VSF-FORTITUDE8 8.2.3.2

Fixed Issues

This is now fixed.

VSF-FORTITUDE8 8.2.3.0

Improvements

DS-899 SIP/SDP support for dynamic payload for codec L16x48 (HD-Audio)

Now supporting SIP media attribute L16/48000 with dynamic payload type in range 96..127. Note! The device needs to be configured in “HD-Audio” mode and voice processing (AEC and NC) is not supported.

DS-802 The keypad backlight of TEIV-1+ is now on in idle state

The backlight will be off if the station is in active or false state.

DS-798 Improved digital zoom

Now image is more clear when zooming. Also possible to zoom down to X4.

DS-781 Reversing procedure for call and opening door on TEIV-1+ with keyboard

To make an intercom call, dial the intercom number. To open the door, dial # then PIN code. On earlier firmware versions it was opposite operation (Intercom call: dial # then intercom number. Door Opening: Dial PIN code.)

Fixed Issues

MTN-4435 RTSP stream could stop in some cases

In case of audio issues, RTSP stream would terminate. Now the stream will continue with a moment of silence instead.

MTN-4403 Sound Detection (VAD) levels were not calibrated correct towards configured input

Since major release 7.0 and newer the audio signal levels have been changed, but the the Sound Detection configured levels was not adjusted making threshold levels significantly off, and not as on 6.x SW and older.

The dBA configured values are now re-calibrated using a TCIV+ as reference. Measure reference level is 0.5 meter in front of station. A Pink noise signal have been used as test signal. The new values shows to be a few dB more sensitive then older 6.x SW but not significant. Note! This is not fine calibrated per product variant so there might be product variations, but all TCIS/TCIV/TFIE should be close in levels.

MTN-4394 Multicast paging working again on intercom devices

Multicast paging was not working on intercom devices when configuring from the webpage. This is now fixed.

MTN-4362 Fixed wrong description in Sound Detection settings

The description of “Minimum time before reactivation” is corrected to “Choose how long to wait before enabling VAD after triggering the DAK key”

MTN-4340 ONVIF backchannel could cut last second of audio

In some cases backchannel could cut around last second of audio when using push to talk or pre-recorded messages that terminate backchannel session.

This does not happen anymore if client sends TEARDOWN command correctly.

MTN-4329 Fixed an issue with wrong intervals for ONVIF events reports

Fixed an issue with wrong parsing of some PullMessages parameters. In some VMSs, PullMessages parameters Timeout and MessageLimit were not parsed correctly on VS-IS8.0.3.2 and wrong values were used.

MTN-4320 Weak cipher suites no longer supported on devices

Removed the AES128-SHA AES128-SHA256:ECDHE-RSA-AES128-SHA:ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA:CAMELLIA128-SHA:CAMELLIA256-SHA ciphers reported by security scanner

MTN-4228 Turbine devices could not be used with Bosch VMS

There was a problem on Zenitel ONVIF devices that caused software to crash and device to reboot which made Bosch VMS unable to connect to the device.

Known Issues

MTN-4333 HD-Audio mode not working using digital microphone input

Audio is distorted when digital microphone is used. Audio is OK if using analogue microphone input

MTN-4121 Asterisk discards alternative profiles

Default setting for ITSV-5 sends 3 types (BP & MP & HP). However, Asterisk discards all but the first profile it receives (HP in this case). Since only the "Baseline profile" is supported on the device the video doesn't load. A workaround to this issue is to select "Baseline profile" as the H.264 profile type on the ITSV-5.

The issue has been reported and documented here: https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-29182
