Upgrade Notes

Must-Read Upgrade Notes:
  • This is a compatibility release to connect ML-60-19 and ML-60-35 units to the ML 2.5 Beam-forming sector and is not meant for PTP links!
  • 1.1.8 is not compatible with MetroLinq serial serial numbers starting with AF (late 2015 - early 2016 units). 
  • 1.1.8 is not compatible with 1.1.7, so all connected devices must be upgraded. 
  • The device must be reset to default settings when rolling back to previous firmware versions.

To fix this, simply change the 60 GHz radio mode to match the 5 GHz radio mode, after which the 5 GHz radio will follow any changes made to the 60 GHz radio.
