Release Notes for CeraOS 12.0: IP-20 All-Indoor and Split-Mount Products

1. Introduction
The IP-20 series includes a variety of high capacity wireless backhaul products.
The IP-20 series provides backhaul solutions that can be used separately or
combined to form integrated backhaul networks or network segments.
The IP-20 and IP-50 series can be categorized by the following general node
configuration types:
• All-Indoor – An all-indoor node consists of an Indoor Unit (IDU) and one or
more Radio Frequency Units (RFUs), both of which are placed in an indoor
location. Each radio interface on the IDU is connected to an RFU via a Radio
Modem Card (RMC) or Radio Interface Card (RIC), and each RFU is connected
to an antenna via a flexible waveguide.
• Split-Mount – A split-mount node consists of an IDU and one or more RFUs,
where the RFUs are located outdoors and connected to their antennas using
either a direct mount or a remote mount via a flexible waveguide.
• All-Outdoor – An all-outdoor node consists of a unit in which the IDU and RFU
functionality is combined in a single unit. This unit is located outdoors and is
connected to one or more antennas, using either a direct mount or a remote
mount via a flexible waveguide.
This Release Notes document covers the IDU-based IP-20 and IP-50 products used
in split-mount nodes (including vertical all-indoor). These products are:
• IP-20N
• IP-20A
• IP-20F
• IP-20G
The all-outdoor IP-20 products (IP-20C, IP-20C-HP, IP-20S, IP-20E, and IP-20V) are
covered in a separate Release Notes document.
All-outdoor IP-50 products are covered in their own Release Notes document.

1.1 Product Overview

This section provides a brief overview of the products described in this document.
A separate Technical Description is available for each product, providing a full
description of the individual product and its specifications.

1.1.1 IP-20N
IP-20N is a highly modular and flexible cellular backhaul product that is optimized
for nodal deployment, with a small footprint, high density, and a high degree of
scalability and availability. An IP-20N product is based on a chassis, which is
provided in sizes that fit a single rack unit or two rack units, and which contains
five or ten slots for any mix of Ethernet, TDM, and radio cards.
With RIC-D, the new Radio Interface Card released in CeraOS 10.0, IP-20N can be
used with MultiCore RFU-D, MultiCore high-power RFU-D-HP, E-Band RFU-E.
With RMC-B and RMC-A, IP-20N can be used with RFU-C and 1500HP/RFU-HP.
IP-20N is suitable for both short-haul and long-haul applications. Long-haul
networks can easily be built by deploying nodes consisting of IP-20N IDUs using
RFU-D-HP, RFU-HP, or 1500HP high-power RFUs to achieve high capacity multi-
carrier networks.
IP-20N and IP-20A also support vertical all-indoor configurations with RFU-D-HP.

1.1.2 IP-20A
Designed uniquely for the North American market, IP-20A enables operators to
deploy high capacity, long-haul microwave systems in locations where rack space
and shelter real-estate are limited. IP-20A is based on the IP-20N hardware and
software package, customized to operate according to ANSI (FCC) standards.
With RIC-D, IP-20A can be used with MultiCore RFU-D, MultiCore high-power
RFU-D-HP and E-Band RFU-E.
With RMC-B and RMC-A, IP-20A can be used with RFU-C, RFU-A, and 1500HP/RFU-HP.
IP-20A is suitable for both short-haul and long-haul applications. Long-distance
networks can easily be built by deploying nodes consisting of IP-20A IDUs using
RFU-D-HP, RFU-A, RFU-HP, or 1500HP high-power RFUs to achieve high capacity
multi-carrier networks.

1.1.3 IP-20F
IP-20F is a split-mount edge node that delivers multi-Gbps radio capacity to the
transport network. It supports up to five radio carriers, and provides operators
with the simplicity that comes with deploying a very compact, fixed configuration
node, helping operators to meet their operational efficiency targets.
An IP-20F IDU contains:
• 4 x 1 GbE combo interfaces (GbE 1-4/SFP 1-4)
• 1 x 2.5/1 GbE combo interface (2.5GE6/SFP6)
• Two combo (RJ-45 or SFP) radio interfaces (RFU1 and RFU 2)

Page 7 of 126

Ceragon Proprietary and Confidential

Release Notes for CeraOS 12.0: IP-20 All-Indoor and Split-Mount Products

• 1 x radio or 2.5/1 GbE combo interface (RFU3/SFP5, RFU3/2.5GE5)

For TDM traffic, IP-20F includes a 16 x E1/DS1 interface. IP-20F is hardware-ready
for future support of two STM-1/OC-3 interfaces via a rear-mounted module.
IP-20F can be used with MultiCore RFU-D, MultiCore high-power RFU-D-HP and
E-Band RFU-E.

