February 2017 Update

We at Mist are constantly working on making the Mist experience the best possible experience. So every month you will see new and updated Cloud Features. Here are the updates for February 2017.

Emails

1. Emails are now sent in HTML format, which should avoid your spam filter.

2. Email notifications are now sent out when the following occurs:

  • AP reboots
  • Excessive DNS failures in a short period of time
  • Excessive DHCP failures in a short period of time

These can be enabled and disabled in your Organizations -> Site Configuration screen

 

Policies

1. Policies can now be created to ONLY allow access to specific hostnames.  Any hostname not specifically allowed will be blocked.

In this example, Mist iPod5 will only be allowed to access yahoo.com.

 

BLE

1. Now able to manually change the transmit power of the VBLE Beacon power on both AP41 and BT11.

 

2. BLE Eddystone URL feature is now live.  As long as users have the latest Chrome browser and BLE is enabled on their iOs or Android device, they will be able to receive notifications without an SDK or App.

The notifications can prompt users to download an app to make use of wayfinding and location enabled services.
