to 0-254. (31477) - Hide SN parameter on ZNet 2.5 gateway radio to prevent a firmware update error. SN is still shown for ZB radio. - Add device type string for LTS gateway. - Enable DTR on the X4 XBee serial port. - Add a Python xbee.reset() method to reset XBee radio. This is for use by applications that communicate directly with the radio module. - Add join notification, BR and TC commands for SE 3x28 firmware. - Allow DDO commands to broadcast address from CLI. - Update configuration web page help for ZB. The Connectware Manager (also referred to as Remote Management) has been rebranded in the Digi device firmware as "iDigi". This corresponds with the service being offered by Digi for this purpose. The iDigi feature has been improved to support binary data service and file system service betwen the device and iDigi Server. These services are supported through interfaces available to python applications in the device. See www.idigi.com for more information on iDigi. A number of enhancements are added for the iDigi client in the Digi device firmware: - iDigi activity is recorded in the Event Log. - An iDigi client entry appears in the "Connections" list when: - The client is connected to the iDigi server. - The client is trying to connect to the iDigi server. - The client is waiting (listening) for the iDigi server to connect to it. - The client is waiting for a configured interval before initiating a (new) connection to the iDigi server. The connections list may be displayed in the CLI ("who") and in the web UI (Management > Connections). - When the iDigi client is waiting to (re)connect to the server, the connection table entry may be "killed" in which case the wait is canceled and the connection attempt proceeds immediately. - When the iDigi client is connecting to the server, the connection table entry may be "killed" in which case the connection attempt is abandoned. The "connecting" state is typically very brief. If for some reason the Digi device gets "stuck" in the "connecting" state, the kill request will terminate the condition. This is not an expected condition. - Add the CLI command "display idigi" report iDigi connection status of the Digi device. - Add the iDigi status web page under Administration > System Information to report iDigi connection status of the Digi device. - Show the iDigi Device Type for the Digi device on the iDigi Configuration page in the web UI. This is the device type by which the Digi device is known to the iDigi server. That value also is displayed via the CLI command "show mgmtglobal" and in the RCI output as (in addition to the existing field). - Send the actual Digi device type to the iDigi server rather than a possibly user-customized product name in config.ini. Customized names are problematic for the iDigi server for device recognition and management. (1291266) - Eliminate unsupported interfaces from the network settings RCI and related CLI (set mgmtnetwork). The web UI was already correct. (34520) - Increase the maximum permitted request and reply document sizes for the iDigi protocol RCI facility. The new size accommodates encoded files of just over 2MB. - Expose the (previously hidden) devicesecurity CLI option from these commands: set, show, revert. This was previously available but hidden to prevent misuse of some of that command's capabilities. The options that could cause problems if misconfigured have been removed, so it is no longer necessary nor appropriate to hide the devicesecurity option. (34535) - Add iDigi connection status items for send and receive idle times. - Add iDigi Timed Connection support to web UI and web help. This connection type has long been exposed via CLI and RCI. - For the iDigi client configuration's connection server list, reduce the number of server entries to 4 from 8. The list of 8 is simply truncated to 4 for this change. An attempt to restore "deprecated" entries results in warnings, not errors, generated by the settings manager. Note that Digi devices are typically configured to use only one of the server list entries, so this change won't affect deployed products. This reduces runtime memory usage, NVRAM use for configuration setting storage and the RCI text generated for backups. (34309) - Improve the error recovery algorithm for failed RCI requests received via iDigi. The updated algorithm reduces network activity by eliminating redundant error reports. Improve trace output for troubleshooting. (37637) - Expand the description of iDigi keep-alives in the web help information. - Add event log and trace messages for the "Disconnect" iDigi protocol message, to help with troubleshooting the loss of iDigi connections. The Python ONEXIT condition has been added to the Web UI. (37541) As a debugging aid, improve the Python interpreter to report the filename of the calling code in tracebacks and other stack inspections. (32589) Enhance filesystem support: - Add POSIX APIs. - Enhance Python interfaces. - Extend the "ls" command for file systems