 |
Caution This upgrade applies only to BBSM 5.0 systems with SP1 or higher installed. |
 |
Note The most current Cisco documentation for released products is available on Cisco Connection Online (CCO) at http://www.cisco.com. The online documents may contain updates and modifications made after the printed documents were released. |
The BBSM 5.0 to 5.1 Upgrade Utility is a Microsoft Windows application that upgrades the BBSM 5.0 SP1 system to BBSM 5.1, build 21. This upgrade utility does the following:
BBSM 5.1 is built on the baseline functionality of BBSM 5.0 with the addition of new features and changes to some existing features. The following sections identify these features and changes. Refer to the Cisco Building Broadband Service Manager Software Configuration Guide for details and configuration requirements.
BBSM version 5.1 offers these new or improved features:
This feature provides high-speed Internet access for event presenters, exhibitors, and attendees. Access Code Management can differentiate hotel conference services by using an access code system that offers bandwidth management and audit reports.
These reports are enhanced to allow the option of viewing each customer's access codes, unused access codes, and the history of used access codes.
BBSD software is included with BBSM 5.1, but it must be installed on a separate server. BBSD cannot be installed on a BBSM server. The BBSD feature enables a central system in the data center to manage remote BBSM systems. The primary functions include:
This feature provides the ability to configure the inter-packet delay, packet size, and ping interval for the port test through an easy-to-use graphical user interface (GUI) on the WEBconfig dashboard.
This feature allows the end user to seamlessly move from one wireless access point to another without having to re-authenticate. A user can move between network hardware such as switch ports or wireless access points in a BBSM network and maintain an active session in the BBSM server. The port hopping feature can be used in either a wireless or wired network layout. When using wireless network architecture, this feature improves the user's experience by allowing mobility between wireless access points with uninterrupted service.
This feature allows a user to quickly access port test information for different BBSM ports. The time of the last port test and the amount of packet loss, if any, are immediately determined for each selected port.
BBSM previously supported only RADIUS Authentication. Version 5.1 adds RADIUS Accounting support, which allows BBSM to automatically transmit accounting records to a RADIUS server. By using the RADIUS NAS identifier combined with a RADIUS session ID, unique records can be tracked across multiple BBSM servers.
This feature allows the end-user to select a bandwidth from a drop-down list.
For an extended stay at a hotel, users can choose different billing methods. They can be charged on a daily basis for one price or for a block of days at a lower daily price.
This feature allows the administrator to assign a maximum number of concurrent sessions, thereby preventing the WAN link from becoming over-subscribed. If a user starts a session that exceeds the configured limit, BBSM redirects the user to a system busy web page that can be customized.
This feature allows web-based printing with network or local printers. KeyView Pro 6.5 software must be purchased and installed to support this feature.
The following changes have been made:
For the BBSM 5.1 server software to work properly, your server must meet these minimum hardware requirements:
|
Caution The minimum hardware requirements from BBSM 5.0 and BBSM 5.1 have changed and are different for single and multiple sites. |
This section describes open caveats in the BBSM 5.0 to 5.1 upgrade.
Hotfixes link on Install Wizard may be inactive
The link to install Microsoft hotfixes may, in some cases, already be inactive on the Install Wizard screen. To ensure that all hotfixes are installed, follow the these steps:
Workaround/Solution: If the link for installing hotfixes is inactive, follow this procedure to activate the link:
2. Click Browse, and locate BBSM 5.0 SP1 Upg.
3. Double-click the Win2Khotfixes folder.
4. Double-click BBSMInstallPatches.bat.
5. Click OK, and wait while all of the Windows 2000 hotfixes are installed.
6. From the Microsoft ISA Server 2000 Hotfix Setup window, click Yes.
7. Click OK to reboot your server.
8. Log on as Administrator using the proper password after your server reboots.
9. Remove the BBSM 5.0 to 5.1 Upgrade Utility CD from the CD-ROM drive.
Upgrade not keeping SMTP forwarding and Transparent proxy settings
There was a known problem in BBSM 5.0 where the SMTP Forwarding IP Address field and the Enable Transparent Proxy checkbox on the Server web page of WEBconfig were not keeping their settings. This problem is fixed in BBSM 5.1.
Workaround/Solution: If these features are being used, reset these fields in WEBconfig after the
BBSM 5.0 to 5.1 upgrade is complete.
Upgrade BBSM Database is active
During Step 4. Install MSDE 2000, of the BBSM 5.0 to 5.1 upgrade, the following link, 5. Upgrade BBSM Database, becomes active and can be selected. The next step of the installation should not be active until the previous step is complete.
Workaround/Solution: Users should run the upgrade in sequence. Do not start the next sequence until the prior one is complete.
RADIUS Accounting checkbox and port # empty
New RADIUS features have been added to BBSM 5.1. After the BBSM server is upgraded, the Enable Accounting and Port fields on the RADIUS Servers web page of WEBconfig are blank.
Workaround/Solution: If these features are being used, users need to reset these fields in WEBconfig after the upgrade is complete.
This section describes the procedure for upgrading your BBSM 5.0 Server to BBSM 5.1. Follow these steps to begin the installation.
Step 2 From the BBSM 5.0 SP1 Upgrade To BBSM 5.1 wizard, click 1. Upgrade BBSM 5.0.
