New features

MTN-3270 Wrong default communication password from production

Devices from production are now able to communicate without a factory reset.

MTN-3158 Introduced possibility to reduce output power on the PLC-modem from the web

This option can be used to reduce cross-talk/interference between flowire devices.

MTN-3157 Possibility to get the "Direct on a different network"-list of stations on the web-page

This will help during installation to see if total number of devices can cause communication issues due to too much traffic on the two-wire interface.

Known issues

The "Backup/Restore settings" function in the web only include a few of the settings.


Important information

Interoperability with TFIX-1/2/3 and FCDC-1/2

FCDC3 is compatible with FCDC1/2 including TFIX and Exigo Ex Access panels, but only after these devices have been upgraded to software version 4.1.3.13 or newer. See FCDC-3_-_Backwards_compatibility for more information. In particular, in clusters with mix of FCDC1/2 and FCDC3, one FCDC3 must be set as "CCo".

IGMP snooping / multicast

From vsf-fcdc3-1.0.3.1 IGMP snooping is disabled by default, and add web configuration for enable/disable IGMP snooping. IGMP snooping on FCDC3 only work properly with IGMPv3.

Interoperability with IMT

Upcoming IMT version 1.6.3.0 will support mass upgrade of FCDC3. vsf-fcdc3-1.0.3.0 is the very first version that support mass upgrade from IMT. FCDC3 devices with earlier un-released versions must be manually upgraded via the web.


Version 1.0.3.2 (2020-03-17)

Release Info

  • Name: vsf-fcdc3-1.0.3.2.zip
  • Description: vsf-fcdc3-1.0.3.2_fs_kernel can be installed on FCDC3
  • Version: 1.0.3.2
  • Date: 17.03.2020
  • Status: GA
  • Upgrade: See Flowire Software Upgrade Procedure

  • vsf-fcdc3-1.0.3.2_flash_image_960333PLC_REF.w - Complete image for JTAG/SPI burning at production.

New version vsf-fcdc3-1.0.3.2

vsf-fcdc3-1.0.3.2 is the first version released for General Availability.

vsf-fcdc3-1.0.3.2 fixes interoperability with FCDC1/2 when multiple clusters(MTN-2853).

Several improvements has been made to the web interface. All relevant settings are now listed on the front web page. See Changes.txt in zip file for details.
