This release does not include LX40 FirstNet certification – but we do expect to receive the LX40 FirstNet certification later in the year.

Notes About This Release:
Note: Devices manufactured on ALEOS 4.14.0 or later or devices that are reset to factory default on ALEOS 4.14.0 or later have the ACEmanager local access restricted to HTTPS only. ACEmanager should then be accessed using the default 9443 port: https://192.168.13.31:9443/
Note: Sierra Wireless recognizes that our customers deploy devices in a wide range of network environments with varying configurations. It is always good practice to install a new ALEOS release on a few trial devices to ensure that standard operation is maintained within your environment before deploying the new release across your fleet of AirLink devices.
Note: Note: Multiple reboots will occur when upgrading from ALEOS 4.13.0 to 4.14.0. If the upgrade requires a radio module firmware update, the device may be offline for approximately 15 minutes.
Note: A change to DHCP Mode (see LAN on page 7 of attached PDF) restricts the “Auto” setting to the device’s WAN port only. If a device has a non-WAN Ethernet port configured in “Auto” mode, that port will no longer have WAN functionality after upgrading to ALEOS 4.14.0.
Note: WEP security algorithm is not supported when Wi-Fi AP is configured for 5GHz.
