AlphaPro Versions
<br\>
AlphaPro 10.25 (2007-06-15)
Run InstallAlphaPro.exe from the installation set. The installation can be used as an upgrade of v10.0.1 of AlphaPro (installed on top of old version).
Functional changes
Automatic reconnect: By right-clicking on the communication button in AlphaPro, there will be a menu with two options: Logout and Automatic reconnect. The Logout option will be disabled if not logged in yet. The Automatic reconnect function has an on/off state that is visualized with a check-mark to the left of the menu option. When turned on and the TCP connection to the AMC is broken, AlphaPro will try to reconnect and log in to the node again.<br\><br\>
New fields: In Exchange|System:<br\> .ex_profile.glob_const.priv_ring_mail_pri<br\> .ex_profile.glob_const.bc_event_node<br\> .ex_profile.glob_const.max_off_hook_delay<br\> .ex_profile.timeouts.dig_col_timeout<br\> .ex_profile.timeouts.sip_dial_dly<br\> .ex_profile.flags.use_IP_ICC<br\> .ex_profile.flags.DSP_duplex<br\> .ex_profile.flags.private_ringing_SIP<br\> .ex_profile.flags.prog_feed_in_master<br\> .ex_profile.ip_config.mcast_addr_base<br\> .ex_profile.ip_config.mcast_net_rly[5].net_addr<br\> .ex_profile.ip_config.mcast_net_rly[5].net_mask<br\><br\>
Errors corrected
3192: Hebrew problem on station display:<br\> Correction in wacs to handle 4 byte boolean variable in AMC 10.<br\>
3190: Event action - radio button:<br\> When you add a new event from the Users & Stations window, neither of the two radio buttons for Action Command or RCO is activated. So when you enter your actions strings and press OK the action commands are not saved. When entering Events from Exchange & System it is OK. Corrected.<br\>
2839: RCI - Faults:<br\> Programmed information on RCI 140 (amongst other programming) + SendChg. Then GetAll. In the RCI | Faults window the programming of RCI 140 appears in the disabled fields (OFF action, Device number, Pin number, Delay) of the Faulty station/board/device/AGA. Corrected.<br\>
3194: SIP Registrar on eth1 not OK:<br\> Using SIP Registrar on eth1 would not work. Corrected.<br\>
3199: Inser new event, subevent:<br\> When inserting a new event the subevent field must be cleared (set to 0). When inserting a new event the same subevent number as from the last highlighted event is used. If this subevent was different from 0 the new event might not work. Corrected<br\>
3200: Event - Edit action command:<br\> When editing the action command of an existing event, the button OK and Cancel doesn't become active. You must place the cursor in another field first. Corrected.<br\>
3189: Event is changed when owner is:<br\> When owner is changed in event handler from station to UDP or visa versa the event part is reset. That is event type will be 01 - Audio, when change to will be ON or OFF and any related to information is deleted. Corrected.<br\>
3186: Transfer configuration to AMC:<br\> Speed improvement when transferring data to AMC (SendChg).<br\>
3207: Convertion of AMC9 databases:<br\> A database from 9.23 is converted in 10.25. Then I set the node type to be AlphaCom E. The IP address is not saved after pressing OK. Corrected.<br\>
3212: AlphaPro can't start after del network:<br\> Corrected.<br\>
3204: Deleting the only node -> AP closes:<br\> AlphaPro closes when deleting the one and only node in a network. Corrected.<br\>
3222: Crash when defining groups:<br\> When adding many stations (>100) into groups, AlphaPro will eventually crash. Corrected.<br\>
3221: AlphaPro can't get/set IP address:<br\> After a GetAll the IP address is 0.0.0.0 on all nodes except the connected node it self. All remote nodes and SIP nodes have IP 0.0.0.0. When trying to edit an IP address, the information is not stored. Corrected.<br\>
2859: Wacs not restored:<br\> Corrected by implementing the 'Automatic reconnect' function (see Automatic reconnect).<br\>
Unregistered bugfixes:<br\>
New text for event trigger 31 and 32:<br\>
Event 31: FEAT_M_KEY<br\>
Event 32: FEAT_OFF_HOOK<br\><br\>
Updated MDF files:<br\>
- Related to Issue 2952 (AMC, dual display) a new line is added to the default MDF files:<br\>
- UMSG 10 14 % H_SDMSG_SEL_MAIL<br\>
% Parameter: 1 - Dir.no. dialled<br\> "Dial Mail#clr"<br\> " message: $dno:1#clr"<br\> "#pos(6,1)#clr" <-- New line<br\> (12,1)<br\><br\>
Known bugs/workarounds:<br\> None as of now.<br\><br\> <br\><br\>
AlphaPro 10.24 (2007-04-12)
Run InstallAlphaPro.exe from the installation set. The installation can be used as an upgrade of v10.0.1 of AlphaPro (installed on top of old version).
