Compatibility Notes
Item | Description |
Wirepas Network Tool | Due to allowing of node approval without location in WNT 4.3, the node approval might not be working correctly (depending on the case) when using mixed WNT client and backend versions. It is recommended to use WNT >= 4.3 client with WNT >= 4.3 backend, and WNT <= 4.2 client with WNT <= 4.2 backend. |
New Features vs Wirepas Network Tool v4.2
Item | Description | |
1 | OTAP improvements | Functionality of the backend OTAP has been improved in situations when there are constant gateway connection breaks. |
2 | WPE 1.6.0 support | Support for WPE 1.6.0. |
3 | Node approval without map location | It is possible to approve nodes from the node list’s context menu without moving the nodes to the map. |
Important Notes for Wirepas Network Tool v4.3
# | Description |
1 | When using positioning engine the anchors are not detected automatically in WNT 4, as there is no bulletproof way to do this, but users need to set the nodes manually as anchors from the Node Management page. When doing backend update from WNT v3.0.x to WNT v4.3 the update runs a script that will import all router nodes that are approved and have valid location as anchors to WNT v4.3 backend. |
