I've had it for a while in beta and it seems to be just fine.
I didn't test all of the new features, just mostly concentrated on Preferred/Primary Color Code feature. |

Gotcha.
So you have not seen any adverse issues with the NAT or anything else in terms of stability? |

No, I haven't had any stability issues even from the first beta build I received.
I did notice them making suggested changes to design and usability as we progressed with the build.
So I think they have really gotten a much better hold on their quality regression testing to make sure they aren't breaking anything.
Ever since problems with 8.x the 9.x versions and upgrades have been MUCH better and more stable. |

That's impressive.
I will do the usual wait for everyone to deploy and then finally get around to doing it myself. I hate having problems. |

Yeah, that's always recommended.
The preferred color code feature was a total MUST for us and has solved lots of the problems with our redundant sector design. |

Yeah I was just looking into that and I can see how that would be nice. |

Never mind here is a snippet I found quite interesting..
A 5.2-, 5.4-, or 5.7-GHz P10 or higher AP or BH with a Region
Code set to United States and upgraded to Release 9.5 will no
longer be configurable to another Region Code by installers or
end users.
5.4-GHz radios with a United States Region Code will not
transmit in the Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) band of
5600 to 5650 MHz. |

More interesting info
AP DHCP Relay/Option 82 AP acts as a DHCP relay for SMs and CPE underneath it.
Color Code Priority on SM On the SM, multiple color codes (up to 10 per SM) and priorities
(3) allow more control of which AP an SM will register to during
normal and off-normal conditions. |

I think if your region code is set to Other, it won't change it automatically when you upgrade. |

I just wish we could have a second color code on the AP for a global installation like we do with the alvarion |

Sorry, was sick with the flu.
The redundant sector design we use is two or three AP's in the same band pointed in the same direction.
This way a customer can switch between two or three AP's on the same color code.
The problem was, sometimes the SM's would pile up on one AP.
So we asked for a preferred sector or color code option and they finally put that in 9.5.
Now we have seperate color codes and make our own decisions on what AP it should be on, but an SM can switch to a secondary color code if the preferred AP dissappears (non functional, we upgrade it, or DFS hits).
We set ours to look for the preferred AP after 5 minutes of switching and 5 minutes max on idle. |

So you are using 3 APs with 3 antennas (or integrated) facing the same direction, 120 degrees apart? (total 9 APs)? And each set of three are on the same frequency with diff color codes?
No problems with this at all? That is really interesting. |

I am curious to hear about how there aren't problems as well. That is a very cool set-up.