1.1.4 IP-20G
IP-20G is a compact, split-mount hauling solution for edge and ring nodes. Its fixed
configuration and low power consumption make it simple to install and maintain.
Hosting the common capabilities of the IP-20 platform, it provides a cost-
effective, reliable, and flexible hauling solution. IP-20G provides one or two radio
interfaces, six Ethernet interfaces, and optionally a 16-channel E1/T1 interface.
IP-20G can be used with RFU-C, 1500HP/RFU-HP, and RFU-A.

2. Software Package
The IP-20 IDU software is released as a zipped file.
CAUTION! Do not modify the zipped software package in any way! The
system will not be damaged, but the ZIP file will be unusable if changed.
The software components can be viewed via the Web-based Element
Management System (EMS) after software installation.
Different software packages are used for different product groups and cannot be
used interchangeably. Make sure to use the correct software package for the
product type you are using.
Each software package name includes the name of the product group, the
software release number, and the build number (indicated by the placeholder
“xyz” in the examples below). Note that IP-20N and IP-20A software packages are
distinguished by TCC type. Units with TCC-U must use the TCC-U software package
(IP20N_IP20A_TCCU_11.9Bxyz.zip). Units with other TCC types must use the
software package without TCCU in the file name (IP20N_IP20A_12.0Bxyz.zip).
The following are the IP-20 and IP-50 product groups:
• IP50C_12.0.0.0.0.366.zip

3. New and Modified Features

This section describes features that have been added or modified in CeraOS 12.0.

3.1 TLSv1.3 Support and Cipher Strengthening

From CeraOS 12.0, IP-20 products support TLSv1.3, in addition to supporting
TLSv1.2, TLSv.1.1, and TLSv1.0. SSLv3 is no longer supported.
In addition, the list of supported ciphers for SSH, SFTP, and HTTPS has been
updated so that only strong ciphers are supported. For a list of supported ciphers,
see Annex A – Supported Ciphers for Secured Communication Protocols.
Note: Because of this update, HTTPS Strong Mode (HTTPS Cipher Hardening) is
no longer necessary and is no longer supported.

3.2 Access Control Lists

CeraOS 12.0 adds the ability to define rules to filter management traffic, i.e.,
traffic destined to the logical management interface. This includes both in-band
and out-of-band management traffic. These rules are added to an access control
list. IP-20 devices maintain separate access control lists for IPv4 addresses and
IPv6 addresses. Each list can include up to 40 rules.
Access control rules can be based on the following criteria:
• Source IP address
• Network subnet prefix length
• Protocol type
• Destination port
Each rule is either an “accept” rule or a “drop” rule. By using combinations of
accept and drop rules, operators can ensure that only certain traffic is permitted
to ingress the management interface. Traffic received by the logical management
interface is checked against the rules in the access control list in the order of
priority configured by the user, from highest priority to lowest priority. Once a
matching rule is found, the rule is applied to accept or drop the packet, and the
checking stops for that packet.

3.3 Link Bonding Throughput Enhancement

From CeraOS 12.0, customers with Link Bonding configurations can improve Layer
1 Link Bonding efficiency such that the efficiency level will reach between 93% and
95%, depending on the packet sizes.
Link Bonding Throughput Enhancement must be enabled by the user. It is
recommended to enable Link Bonding Throughput Enhancement in all Link
Bonding configurations. Link Bonding Throughput Enhancement can be enabled
on all radio interfaces and RFU-based Multi-Carrier ABC groups that belongs to
the Link Bonding group.
Note: No activation key is required for Link Bonding Throughput Enhancement.
The Link Bonding Throughput Enhancement and L2 Header Compensation settings
must be the same for the main units on both sides of the link. Therefore, for
existing Link Bonding configurations, the changes should be applied in the
following order to ensure that management is not lost:
1. Enable Link Bonding Throughput Enhancement on the remote unit.
2. Enable Link Bonding Throughput Enhancement on the local unit.
3. Modify the L2 Header Compensation (decrease by 12) on the remote unit.
4. Modify the L2 Header Compensation (decrease by 12) on the local unit.
For detailed instructions on performing these configurations, see Section 6.4.4,
Enabling Link Bonding Throughput Enhancement, in the User Guide for IP-20N and
IP-20A, CeraOS 12.0.