Functional changes
IP Station: In the ‘Users&Stations’ window there is now a ‘IP station’ checkbox. When checked, fields for MAC address, Codec and RTP Packet size is displayed.<br\><br\>
Ringmaster Node: A new Ringmaster node type is available when defining a new node. Like the SIP node type, it has to be assigned to an existing AlphaCom E node. In the AlphaNet routing window there is available a RMD Link type to be used for setting routing to the Ringmaster node.<br\><br\>
New Features:
- Feature 106, Private break-in:
This feature is not available in the ‘Directory & Features’ window. It is only available as a feature in the ‘Class of Service’ window. By default it is included as a valid feature in COS 16, SuperUser.<br\>
- Feature 107, DTMF during connection:
Available from the ‘Directory & Features’ and ‘Class of Service’ windows.<br\>
- Copy, Paste, Move, Swap:
Implemeted the Copy, Paste, Move, Swap functions in the ‘User & Stations’ window.<br\><br\>
Errors corrected
2840: Board Use table:<br\> The Board use table contains records for 24 boards, but after a GetAll there are records for 26 boards. Corrected.<br\>
3017: Name list:<br\> After AMC autoload dirno's 9542 - 9545 are in the name list (614). After SendAll of a new database in AlphaPro 10.0.0 number 7980 are also in the name list. Corrected.<br\>
3155: SIP trunk in converted database:<br\> After converting a AP9.x database to AP 10.x format, the 'SIP Link' data link type (NetRouting) was missing. Corrected.<br\>
3047: Delete Network/Exchange:<br\> If you in Networks -> Browse Networks select a network, then select a node in the network and Delete, you get an error message and AlphaPro crashes. The whole network is deleted, not only the node! Corrected.<br\>
3071: Related to UDP /AlphaNet:<br\> Now the Node is stored, but not the UDP number in the 'Related to' field. The value becomes '0' after saving. Corrected.<br\>
2974: AlphaNet Cluster node:<br\> When you create a new exchange one of the options for exchange type is 'AlphaNet Cluster'. This option is never used, so it is removed. Also the option 'Unknown'is removed.<br\>
3079: Definition of a SIP node in AlphaPro:<br\> When defining a new network in AlphaPro, automatically a new (first) exchange must be defined. 'SIP node' should not be a possible selection at this point, as there is no AlphaCom node number to relate it to. Corrected. See also Issue 2974.<br\>
3162: Not storing IP address:<br\> When you create a new exchange and uncheck the 'AlphaNet:Adm here' flag, the IP address entered in ethernet 1 is not stored. When you go to 'Exchange & System' the IP address is '0.0.0.0'. Corrected.<br\>
3153: SIP Registrar on Eth1:<br\> The IP address of a SIP registrar can not be defined, AlphaPro use the defined Eth0 IP address. Corrected by giving the user a choice to select Eth0 or Eth1 IP address when defining a SIP registrar.<br\>
3139: GetAll - SIP nodes not included:<br\> Create a database with one AlphaCom exchange, one SIP registar and one SIP Trunk node. SendAll. Create a new database with one AlphaCom node only. After a GetAll, the SIP nodes are missing. Corrected.<br\>
3168: Event, 'When related to':<br\> The following events do not use "Related To". To prevent confusion the "When Related To" should be disabled when these event types are selected:<br\> Audio - 01 Automatic lock - 03 Station in use - 04 Microphone open - 05 Faulty station line - 13 Priority mail present - 06 Priority mail in idle - 12 EDI Text - 28 System Status - 27 AlphaNet Link - 29 Corrected.<br\>
3133: Wrong database path:<br\> After installation and startup the databases in AlphaPro 10.03 is available. New databases added in 10.04 is available in 10.03. I have installed AP 10.2.2 pre-release, and I have also AlphaPro 10.04 installed in a different folder. When I change the database path in 10.0.4 the same change applies also in 10.2.2! And vice versa. Seems like the two installations are using a common setting in some way. Corrected.<br\>
3166: Event owner becomes EDI:<br\> When an event is modified sometimes the owner of the first event in the list box is changed to EDI. (This has happened several times during training, but is hard to reproduce the error...). Corrected.<br\>
3181: AlphaPro crashes on 'Assign DAK's':<br\> AlphaPro crashes when the "Assign DAK's" button in Local Groups is used on two (or three?) different groups after one another. Corrected.<br\>
