 +
==Bugfixes and Improvements - Turbine Intercom==
 +
===MTN-2257 Audio Input Source option removed for Compact Turbine stations===
 +
Audio Input Source configuration option was removed for Compact Turbine stations because they don't have a physical Line In connector, so this configuration option did not have any effect on them.
 +
 
 +
===MTN-1527 IP Multicast Audio audible interruptions===  
 +
It was possible to hear audible effects during IP Multicast audio playback, and with a relatively high interval rate. This is now fixed.

==New Features - Exigo Network Amplifiers  ==
+
===MTN-2314 Using overlap dialing started ringing audio message for each digit pressed===  
=== SNOW-177 Exigo Network Amplifiers: StationWeb new options===
+
When dialing on keyboard using overlap dialing, the ringing audio message would get executed for each digit pressed instead of only when call actually was ringing.
* Configuration of the Exigo Network Amplifiers can now be done via the web pages when the amplifier is in Alphacom mode.
 
* Live view of state is available through the web.
 
  
=== SNOW-141 Exigo Network Amplifiers: Line input forwarding ===
+
===MTN-2313 Audio message executes twice when ringing===  
* Line input off amplifiers can now be routed directly to the output channel without a server being available
+
If you configure an audio message to play during ringing, it will start playing, then shortly after restart again. This is now fixed.
* When Line Input Forwarding is enabled, no audio is received from the server - only local audio is allowed
 
  
=== SNOW-103 Exigo Network Amplifiers can be connected to Alphacom systems ===
+
===MTN-2259 Configured PTT\M-Key action when using EMMAR-1H===  
* VSFT-Turbine software can now be used on Exigo amplifiers. This allows the amplifiers to be connected directly to Alphacom systems.

==Technical Preview - VSF-Turbine 4.9.3.0 ==
+
===MTN-2122 In HD Audio mode the station would report missing RTP===  
=== SNOW-229 Secure SIP and Secure RTP for Turbines in SIP mode ===
+
In HD Audio mode the station would incorrectly report missing RTP when it is meant to only send audio. This has been fixed.
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
 
<br><br>
 
  
== Bugfixes and Improvements - VSF-Turbine 4.9.3.1 ==
+
===MTN-2086 AEC Performance Improvements - Reduced Echo Artifacts===  
=== MTN-2033 Advanced Audio Profile config hidden===
+
By tuning the Acoustic Echo Cancellation algorithm options we have reduced the level of produced Echo artifacts on Turbine stations at high-level speaker outputs.
The Advanced Audio Settings under web configuration has been hidden by default. It can be enabled again by using special procedures.
 
  
=== MTN-2020 Acoustic Echo Cancellation performance issues ===
+
===MTN-2274 Using ZAP to set volume did not work===  
Compared to earlier versions it was observed more echo artifacts, and in some cases full echo return. Tuning and adjustments should now give AEC performance on a level with, or slightly better than earlier versions.
+
ZAP can now be used to set volume for amplifiers and Turbine
Note! When using a Turbine on the maximum gain level in Full Open Duplex, some echo artifacts may occur. This depends on many factors like the station mechanics, the mounting, the tone and level of Far-End audio talker etc.
 
  
=== MTN-1959 Webcall form not always responding when called from script===
+
===MTN-2341 Custom frontboard configuration now supports up to 11 DAK keys, from previous 8.===  
We've received multiple reports from customers attempting to use Lua scripts to activate relays via the webcall form on Turbine stations, that the relays\outputs does not always activate. This is fixed now
+
All 11 physical DAK keys can now be configured when custom frontobard is used.
<br><br>
 
  
== Bugfixes and Improvements - VSF-Turbine 4.9.3.0 ==
+
===MTN-2085 Far-End signal limiter on Turbine===  
=== VSIS-1214 Turbine uses SIP over UDP even though configured to use TCP ===
+
Far-End signal Limiter filter is designed to avoid powerful Far-End signal bringing the station to PoE shutdown as well as try to avoid Far-End Signal clipping and distortions.
Turbine sends UDP SIP even though configured to use TCP. Fixed
 
  
=== SNOW-333 Warning for TCIV as Pulse server===  
+
===MTN-2019 TCIV displays incorrect default image resolution for MJPEG HTTP===  
New warning added on StationWeb: ''It is recommended not 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.''
+
When opening HTTP MJPEG video stream in a web browser (http://IP-Address:8090) the video is displayed in smaller resolution then a defined default of 480p., this is now fixed by properly applying configured resolution.  
  