3.4 New MRMC Scripts for BBC Space Diversity – 28/30 MHz and
56/60 MHz (RFU-D and RFU-D-HP)
CeraOS 12.0 introduces the following new MRMC scripts for BBC Space Diversity
configurations with RFU-D and RFU-D-HP:
• MRMC Script 4930 (28/30 MHz)
• MRMC Script 4960 (56/60 MHz)

3.5 Authentication Enhancement – Password Strength

Enforcement
CeraOS 12.0 includes stricter rules for password strength when the Enforce
Password Strength option is selected. When the Enforce Password strength option
is selected, user passwords must meet the following criteria. The latter three rules
are newly added in CeraOS 12.0:
• Password length must be at least eight characters.
• Password must include characters of at least three of the following character
types: lower case letters, upper case letters, digits, and special characters.
• No character can be repeated three times, e.g., aaa, ###, 333.
• No more than two consecutive characters can be used, e.g., abc, DEF, 123.
• The user name string cannot appear in the password, either in order or in
reverse order. For example, if the user name is “admin”, neither of the
following passwords are allowed: %Asreadmin!df23 and %Asrenimda!df23.
For instructions on enabling the Enforce Password Strength option, see Section
14.3, Configuring the Password Security Parameters, in the User Guide for the
product you are using, CeraOS 12.0.

3.6 Authentication Enhancement – Default Password Change

Alarm
It is recommended to change the default Admin password as soon as possible. If
the default Admin password is not changed within ten days after the first unit
boot up, or the first unit boot up after upgrading to CeraOS 12.0 or higher from an
earlier CeraOS version, an alarm is raised:
• 5051 – 'admin' user password needs to be changed (Alarm)
Note: If the system reboots within ten days, the 10 day count starts over.
For instructions on changing the default Admin password, see Section 2.4,
Changing Your Password, in the User Guide for the product you are using, CeraOS
12.0.

3.7 Remote Radio Mute with Timer

CeraOS 12.0 introduces the ability to mute the remote radio with a timer. This
ensures that if the management connection with the remote unit is lost while the
remote radio unit is muted, the remote radio will be unmuted at the defined
interval and the connection will not be permanently lost.
The remote mute timer is set in minutes, from one minute to one day. The default
value is 10 minutes.
For configuration instructions, see Configuring the Remote Radio Parameters in
the User Guide for the product you are using, CeraOS 12.0:
• IP-20N and IP-20A: Section 8.4

