Warning: Please make sure the version of the ProSAFE Plus Utility installed on your PC is v2.2.24 or newer before upgrading the GS108Ev2 firmware. Older versions of the Plus Utility do not support the password encryption required by V1.00.10 firmware.
Bug Fixes:
- Fixed the issue that device broadcasts loop detection packets periodically even when the feature is disabled.
Limitations:
- Cable Test is designed to work specifically with Category 5 (CAT-5) cable. Incorrect test result may be shown if different type of cable is used.
- The accuracy of the Cable Test is within 5 meters. So, testing with cable shorter than 5 meters may yield incorrect result.
Notes:
- When "Block Unknown Multicast" is enabled, packets with the following destination addresses will also be blocked: 01:00:5E:00:00:xx and 33:33:xx:xx:xx:xx