=== SNOW-245 Remove Enable full audio output setting from web===  
+
===SNOW-313 RTSP support for TCIV H.264 stream (AlphaCom)===  
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.
+
Added RTSP H.264 support on ITSV-1 to initiate video stream from TCIV in AlphaCom mode
  
=== SNOW-244 Expose TFIE-6 menu settings on station web===  
+
===SNOW-887 Video setup mode "Cisco" removed===  
Now all TFIE-6 menu settings are also available on StationWeb.
+
Due to the fixes in video stream FPS stability the "Cisco" video setup mode was made obsolete and therefore removed from StationWeb options
  
=== SNOW-88 Enable all DAK actions for all Turbine stations===
+
<br>
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===  
+
==Bugfixes and Improvements - Exigo Amplifiers==
Fixed with displaying proper registration status on StationWeb info Page.  
+
===MTN-2246 Suspend monitoring not always working for ENA in AlphaCom===
 +
Certain directory number configurations could previously stop suspend monitoring from working when using Exigo network amplifiers (ENA) in AlphaCom mode. This has been fixed.  
  
=== 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===
+
<br>
Fixed with added support for international non-English characters.
 
  
=== MTN-618 Turbine station does not send ARP update during startup.===  
+
==Security fixes and improvements==
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-2366 Basic MJPEG HTTP authentication should be enabled by default===  
 +
Now the option to Enable basic HTTP authentication for HTTP MJPEG is enabled by default.
  
=== MTN-408 802.1X config not properly handling special characters in password===  
+
===MTN-2102 Password on Pulse server Directory settings shown as plain text===  
Characters like !#$%&/()=@* are now handled in the password input field for 802.1x.
+
Password on Pulse server Directory settings page was displayed as plain text. Now it is displayed as standard HTML password field.

Call Setup priority was not preserved during upgrade for inputs. This is now fixed.

MTN-2433 IP-LCM external relays shown on Webcall form

IP-LCM external relays are now properly shown on Webcall form

MTN-2447 IP-LCM in Pulse mode has wrong number of relays in Advanced Output Handler

The number of relays in the advanced output handler configuration is now corrected.

MTN-2536 Syslog TCP port

Syslog suggests a default TCP port, but you had to manually enter it in order to get syslog working. Now you don't need to enter the port anymore.

MTN-2456 Reading IP address on ENA2060 did not work

Reading IP address on ENA2060 using an input now works.

MTN-2507 Support for updated camera board kernel on TCIV units

TCIV now supports updated camera board kernel which is applied in production, it's not necessary to update camera board kernel on already produced TCIV stations. TCIV stations with camera board kernel version 3716, can only be used with firmware version 4.11.3.1, 5.1.3.0 and newer. It's not possible to downgrade these stations to older firmware versions.

MTN-2481 TFTP provisioning would sometimes look for wrong filename if SIP domain has not been configured

TFTP provisioning would sometimes look for wrong file with IPv6 address instead of IPv4 address if the primary SIP domain had not been configured. This has been fixed.

MTN-2312 Turbine devices not booting completely

If a Turbine device has gotten an IP address from a DHCP server, and then reboots without contact to the DHCP server, the Turbine will go into cyclic reboot until it gets in contact with DHCP server again. This has now been fixed.

Security fixes and improvements

MTN-2496 HTTP call and relay API is disabled by default.

User can enable HTTP API via web call page. This also affect users using Virtual I/O script that leverages this API, they will have to enable it on receiving station.


Known Issues

MTN-2363 Factory reset does not delete uploaded Script

All uploaded scripts should also be removed on Factory reset

MTN-2362 H.264 RTSP stream in UDP mode can display small artifacts at the bottom of the stream

H.264 RTSP stream in UDP mode can display small artifacts at the bottom of the stream.

MTN-2361 TCIV H264 stream does not work in Honeywell Maxpro NVR

RTSP H.264 does not work in Honeywell Maxpro NVR, workaround is to use MJPEG RTSP stream

MTN-2360 Client side forwarding does not work in SIP mode

Client side forwarding, which can be configured as a DAK action or activated from INCA display menu, does not work in SIP mode. Workaround is to use SIP server side forwarding.

MTN-2359 Stream is not always established in Pelco VideoExpert VMS version 3.0 or newer

Stream is not always established in Pelco VideoExpert VMS version 3.0 or newer, workaround is to follow all the steps described here https://wiki.zenitel.com/wiki/Adding_TCIV_ONVIF_camera_to_Pelco_VideoXpert_Professional when adding TCIV station to Pelco VideoExpert

MTN-2358 Making a point-to-point call during High priority Group call will drop group call audio.

When 2 stations establish a point-to-point call during High priority Group call, they will no longer receive audio from current High priority group call.

MTN-2356 SNMP not working properly on TCIV under high CPU load

SNMP is not working properly on TCIV under high CPU load, which means that SNMP traps and inform messages can be sent with delay, or not be sent at all. This only happens if TCIV is placed under very high load, under normal operating conditions SNMP function without any issues.

MTN-2339 Group call chime is not played on 3rd party SIP stations

Group call chime (WAV file) is not played on third party SIP devices when Group Call is set over multicast IP address.
