Release Notes for Cisco Wireless LAN Controllers and Lightweight Access Points for Release 4.0.179.8
OL-11101-01
New Features
Note
Controllers can be upgraded from one release to another. However, should you require a downgrade from
one release to another, you may be unable to use the higher release configuration. The workaround is to
reload the previous controller configuration files saved on the backup server or to reconfigure the
controller.

New Features
The following new features are supported in controller software release 4.0.179.8.
Support for 1505 Access Points
The Cisco Aironet 1505 Lightweight Outdoor Mesh Access Point is a wireless device that together with
the Cisco Aironet 1510 Lightweight Outdoor Mesh Access Point makes up the 1500 series. It is designed
for wireless client access and point-to-point bridging, point-to-multipoint bridging, and
point-to-multipoint mesh wireless connectivity. This access point is a standalone unit that can be
mounted on a building wall or overhang, on a rooftop pole, or on a street light pole.

The 1505 model differs from the 1510 in that it has only one radio (IEEE 802.11b/g). The 1505 does not
use an 802.11a radio, and its 5-GHz antenna connector is removed.

Note
At the present time, Cisco mesh networks can be built with either 1505 or 1510 mesh trees. A mesh tree
consists of mesh access points connected to a wired rooftop access point (RAP). In a future software
release, both models will be able to share a mesh tree.

Support for Pango Tags
Controller software release 4.0.179.8 supports the use of Pango tags within a wireless network. These
small wireless devices, created by PanGo Networks, are affixed to assets for real-time tracking. They
operate by sending special radio frequency identification (RFID) packets, which are processed by access
points and the controller.
