Et voici venir une nouvelle évolution des bornes Unifi, avec le contrôleur logiciel version 2.10. Les nouveautés ne manquent pas, mais je retiendrai les “uplink” sans fil, destinés à relier jusqu’à 4 bornes à un même AP, ainsi que la fonctionnalité hotspot qui s’améliore de jour en jour, sans toutefois offrir une possibilité d’enregistrement syslog pour le moment.

En anglais dans le texte :

New Features

Wireless Uplink
Supports wireless uplink, each wired AP can have up to 4 downlinks
Allows runtime change of network topology
Allows wireless adoption of 2.0.0 APs in default state

L3 Manageability
Allows the controller to run in a different subnet
Allows no-touch AP provisioning by using DHCP Option 43 or DNS
Provides UniFi Discovery utility to make local AP to inform back to the controller in NOC or Cloud

Hotspot with Billing and Customization
Built-in support for billing integration (Paypal) accepting major credit cards and paypal
Built-in support for voucher-base authentication
Built-in hotspot manager for voucher creation, guest management, payment refund
Allows full customization of portal pages

Rate Limiting
You can limit the upload / download speed per WLAN. You can even override it per user.
Allow different rate-limiting and usage-limiting for each hotspot package

Other Enhancements/Bug fixes

  • Proper TX Power control allowing customized TX-power setting. We’ll always show EIRP (mouseover to see how it’s calculated if external antenna is used)
  • Allow setting of WPA1-Only / WPA2-Only, TKIP / CCMP(AES)
  • Google Map integration (you can use Google Map in the Map view)
  • Email notification for alerts
  • Bonjour support: in additional to UPnP, UniFi controller will announce its presence (so you don’t have to remember the IP of the controller)
  • Shows “Managed by Other” for APs that were managed by old controller. An “advanced adoption” option is added to allow take-over.
  • Controller will check for port availability and display error messages during start up
  • WPA passphrase now accepting all printable characters (including space at begin / end)

Changes from 2.0.0->2.1.0

  • fix VLAN MTU issue
  • fix guest redirect failed sometimes after authorized
  • correct DHCP option 43 parsing
  • Hotspot: bandwidth / usage quota limitation per package
  • Hotspot: teaser package support
  • Hotspot: allow hostname for portal URL (looks more professional and site will be shown as trusted with paid SSL certificate)
  • custome SSL certificate import
  • WLAN Override: add enable/disable, PSK override