3146: Insert new number:<br\> In Alphapro 10.04 if you enter a number and make it 83/xx save it and appears correctly in the table, if you then select "insert" and try to add another number 83/xx it saves it and the right side screen looks ok but it has actually saved the number as a feature 200 (end of table feature). Corrected.<br\>
3137: Delete blocks of dirno:<br\> From the Dir No / Features table I select feature 9/4 then go to feature 9/552 using the shift key select all these numbers, then delete. This works fine on the first couple of nodes then this error appears, it maybe the third node or the fifth node. Corrected.<br\>
3177: When related to > 4 digits:<br\> Only the 4 first digits in the "Related to" field was read by wacs. SendAll/SendChg seems to be OK. There might be and error in AMC on this Issue. Corrected.<br\>
3138: Warning when Send or GetAll:<br\> There was given a warning when doing Send or GetAll to AMC 10.0x. Corrected.<br\>
3185: GetAll - IP addresses:<br\> GetAll would not read IP addresses from all nodes in an AlphaNet. Corrected.<br\><br\>
Known bugs/workarounds:<br\> 2985: Corrupted DMP file<br\> If you press "Cancel" while WACS is "Reading NVRAM dictionary, please wait..." the .dmp file is corrupted in some way, and you cannot communicate with the exchange any longer. The dmp file has be deleted. When using AlphaPro via serial port this reading process takes quite some time, and this can easily happen.<br\>
3003: DNS Host names<br\> AlphaPro dont support entering DNS host names for e.g. SIP proxies, only IP addresses.<br\><br\> <br\><br\>
AlphaPro 10.0.5 (2007-02-09)
Run InstallAlphaPro.exe from the installation set. The installation can be used as an upgrade of v10.0.1 of AlphaPro (installed on top of old version).
Functional changes
Set RCO Type: In the RCO window: Added the possibility to set RCO Type to “Device” or “Station”. The “Station” RCO Type has the station's physical number as the “sub-type”.<br\><br\>
Event Handler Window: The operation of the Event Handler window has changed. Similar to the Directory number and Users windows, it is now possible to edit an event without opening a separate update window. All browsing and updating of the Event Handler is done from the same window. Also, it is possible to sort the Events list by clicking on the column header that you want to sort on. A ‘[+]’ or ‘[-]’ sign on the column header indicates ascending or descending sort order.<br\><br\>
Errors corrected
2562: HTML Help:<br\> Context sensitive HTML Help is now included in the installation set.<br\>
3065: WACS can't connect TCP/IP:<br\> Sometimes after opening and closing the Exchange&System window, wacs is not able to connect to the node again. It seems like AlphaPro tries to connect to IP address '0.0.0.0'. Corrected.<br\>
3063: Exchange select:<br\> After exiting the Exchange & Systems window, very often the list of exchanges is reduced to a single exchange or no exchanges at all, also often you are not able to connect to the selected exchange. This is probably related to Issue 3065.<br\>
3066: GetAll don't get IP address:<br\> GetAll don't get the IP address of Eth0 and Eth1 from the exchange. Corrected.<br\>
3084: SIP node data link:<br\> When creating a SIP node, the AMC node and SIP node do not communicate. There was bug in Autoload related to SIP configuration (SIP link in Net Routing).<br\>
3080: SIP - Audio on IP:<br\> When creating a NetRouting from AlphaCom to SIP node, the flag "Audio on IP" is be enabled by default.<br\>
3081: SIP node - default codec:<br\> When creating a new SIP node the codec should is set to g711u as default, not "Best available". Corrected.<br\>
3109: SIP Nodes, Eth/serial, SendAll/GetAll:<br\> In a database there is an AlphaCom E node 1 (Eth0 169.254.1.5, and Eth1 = 10.5.101.42), SIP registrar node 6 and SIP trunk node 240, IP adr 10.5.101.44. If you uncheck the flag which selects Ethernet or Serial port com towards the exchange, Both SIP nodes becomes Trunk types with IP adress 169.254.1.5. When changing the flag you get an error message saying: "This record was changed by another station". Seems like GetAll and/or SendAll messes up the nodes in the same manner. I'm not able to rectify the problem from AlphaPro, have to delete the SIP nodes and create them again. Corrected.<br\>
3042: WACS always up:<br\> WACS can now stay open while other windows are open. There are however a couple of limitations: - As long as the 'Transfer Status' dialog in WACS is open, other windows can't be opened. - As long as and 'Update' window in AlphaPro is open, all buttons in WACS is disabled. They will be enabled again when the 'Update' window is closed.<br\>
