Enhanced Password Error Messages

In Cisco Business Mobile App version 1.3, more strict password requirements to support the new requirements of the CBS 3.2 switch firmware was added.

In firmware version 1.4, you can now see descriptions as to why a particular password might fail these password checks when configuring a site or when you change site credentials.

Advanced Wireless Settings

To enhance the wireless functionality of the CBW access points, you can now configure some advanced wireless settings when you create or edit a wireless LAN (WLAN).

The options include:

The ability to hide or display the SSID
Enable or disable Local Profiling
Enable or disable Application Visibility and Control

Pending Device Deployment Notifications

On older versions of the mobile app, it was possible to scan your devices to add to the network. But if you select Configure Device and if the devices were not ready, then they would not be added to the network devices.

To get the device added, you will then need to go through the Add Device menu on the main site menu and either re-scan or enter a device manually to show the pending devices.

In version Cisco Business Mobile App version 1.4, if you have a device that is pending deployment, you can see it as a notification on the site page.

Open the notification and press the View button.

The add device wizard will get launched and it will bypass the scan or manually add devices menu.

If the device is a Mesh Extender or Wireless Access point, it will start the timer countdown and then allow you to add the device.

Now you know all about the new features in the Cisco Business Mobile App version 1.4.
