### A Faster, Easier & More Reliable Field Experience

Nile Nav v1.4.0 delivers a **smarter, faster, and more intuitive** on-site installation and activation experience. From streamlined bulk port management during Site Discovery to automated device updates, next-gen BLE onboarding, and intelligent switch-readiness checks, every step has been refined to reduce errors and increase confidence. Field teams can now complete installs quicker, with greater accuracy and far less friction.

| **Feature**                           | **Feature Capability**                                                                                                                                  | **User Benefit**                                                                        |
| ------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Bulk Port Management**              | Site Discovery – Add, edit, and group ports by type and speed, including mixed-speed layouts (e.g., 24×10 Gbps + 24×1 Gbps).                            | Faster, cleaner, and more consistent port setup across closets and assets.              |
| **Smart Device Update Workflow**      | Activation – Automatically checks, applies, and validates updates with controlled reboot sequencing to maintain firmware and configuration consistency. | Safer, more predictable, and fully automated update experience at activation.           |
| **Rapid Device Clean-up**             | Activation – BLE command–driven cleanup that clears residual state and performs an instant reboot.                                                      | Devices are reset, clean, and ready for activation in seconds.                          |
| **Next-Gen BLE Device Connectivity**  | Activation – Serial Number–based BLE communication replaces BT-MAC pairing. Fully supports BLE 5.0 and NSW100 onboarding.                               | Faster, more reliable BLE pairing with precise device identity and stable connectivity. |
| **Proactive Gateway Readiness Check** | Activation – Confirms switch uptime ≥5 minutes before allowing Gateway settings push; provides a live countdown and guided prompts if not ready.        | Eliminates failed Gateway configuration attempts with timing-aware, protective checks.  |
| **Improved BLE Experience**           | Activation – Enhanced retry logic, improved stability handling, and smarter error recovery.                                                             | More consistent, predictable activation with fewer interruptions.                       |
| **Seamless NSW100 On-boarding**       | Full installation and activation support for the NSW100 switching platform out-of-the-box.                                                              | Instant, frictionless turn-up for NSW100 deployments.                                   |
