Caveats/Known Issues

  • For North Bound APIs, API Keys are not supported from January 12, 2022 release. Users will need to use the login credentials to retrieve the access token as described in the DevNet documentation.

Limitations

  • Per NAT best practices, source ports of 1900 and source ports below 1024 should be avoided, else, there can be instances in which the IPSec tunnel between the IXM and the cloud environment will not establish due to blocked traffic.
  • For sensors that have been onboarded, but have not sent any uplinks and end up in unreachable state, DevEUI will not be present in the Topic path for MQTT integration.

Caveats/Known Issues

  • For North Bound APIs, API Keys are not supported from the release of January 2022. Users will need to use the login credentials to retrieve the access token as described in the DevNet documentation.
  • When data spans across page boundary, sorting columns with duplicate values gives inconsistent results.
  • On the mobile app,
    • If the user switches from one tenant (with the Bridge feature flag enabled) to the other tenant (with the Bridge feature flag disabled), then they will still see the Bridge inventory tab.
    • If the user switches from one tenant (with the Bridge feature flag disabled) to the other tenant (with the Bridge feature flag enabled), then they won't be able to see the Bridge Inventory tab. The work-around to the above issue is to log out and log in to the mobile app, whenever the user wants to switch tenants.