3.8 TCC-U Hardware Modification (P/N 24-T014-2)

At approximately the same time as the CeraOS 12.0, release, Ceragon is issuing a
TCC-U hardware modification (P/N 24-T014-2). 24-T014-2 supports exactly the
same capabilities as 24-T014-1, and both use the same marketing model, IP-20
TCC-U. From approximately mid-June, 2022, Ceragon will begin shipping 24-T014-
2 instead of the existing 24-T014-1.
All CeraOS functionality is exactly the same for both TCC-U versions. However,
TCC-U 24-T014-2 requires CeraOS 12.0 or higher, and cannot be used with any
older CeraOS versions. TCC-U 24-T014-2 cards will be supplied with CeraOS 12.0
or higher.
CeraOS 12.0 and higher will support both 24-T014-1 and 24-T014-2. Therefore,
there will be no software compatibility issues for customers using 24-T014-1.
Note: In addition to CeraOS 12.0, a special patch for CeraOS 11.7 is available for
customers that require this CeraOS version. This patch (CeraOS
11.7.0.0.0.411) supports TCC-U 24-T014-2 as well as 24-T014-1.
TCC-U 24-T014-2 is fully compatible over the link with TCC-U 24-T014-1. In
addition, 24-T014-1 and 24-T014-2 are fully interoperable with each other in the
same chassis in TCC redundancy configurations.
Configuration files from a unit with 24-T014-1 can be copied to units with the 24-
T014-2 and vice versa. In other words, there is full compatibility between the two
TCC-U models with respect to configuration files.
The only limitation to note is that configuration files can be copied to devices
running newer CeraOS versions but not to devices running older CeraOS versions
than the device from which the configuration file was taken. This is a general
limitation, and is not related to the TCC-U hardware.
Note that 24-T014-2 supports the use of the second RFU interface on a RIC-D
(RFU2/2.5 GE2) in slots 7 and 8. 24-T014-1 and 24-T014-2 both support the use of
RFU2/2.5 GE2 in 5, 6, 9, and 10. For details, see Section 2.1.4.3, Configurations
Using Second RIC-D RFU Interface (RFU2/2.5 GE2), in the Technical Description for
IP-20N and IP-20A.
For instructions on backing up and restoring configuration files, see Section 7.8,
Backing Up and Restoring Configurations, in the User Guide for IP-20N and IP-20A.
For instructions on backing up and restoring configuration files via NetMaster, see
Section 2.9.3, How to backup and restore NE configuration, in the User Guide for
NetMaster.

This section describes significant feature requirements and limitations relevant to
CeraOS 11.9.5. For a full description of supported features, refer to the Technical
Description for the specific IP-20 product.

4.1 Feature Release Notes – Ethernet

Table 5: Feature Requirements and Limitations for CeraOS 12.0 - Ethernet
Feature Issues Applicability Notes

Electrical SFPs • Support for electrical SFP modules with TCC-U is planned for future IP-20N Added in 11.9.5
release IP-20A
• SyncE is not supported with electrical SFP modules.
Ethernet • For units with TCC-U, traffic for which the Destination MAC Address is IP-20N
Services unknown and Multicast traffic, when routed to a Multipoint service, is IP-20A
sent to all service points including the ingress service point. Although
traffic sent back to the ingress point is dropped, it consumes port
resources and scheduling credits, affecting Scheduler operation for real
egress traffic towards that interface. This traffic is also counted in the
Egress CoS statistics for the ingress port.

This means that up to 50% of egress traffic towards the Ethernet port
receiving unknown and Multicast traffic might be dropped.

If there are only two service points in the service, this issue can be
avoided by configuring the service as a Point-to-Point service.
ETH-BN • ETH-BN cannot be used with HSB protection groups. All
• When used with IP-20G unit redundancy, the reported bandwidth may
be inaccurate when switchover is in effect.
• When used with IP-20N and IP-20A, ETH-BN is only supported with CSO,
not HSO.
• If CFM MEPs are being used, the MEL for ETH-BN must be set to a value
greater than the MEG level of the MEP. Otherwise, the BNM frames will
be dropped. – this is correct.
• If CFM MEPs are not being used, the MEL for ETH-BN must be set to a
value greater than 0. Otherwise, the BNM frames will be dropped.
• ETH-BN is not supported with RMC-A.

TCC-B2-XG-MC • The TCC-B2-XG-MC cannot be used with software versions prior to 8.2. IP-20N
• By default, the TCC-B2-XG-MC is configured in 1 Gbps mode, which IP-20A
enables it to support Multi-Carrier ABC groups with capacity of up to 1
Gbps. From CeraOS 8.2.5, the capacity can be set to 2.5 Gbps by user
configuration. Changing the Multi-Carrier ABC capacity supported by the
TCC-B2-XG-MC results in a system reset.
• When the TCC-B2-XG-MC is set to 2.5 Gbps mode, certain slots must be
dedicated to Multi-Carrier ABC and cannot be used in any other mode of
operation. These slots should be populated with cards that can be used
in Multi-Carrier ABC mode (RIC-D, RMC-B, and LIC-STM1/OC3-RST (Bug

