Update by April 27

Our last post made the announcement that the current version, 2.4.108-2, contains some important security updates and the strong recommendation to update your systems.

Please be informed that all systems not updated to at least 2.4.108-2 will no longer be able to connect to the MLU Portal after Sunday, 27th April. This is to ensure the safety and security of all MLU Devices that use the portal.

If you are unable to reach your AirPointer, etc, after this time at your devices web address, then you will need to update.

Stay tuned for the next update, 2.4.110, to be released in May, which will provide a new way to connect.

Important Recordum Security Update

Its been some time since the last update to the Airpointer.tech web site, but this is set to change in 2025, with an exciting year of updates, upgrades and improvements planned.

Firstly, in Q3 of 2024, the latest recordum update was quietly made available to existing customers.  Version 2.4.108-2 ships some important security updates and adds a minor UI update to the web interface (moving the hamburger menu to the left side of the menu bar, among other minor useability tweaks).  The security updates included fix a couple of identified vulnerabilities and provide the base for future security updates.

It is strongly recommended that all systems are updated to version 2.4.108-2.

IMPORTANT - this update is a prerequisite for some internal infrastructure changes coming in the last half of Q1 2025.  Note that any systems that have not been updated to (at least) this version will no longer be able to accessible via the MLU portal at https://[device].recordum.net/

Stay tuned, there will be more to come on the coming updates.

Firmware Upgrade Router

Firmware Upgrade Teltonika Rut950

Firmware Upgrade Teltonika RUT950

Our Router solution provider, Teltonika, has a new Web-User-Interface on their Wiki. Thankfully, they provide an upgrade path for all our delivered systems. We wrote a quick guide on how to upgrade your old legacy systems to this new Firmware (RUT9_R_00.07.01.4).

The upgrade is by choice, but it helps when all parties (Teltonika, mlu-recordum and you) use the same graphical user interface during ticket handling.

See other countries

Traveling can be a bit special during the actual situation, but it is interesting anyhow to meet other people and foreign countries. I enjoyed my stay in Saudi-Arabia a lot, thanks to the great hospitality of Mohamed, Sufyan and the perfect preparation of Tracy.
Thanks a lot

airpointer APP users, pls do an update

Dear airpointer APP users, please do an software update of your airpointer.
After a major change at the certification body we use, it turns out that I had chosen one parameter wrong in my linout software. This stops the communication between the airpointer and the APP server. With a software upgrade this problem is solved and you will have the normal behavior of the airpointer app again.
With best regards, Andreas

By today we need to say good bye to the old SuSE portal

A little history:

Back in 2005 we created a portal service to make connections to airpointer possible using a dynamic IP address. The second function was to speed up communication with the airpointer by coping data from the airpointer to server. With the today’s speed of communication, the last “speed up” customer remained, skipped the old portal service two years ago. Build with the old SuSE of that time and the way the system is working, this server is outdated long ago. Starting in 2009 we are working on a modern Linux solution (a Debian distribution), since 2013 we install this version of software on all airpointer. At the same time the new portal was introduced, in a much easier way to work with. At this time, our SuSE software stack and portal was announced to be discontinued.

What is going on:

Our plan was to turn off the first, SuSE based, portal by end of the year because more and more browsers and other tools are not accepting the old-style security and encryption tools of the server anymore. Unfortunately, a technical issue stops the server a few months earlier than planned.

Are you involved?

If you are using portal.recordum.com to connect to your instrument you are involved. All other customers just need to wait a few days until a update is possible again.

AQI = Air Quality Index

Since a while we have a solution for all customers searching for a easy way to display the results of the air quality measurements to the general public in an understandable form. We implemented an air quality index based on USEPA, EN or German regulation/calculations. The user can choose one of these default setups and can configure this default to her/his needs. You can find an example on our “Garden” airpointer here:

Garden Airpointer AQI

An example how easy the airpointer AQI page can be integrated into your institute’s web page using iframe is shown here:

 AQI Example Site 

The complete documentation how to setup the AQI to your needs you can find here:

If you want this option on your airpointer or your airQlog please ask your distributor for an offer, you will see it is affordable.

With best regards, Andreas
