VSF-Turbine 4.9
Release info
Name: VSF-Turbine
Description: VSF-Turbine is a firmware archive for all Turbine Family Intercom stations including devices:
TCIS-x, TKIS-2, TCIV-x, TMIS-x, TFIE-x, TKIE-x, TFIX-x, ECPIR-3P and Exigo IP speakers..
The firmware is delivered in two different ZIP archives:
- sti-4.9.3.x - Used for standard in-field upgrades
- sti-prod-4.9.3.x - Used in production and recovery upgrades
Version: 4.9.2.2
Date: 20.03.2018
Status: Limited Availability
New Features 4.9
SNOW-103 Exigo Network Amplifiers can be connected to Alphacom
- ENA2100-AC, ENA2200, ENA2400-AC, ENA2400-DC can be connected directly to AlphaCom
- Each amplifier channel will behave as an IP station with all features available
- Monitoring of the amplifiers available via the Alphacom event handler and syslog
- Function requires AlphaSys version 12.5.2.0 or later
SNOW-250 Advanced Turbine AVC settings on StationWeb
Exposed advanced AVC settings like thresholds, attack and decay rates, lockout time, etc. on Turbine StationWeb for AVC algorithm parametrization. These options should be used only in case when default AVC behavior needs to be fine tuned and when technician has good understanding about the AVC technology.
SNOW-87 Virtual I/O script on DAK event with reading GPI status
Now we can enable/disable DAK key action (e.g. make call) according to state change on certain GPI. Use case: disable intercom for non-authorized personnel using badge-reader, deny intercom call without vehicle in front of the station (detected by a loop into the floor)
Technical Preview
VSIS-865 Digital Audio Squelch on Far-End audio
New function for silencing audio to be played to speaker, if signal energy is below a configurable threshold level. This can be used to suppress noise when below-desired-level signal is present.
SNOW-229 Secure SIP and Secure RTP for Turbines in SIP mode
Added support on Turbines for SIP over TLS. SIP over TLS encrypts the transport layer using the same method as HTTPS which uses certificates to validate the server. In addition, the Turbines now support SRTP which brings encryption to RTP media (call audio). This means that now both call metadata and call media can be fully encrypted. Note: TCIV H.264 is not supported with SRTP
SNOW-191 Support SIP Early Media during 180-Ringing or 183-Session Progress
Support playing a media during SIP 180-Ringing or SIP 183 Call progress, instead of a locally generated ringing tone. This is a very common setup in iPBX systems where server shall generate a media to be played during session progress and before call is accepted (e.g. Call queued before answered). Note that we do not fully support RFC3960.
Bugfixes and Improvements 4.9.2.0 (LA)
VSIS-1214 Turbine uses SIP over UDP even though configured to use TCP
Turbine sends UDP SIP even though configured to use TCP. Fixed
SNOW-333 Warning for TCIV as Pulse server
New warning added on StationWeb: It is not recommended to use TCIV as Pulse server in a systems with more than 5 registered clients. For such systems please use any other Vingtor-Stentofon IP station type, such as TCIS-x, or TKIS-2.
SNOW-245 Remove Enable full audio output setting from web
The reason this flag was added is because we removed the far end anti clip filter, which caused the station to reboot easily if the received signal was clipped. Now we have enabled anti clip filter and DRC by default - the station will not reboot anymore even if it’s powered from PoE.
Now all TFIE-6 menu settings are also available on StationWeb.
SNOW-141 Exigo Network Amplifiers: Line input forwarding
- Line input off amplifiers can now be routed directly to the output channel without a server being available
- When Line Input Forwarding is enabled, no audio is received from the server - only local audio is allowed
SNOW-109 Exigo panels - Led dimming
- Exigo panels can now set lowest threshold for dimming of LEDs
SNOW-88 Enable all DAK actions for all Turbine stations
All DAK actions are now enabled for all Turbine stations, not filtered anymore by station type.
MTN-1785 Upgrading stations using Pulse Server not working if TFTP server is on another subnet
Fixed.
MTN-1757 Serial registration method does not display correct status
Fixed with displaying proper registration status on StationWeb info Page.
MTN-1432 TFIE-6 Address book- Dir. number not displayed and entries are not in order
Fixed with showing Dir. number and also added options to order by Dir. number or Label/Name (TFIE-6, TCIS-6, TCIV-6)
MTN-1236 TCIS-6 Address book does not support national characters
Fixed with added support for international non-English characters.
MTN-618 Turbine station does not send ARP update during startup.
Replacing a faulty station with static IP address with an identical configured station must wait for the ARP tables of the switches to timeout before register at AlphaCom. This is now fixed with sending ARP update during startup.
MTN-408 802.1X config not properly handling special characters in password
Characters like !#$%&/()=@* are now handled in the password input field for 802.1x.
Security and Improvements 4.9.2.2 (LA)
None
Known Issues 4.9.2.0
MTN-598 IP station fails to register if Hebrew name is too long
More than 12 characters entered causes registration problems
MTN-1073 Group call fails if system previously configured with ZAP
If system was configured with ZAP (VS-IMT Pulse SDK project) and then switched to XML configuration by deleting data.lua file, it is possible that Group Calls shall not work. A workaround is that (1) data.lua file is deleted from all stations including Pulse server - this will reboot stations, and (2) after reboot go to Server configuration -> Save + Apply - this will again reboot all stations.
MTN-1077 Lamp test not functioning on ECPIR-3P and belonging EBMDR-8
Alphacom DAK Lamp test (feature 7874) not implemented on DAK Panel ECPIR-3P and belonging EBMDR-8
MTN-323 Noise from wind on TCIS
Wind may cause powerful acoustic signal on mic that software is not able to filter and at same time keep clear voice. Workaround is to make mechanical filtering or shielding of wind effect on mic.
MTN-268 Relay follow M-key cannot handle quick M
Relay configured to follow M-key does not handle quick press on M-key
MTN-1503 Changing the Detailed Logging setting disables syslog logging
If Detailed Logging is enabled or disabled, the syslog functionality doesn't work - Turbine log messages do not arrive on the syslog server. Workaround: Changing Log level setting for syslog will enable the syslog logging again
VSIS-878 Factory reset does not delete uploaded Script
All uploaded scripts should also be removed on Factory reset
VSIS-1202 TFIE-6 does not display AlphaCom status-messages in Idle
There is no way of knowing if a TFIE-6 is for example forwarded(71,72) or marked absent(77x). Workaround: During commissioning it is possible by Class Of Service programming in AlphaCom to deny access to these services for the TFIE-6
VSIS-1207 Turbine Tone test requires restart to enable it after being disabled
Turbine tone test is disabled by default. If it is enabled and later on disabled, it will require station reboot to enable tone test again. Workaround: Tone test started to work again after rebooting the station.
