Known Issues

MTN-4049 IP Heavy Duty Telephone shows speaker volume setting when in Edge Controller mode

IP Heavy Duty Telephones do not have a speaker, this has been disabled in the device model. The setting option in Edge Controller mode does not do anything and should be ignored

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

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

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.

Improvements

MTN-4156 Added option for using Normally Closed switch on I/O Pins configured as input