3035: Text in UDP window:<br\> In the UDP window there are now numbers in front of the check boxes to identify each UDP.<br\>
2934: Programming SIP Node:<br\> When changing settings for a SIP node (registrar or trunk), it does not turn red to indicate changes. This is to prevent that the SIP node is red "forever".<br\>
3100: Create SIP Registrar:<br\> When a SIP Registrar was created and afterwards selected "Exchange|System" it was set as SIP Trunk node. Corrected.<br\>
3043: Insert new number:<br\> When inserting a new directory number in "Dirno & Feature", you were not able to select any other field, or cancel or close. You had to enter a directory number to continue. Corrected.<br\>
2812: GetAll -> Alt Route = IP:<br\> After a GetAll Alternative Route is set to "Data on IP" when not in use, should be N/A. Corrected.<br\>
2848: Pager, Receiver number:<br\> There is no check in AlphaPro on the length of the receiver number in the Pager menu. The string has a limited length in AMC. If too long there is a warning in WACS transfer window ("could not update all fields"), and the field is empty after a GetAll. In AMC the field is limited to 10 bytes, so the field length in AlphaPro is also restricted to 10 characters.<br\>
3064: RCO > 138 don't work:<br\> For RCO > 138 the RCO Type field was not set from AlphaPro. Corrected.<br\>
3125: Navigation keys to Default:<br\> On a station type DualDisplay: If any of the fields 'Call Setup Priority', 'Volume' or 'Class of Service' is changed, the Navigation Keys in the DAK window is set back to default numbers (60, 9543, 9544, 9542). The DAK programming must remain. The navigation keys should be programmed to default only when the station type is set to DualDisplay. Corrected.<br\>
3126: Include Group members:<br\> Remove a station from a group, SendChg and then include the station in the group again. AlphaPro will crash when saving the last change. Corrected.<br\>
3127: Subnet mask not stored:<br\> Since Subnet mask is not used from AlphaPro, the entrys for editing is removed.<br\>
3131: Subnet mask missing:<br\> See Issue 3127.<br\>
2966: Event Type 29:<br\> When you modify the event 29 (Change button) the Owner and When Related To (WRT) still becomes available. After "Change" the WRT becomes available also for other events types (event 01-Audio, 03-Door Automatic lock, 04-Station in Use, 05-Mic Open, 06-PriMail present, 12-PriMail in Idle, event 13, 27 and 29. Corrected.<br\>
3135: Event Actions disappears:<br\> Event programming seems unstable. Changing UDP in one event actually change UDP on a different event. Changing other events makes them disappear but when using the same database in 10.0.0 they are visible. Corrected.<br\>
3073: Event window:<br\> a) Sometimes after saving the programming of an event, all events disappear in the list box. Have to exit the event window to refresh. Corrected.<br\> b) When you edit an event and save, the item you have edited should be highlighted in the listbox. It is confusing that the focus is on another event than the one you have just edited. Corrected.<br\>
3106: SIP Trunk, Calls in Private mode:<br\> It must be possible to set calls from SIP Trunk to always be in private mode, regardless of the private/open switch of the station. (PNCI was set in AlphaPro to Call Setup Priority = Low).<br\> New flag (Private Ringing from SIP) is added to Exchange&System|System|Calls and options.<br\>
2849: SX conf - Talk Priority:<br\> Programmed SX conference 10 with "Minimum Talk Priority" = Alarm (and def. membr = dirno 105, and def. spkr. enabled). SendChg. Warning in transfer window in WACS, "could not update all fields". After GetAll "Minimum Talk Priority" = Low. Corrected.<br\>
3128: GetAll - IP addresses:<br\> Did a GetAll from the Trondheim node - all nodes (Oslo, Horten, UK etc, and SIP nodes) got the same IP address as the Trondheim node. Corrected.<br\>
3134: DAK: * and # not possible:<br\> It is not possible to program * and # on DAK, for use towards SIP / phone. It should be possible to program in AlphaPro like: "I0 P 98236419#". Corrected.<br\>
3140: "Free events" not updated:<br\> Corrected.<br\><br\>
Unregistered bugfixes:<br\>
- Fixed a small bug in Users & Stations window. When pasting a MAC address containing small letters into the MAC address field, an error message would appear. This is corrected.
