IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS COMPLETELY
BEFORE PROCEEDING WITH THIS BETA UPGRADE
Your radio must be running Build 3.6.7 or higher before applying Build 6.0.1. The latest
version of TRUMP Version 1.0.9-fw-6.0.1 (Tranzeos Upgrade Program) will update your
radios automatically up to the most current build. Starting with 5.0.2, we now recommend
using TRUMP to upgrade instead of the HTTP interface, except for beta versions. TRUMP
can be used in Routed or Bridged networks.
You need to download and install the latest version of TRUMP in order to be able to
upgrade to build 6.0.1 using TRUMP. Please refer to the next section for details on how
to upgrade TRUMP.
Observant users may ask Why is the version bumped to 6.x?
At Tranzeo we increase the first revision level when we update the core software platform, or when
we add new hardware platform support.
This is a bump to 6.x as this firmware supports a new hardware variant. This variant is for OEM
use, and as a result, for Tranzeos existing users, the bump would appear without a reason unless
we included this note.
Warning: Before applying any versions of firmware please read and understand this
entire document. If you encounter problems with the new firmware you can seek help
from the Support Team. You should only perform a firmware upgrade during support
hours (8 am to 5 pm PST, Monday to Friday) in case you need emergency
assistance. If you have any questions, please call or email us before starting the
upgrade process. It is advised that network administrators document their
configuration before proceeding with the update, and manually re-enter the
information after the upgrade, if required.
Important: Firmware may become unusable if inappropriately applied or the connection is broken during
the upgrade. Ensure no interruptions during the upgrade. If the connection is broken or the power goes
off during an upgrade, the unit may become inoperative!

o Disable reverse DHCP block option for bridge mode and FDD in the file
Fix - Enable the 5.8GHz LED in AP mode for channels 146, 147, 148
Tweak - Added writing of the card type to exported configuration file for the benefit of the
Tranzeo Tech Support team
Tweak - Speed up 5.8 association time. Previously, when the CPE is initially hunting for an AP,
it could in some circumstance exceed the minimum required time period for Radar scanning on
the part of a station when not associated. As there are a significant number of DFS channels to
scan through, this could result in a cumulative delay in association that in some cases would
become noticeable. The CPE will still react to radar after the link is operational on a DFS enabled
channel.
Enhancement Added new packet filter rules. The rules are applied in the following order if
enabled.
1. Block DHCP (existing)
1.1 deny incoming UDP/TCP packets which of destination port is 67 on WAN interface
1.2 deny incoming UDP/TCP packets which of destination port is 68 on WAN interface
2. Block IGMP (new)
2.1 deny outgoing IP packets which of protocol is 2 on WAN interface
3. Block Locator Probes (new)
3.1 allow outgoing packets which of source MAC address is itself on WAN interface (allow the
device itself probed)
3.2 deny outgoing UDP/TCP packets which of destination port is 17784 on WAN interface
4. Block multicast (new)
4.1 allow outgoing broadcast packets on WAN interface
4.2 deny outgoing multicast packets on WAN interface
Enhancement - Added Brazil domain to DHS with channel compliant to Ansatel rules.
Enhancement - Added 5500-5700MHz band for Licensed use in Peru
Enhancement - Added AP and PxP functionality for SL2 series with HW3 only
Enhancement Now, in addition to the Redundant File systems for Device Firmware and Device
settings, we have added Redundant EEPROM backup and recovery to protect against an unlikely
but theoretically possible case where the EEPROM contents could be lost on 2B type cards.
Enhancement - Added 5.8GHz band to Malaysia and increase band to 5925MHz
New Added support for new card types (4J, 4K, 6D, 6E, 6F)
New Added support for H5 (OEM)

Bug Fixes:
Fixed leftover '>' character when a station is dropped from the AP station list
Fixed issue with antenna gain being cleared in rare cases on units with built in antennas, resulting
in a cosmetic issue.

NOTE: Changes in previous versions are listed after the upgrade procedure.

