I really appreciate these changes:

  • Alarms are no longer triggered when the device (re)boots or a new configuration is pushed.
  • Log on change tags are no longer logged when the device (re)boots or a new configuration is pushed.

This makes the handling and configuration of devices much easier.

IXrouter firmware 3.23 has been retracted due to a bug where some cellular connections no longer work after a firmware upgrade. If you are experiencing issues with the cellular connection after a firmware upgrade, please contact IXON Support.

A new version, containing a fix, is being worked on and will be released as soon as possible. IXrouters currently running version 3.23 can continue using 3.23.