- Bug in Directory & Features window: When using arrow keys to step up/down in list, it would mark records as the cursor moved up/down. Corrected.
- Fixed a bug in the Global Groups window. If there was only one member group in a global group and it was deleted, a SendChange would not detect the change so the AMC would not be updated.
<br\><br\> Known bugs/workarounds:<br\> 2985: Corrupted DMP file<br\> If you press "Cancel" while WACS is "Reading NVRAM dictionary, please wait..." the .dmp file is corrupted in some way, and you cannot communicate with the exchange any longer. The dmp file has be deleted. When using AlphaPro via serial port this reading process takes quite some time, and this can easily happen.<br\>
3003: DNS Host names<br\> AlphaPro dont support entering DNS host names for e.g. SIP proxies, only IP addresses.<br\>
3018: Lock up when WACS is closed<br\> Log on to a node and enter user + pw. If you now stop WACS while the connection is being established, AlphaPro often freezes and must be restarted<br\><br\> <br\><br\>
AlphaPro 10.0.3 (2006-11-13)
Run InstallAlphaPro.exe from the installation set. The installation can be used as an upgrade of v10.0.1 of AlphaPro (installed on top of old version).
Functional changes
Configuration of SIP nodes: The configuration of SIP nodes has been improved and simplified. When creating a new node and setting the node type to ‘SIP node’, some new fields is displayed to let the user decide if the SIP node is a Registrar Server or a Trunk Line (SIP gateway) and which AlphaCom node the SIP node is related to. It is also possible to set default values for Preferred Codec and RTP Packet size. These default values will be used when adding a Net Route to the SIP node. If the SIP node is set to be a Trunk Line, the IP address to the SIP gateway must be entered.<br\><br\>
Report Groups and Global Groups: Groups, Group Members and Global Groups are added to the reports window.<br\><br\>
New Event 30 (Station DAK key as RCI) in Autoload: Event 30 (Station DAK as RCI) is added to the autoload database.<br\><br\>
Open AlphaWeb for the selected node: There is a new button in the main window that opens the default web browser with the AlphaWeb page for the current node. The button is only enabled if AlphaPro is set to connect with TCP/IP.<br\><br\>
Display IP address when logged in to a node: After logging in to a node, the IP address is displayed in the status string in the upper right corner of the main window.<br\><br\>
New flag in Users&Stations: The ‘No Display’ flag is implemented in the Users&Stations window. It is placed on the Station Type tab.<br\><br\>
Errors corrected
2972: Cluster Global, number check:<br\> a) When modifying a number the ‘AlphaNet Visibility’ field is disabled until the directory number is saved. This is to prevent that the number check goes against the old number.<br\> b) When modifying an existing ‘Cluster Global’ number, a new number was created in the all other cluster nodes while the old number remained. Corrected.<br\> c) Changing the visibility in Directory & Numbers window didn’t always take effect; it went back to the original setting when pressing the OK button. Corrected.<br\>
3013: Cluster Global not exported:<br\> Corrected in Issue 2972.<br\>
2971: Cluster Identical:<br\> When setting the AlphaNet Visibility to ‘Cluster Identical’, the number was added to the other cluster nodes without checking if the number already exists. The result was that two identical numbers or feature/id combination could exist in the cluster nodes. Corrected.<br\>
3004: Support 20ms RTP packets:<br\> Support for setting the RTP packet size is implemented in the Net Routing window. The setting is available for the destination node in an Alpha Net route.<br\>
3006: Dynamic/Static on each end:<br\> a) When creating a dynamic route, it was not possible to save the changes without entering a physical number for the destination. Corrected.<br\> b) When setting the ‘Use Dynamic Lisence’ flag on the destination, it was not possible to save and exit. Corrected.<br\>
3040: SIP Node: Change of IP address:<br\> It was not possible to change the IP address of a SIP node without changing/saving the ACDP link in NetRouting and then change it back to the original setting. Corrected.<br\>
3036: SIP Node and Net Audio:<br\> Corrected in Issue 3006.<br\>
3047: Delete Network/Exchange:<br\> Fault in Networks|Browse Networks. It was not possible to delete a node from this window. Implemented separate Inser/Change/Delete buttons for Networks and Nodes.<br\>
