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
IMT version 1.6.3.0 or newer must be used for upgrading of FCDC3.

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.

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