================================================================================ Funkwerk Enterprise Communications GmbH 19.07.2006 www.funkwerk-ec.com Firmware ComPoint Industrial Release Notes 1.67 ================================================================================ Serial Client SC firmware This firmware version V1.67 is a major release for the ComPoint Industrial products CPI-b-ES*. The firmware is shipped as one file, ARtem Firmware Package (.afw) IMPORTANT! Please refer to the readme1st.txt file for update instructions! Changes none Bugfixes WPA - in client mode WPA-PSK connection doesn't work with all APs Known problems Serial - With unidirectional protocols like Z-Modem, protocol timeouts should be increased, as several implementations judge data as sent as soon as the hosts local TCP stack accepted them, which is typically much faster than the UART can transmit. So timeouts are based on erroneous assumptions on side of Z-Modem. Wireless - Maximum transmission rate for WPA is about 250 kB/s. ================================================================================ Funkwerk Enterprise Communications GmbH 04.05.2006 www.funkwerk-ec.com Firmware ComPoint Industrial Release Notes 1.66 ================================================================================ Serial Client SC firmware This firmware version V1.66 is a major release for the ComPoint Industrial products CPI-b-ES*.