in RCI to request a hash value be returned for files in the listing. At present, the only hash methods supported are "none" (the default) and "crc32". - Extend all RCI implementations in NDS to supporting requesting a specific file rather than just a directory in a "ls" command request. The "dir" attribute of the "ls" command has been deprecated as a result, with the more applicable synonym "path" now taking its place as the standard attribute tag to use to choose what should be listed. Remove unneeded and deprecated data and code to reduce memory use. BUG FIXES Fix a problem that caused the Python built-in time.clock() call to return a value that "rolls over" after approximately 49.7 days of operation after a boot of the Digi device. This occurred due to an internal clock counter rollover. It could cause Python application program to assume that the clock (and time) had gone backwards, resulting in unpredictable behavior of the application. (37986) Fix a bug that may result in a memory leak when a fully qualified domain name (FQDN) is configured for a SNTP Server as a time source in the Date and Time Settings (CLI "set clocksource"). (37807) Fix a bug in which multiple SNTP Server entries may be configured as time sources in the Date and Time Settings, but only the first one in the list is used. (33367) Fix an issue in the SNTP Client that results in frequent name resolution attempts (one per second) if a domain name is configured for an SNTP time source. This may occur if the name is invalid or cannot be resolved by the configured DNS servers. A backoff is implemented to mitigate the too-frequent name resolution attempts. (32652) Fix a bug in which the localtime() API didn't correctly adjust time by the specified timezone offset. (36959) Fix a bug in which setting the time with a year greater than 2036 causes the wrong year to be set. (32781) Fix a bug in which changing the IP address from dynamic to static via the web UI redirects to a URL mix of old/new IP addresses. Also correct a failure to redirect if the service port for HTTP or HTTPS is other than the usual values 80 or 443, respectively. (33205) Fix a problem in which Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) fails to route correctly under certain narrow instances (such as routing between hosts with IP addresses 25.0.0.50 and 24.0.0.50, with a subnet mask of 248.0.0.0). (37043) Fix a problem in which Ethernet driver might lose synchronization between its interrupt handler and its packet receive processing thread. This could cause received packets to be held in the driver's receive buffer ring and not passed to the network stack in a timely manner. Under such a condition, network communication might appear to be broken for network protocols and applications. (35638) Fix a possible panic that occurs while configuring the primary network interface (Ethernet) and saving the changes to NVRAM. (35715) Fix a bug in which the file system component was incorrectly accounting for open directories in the system. Due to this bug, it was possible that the open would fail regardless of actual resource availability. (31645) Fix a bug in a previous fix to gettimeofday() that causes incorrect display and behavior in "set time" and the Date and Time web page. (35957) Fix a bug in uudecodeToFile() that causes RCI file transfers to fail when there is white space after the file data. (36147) Mesh / Zigbee / XBee networking: - Fix a bug that caused XBee early request timeout and retries resulting from a race condition. (37735) - For mesh networking configuration, display the correct range for the SC setting in the web UI for XBee PRO 802.15.4 and S2B radios. (35660) - Fix bug causing commands to time out too early. (32456) - Fix bug in Python xbee module with handling node discovery errors. (32456) - Require the node ID used in xbee CLI commands be a unique exact or partial match to a node in the node list. (32516) - Fix gateway firmware version display bug in web UI. - Fix a problem in which a specific status message from an XBee radio could cause a false firmware update failure. (34471) - Correct inconsistent return codes from CLI commands "set xbee" and "xbee". The bug resulted in problems for the Python interface to the Digi CLI. (34683) - Fix bug when setting extended timeout option on DDO commands. - Ignore flag bits added for DigiMesh in DDO command status byte. - Allow extra time for DigiMesh node discovery. This fix is needed by 868 MHz firmware 1x61 and 2.4 GHz firmware 8x62. - Fix a bug that blocked all transmissions while waiting for a DDO command issued to an unresponsive node. - Update radio command processing limits for SE and S2C. (38712) - Add SP radio parameter for DigiMesh gateway radio to web UI, CLI, and RCI. (38766) - Fix a bug handling join notification status frame that created incorrect node list entries. Fix a Python socket read failure that could occur if a timeout is set on an SSL socket. Fix an inconsistency and bug in which the Python command