Cisco CMX Engage 3.2.5 Release Notes

CMX Engage Dashboard

The following new features are added to the CMX Engage Dashboard:

SMS Notification

In the Engagement Rule, the Via SMS option will now be having the following features:

• All the variables that you can add to the message will be listed below the message text box. Previously, the variables were shown in a drop-down list.
• Now the variables get added at the cursor location thus enables you to add variables at any part of the message.
• The characters are counted based on the unicode characters entered. If there are no variables added to the message, the exact character count is shown. If any variable is added, approximate character count is shown. Based on the characters count, SMS count is calculated. An SMS can have a maximum of 160 characters. If the character count crosses 160, the remaining content will be sent as another SMS. The SMS count for the message will be shown at the bottom of the text box.
• When you add the variables and text in non-GSM characters, that content is highlighted with a background color. The message with non-GSM characters are sent as unicode SMS. An unicode SMS can have upto 70 characters.

The new Via SMS UI is applicable for both consumers and business users.

Import/Configure SSID from the Captive Portal Rule Section

You can now import/configure the SSID when creating or editing the captive portal rule. In the Create Captive Portal Rule page, the “connected to” drop-down list will have a “Configure SSID” option using which you can import /configure the SSID. When you select the Configure SSID option, you are redirected to the Import/Configure SSID window.

In the earlier version of the CMX Engage, a warning message used to appear when you try to create a Captive Portal Rule without importing the SSIDs.

Create Portal from the Captive Portal Rule Section

You can now create portals when creating or editing the captive portal rule. In the Captive Portal Rule page, in the Actions area, the Show Captive Portal drop-down list will display a “Create Portal” option. When you select the Create Portal option, you are redirected to the Create Portal window, where you can create the portal.

CMX Engage with WLC

In the Manage Locations page, for the Add a Wireless network option, a new option CUWN-WLC is now available. This option enables you to use the CMX Engage with CUWN without installing the Cisco CMX. You just need to have a WLC to use the CMX Engage with CUWN.

If you select the CUWN-WLC option, the list of the WLCs added will be listed. When you import a WLC, the associated assess points also will be imported. During each CMX Engage login, the WLC and its access points will synchronize with the latest WLC information.

The WLC is added as a network node and it doesn’t have any floors. You can add only zones under a WLC network.
