Link-Live Release Notes v9.4

These Link-Live Release Notes briefly describe the new features and enhancements included in the release.

NOTE: Certain features and enhancements are only available for specific NetAlly testers. See sub-headings. Many advanced Link-Live analysis features are only available to active AllyCare Pro customers.

Version 9.4 New Features & Enhancements

This release expands access control and device management, with SAML single sign-on, QR code claiming, and Nmap push-down to v3.0 testers. New result types and data displays add Ping results from your testers, LANBERT graphs, and SFP details, alongside survey export and reporting improvements, tightened permissions, and a broad set of minor refinements.

Security Testing: Nmap Push-Down

For CyberScope Testers and Active AllyCare Pro Customers

Nmap solutions can now be pushed down to NetAlly testers running v3.0 or later. CyberScope units can always receive Nmap push-downs. Other testers must be running v3.0 and have AllyCare Pro.

NOTE: LinkRunner AT 1500 and LinkRunner AT 3000 units do not support Nmap push-down.

Device Management and Claiming

  • QR Code Claiming – Units can now be claimed by scanning a QR code that appears in a pop-up dialog on unclaimed NetAlly testers. Select Claim Now during the startup process or in the Link-Live app, and scan the code with another device. The image below shows an example of the claiming QR code screen:

  • Auto-Select on Claim – A newly claimed unit is selected automatically when the claim completes, so follow-up steps such as customizing notifications apply to the right unit.

  • Nearest Switch Information – Test Accessory results now include Nearest Switch information.

Results and Data

  • LANBERT Graphs – Link-Live now supports uploading and displaying LANBERT graphs.

  • Ping Results – Ping test results can now be uploaded from NetAlly testers and viewed in Link-Live.

  • SFP Information – New SFP transceiver information is displayed in Link-Live.

Wi-Fi, AirMapper, and Analysis

  • Export an Unprocessed Survey – Surveys can now be exported before they have been processed.

  • Annotation Legend in Reports – Survey PDF reports now include a legend identifying annotations, AP names, and interferers, numbered to match the heatmap.

    The heatmap Comment dialog is now called New Annotation. Hold Ctrl and click on a heatmap to add an Annotation.

User Management and Security

  • Single Sign-On with SAML – Organizations that use a SAML identity provider can now sign in through Sign in with SSO on the Link-Live sign-in page, alongside the existing Google and Microsoft options. Enabling SSO requires coordinating with NetAlly to exchange configuration between your identity provider and Link-Live. Contact NetAlly to set it up for your organization.

  • Read-Only and Admin Restrictions – Restrictions for Read-Only vs. Admin users have been tightened across the product.
