[Candela] Candela LANforge New Release 5.5.2

邁訊科技代理的Candela LANforge 於9/25上線了最新版的LANforge軟體(5.5.2),本次的版本開始透過特定kernel版本 (6.18.14+)在MT7996卡板上支持了每頻段36虛擬用戶,此外也改進了Wi-Fi7 MLO 的功能、修正TR-398i4測項、已知問題解決等。想了解詳細更新Release Note可參考下方資訊,有更新需求,請立即與邁訊科技技術服務部門聯繫(support@meshlink.com.tw)。

 

邁訊科技與Candela致力於對最新的Wi-Fi技術提供成本可控的測試解決方案。LANforge協助產品製造商在研發及驗證階段做長時間大量且複雜的自動化測試,包含Rate vs. Range (RvR),Rate vs. Range vs. Orientation (RvRvO),Capacity (Multi-client),dual-band,Mesh,RFC2544等。在認證方面Candela也是Broad forum的會員,針對TR398i1, TR398i2, TR398i3, TR398i4提供自動化的完整測試方案。

 

邁訊科技Meshlink自2023年WiFi7測試方案發表後已經與Candela攜手協助國內外各大網通設備製造商進行Wi-Fi7的測試及驗證。Wi-Fi7帶來新的技術及測試挑戰,MLO(多重連結作業)、MRU、4096QAM調變、320MHz頻寬,新的調變技術、更高的頻寬帶來更高的吞吐量Throughput。Meshlink邁訊科技與Candela Technology將協助客戶一同面對新的挑戰,並於近期佈建WiFi7 demo環境供客戶一起探索最新的技術。請隨時關切邁訊科技網站資訊或隨時與我們的技術窗口聯繫(support@meshlink.com.tw)。

Release 5.5.2  

  • TR398v4: Use correct radios for MLO tests. eMLSR can only use Intel be200 radios, ML0-STR can only use mtk7996 radios, so over-ride test default settings to make this work correctly.
  • TR398v4: Update to follow latest spec. Among other things, default to 160MHz bandwidth for wifi-7 on 6Ghz. Test still allows one to use 320Mhz, but as of now, TR398 spec is going to do pass/fail at 160Mhz.
  • Interop: IOS 'Modify' window gains ability to 'type' through the bluetooth connectivity
  • Interop: Android now supports EAP connectivity automation, and better general wifi connectivity automation. Tested on a wide range of phones.
  • Interop: Support IOS version 26.
  • IOT/Dataplane: Improve automation support for testing Android IOT devices (glasses, watches, etc)
  • GUI gains 'ctrl-shift-c' support in almost all windows to take a screen-shot of the window in focus. This makes it easy to copy LANforge screens into documents.
  • Interop: Android phones can now report basic MLO Link info.
  • Interop: Improve IOS auto-discover logic.
  • Interop: Improve IOS wifi state and performance reporting.
  • Interop: Initial support for deploying LANforge using Windows domain controllers.
  • Scale-Test: Stability and feature improvements.
  • AP-Auto: Stability and feature improvements.
  • Port-Reset: Stability and feature improvements.
  • WiFi Capacity: Improve memory utilization on long-term tests by decreasing amount of graph and report data generated when many test iterations are requested.
  • Table-Report-Builder: Enable this feature again.
  • Update to 6.18 kernel, improves MTK7996 MLO (STR) and virtual station support, improves stability with Intel be200 stress tests.

Significant Bug Fixes

  • TR398v4: Fix mlo link stats. Kernel fix for 6.15.6+ kernels where the MLO per link stats were wrong when MLO links were not linear.
  • TR398v4: Fix MLO-STR xlsx sheet description (it confliced with eMLSR test)
  • TR398v4: MLO-STR no longer enables MLO for the single-band tests.
  • TR398v4: Fix pass/fail comparison in long-term stability test, and clear counters after initial warmup period to better count steady-state performance.
  • kernel: Fix a few kernel crashes in 6.15.6+ kernel related to MLO.
  • kernel: Fix VAP mode crash with Intel be200 radios.
  • Fix Dataplane issue with temperature-controlled chamber.
  • Fix wifi-mode detection for combined-phy radios.
  • Fix propagating server errors when JSON CLI commands fail. This makes debugging automation problems much easier.

Known Limitations

  • Multiple stations on the 'combined' phy on mtk7996 radios has stability problems, especially after many admin up and down. These problems are not seen when using the single-phy radios. There was no combined phy at all in earlier releases, so while we do want to fix this, it is not really a regression.
  • Virtual stations (more than one station per radio) have problems when connecting to AP that does OFDMA. Work-arounds include disabling OFDMA on the AP or forcing the virtual stations to support only VHT instead of AX. This is probably a hardware limitation and is unlikely to be fixed with currently available radios.