string was not properly managed with its maximum length value of 127 characters. Throw an exception instead of returning None from the Python xbee.get_node_list() function when the node list is empty or an error occurs. (35111) The value returned by the Python time.time() function is no longer modified by the offset option of "set time". The function gettimeofday() was returning UTC biased by "offset". (34994) For Digi products that do not expose the serial port to the end user, fix a bug in which profile settings are exposed but should not be. This affects: - CLI (set/show/revert profile and "display techsupport") - Configuration backup (33414) Fix a bug in which the "set_factory_default" RCI request incorrectly states in its RCI descriptor text that a device reboot will be performed after the "factory" action has been completed. No reboot is performed. Eliminate several potential memory leaks. (34946) KNOWN ISSUES None. DOCUMENTATION ERRATA None. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION It is recommended that you perform a backup of your device's settings prior to upgrading your firmware. If you should need to revert back to a previous version of firmware, this will ensure that you will be able to restore your device to its previous settings in the event that some settings are not restored properly after downgrading the firmware. To backup your device settings, follow this simple procedure: 1) Open the web user interface and navigate to the "Administration" section and select "Backup/Restore". 2) Click the "Backup" button and select the location to where you want to save your backup file. To restore: 1) Navigate to the same section within the web UI. 2) Click the "Browse" button to select the backup file you saved in the previous steps. 3) Click the "Restore" button to upload the configuration settings contained in your backup file. On initial boot of this device, it will generate some encryption key material. This process can take as long as 40 minutes to complete. Until the corresponding key is generated, the device will be unable to initiate or accept that type of encrypted connection. It will also report itself as 100% busy but, since key generation takes place at a low priority, the device will still function normally. On subsequent reboots, the device will use its existing keys and will not need to generate another unless a reset to factory defaults is done, which will cause a new key to be generated on the next reboot. HISTORY 82001596_J (2.14.0.3) - June 22, 2011 See ENHANCEMENTS and BUG FIXES information above. 82001596_F3 (2.9.0.11) - February 12, 2010 ENHANCEMENTS: The default value of the over-the-air (OTA) firmware update setting to is changed to disabled, to avoid interfering with applications using the XBee network. Improve iDigi (Connectware) client's connection backoff/retry logic in the case of failure to connect to the iDigi server. If SNTP Server use is configured as a time source in the Date and Time Settings, with a domain name specified for the time server, a possible stale name resolution condition was eliminated. BUG FIXES: Present data frames sent to the mesh gateway broadcast endpoint 0xff to all sockets bound to endpoints 0x01-0xf0 per the ZigBee specification. (32289) Always allow over the air firmware updates of remote XBee-PRO ZB nodes. PRO nodes are not affected by the low-power boot loader problem that prevents updates of non-PRO nodes. Fix a bug in the DHCP client that accumulates small network buffers on the DHCP client's internal information structure. This occurred for options received from a DHCP server that are unrecognized by the DHCP client. These buffers are now freed to avoid gradual memory depletion. Flush the DNS resolver cache when the DNS server list changes (servers are removed). This avoids a possible stale DNS resolver cache issue. Disallow an attempt to set the IP address for a network interface and the interface-specific gateway to the same value, which causes problems for routing in the network stack. 0.0.0.0 is substituted for the gateway 82001596_F2 (2.9.0.8) - December 14, 2009 ENHANCEMENTS: Add a CLI command to test Zigbee functionality. This is used as a End of Line test for the device. Zigbee funtionality is not tested as part of the manufacturing process. BUG FIXES: None. 82001596_F1 (2.9.0.7) - October 30, 2009 ENHANCEMENTS: Add SNTP Client as a time source for time source management. This new feature adds SNTP client as a source for time management. It allows the device to synchronize its clock with NTP/SNTP servers. Configuration for this feature is available through RCI, the web UI and the command line "set clocksource" command. Add an "offset" from UTC to time source management. This new feature adds the ability to modify Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by increments that correspond with time zones. Configuration for this feature is available through RCI, the web UI and the command line "set time" command. Add logging