b. Select and Edit Ip address file buttons added
c. Select output directory button added
35. Quantum enhanced debugging.
a. Added check for Default VLAN issues
b. Added check for IPG and Data path issues
i. Configuration and implementation issues as seen in the field
ii. Data path and management issues
1. Network loops
2. Report configuration differences between endpoints for data paths, IPG,
management
36. Highlighted the AirPair 64 QAM Uncorrected BER as a non-issue. Customers are still reporting
the issue as a link problem.
a. 64 QAM takes over-the-air errors. AirPair reports these uncorrected over-the-air errors.
The other products do not, since there is no effect on the customer data or on the
customer network.
b. There are no associated modem block errors, therefore all errors have been corrected by
the AirPair modem
c. No data is lost, and there is no effect whatsoever on the customer data. Uncorrected
BER is simply a report to identify the RF operation, and this has been replaced by
Eb/No, SNR and EQ stress.
d. Solution is to list the uncorrected BER for 64 QAM issue, but add a statement that this is
to be expected, and associate Modem Rx Block Errors against it. No block errors = no
issue.
37. Added Batch command mode processing against single unit, or against IP address text file

Issue: 1.0
5. (Bugzilla #3435) - Some spelling errors have been corrected
6. (Bugzilla #- Link Monitoring Polling interval was not working was not working in some previous
Merlin release. Merlin would poll the unit constantly rather than the set time inputted by the user. This
was fixed so that unit will only be polled at the time inputted by the user.
7. (Bugzilla #3419) - Use statements rearranged in alphabetical order, some redundant use statements
removed
8. (Bugzilla #3403)- Top right close button and ->file ->exit now run the same subroutine. When closing,
Merlin will now check if any link monitoring processes are running.
9. (Bugzilla #3439)When the home screen is travelled to via the home button at the bottom right of the
screen, the Status bar at the bottom now says Home Screen rather than Home Screen Selected to be
consistent will all other status bar messages.
10. (Bugzilla #3438) - Link Monitoring Status bar message changed from Diagnostic Screen to Link
Monitoring Screen
11. (Bugzilla #3440) - Subroutine &loadIpAddressFile created to parse a ipaddress.txt file and return a list of
ip addresses, usernames and passwords.
Subroutine replaced some code in netscan with this subroutine
Load ipaddress.txt file button now uses this subroutine
12. (Bugzilla #3398) - Additional information about undetermined unit types has been added to the Network
Scan .csv files. In Diagnostics : Ips that return Undetermined units now create a text file for those unites,
reporting the unit type of the ip address could no be determined. Diagnostics, FTP Upgrades and
Network Scan have all been modified to better handle a undetermined unit or an inability to connect via
telnet.
13. (Bugzilla #3443) - FTP upgrades now report units that could not be logged into or returned a
undetermined unit type
14. (Bugzilla #3433) - Hardware id added to AirPair summary section
15. (Bugzilla #3441) - When Information cannot be gathered in Diagnostics, eg. via unresponsive command,
Diagnostics will display a N/A instead of ERROR
16. (Bugzilla #3433)- FTP upgrades, the message reporting the 3rd path length is too long actually reported
nd rd
the 2 path length was too long. This has been corrected to report the correct (3 ) file length is too long.
17. (Bugzilla #3444) - The load ip address.txt file now opens the pop-up in the directory Merlin was
executed in rather than the directory the previous ipaddress.txt file was in. (*if time permits)
18. (Bugzilla #3438) - Link monitoring rewritten. Link Monitoring now executes the same subroutine for all 5
links, rather than separate subroutines for each link. Each unit now has different header, specific to that

24. Merlin Event log 'timer' changed to use variable independent of performance log.
i. They were using a shared variable, now using separate variables.
25. Added number of total polls to poll error warning

V3.2

1) QOS type added to diagnostics output for HC and DUO.

2) FTP upgrade threading process altered to stop thread if upgrade process fails.

v3.1

1) On rare occasions, batch mode diagnostics threads time-out due to lack of response across
the network. The fix is to Kill old diagnostic threads that hang (run-time > 2 mins?)
without completing and that do not write text file.
2) Network scan freezes at the end of the scan with Duo Omni 1.2 firmware.
3) Remove Number of Diagnostic Processes Running counter from the Merlin window. The
number represents concurrent threads and is used for debugging. It is not a user feature. the
number of threads sometimes is displayed as a negative number.
4) Clean up summary Section to be neater and a single style. Currently, some of the text is
difficult to read and there are 2 formatting styles.
5) Accommodate the product CLI changes that now embed a "->" prompt inside of command
responses. Previously, the "->" represented a new command.
6) In the Details section, the Radio Software Version, Radio Hardware ID and Radio
Broadband Rx Power for WP1 is sometimes not displayed properly. Does not affect
operation, it is a cosmetic issue and only appears in the Details section.
7) Fix/Verify the Link Monitoring section to support the new Horizon Compact traffic statistics
output where the aggregated wireless port statistics did not previously exist.