3046: Direct Paging and Personal Answer Code:<br\> It was not possible to delete Direct Pocket Paging number/text and Personal Answer Code number/text from Users&Stations – Pager. Corrected.<br\>
3037: Add Event from Users & Stations:<br\> When adding a new event from Users & Stations, the currently highlighted user is set as Event owner.<br\>
3029: Event 28 EDI Text:<br\> ‘When change to’ and ‘When related to’ fields is disabled when inserting a new event with owner ‘EDI Text config’.<br\>
3049: Changing "Collect N more digits":<br\> A bug caused that directory numbers would be deleted if changing the ‘Collect N more digits’ field. Corrected.<br\>
3044: Edit "Collect N more digits":<br\> When editing the ‘Collect N more digits’ filed, the ‘OK’ and ‘Save’ buttons was not enabled until another field in the window was changed. Corrected.<br\>
3062: Net Audio/Net Routing: Select destination:<br\> It is now possible to double-click to select the destination node when inserting a new Audio route/Net route.<br\>
3071: Related to UDP/AlphaNet:<br\> The Node field in the Events window was disabled when setting the ‘Related to’ field to ‘Stations w/UDP’, making it impossible to use UDP over AlphaNet. Corrected.<br\>
2562: HTML Help:<br\> Context sensitive HTML Help is partially implemented. Most windows will open the HTML help file when pressing the F1 key. This will continue to be improved.<br\><br\>
Other:<br\> Detect masking directory numbers:<br\> Fixed a bug in ‘Users & Stations’ window regarding detection of masking directory numbers.
Reselection after update or sorting:<br\> Fixed reselection of the correct Directory number after update or sorting.<br\><br\>
Known bugs/workarounds:<br\> 2985: Corrupted DMP file:<br\> If you press "Cancel" while WACS is "Reading NVRAM dictionary, please wait..." the .dmp file is corrupted in some way, and you cannot communicate with the exchange any longer. The dmp file has be deleted. When using AlphaPro via serial port this reading process takes quite some time, and this can easily happen.<br\>
3003: DNS Host names:<br\> AlphaPro dont support entering DNS host names for e.g. SIP proxies, only IP addresses.<br\>
3018: Lock up when WACS is closed:<br\> Log on to a node and enter user + pw. If you now stop WACS while the connection is being established, AlphaPro often freezes and must be restarted.<br\>
3033: SendChg and COS:<br\> This week we have been installing a couple of AlphaCom-E exchanges (an E20 in London and an E7 in Kent) using AlphaNet over customers own WAN. All seemed OK until changes were made and sent to the London node which the following notes detail.<br\>
Ed programmed the data base for extinction, when I arrived on site in London today I did a get all from London and Kent, all looked ok I made programming changes to groups, global groups, remote numbers,daks and directory numbers. After this I did a send change to London and Kent. The result was any station not configured as a superuser could not call across the alphanet link if in London and stations in Kent could not do anything. A send all cured the problem.<br\>
3045: USB Dongle Driver:<br\> There seems to be some problems with the USB dongle driver if the PC has no parallel port. Downloading and installing the latest (v7.3.0) driver seems to cure the problem. Download from: http://www.safenet-inc.com/support/tech/sentinel.asp<br\>
3063: Exchange select:<br\> AlphaNet with several exchanges defined:<br\> a) After exiting the Exchange & Systems window, very often the list of exchanges is reduced to a single exchange or no exchanges at all. You have to select the network from the network dropdown list to "refresh" the list of exchanges.<br\> b) After exiting the Exchange & Systems window, very often you are not able to communicate with the selected exchange (you get an error message saying the the IP address doen't exist or something like that). You then have to select the network from the network dropdown list to "refresh" the list of exchanges. Now WACS can connect.<br\> It is assumed that a) and b) are related.<br\>
3066: GetAll don’t get IP address:<br\> GetAll don't get IP address of Eth0 and 1 from the exchange. This could be a problem if both Ethernet ports are used, one for management and one for AlphaNet. Connect to the management port and do GetAll to a new database. The IP address of the AlphaNet port is now wrong or missing. If you now change or add AlphaNet NetRouting the routing will become wrong.<br\><br\> <br\><br\>
AlphaPro 10.0.1 (2006-08-03)
Internal test release. Run InstallAlphaPro.exe from the installation set. The installation can be used as an upgrade of v10.0.0 of AlphaPro (installed on top of old version).
