Introduction

The SmartOS 12.6.3.1 software release for Adtran’s Service Delivery Gateway (SDG) products is a major system release that introduces new features and addresses customer issues uncovered in previous code releases.
The release is generally available code. Results obtained during internal testing have been evaluated and the code has been determined to be ready for general availability. Caveats discovered during testing but not addressed in this build are listed in Errata on page 6.
Configuration guides, white papers, data sheets, and other documentation can be found on Adtran’s Support Community, https://supportcommunity.adtran.com. The contents of these release notes will focus on the platforms listed in Supported Platforms on page 4.

Table 2. Supported Voice Soft Switches

Soft Switch
Allianza
Metaswitch
Voiceflex

NOTE
Voiceflex is supported with the following limitations:

• Voiceflex occasionally generates registration response with 0 binding (no Contact header/expiry information).
• NAT with randomized port mapping causes Voiceflex registration response to have multiple bindings (multiple Contact headers).
• No packets are received from Voiceflex when the SDG generates comfort noise packets only.
  Silence suppression needs to be disabled when using Voiceflex.
• SIP INVITE messages from Voiceflex may come too soon after MWI NOTIFY messages, causing a “no ring” issue.

System Notes

SDG SFP Support
The 610 (P/N 1442535F3), 630 (P/N 1287940F1), and BiDi (P/N 1442110G1 & G2) SFPs are supported with the SmartOS 12.6.3.1 release. However, there are performance limitations associated with this support which are outlined below:
NOTE
Only Adtran SFPs are supported on SDG devices at this time.

• The SDX 610 (P/N 1442535F2) is not supported.
• When using a 630 SFP, ensure the firmware is at MXL-24_1-1 or later.
• In some cases, with the SDX 610 GPON SFU ONT, upstream throughput may be limited to a less than expected rate. If the GPON upstream shaper is set between 300 to 1000 Mbps, upstream throughput may be limited to 200 to 300 Mbps in worst case scenarios. This condition can be avoided by setting the GPON upstream shaper to greater than or equal to 1000 Mbps.
• The SDG SFP interface is not hot-swappable so the unit must be powered off prior to installing an SFP module.
• The SDX 630 XGSPON ONU SFP requires a newer version of the SDG 854-(v)6 device to accommodate the larger size SFP. Contact your Adtran sales representative for more details.
• The SDG 8610 is limited to 1Gbps thruput even when using a SFP supporting higher rates such as the SDX 630 XGSPON ONU SFP

SDG WiFi Support
The current SmartOS 12.6 release supports WiFi6E. WiFi7 will be fully supported in SmartOS 12.7 Firmware release on 87xx models. Please contact sales with any questions.
SDG Device Upgrades
In some cases, SDG devices cannot be upgraded on first contact via ACS. Workaround: Reboot the unit and then run the upgrade.
Home Analytics Support
Mosaic Home Analytics is NOT supported in the SDG 8600 and 8700 Series models. In all other SDG 800 Series models, Home Analytics must be disabled if Intellifi is enabled.
