From Zenitel Wiki

Revision as of 12:26, 9 July 2007 by Wolferey (talk)

Software in production: AMC 09.12<br\> Software released date: 2006-04-28<br\> Note 1: We sometimes do bugfixes in older versions while working with a new version. You can’t read the list version by version, and always assume that a correction is included in the next. Be aware of high release numbers, e.g. 06.05 vs. 07.01. Check version dates, and also comments for each version. <br\> Note 2: For each software version the NVRAM version is listed. If the NVRAM version is different, the AMC board must be cold started, and then you must do a SendAll from AlphaPro to restore the configuration.<br\><br\><br\>

AlphaCom AMC 9.xx Release Notes

AMC 09.01 (2003-05-06)

Release: Official, available on request 
NVRAM version 09.01.

Functional changes

User Defined Data UDD changed from 16 bit to 32 bit:<br\> Possible to store 8 digit directory numbers.<br\>

Support for AE1 card:<br\> Users and Stations increased by 52<br\>

Ignore station down during conversation:<br\> New global flag: ignore_st_down_in_conv. Disable conversation reset during conversation if station is reported down. <br\>

Audio program mute when receiving group call:<br\> New glabal flag: no_prog_during_grcall. Mute program to stations when they become members of group call.<br\>

Load control default turned off:<br\> Let the system go on full speed. <br\>

Possible to use param1 for feature 52 and 85:<br\> This can be used to group event triggers by filtering on sub event type.<br\>

19200 baud rate available:<br\> 19200 baud rate can be used for all protocols (When supported in AlphaPro)<br\>

Dipswitch setting for higher speed multimodule connections:<br\>

  • Dipswitch 7 = ON, set 19200 baud on ICCL.
  • Dipswitch 6 = ON set 19200 baud on SERVICE port.
  • Dipswitch setting for 19200 baud multi-module: Master DS 7 ON and DS 6 OFF. Slaves DS 6 and 7 ON. If you want to use AlphaPro with 19200 Baud, DS 6 on master must be set to ON.

New event handler function MFRE():<br\> Return free-text of station mail, if available, return “-“ if no text. (Same syntax as other text functions). Can only be used with mail events (same as MPRI)<br\>

XOR added to the OP(2,^,3) event handler function:<br\> Syntax ^<br\>

Key trigger event FEAT_DIGIT_EVENT(105):<br\> When activating this feature all succeeding digits are reported to the event handler and is trigged as EVENT_TRIGGER(25) with sub event equal to digit dialed 0-9. The event is ON as long as the station key is down and reported off when key is released (can be used for camera control ++).<br\> FEAT_DIGIT_EVENT with param1 = 0 display the digit hold down, with param1 different from 0 the display is not updated and can be updated by the event handler to indicate “left” “up”, “down” ++.<br\><br\>

Errors Corrected

ERR 1696: HotLine feature activated when lifting handset in conference:<br\> Corrected. Bug in the final state machine.<br\>

AMC X09.00 (2002-11-08)

release: Official, available on request 
NVRAM version 09.00. 
Note: Previous X9.00 used a different nvram 09.00. Since it is a limited release the version number is not changed.
The 9.00 version is based on the latest 8.27x, with some extended tables, some new features and bug fixes.

Functional changes

Extended Name Sort Algorithm:<br\> Name sort extended from 250 to 1000 names starting with the same letter. <br\>

New Station Bit Map Flags:<br\> Previous configured as DAK features in COS:

  • Station flag bit 10 1 = FEAT_DAK_DISPLAY_DIRNO (DualDisplay)
  • Station flag bit 11 1 = FEAT_AUTO_CANCEL
  • Station flag bit 12 1 = FEAT_AUTO_DIR_NO_CONN
  • Station flag bit 13 1 = FEAT_AUTO_INQUIRY

New flag:

  • Station flag bit 14 1 = Station has DAK display, can be used for CRM4 functionality in DualDisplay hardware

Removed Features:<br\>

  • 98 FEAT_UPDATE_DAK_DISPLAY (Use “789”)
  • 99 FEAT_DAK_DISPLAY_DIRNO (Station bit 10)
  • 102 FEAT_AUTO_CANCEL (Station bit 11)
  • 103 FEAT_AUTO_INQUIRY (Station bit 13)
  • 104 FEAT_AUTO_DIR_NO_CONN (Station bit 12)

New DAK Redirecting System:<br\> To reduce the number of dummy station the redirecting function is extended to be able to redirect from all 20 DAK keys of a station. (The old functionality is still kept) See DualDisplay station documentation.<br\>

Stations Using “Digit Keys is DAK”:<br\> It is now possible to use the stations own 20 DAK keys without the need of redirecting.

Station DAK key system:<br\> Digit keys 0-9 use station DAK 1-10 DAK keys use station DAK 11-20 (previously moved to D80)

VOIP:<br\> New solution for M key handling and some bug fixes for delay settings.<br\>

Flash Backup Upgrade:<br\> The driver for backup to the AMC flash is rewritten for new flash type and size. The AMC SW 9.00 will only use the new flash. The previous flash driver is removed because the new nvram structure 9.00 will not fit into the old flash.<br\>

NVRAM increased tables

Station flags:<br\> 16 new station flag added, still unused.<br\>

MDF text buffer:<br\> MDF text buffer increased form 6000 to 12000 bytes.<br\>

New DAK Keys:<br\> The existing DAK table is extended from 10 DAK keys to 24 DAK keys for each station. In this way it is easy to configure the DualDisplay station without using redirection. It is less risk of running out of DAK system resources. All stations will have 20 DAK keys available from AlphaPro. The DualDisplay has now 20 DAK keys and 4 navigation keys available from AlphaPro. For DualDisplay the 20 DAK keys are DAK key 1 to 20. The Navigation keys are DAK 21 to 24. <br\>

Event Action Strings:<br\> The number of available event action strings is increased from 400 to 2000. It means that the event programming “scripts” can be made longer.<br\>

Event Config Elements:<br\> The number of available event config elements is increased from 500 to 2000. It means that 2000 different events can be trigged in the system.<br\>

Directory Numbers:<br\> The dynamic directory number table is increased from 1502 to 8702. Directory numbers range increased from 1- 4 digits to 1-8 digits.Directory numbers during conversation is still 3 digits.<br\>

Pager Table:<br\> The pager table is increased from 200 to 600 pagers. <br\>

Global Group Call:<br\> Increased from 50 to 100.<br\>

Local Group Call:<br\> Increased from 50 to 100.<br\><br\>

DualDisplayStation Functionality

New DualDisplay related feature codes:<br\>

  • 100 FEAT_EDIT_DAK_TEXT
  • 101 FEAT_SELECT_DAK_PAGE

For Details see DualDisplay document<br\><br\>

Errors Corrected

ERR 1693: Stations in privacy is not reported up/down to the group call alocator:<br\> If a station in private mode is connected to the AlphaCom, this station will not receive group calls before the exchange or ASLT board is reset. Probably introduced on AMC 08.10. Corrected<br\>

ERR 1694: Remote mail show 0 mails on proxy station:<br\> Corrected, now it is tested that mail status is sent to right station. <br\>

ERR 1688: Answer Mail during off hook fails:<br\> Corrected. Handling of mail call back functionality during off hock was missing. <br\>

ERR 1687: Protocol bug, carriage return during power up corrupt the Touchline protocol:<br\> Corrected. The uart buffer is emptied after reset. <br\>

Bug in MPP command. Problems with new parameters.<br\>
