The problem has now also been resolved for CJD

Fixed

We were able to solve the stability issues for all houses except CJD.

2 weeks ago ·

Due to unforeseen problems regarding software version differences between newly installed Access Points and the controlling infrastructure, there will be some minor network stability issues in the next hours, as parts of the systems will need to be updated to a newer software version.

As most of these systems are built redundantly, there should not be major network disruptions.

The newly installed network access points in house CJD cannot be enabled until after this update.
