Horizon Series Software Update – August 2022
(swupdate-horizon-202208101311)
New Features
In this software update, the following new features were implemented:
New Wireless Feature – A new feature was added to the Horizon series that will
give the radio mobile functionality when programmed for Mesh networking. This
Dynamic Mesh system can have remote Horizon radios enter and exit a Mesh
network based on receive signal strength or lost packet count. When using this
Dynamic Mesh, mobile clients can connect to these Mesh radios as an Access
Point.
Wireless Optimization – By incorporating a new method of packet transfer, the
fixed (non-mobile) modes of operation (AP Bridge, AP Router, and AP
Masquerade) have a dramatic increase in data throughput.
Security – The administrative (admin) password for each new Horizon radio will
be unique. On firmware upgrade, the configured admin will not be changed
unless returned to factory defaults.
Networking – The Horizon radios now support IGMP Snooping in Ethernet networks
operating this protocol.
Update Procedure
The software update can be completed using the Discovery Utility, ESTeem
Networking Suite, or web interface. This procedure will update the radios
using the web interface to integrate the security update and new features. To
complete the software update you will need the following update file either
sent by ESTeem support or available for
