Release info

This document provides the release notes for VSF-Turbine 6.1 with incremental bug fix releases. The release notes for VSF-Turbine 6.1 describe new features, improvements and issues fixed after VSF-Turbine 5.1.

Name: VSF-Turbine
Description: VSF-Turbine is a firmware archive for all Turbine Family Intercom stations including devices: TCIS-x, TCIV-x, TKIS-2, TMIS-x, TFIE-x, TKIE-x, TFIX-x, IP-LCM, ECPIR-3P, Exigo IP speakers. Exigo Network Amplifiers (only SIP mode and ICX- AlphaCom mode), and ENA-2060 (only in SIP mode) The firmware is delivered in a ZIP archive:.
Version:

• vsft-6.1.x.x - Used for standard in-field upgrades

Date: 07.04.2021
Status: General Availability Compatibility: Pulse to IC-EDGE System
You can upgrade from Pulse (VS-IS 4.x) to IC-EDGE, but the whole system needs to run with the same Turbine software (VS-IS 5/6).
In an IC-EDGE System, INCA intercoms cannot be used as the Edge Controller.
TCIV video intercoms should not be used as the Edge Controller for systems exceeding 4 devices.
IMT 1.5 or newer can be used for station discovery and upgrade but must not be used to configure IC-EDGE.
Pulse to IC-EDGE Licenses
Pulse licenses will be honored in an IC-EGDE System. This means that when you upgrade firmware from VS-IS 4.x to 5.x/6.x your Pulse licenses will work for IC-EDGE.

The number of free VS station licenses has been increased from 16 to 32 in IC-EDGE. This means that you get an additional 16 VS stations to connect to in IC-EDGE

Both Multisite Trunking and VS-Client are free of charge in IC-EDGE

VSF-TURBINE 6.1.3.0

New Features - Turbine Intercom

MTN-3144 Third button option for hold state.

Added third button option under Direct Access Keys for managing calls that are put on hold. This option is available in SIP and Edge.

MTN-3114 Added functionality to force ringing on both accessory and internal loudspeaker

Force loudspeaker ringing option is available in call settings in all modes. It is disabled by default.

MTN-2956 Whitelist functionality is now added for SIP mode.

If whitelist is enabled on the station callers that are not added to whitelist are rejected.

Improvements - Turbine Intercom

TYR-109 Security hardening for TLS connections and Secure SIP

Security level set to 112 bits of security. As a result RSA, DSA and DH keys shorter than 2048 bits and ECC keys shorter than 224 bits are prohibited. Any ciphersuite using RC4 is also prohibited. SSL version 3 is also not allowed. Compression is disabled.

MTN-3093 Improved Tone test to combat noisy environment and to be able to use in places with multiple stations in the close vicinity

Tone volume is automatically adjusted to suit the ambient noise levels and therefore make it suitable to use it in noisy environment. Further improvement is made for environments like a train where multiple stations are next to each other. This might have caused the intercom with faulty speaker picks up tone from another station doing the test at the same time and wrongly reports success. This is now solved by playing multiple frequency tones.

MTN-2852 Frontboard DAK can now be configured to switch to internal speaker while performing PTT.

This is used as a workaround for issues with headset auto detect. User is able to configure DAK key to send M key as well as switch to internal speaker. This is exposed for TFIX and TFIE stations in call settings of ICX AlphaCom mode.

MTN-2770 SNMP now allows subnet 32 in allowed network

SNMP now allows subnet 32 in allowed network making possible to limit SNMP traffic to only one IP address.

MTN-2693 Added call monitoring options

In SIP mode it is possible to configure SIP OPTIONS timer to monitor established calls. If the remote part in a call is unavailable, the call will automatically be hung up. This option is available in advanced configuration mode. Changed registration handling

The minimum registration time is now 30 seconds. If registration time is configured to be below 60 seconds the registration will fail 15 seconds after initial registration message when the SIP server is not responding.

When station fails to register to a SIP server associated calls which are ringing or queued will now be automatically hung up.

MTN-2689 Additional information shown for uploaded certificates

Uploaded certificates will now show expiry date, issuer and subject.

MTN-1045 Disable scrolling while in call

Stations which have address book and scroll buttons are no longer able to use those buttons while there's an active, incoming or outgoing call.

Fixed issues - Turbine Intercom

MTN-2657 Firewall range for RTP is increased

MTN-2641 One way audio towards Clearcom SIP phones

There was an issue in SDP rtpmap parsing on Zenitel devices which sometimes caused one way audio. This is now resolved.

MTN-2530 Removed C-key enabling of Private/Open mode in SIP/Edge mode

C-key enabling of private/open mode has been removed. IP Flush master and IP Desktop master can do this in the menu.

MTN-2444 ONVIF device model for TCIV-5

ONVIF will now correctly return model type for TCIV-5 stations.

MTN-2435 Group call chime is cut off (IC-EDGE)

When doing group call, the group call chime tone may be cut off right at the end. Issue is fixed.

MTN-2074 TKIE-3 keyboard matrix Vol Up/Down was not working

On the TKIE-3 in AlphaCom mode with keyboard matrix the Volume UP (J9-5 and J9-7) and Volume DOWN (J9-5 and J9-6) was not working. This has been fixed. Other keys are functional.

MTN-1301 Busy Override would fail when remote party is busy

Busy override should now be possible if remote part has dialed digits, is offhook or in emergency group call.
