VSF-TURBINE 7.4.3.0

New Features

MTN-3847 Option to disable registration in SIP mode added

A new option, No-Reg, has been added for Registration Method in Account Settings which will prevent registration towards a server. Device can operate in peer to peer mode.

Improvements

MTN-3867 Relay activation is now supported from NxWitness VMS

Added support for <onvifDevice:RelayOutputToken> tag to handle NxWitness implementation.

MTN-3434 SNMP traps are now sent only on registration change state.

For example a trap will be sent when the devices goes from registered to unregistered (or vice versa), it was previously sent after each registration interval even if there were no changes to the state.

Fixed Issues

MTN-3936 Gain on the headset microphone for TFIE/TKIE was too high

The microphone gain was about 18 dB too high, and the signal would easily clip. Now microphone gain is calibrated for a lip distance of 25 mm producing a standard -23 dBFS signal for "nominal voice SPL level".

Added option to configure target gain for HW-AGC

Configuration target gain for HW-AGC added. The default configuration option "standard", target our standard digital level -23 dBFS. While the configuration option "VeryHigh" target -5.5 dBFS (the old default).

MTN-3922 Intercom set to correct device type after software upgrade

Fixed an issue where intercom would be set as a kit after the upgrade.

MTN-3918 AVC - Default value for Far-end Lockout Time changed to 100 ms. Debug in Display now shows 0 dB

Default value for AVC parameter Far-end Lockout Time was set to 1 second. This is now changed to 100 milliseconds. Also, Debug in Display wouldn't show correct value for no gain raise, i.e. 0 dBA raise, this is now fixed, and correct 0 dB value is shown.

MTN-3905 Triggering relay via ONVIF in ICX-AlphaCom mode fixed

Fixed an issue which prevented relay being triggered over ONVIF if station is in ICX-AlphaCom mode

MTN-3882 Fixed DAK function for Volume Control

When DAK function is set to Volume Control, pressing DAK wouldn't raise or lower the gain. This is now fixed, and volume can be configured also with DAK.

MTN-3860 ONVIF issue with AMAG Symmetry fixed

Fixed an issue which prevented station from being added to AMAG Symmetry.

Known Issues

MTN-3489 Downgrading IP_LCM from vsft-6.4.3.0 will cause a reboot loop

If downgrading the IP_LCM from vsft-6.4.3.0 to an earlier version, the IP_LCM will go into a reboot loop. Workaround is to factory reset the IP_LCM just after downgrading.

MTN-3299 TLS Private Keys not restored on Turbine stations

In case that TLS Private Keys are deleted from Turbine station, the only way to restore them is to manually upload them to the station. Factory reset or station upgrade will not restore TLS Private Keys.

MTN-2692 Turbine stations won't register to ICX500 or AlphaCom if the dash symbol is not removed from the Directory Number field.

In an unconfigured Turbine station there is a dash character in the Directory Number field in the "Main Settings menu. This dash symbol must be removed when the directory number is entered, else the station will fail to register.

MTN-2686 Outputs not working for Exigo amplifiers in SIP mode

GPO's does not work when exigo amplifiers are in SIP mode.

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.

MTN-2220 Default SNMP settings issue with firmware downgrade to 4.9

When downgrading from VSFT 4.11+ to 4.9 a factory reset is necessary if user wants to use default SNMP configuration. For custom snmp.conf file, re-upload with a custom snmp.conf file will fix the problem.

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.
