    User Manual Note: Starting from the iSMA-B-MAC36NL hardware version 2.1, the passphrase is saved on the SD card. Once the Niagara Framework is upgraded to 4.8 version, the passphrase is reset to “niagara”; therefore, the station will not restart automatically, and it is required to re-enter the passphrase and manually restart the station.