Functional changes
2920: Sorting of dirnos: Sorting order of dirnos is changed, so that it is easier to detect masking effekts and to get an overview of number series.<br\><br\>
2711: Copy and add node DB: Removed the 'Set Path' and 'Use existing database' from the 'Create Network' window. Instead there is a 'Set Database Path' choice on the Networks menu. This function let the user select the database directory, and not an exchange database.<br\><br\>
2973: AlphaNet visibility only when Clusters are used: AlphaNet visibility is only relevant if a node is member of a cluster, so the AlphaNet Visibility is disabled if the current node is not a member of a cluster.<br\>
Errors corrected
2979: Enter Group Hunt dirno:<br\> Added radio buttons in the Groups window to let the user select between Group Call or Group Hunt. Entering a dirno and displaytext when Group hunt is selected will add/update the Group Hunt feature to the directory number table.<br\>
2997: Substation and Hot-Line call:<br\> When a station is set to sub-station, it is now reflected in the DAK window that AK 1 is 'Id' and DAK 2 is 'Id+M'. Also if the station flag 'Hotline call' is set, it is reflected in the DAK window that DAK 7 is 'Off-hook' and DAK 8 is 'On-hook'.<br\>
2972: Cluster Global, Number check:<br\> a.) If the AlphaNet visibility was set to 'Cluster Global', you did'nt get a warning if the number already existed in the other cluster nodes. Corrected. <br\> b.) Corrected.<br\>
2907: Event - Related to UDP 8:<br\> Bug in storing of data in database. Related-to UDP #N is supposed to be stored in the NVRAM field as (1<<(N-1)). What was stored was N, so UDP #1 would work. Corrected.<br\>
2773: Hebrew language:<br\> Hebrew text appeared to be in the proper way on the list boxes on the left side of the AlphaPro windows, but reversed on the fields on the right side of the windows. Corrected.<br\>
3026: SIP Node can't be configured:<br\> SIP nodes could not be configured since AlphaNet was disabled on Eth0. Corrected.
3006: Dynamic/static on each end: Some display fault when configuring static audio line on one end and dynamic on the other. Corrected.<br\>
3029: Event 28 EDI Text:<br\> When inserting a new event with owner "EDI text config", all event types except 28 are accessible in the event type listbox. It should be opposite. <br\> In addition "When change to" and "When related to" should be grayed out on this event owner. When changing the event, it appears correct as event type 28. Corrected.<br\>
3013: Cluster Global not exported:<br\> Corrected as a result of correction in Issue 2972.<br\>
3008: Com port settings when Eth:<br\> The baudrate and comport settings is now disabled when Eth is selected for communication.<br\>
2864: Change button in Exchange window:<br\> Removed the 'Change' button as the 'System' button has the same function.<br\>
2971: Cluster Identical:<br\> When a feature was set to Cluster Identical AlphaPro would search for the current Directory number in the other cluster nodes, instad of the current Feature/Id. Corrected.<br\>
2813: NetAudio channel number:<br\> You can change the channel number if the audio link is static. If the audio link is dynamic you are prompted to enter the source physical number after having changed the channel number and you are not allowed to exit the "change" window. You can enter illegal source physical numbers by pressing OK twice after having enetered an illegal value. Corrected.<br\>
2978: Refresh cluster node setting:<br\> After having programmed nodes as part of a cluster, the "Exchange&System" window would have to be closed for the cluster settings to take effect. Corrected.<br\>
2969: Event type 15, WRT All:<br\> When Creating a new event with type event type 15 - Event Trigger, and leave the "When Related" to "All", one should get similar warning as in AlphaPro 9: "Event triggers should normally have a related-to directory number. Do you really want to leave it open?". Corrected.<br\>
2774: Show Receiver number in pagerlistbox:<br\> To get an easy overview the listbox in the pager menu should show the receiver number when entered, as the AlphaPro 9 does today. Corrected.<br\>
2966: Event type 29:<br\> Owner fixed to station 1 (not programmable). When Related to is disabled (not programmable). Event Type text is set to 'AlphaNet Link'. This is only applied to Autoloaded networks.<br\><br\>