for time events such as changes to offset or time "jumps". Add SSL connection support and simple password authentication for device connections to the iDigi Server (Connectware Manager Server). Add numerous commands to "display techsupport" for improved reporting. (31539, 31689) Reduce the amount of alarm data sent at the start of a connection to an iDigi Server (Connectware Manager Server) by sending only the active alarms. This improvement is coupled with a server change to not request the current state of all alarms. Add support to flush the ARP table and DNS resolver cache on demand. Enhance "display dnsserver" to display resolver cache entries. Automatically flush the DNS resolver cache when the DNS server list changes, removing possibly stale cache entries. XBee (mesh) networking enhancements: Show XBee SN parameter for gateway radio in web UI and CLI. (30782) Improve ZDO node discovery: - ZDO node discovery performed by default on Smart Energy networks. - DDO node discovery performed by default on other networks. - Verify that routers respond to LQI request. - Find and verify end devices in router child table. - Prevent extra LQI requests outside of ZDO discovery. - Add CLI "display xbee zigbee" option to enable ZDO discovery. - Add Python get_node_list() parameters to select discovery types. Log changes in local modem status in event log. Save changes to D7 on web UI basic settings page. Don't require "!" at end of node address in CLI. Update radio parameters. Blink X2 association LED when "identify device" is done on the gateway by itself. Supported on ZNet, ZB, and DigiMesh. Correct node identify message sent to DP 868 and 900 radios. Queue transmissions in gateway while DigiMesh network is asleep. Add CLI "xbee child_table" command to display associated end devices. Add web UI and improve CLI for over the air firmware updates. Improve the ability to break out of "xbee ping" command. Improve support for DigiMesh sleeping network. Add the ability to backup and restore configuration of XBee nodes to .pro files, which are compatible with the X-CTU configuration tool. Add backup and restore, and move existing node identify and resets to a new Device Operations tab under the XBee Configuration web page. Add backup and restore to a TFTP server to the "set xbee" command. (31389) Allow gateway radio firmware update via RCI when the radio is disabled or not recognized. The target address attribute must not be specified in this case. Add click/shift-click support to select a range of nodes on the XBee OTA firmware update web page Correct the range and scaling of XBee voltage parameters. (31943) Allow fully qualified domain names (FQDN) instead of only IP address for a number of features. These features are: AutoConnect, SNMP trap destinations, and the alarms e-mail server. (19517, 30637) Add options to CLI, web UI and RCI to save encrypted passwords and keys in the configuration backup file. Configuration restore accepts either encrypted or plain text passwords and keys. (15108) Change the signature method on the self-generated, self-signed certificate from MD5 to SHA1. Although MD5 is not generally unsafe, SHA1 is deemed to be the most secure. All browsers or SSL clients recognize SHA1 instead of MD5. Expose 'rmdir' and 'rename' calls to Python through POSIX wrapper. Update the web UI for IP Forwarding Settings to show the maximum number of entries for Static routes and "Forward TCP/UDP/FTP connections...". (31866) ENHANCEMENTS in 82001596_F1 subsequent to 82001596_F: Add support to send login success and failure traps via SNMP when a user logs into the device using HTTP or HTTPS. Improve the information sent for some alarm conditions when e-mail is the configured method for sending the alarm. BUG FIXES: Check if enough free memory is available to handle a firmware update from the iDigi Server (Connectware Manager) and return an appropriate error response if not. (31321) Fix a bug that limited length of the primary SNMP destination field in the SNMP Settings web UI. (31895) Add a change to work around a problem in which Digi products do not accept gateways from Apple's Airport Extreme when the Digi product is configured as a DHCP client and the Apple is the DHCP server. (31166) Improve a condition under which client-initiated connections to the iDigi Server (Connectware Manager Server)) won't start unless the "Reconnect after..." box is checked. (31885) Eliminate several memory leaks. BUG FIXES in 82001596_F1 subsequent to 82001596_F: Fix a bug in which login success and failure traps were not being sent via SNMP when a user logs into the device using SSH. (32161) 82001596_F (2.9.0.5) - October 17, 2009 Not released for customer use. See ENHANCEMENTS and BUG FIXES information for 82001596_F1 EOS. 82001596_E2 (2.8.4.16) - August 28, 2009 ENHANCEMENTS: None. BUG FIXES: Fix a memory leak that may occur when DNS lookups are performed. Although the leak is small, it can lead to memory exhaustion in systems that perform many DNS