Mode, and Section 1.3.5, Additional Slot Guidelines, in the User Guide for
IP-20N and IP-20A.
• 2.5 Gbps mode is only supported with Multi-Carrier ABC Group 1 and
Group 3.
• Header De-Duplication cannot be used with a Multi-Carrier ABC group in
2.5 Gbps mode.
• When configuring a unit with a TCC-B2-XG-MC, it is recommended to
configure a radio card in Slot 3 before configuring any other cards.
TCC-B2 • The TCC-B2 cannot be used with software versions prior to 8.0. IP-20N

Main Card • The same TCC type must be populated in Slot 1 and Slot 11. IP-20N (2RU)
(TCC) • The same software version must be running on both TCCs. IP-20A (2RU)
Redundancy
• T4 synchronization output is not supported with TCC redundancy.
• Configuration alignment between the TCCs can only be performed by
manually issuing “copy-to-mate” which aligns the configuration between
the TCCs. A dynamic configuration alignment is not available, meaning,
any configuration change at the active TCC should be manually aligned
by issuing “copy-to-mate”.
• When TCC redundancy is provisioned, all configurations should be
performed via the active TCC, excluding activation key installation. For
more details, see Section 3 of the IP-20N and IP-20A User Guide,
Configuring TCC Redundancy.
• For cold switchover (not HSO), switchover issues chassis cold reset.
• Removal of the active TCC is not supported and does not trigger TCC
switchover. If it is necessary to remove the TCC, the user must first
perform a manual or forced switch to the other TCC.
• The standby TCC does not collect PMs. If switchover takes place and the
standby TCC becomes the active TCC, PM counting begins from zero on
that TCC. When the TCC that was originally active becomes active again,
PM counting resumes from the point of the first switchover. In other
words, each TCC counts PMs only when it is active independently of the
other TCC.
• TCC Redundancy is not supported with External XPIC using RIC-D and
RFU-D or RFU-D-HP.
1+1 HSB-SD There is a specific process for adding and deleting 1+1 HSB-SD groups. IP-20N
This process is described in the IP-20 User Guides and must be IP-20A
followed in the correct sequence. Failure to do so may render the unit IP-20G
inoperable and require reset to the unit’s factory default

2+2 HSB-SD To successfully delete a 2+2 HSB-SD Multi-Carrier ABC group (with IP-20N
RMC-B), you must first remove both 1+1 HSB-SD groups from the IP-20A
Multi-Carrier ABC group, then delete at least one of the 1+1 HSB-SD
groups from the system entirely.
• To delete a 1+1 HSB-SD group using the Web EMS, go to Radio > Groups
> Radio Protection, select the group, and click Delete.
• To delete a 1+1 HSB-SD group using the CLI, use the following command:
root>radio protection delete group <group#>
Failure to follow this procedure will cause the Multi-Carrier ABC page

• IEEE-1588v2 PTP Optimized Transport cannot be used with Layer 1 Link
Bonding groups unless the group includes one or more IP-50 and/or IP-
20 all-outdoor units. IEEE-1588v2 PTP support for Link Bonding groups
that include only RIC-Ds and/or RMC-Bs is planned for future release.
• For Link Bonding configurations that use IP-50 and/or IP-20 all-outdoor
units, 1588 PTP performance according to Class C requires a Protocols
connection of 10 Gbps. A 10 Gbps Protocols connection is optional for IP-
50E and IP-50C. It is not available for IP-20C and IP-20C-HP, which use a 1
Gbps Protocols connection. When the Protocols connection is 1 Gbps,
1588 PTP performance is according to Class A.
• Resiliency protocols (MSTP, G.8032) cannot be configured on members
of a Link Bonding group, but can be configured on the group.
• Service OAM (Y.1731) cannot be configured on members of a Link
Bonding group, but can be configured on the group.
• RMC-A cannot be used with Layer 1 Link Bonding groups.
• The maximum supported traffic ratio between members of a Link
Bonding group is 1:100. Exceeding this ratio (which is very rare) may lead
to degradation of the link.
• When the Protocols cable is connected to a LIC-X-E4-Elec or a LIC-X-E4-