Other:<br\> Users and Stations window, Class of Service Drop list: A bug caused the Class of Service Drop list to display COS 1-15 for all defined nodes in the network, instead of filtering out only COS for the current node. Corrected.<br\><br\>
Known bugs/workarounds:<br\> 2562: HTML help:<br\> Context sensitve HTML help is not implemented in AlphaPro.<br\>
2985: Corrupted DMP file:<br\> If you press "Cancel" while WACS is "Reading NVRAM dictionary, please wait..." the .dmp file is corrupted in some way, and you cannot communicate with the exchange any longer. The dmp file has be deleted. When using AlphaPro via serial port this reading process takes quite some time, and this can easily happen.<br\>
3004: Support 20 ms RTP packets:<br\> It should be possible to select packet sizes for RTP packets. Nortel SIP gateway seems to require 20ms packet sizes, currently only possible to configure via tst-console.<br\>
3003: DNS Host names:<br\> AlphaPro dont support entering DNS host names for e.g. SIP proxies, only IP addresses.<br\>
3018: Lock up when WACS is closed:<br\> Log on to a node and enter user + pw. If you now stop WACS while the connection is being established, AlphaPro often freezes and must be restarted<br\>
3033: SendChg and COS:<br\> This week we have been installing a couple of AlphaCom-E exchanges (an E20 in London and an E7 in Kent) using AlphaNet over customers own WAN. All seemed OK until changes were made and sent to the London node which the following notes detail.<br\> Ed programmed the data base for extinction, when I arrived on site in London today I did a get all from London and Kent, all looked ok I made programming changes to groups, global groups, remote numbers,daks and directory numbers. After this I did a send change to London and Kent.<br\> The result was any station not configured as a superuser could not call across the alphanet link if in London and stations in Kent could not do anything.<br\> A send all cured the problem.<br\><br\> <br\><br\>
AlphaPro 10.0.0 (2006-06-08)
Official, available on request. Run InstallAlphaPro.exe from the installation set
Functional changes
None as of now<br\><br\>
Errors corrected
See release note for beta software for errors corrected during beta releases.
Known bugs/workarounds:<br\> 2562: HTML help:<br\> Context sensitve HTML help is not implemented in AlphaPro.<br\>
2711: Copy and add node dB:<br\> Set Path should set the path to a database directory, not to an exchange database. Now the “path directory” actually becomes the name of the Network.<br\>
2979: Enter group hunt dirno:<br\> In the Group window there should be an option to enter dirno + name for group hunt. When Group Hunt is selected, only number and name should be available. (In AlphaPro 9 you could select "group call" or "group hunt" using radio buttons).<br\>
2985: Corrupted DMP file:<br\> If you press "Cancel" while WACS is "Reading NVRAM dictionary, please wait..." the .dmp file is corrupted in some way, and you cannot communicate with the exchange any longer. The dmp file has be deleted. When using AlphaPro via serial port this reading process takes quite some time, and this can easily happen.<br\>
2997: Substation hot-line call:<br\> When a station is set to sub-station in station type, it must be reflected in the DAK window that dak1 is ID and dak2 is ID+M. The same applies to the station flag Hotline call. It must be reflected that dak7 is off-hook action and dak8 is on-hook action. (Like in AP9).<br\>
3004: Support 20 ms RTP packets:<br\> It should be possible to select packet sizes for RTP packets. Nortel SIP gateway seems to require 20ms packet sizes, currently only possible to configure via tst-console.<br\>
3006: Dynamic/Static audio line on each end:<br\> It is not possible to configure static audio line on one end and dynamic at the other. When you set up one end of netaudio it automatically sets up the other end. <br\> It should be possible to have a "transit exchange" in the middle with dynamic audio links, and remote satelittes with static licences.<br\>
3003: DNS Host names:<br\> AlphaPro dont support entering DNS host names for e.g. SIP proxies, only IP addresses.
