The imported calendars are displayed in the Cisco Spaces: Space Manager application.

Connector2 Docker Version 2.0.670

  • Cisco Spaces: Connector intermittent data drop issue is fixed. When there is a high volume of traffic entering the system and the Connector must expand its data channels, intermittent data losses are noticed at the Connector.

  • The device (for example Wireless Controller) credentials are printed as part of the failure process when you add a device. This issue is fixed and the device details are not displayed in failure conditions.

  • Access Point count synchronization to cloud issue is fixed. This is a unique scenario in which the Netconf response from the wireless controller contains special characters.