Upgrading using TRUMP

New version of TRUMP has been released to support Tranzeo WiFi radio product binaries up to
and including version 6.0.1. TRUMP is Tranzeos Remote Upgrade Management Program,
which can allow you to locate and mass upgrade your network from a single tool.
NOTE: It is recommended that you uninstall any previous versions of TRUMP before upgrading
to TRUMP Version 1.0.9-fw-6.0.1. You also should delete the C:\Program Files\Tranzeo\Trump
folder manually. This is to ensure that the new settings are correctly applied.
Please consult the Install Guide for TRUMP-1.0.9-fw-6.0.1.pdf file for step-by-step
installation/uninstall instructions, and on how to use it to upgrade your radios.

CHANGES IN TRUMP 1.0.9-FW-6.0.1

Added released version 6.0.1 binaries for TR-CPQ, TR-SL2, TR-SL5, TR-SL9, TR-6, TR-5a, TRFDD, TR-4.9, TR-Multi, and TR-90X

KNOWN ISSUES

TR6000/TR5a and TR-49 models running firmware < 4.0.2 will need to upgrade to 4.0.5 first,
and then to 6.0.1
Need to uninstall previously installed versions of Trump prior to installing this release
Need to manually delete C:\Program Files\Tranzeo\Trump folder after uninstall to ensure new
changes are used
Installing on a system with ActivePERL can lead to TrLocator /TRUMP scan failures, especially
when using remote desktop to access the machine running TRUMP.
Workaround: Uninstall ActivePERL.

You can download the latest version of TRUMP from the Tranzeo Support Website.

Victor 2.5
The Tranzeo Victor Program is a utility that allows users to locate and quickly change the IP
address of Tranzeo radios. It sends out a broadcast on the network and displays a list of all
Tranzeo radios and their corresponding IP addresses. This program replaces the Tranzeo
Locator. Victor 2.5 is the latest release.
You can download the latest version of Victor from the Tranzeo Support Website.

Manually upgrading the firmware using the HTTP interface
1. Log into the radio and go to the Administrative Settings page.

2. Click Browse to browse to the location of the upgrade file, using the firmware listed in
the firmware table. Dont worry, you will get an error if you select the wrong one but
you wont kill your radio. Then click the upgrade software button to apply the
firmware. The radio will upgrade the firmware and then reboot. All the LEDs including
the Power LED will go blank during the upgrade for up to 30 seconds. This is normal.
3. Your Radio is now upgraded and will continue to pass traffic after it reboots.

applied at firmware 5.0+ will remove trailing SSID.
o Removes trailing spaces when importing configuration settings
Added IP address hyperlink on AP's Stations List page to open CPEs HTTP Interface in new tab
Updated System Performance page to prevent memory leak in IE7 and Firefox 3.5 browser. Leak occurred

TCP output test {receiving data OUT of device)

throughput.exe -o -r [seconds] [ip_of_radio]
Added a basic traffic shaping feature to shape traffic transmitted from the device:
o Enabled by default with unlimited default value
Works in Bridge mode, but doesn't have the QoS classification feature
o Router mode still has the QoS classification feature
o Shaping applies to aggregate throughput, so for an AP, a setting of 10000 kbps would be shared
amongst all CPEs, not per CPE
o Added ability to set numerical traffic limit instead of fixed rates
o QoS enabled AP will not have Shaping enabled on upgrade, but QoS enabled CPE in router mode
will be converted to numerical traffic limit and remain enabled
Firmware now returns the firmware version in Victor response
Added IP address hyperlink on AP's Stations List page to open CPE in new tab
Enabled 1/4 and 1/2 channel support for card type 6C
Radio now checks before process files in case users accidently tries to import a firmware image instead of
settings file
Display system uptime on Information page.
o PxP mode displays additional value of Link Uptime.
Note: FDD may be off up to 6 seconds due to polling

MODELS SPECIFIC ENHANCEMENTS:

[FDD] Added slave board status and added client stats

MODELS SPECIFIC BUG FIXES :

[FDD] Fixed MAC address validation in pxp MAC address fields

[900] Fixed stability issue when configuring 1/4 channel in pxp mode

NOTE:

Please refer to the General Firmware Changes document for older

firmware changes.
