New features and Enhancements

1. Web interface improvements. Now looks and feels like Plus & Pro products. Added notes for FAQ on some settings.
2. Egress rate based upon configured speed for bandwidth management/QoS implementation from internal switch-port to modem.
3. Egress margin to configure the overhead to allow above the set speed for QoS. Defaults to 10, but can be increased to handle greater numbers of smaller packets or decreased for enhanced ban dwidth management.
4. New messaging feature for RPS to more reliably bring ports back on after rps off.
5. New SNMP OIDs for egress rate, ACM profiles, RF in/out port rate, standby status, etc.
6. Apex Plus compatible speed binaries so Apex and Apex Plus may be used interchangeably for Ethernet only links.
7. Route, tg_reboot & powercycle added to debug mode.
8. Validate IP address fields to prevent against invalid entry.
9. Syslog filtering to display only a subset of the stored data.
10. IBM info added to sysinfo for easier viewing and saving of configuration.

 Bug Fixes

1. Config import caused ACM to not function properly.
2. Web interface password can now be changed if the old one contains special characters.
3. Siglevel improvements, including showing power set by ATPC.
