Corrected Problems
The following problem in version 2.4.02 has been fixed in this release:
Issue 255: Exceptions raised when the exception threshold mask has not been broken.
Changing the input signal type during a measurement could cause exceptions - when
the exception threshold mask has not been broken.
Known Issues
The following are known issues in this release:
Issue 157: Probe ceases communicating after a number of uploads over GSM.
Anti-spamming methods of some mobile operators actively block mobile stations that
attempt to make a certain number of calls over the same cell. At this point, the mobile
station must re-register with the cell; this requires rebooting the probe. This issue is
not expected to affect GPRS.