operations, such as some iDigi client configurations. (30870) 82001596_E1 (2.8.4.8) - April 10, 2009 ENHANCEMENTS: Add support for cost reduced build of ConnectPort X2 Ethernet. BUG FIXES: None. 82001596_E (2.8.4.7) - March 31, 2009 ENHANCEMENTS: MESH NETWORKING ENHANCEMENTS: Add support for XBee DigiMesh 2.4GHz and 900MHz radios. Add support for XBee 868 radios. ZB - Support Over the Air firmware updates for ZB Mesh XBee. ZB - Support use of 16-bit address. ZB - Support ZDO Node discovery using neighbor tables for ZB firmware. Add support for Mesh Source Routing. Add support for transmit queuing in the gateway. Add ability to locate and identify units using a button on Gateway web UI and via CLI. Change behavior of XBee Route command to show route to end node. Sort node list in Web UI by Node ID. Other specific enhancements: - Rename CLI options for set/show/display from "mesh" to "xbee". The option "mesh" remains as a hidden alias, but it is deprecated. - Add support for "xbee" utility command to CLI. - Add "revert xbee" command to CLI. - Improve string parsing in CLI and value validation in web UI. - Add zbGetGatewayInfo() function to return gateway status. - Add data loopback support. - Add handling of ZB many to one route request frame. - Add alias configure_ain() for digihw.configure_channel() - Add XBee socket option (XBS_SO_EP_SYNC_TX) to block until sendto() is ACKed or fails and return status - Add radio frame API type to radio message callback - Improve blocking of commands during radio initialization - Improve calculation of transmission timeouts - Modify settings to load on demand and save only changed values so web UI transfers fewer settings to/from nodes. - Rename DDO command options, add to Python interface. - Assign new frame ID for transmission retries. - Display node list grouped by routers and their end devices in CLI. - Send loopback request before DDO commands to improve error detection. - Save API mode setting after radio initialization for faster start up. - Handle payload size errors with source routes. GENERAL/OTHER ENHANCEMENTS: Add configuration web page for MEI in all MEI-capable products. Update "display techsupport" to include new and additional commands. Add the current date/time to the device status display (CLI and web UI), in addition to the uptime value for the device. For event logging, add the device uptime to end-of-log display line (both CLI and web UI), if the timestamp display for logging is other than the uptime (such as date/time). BUG FIXES: MESH NETWORKING BUG FIXES: - Fix bugs using XBee DP 900 radio firmware. - Fix bug with disabling mesh from CLI. - Use cached 16-bit address only for ZigBee. - Add parameter validation. (28896, 28895, 28894) - Fix callback crash/deadlock. (29183) - Update firmware table after gateway radio FW update. (29217) - Disallow invalid firmware files, improve recovery from OTA firmware update errors. (29220) - Fix bug with frame payload greater than 236 bytes. - Fix ZB broadcast frame size limit. - Fix ZNet 2.5 end devices missing from node list. - Hide network reset button if DigiMesh. (29572) - Fix firmware update from DigiMesh 2.4 to 802.15.4. (29575) - Handle bad arguments to "xbee ping" command. (29592) - Correct node identify message for DigiMesh. (29593) - Fix bug with loopback data size of 256 bytes. (29594) - Shorten some device type strings in web UI and CLI. (29595) - Fix disappearing node ID in web UI. (29605) - Always store network address on node discovery (even if 0xffff). - Blink LED directly instead of sending node identify message from gateway to itself. (29593) - Hide power level setting in web UI for XBee-PRO series 2 radios because it is read-only. (29498) - XBee socket options SO_NONBLOCK and XBS_SO_EP_SYNC_TX were being enabled incorrectly. (29753) - Show correct PAN ID range for installed radio on XBee basic settings web page. (29830) - Set option to "purge" transmissions that are blocked by 868 MHz radio duty cycle limit. (29902) - Preserve gateway radio settings during ZNet firmware update. (29892) - Sort web UI node list by node ID and extended address, instead of grouping by router and children. (29396) - Wait for mesh node discovery to complete before sending another local command because radio will block and command will time out. Does not apply to ZNet or ZB radio firmware. - Log an error and do not attempt to update XBee firmware over the air when target node has the old boot loader with low power setting. (29932) GENERAL/OTHER BUG FIXES: Implement RFC-specified validation for a hostname, per the requirements for DHCP option 12. The RFCs consulted include 952, 1035, 1123 and 2132. The maximum length of the hostname is increased to 127, increased from 31. Support for a FQDN also has been implemented. Web UI help has been updated to describe a valid hostname construction. (27588) Strip carriage returns from TFTP loaded Python scripts. (26971) Add a very basic stat call for FAT FS, so we can report st_size. (22785) Fix