XPIC • XPIC cannot be configured for RMCs in slots 2 and 12. Therefore, no IP-20N
more than four XPIC groups can be configured and used on a single IP- IP-20A
20N or IP-20A unit. This limitation applies to all RMC types. For slot
guidelines, refer to Section 1.3.3, Adjacent Pair Guidelines, in the User
Guide for IP-20N and IP-20A.
External XPIC • In External XPIC configurations, the capacity of each carrier is limited to IP-20N
600 Mbps per member. IP-20A
• External XPIC is not supported with TCC Redundancy.
RF Loopback For reliable loopback results, the loopback should performed with the All
modulation at 1024 QAM or lower.
Setting radio loopback, either RF or IF, will cause full loss of the end-
to-end traffic and in-band management to remote units. This is the
case whether the loopback is on a single 1+0 radio link or on a
member of a Multi-Carrier ABC group. To avoid permanent loss of
traffic and in-band management, it is recommended to set a loopback
timeout.
The TX or RX frequencies should not be changed while radio loopback
is active. Doing so will prevent the radio link from being re-established
after the loopback has finished.

5.4 Radio Options for IP-20 Products

An IP-20 split-mount or all-indoor system consists of an indoor unit (IDU) and any
of the following radio frequency units (RFUs):
• For IP-20F, and IP-20N, or IP-20A with RIC-D, the following RFUs can be
connected to the IDU via optical fiber or electrical CAT-5/6 cables:
RFU-D – MultiCore RFU that operates in the 6-42 GHz frequency range,
supporting channel bandwidth of 7-112 MHz and modulations of BSPK to
4096 QAM.
RFU-D-HP – High-Power MultiCore RFU that operates in the 4-11 GHz
frequency range, supporting channel bandwidth of 7-112 MHz and
modulations of BSPK to 4096 QAM.
• For IP-20G, and IP-20N or IP-20A using RMC-A or RMC-B, the following RFUs
can be connected to the IDU via coaxial cables:
RFU-C – Operates in the 6 to 42 GHz frequency range, supporting channel
bandwidth of 3.5-60 MHz and modulations from QPSK to 2048 QAM.
RFU-C and RFU-Ce require RFU-C software version: 2.17.
1500HP and RFU-HP – 1500HP and RFU-HP are high transmit power RFUs
designed for long-haul applications with multiple carrier traffic. Together
with their unique branching design, 1500HP/RFU-HP can chain up to five
carriers per single antenna port and ten carriers for dual port, making
them ideal for Trunk or Multi Carrier applications. The 1500HP/RFU-HP
can be installed in either indoor or outdoor configurations.
RFU-HP requires RFU software version: 5.14.
1500HP requires RFU software version 8.13a2.
RFU-A (including RFU-Ae/Aep) – Supported with IP-20A and IP-20G.
RFU-A is a high transmit power RFU designed for compact long-haul
applications. RFU-A offers a low scale trunk solution with up to four radio
carriers and operates in the frequency range of 5.8, 6, 7, 8, and 11 GHz.14
RFU-A requires RFU software version: 5.14.
Note: IP-20 software and firmware releases are provided in a single bundle that
includes software and firmware for all components and card types
supported by the system, including RFUs. For instructions on software
installation and upgrade, see Section 4.6 of the User Guide, Upgrading the

6.3 IP-20G Interoperability with other Ceragon Products

IP-20G is interoperable over the radio link with IP-20N and IP-20A aggregation
nodes using RMC-B cards. The units on both sides of the link must use the same
CeraOS version. Interoperability with limited functionality is provided between
units using CeraOS 12.0 and units using CeraOS 11.9 and 11.9.5, only for the sake
of upgrading from the remote side of the link.
In addition, this release supports 1+0 links between IP-20S and IP-20G units on 10,
20, 28, and 30 MHz channels using non-XPIC scripts without ATPC, and without
Multi-Carrier ABC.

