New version vsf-fcdc3-1.0.3.2

vsf-fcdc3-1.0.3.2 is the first version released for General Availability.

vsf-fcdc3-1.0.3.2 fixes interoperability with FCDC1/2 when multiple clusters(MTN-2853).

Several improvements has been made to the web interface. All relevant settings are now listed on the front web page. See Changes.txt in zip file for details.

Known issues

The "Backup/Restore settings" function in the web only include a few of the settings.

Important information

Interoperability with TFIX-1/2/3 and FCDC-1/2

FCDC3 is compatible with FCDC1/2 including TFIX and Exigo Ex Access panels, but only after these devices have been upgraded to software version 4.1.3.13 or newer. See https://wiki.zenitel.com/wiki/FCDC-3_-_Backwards_compatibility for more information. In particular, in clusters with mix of FCDC1/2 and FCDC3, one FCDC3 must be set as "CCo".

IGMP snooping / multicast

From vsf-fcdc3-1.0.3.1 IGMP snooping is disabled by default, and add web configuration for enable/disable IGMP snooping. IGMP snooping on FCDC3 only work properly with IGMPv3.

Interoperability with IMT

Upcoming IMT version 1.6.3.0 will support mass upgrade of FCDC3. vsf-fcdc3-1.0.3.0 is the very first version that support mass upgrade from IMT. FCDC3 devices with earlier un-released versions must be manually upgraded via the web.

-* “IGMP querier” should be disabled in all Flowire units
-* “IGMPv2 compatability” should '''never''' be enabled in the Flowire connected to the system switch
-* “IGMPv2 compatability” should '''always''' be enabled in the Flowire connected to the field equipment

-====CCo settings====
-For optimal availability in cluster configurations, use the CCo settings in Flowire web as follows:
-* Set the Flowire connected to the system switch to “CCo”
-* Set the Flowires connected to the field equipment to “Not CCo”
-In Exigo A/B systems, clusters must be connected to either the A or the B system. Flowire does not support redundant connections to devices in a cluster.
-For 1 to 1 Flowire connections with A/B redundancy, we recommend:
-* Leave the Flowires connected to the system switches on “Auto”
-* Set the Flowires connected to the field equipment to “Not CCo”