a bug that occurs when restoring a public key: the value is set to the key plus additional bytes, resulting in a corrupt key. (27780) Add option value ranges to CLI "udpserial" command help. (29034) Fix a bug in which the event log includes one or more messages that specify the wrong (misleading) system time value when the device boots. Affects devices with a real time clock. (29804) 82001596_D1 (2.8.1.11) - November 12, 2008 ENHANCEMENTS: None. BUG FIXES: Fix a bug in which the CLI "set time" command could set the date or time value incorrectly unless both were specified on the command line. This addresses a previous Known Issue. (28285) Release ZigBee socket lock around calls to driver zbSendMessage() to prevent deadlocks. (28356) 82001596_D (2.8.1.6) - October 1, 2008 ENHANCEMENTS: Mesh networking enhancements: - Replace the term "Mesh Network" with the broader "XBee Network" to better describe the varied RF network types supported by Digi. - Add an option to software reset or network reset a node on the XBee Advanced Settings page of the Web UI. - Add more configuration and display capabilities to the mesh networking user interface web pages. - Add support for ZB firmware versions 2x21 and later. - Add support for XBee Pro 900 radio. - Add lookup by node ID to set/show/display mesh CLI commands. - Add ability to update gateway radio firmware to web UI and RCI. - Add timeout parameter to C and Python DDO functions. - Add ability to run DDO commands from the CLI. - Display DDO commands for parameters in the CLI. - Handle missing 64-bit address on received frames. - Handle 16-bit cluster IDs. - Increment frame ID in transmitted data frames for debugging. - Update radio parameters supported by the web UI, CLI, and RCI. Add dynamic web page generation support for native web server from Python. Add support for Connectware Manager Web Services. Add support for file system access from Connectware Manager. Improve configuration settings implementation to use less memory, better support customized defaults and more effectively manage NVRAM. Add start-up event logging in the "system" facility of these items: - product name and ID - model name (if different than the product name) - firmware (EOS) version - boot version - POST version - manufacturing VPD version (build tag) - hardware strapping value The above information is also shown by the "display device" command. BUG FIXES Mesh networking bug fixes: - Fix mesh node list threading bug that caused remote DDO commands to fail. (25697) - Indicate when a broadcast frame is received and its source address - in ZbAddressParams structure. (25895) - Improve CLI error messages when gateway is disabled. (26632) - Preserve gateway radio settings across firmware update. (26633) - Clear node list when the gateway is disabled. (26634) - Fix panic while setting PAN ID in the web UI. (26876) - Fix payload size checking in ZigBee sockets sendto function. (27184) - Fix bug displaying DDO command results in CLI. (27869) - Allow any length up to maximum for keys and binary settings. (27904) - Fix bug during initial node discovery when remote nodes are sending data. Fix memory leak related to RCI requests. Fix memory leak related to XBee sockets interface. Fix possible issue where the DHCP client would fail to retrieve an IP address. 82001596_C (2.7.5.3) - July 16, 2008 ENHANCEMENTS: Add dynamic web page generation support for native web server from Python. Add support for Connectware Manager Web Services. Add support for file system access from Connectware Manager. BUG FIXES: Fix memory leak related to RCI requests. Fix memory leak related to XBee sockets interface. Fix possible issue where the DHCP client would fail to retrieve an IP address. 82001596_B (2.7.4.3) - April 15, 2008 ENHANCEMENTS: Add support for XBee 802.15.4 modules (Series 1). Reduce runtime memory usage, including both executable code and data. The firmware image size also is somewhat reduced. This results in more available memory in the Digi device, which can help improve performance during intervals of high memory demand operations. Add support for SSL. Enhance the Event Logging feature to permit the user to clear the log on demand, thereby removing all log entries. This is supported in the web UI (Event Logging page) and the CLI ("display logging action=clear"). Add two new options to the CLI command "display logging": head=(lines) tail=(lines) where "(lines)" is a number of log entries to display. The "head" option displays lines from the start of the event log (the oldest entries), and the "tail" option displays lines from the end of the event log (the most recent entries). Add Web UI advanced page for configuring mesh settings. BUG FIXES: Fix several mesh issues: - Increase maximum data payload size to accommodate all radio types. - Update radio's valid parameter ranges. - Fix a problem obtaining gateway radio information. - Fix a problem displaying the product type. 82001596_A (2.6.4) - September 27, 2007 Initial release.