7. Version Upgrade Compatibility

Support for legacy CeraOS releases will be provided for up to two years after the
release. Customers using older CeraOS versions are encouraged to upgrade their
devices to newer CeraOS versions that fall within this two-year support window.
Except where otherwise noted, upgrade compatibility to the current CeraOS
release is limited to two years. That is, versions that were released more than two
years before the current release will not be upgradable to the current release, but
rather, will require upgrade to an intermediate release, then further upgrade to
the current release. This also applies to backward compatibility.
Accordingly, support and upgrade compatibility are as follows:
• CeraOS 11.1 and older versions are no longer be supported.
• CeraOS 11.3 and later versions can be upgraded to CeraOS 12.0. Older
versions cannot be upgraded to CeraOS 12.0, but rather, must be upgraded to
intermediate versions, which can then be upgraded to CeraOS 12.0.
Software versions 7.9 and higher can be upgraded directly to versions 8.5.5
through 9.7.
The same rules apply for backward compatibility.
When an upgrade requires multiple steps, you must perform each step on all units
in the link before proceeding to the next step.
Failure to follow these instructions will cause critical loss of functionality
requiring RMA at the customer’s expense.
The following are supported upgrade paths to CeraOS 12.0:
• From version 7.2: 7.2 > 7.5.5 > 7.7.5 > 8.0 > 10.5 > 11.5 > 12.0
• From version 7.5: 7.5 > 7.7 > 7.9 > 10.5 > 11.5 > 12.0
• From version 7.7: 7.7 > 7.9 > 10.5 > 11.5 > 12.0
• From version 7.7.5: 7.7.5 > 8.0 > 10.5 > 11.5 > 12.0
• From version 7.9: 7.9 > 10.5 > 11.5 > 12.0
Please note the following specific product limitations:
• IP-20F was first released with CeraOS 10.0. Older CeraOS versions are not
supported with IP-20F.
• IP-20G was first released with CeraOS 7.7. Older CeraOS versions are not
supported with IP-20G.
Installing a CeraOS version that is older than the versions listed above will cause
critical loss of functionality requiring RMA at the customer’s expense.

Release Notes for CeraOS 12.0: IP-20 All-Indoor and Split-Mount Products

If it is planned to upgrade an IP-20N, IP-20A, or IP-20G unit to 8.3 or higher, and

the unit currently runs or at one time ran versions 7.7, 7.7.5, or 7.7.7, the
following steps must be performed:
1 Upgrade first to release 8.2, according to the steps listed in the compatibility
matrixes below.
2 For IP-20N and IP-20A only: While the unit is running release 8.2, run the
following CLI command for each slot with a single radio carrier, i.e., each radio
carrier not assigned to a Multi-Carrier ABC group:
root> platform shelf-manager admin set slot <slot> state disable

3 While the unit is running release 8.2, run the following CLI command for each
single radio carrier, i.e., each radio carrier not assigned to a Multi-Carrier ABC
group:
root> platform shelf-manager abc mode admin set slot <slot> port
<port> state disable

So, for example, to run these commands on RMCs in slots 3 and 4 of an IP-20N
unit, run the following commands:
root> platform shelf-manager admin set slot 3 state disable
root> platform shelf-manager admin set slot 4 state disable
root> platform shelf-manager abc mode admin set slot 3 port 1 state
disable
root> platform shelf-manager abc mode admin set slot 4 port 1 state
disable

4 Continue the upgrade process to version 8.3 or higher

7.1 Across-the-Link Version Compatibility

From CeraOS 10.9.5, full interoperability over the air is supported between the
current CeraOS version and the last three major CeraOS versions. This means that
CeraOS 12.0 is interoperable over the air with CeraOS 11.9.5, 11.9, 11.7.5,
11.7,and 11.5.
For these purposes, a “major” release is considered a release with two rather than
three initial non-zero numerals in its version number.
Please note that with CeraOS 12.0, MRMC script 4901 (28 MHz, BBC Space
Diversity) is not backwards compatible with previous CeraOS versions. For links
using this script, make sure to upgrade both sides of the link to CeraOS 12.0. If in-
band management is being used, make sure to upgrade the remote side of the
link first, then the local side.
Please note also that AES-256 payload encryption cannot be used in a link in
which CeraOS 10.9.5 or higher is used on one side of the link with a lower version
on the other side of the link. For links using AES, make sure to upgrade both sides
of the link to CeraOS 10.9.5 or higher. If in-band management is being used, make
sure to upgrade the remote side of the link first, then the local side.
Although interoperability over the air is supported between different CeraOS
versions, it is recommended to work with the same CeraOS version on both sides
of the link. Different versions should only be used temporarily, for purposes of
upgrading both sides of the link to the same CeraOS version.
