RVON-1 and RVON-2, version 2.7.1 -------------------------------- Included Files: --------------- Release Notes: readme.txt Main application: rvonkp.bib Boot code: adam2EB.bin Utilities: abortos, applodr, aupdater, cmp, cp, defrag, ftp, info, printenv, rm, setenv, unsetenv Upgrade Procedure ----------------- Normally, a new version of the main application (rvonkp.bib) would be installed simply by downloading it from RVONedit. However, it may occasionally be necessary to replace the boot code (adam2EB.bin) and/or the onboard utilities, which requires the use of the RVONFILE utility with V1.1.0 or later. New in version 2.7.1 -------------------- Added new IPedit commands: reset authentication, factory reset If a user (logged in with Admin permissions) holds down Shift+Ctrl while right-clicking the RVON device in the catalog on the left-hand side, the pop-up context menu includes two new items: Reset Authentication Table Restore Factory Defaults (If the option is selected to restore the factory defaults, the device will reboot after the relevant sections of flash memory are updated) These commands require IPedit v3.6.2 or later. Added security for various commands The following operations have been re-implemented so that they are more secure: - Clear channel and pass-through statistics - Tear down channel(s) - Reboot card - Enable/disable Telnet Admin permissions are now required in order to enable or disable Telnet. These commands now require IPedit v3.6.2 or later. Added security features for compliance with California Senate Bill 327 For new devices, authentication must now be configued when first connecting to the device. This is necessary for compliance with California Law, re: SB327: An act to add Title 1.81.26 (commencing with Section 1798.91.04) to Part 4 of Division 3 of the California Civil Code, relating to information privacy. With IPedit v3.6.2 or later, IPedit will switch to the Authentication tab, and display a message notifying the user of this requirement. Until authentication has been configured, the device will not allow any changes to be made; and IPedit (v3.6.2 or later) will switch to read-only mode. With earlier versions of IPedit, no notification will be displayed, but the device will still refuse to accept any changes until authentication has been configured. No change needs to be made to existing devices when this version of firmware is downloaded; however, if the authentication table is reset, or a factory reset is performed on the device, it will then enter the state where it requires authentication to be configured. New in version 2.7.0 -------------------- Support connections to RVON+ and ODIN-RVON devices. Versions prior to 2.7.0 can still connect to an RVON+ (first 16 channels only) or an ODIN-RVON if you configure the channel to connect to an RVON-16. With V2.7.0, IPedit V3.6.0 or later will allow you to select the new device types for channel configuration. Fix: An attached keypanel was unable to select offer Fix: If the aux channel was configured first, the attached keypanel would be unable to power-up with new keypanel protocol support. Fix: Freeze recent bandwidth statistics when channel goes down New in version 2.6.0 -------------------- Supports reporting unique ID to IPedit for improved IPedit catalog management. Supports reporting intercom name and port alpha for each connected channel to IPedit. Supports intercoms with more than 2000 locally scrollable alphas. New in version 2.5.2 -------------------- Supports reporting MAC address to IPedit. New in version 2.5.1 -------------------- Report name of null assignment to keypanel as "----" (4 dashes) even if the keypanel is in 6 or 8 character mode (to be consistent with how the AIO reports it). Supports advanced features of the KP-Series keypanels. New in version 2.5.0 -------------------- Supports reporting keypanel alarms to intercom (ie. keypanel babbling) (Requires RVON-8/16 V2.5.0 and MCII-e V3.2.1 or higher) New in version 2.4.4 -------------------- Fixed security issue with authentication of telnet users. New in version 2.4.2 -------------------- Improved keypanel communications. Fixed SNMP channel reporting bug. New in version 2.4.0 -------------------- Support for trunking of up to 255 intercoms. (Requires a TM-10K Trunk Master, plus intercom and keypanel firmware support). Support for new keypanel protocol (which can cut firmware download times in half). (Also requires intercom and keypanel firmware support). New in version 2.3.2 -------------------- Improved keypanel communications. New in version 2.3.0 -------------------- Support for keypanels with up to 128 keys Note that support for up to 128 keys also requires V2.3.0 in the RVON-8/16/C. Don't pass on connection offer to keypanel if don't have the right alpha size (for instance if the keypanel wants Unicode alphas, but the intercom doesn't support Unicode alphas). New in version 2.2.0 -------------------- Support for the separate CWW key on the KP 32 CLD (65th key) Support for Micron flash type (replacement for Intel part) Requires new adam2EB.bin boot code and utilities to support Micron flash type Panels marked as "babbling" would never be allowed to power-up again (Fixed) Send key refresh to intercom even when no keypanel connected. New in version 2.1.6 -------------------- This version changes the name of the application image to rvonkp.bib (from rvon1.bib). The application image now supports both RVON-1 and RVON-2 boards (collectively RVON-KP). The boot code (adam2EB.bin) now also supports both RVON-1 and RVON-2 boards. The info utility now also supports both RVON-1 and RVON-2 boards. New in version 2.1.5 -------------------- If corrupt Ethernet link configuration settings are detected, the card now defaults to auto-negotiate mode. Previously, the card would be forced into 10Mbps, half duplex, but if the switch to which the card is connected was fixed at 100Mbps, full duplex, then the card would not be able to create an Ethernet link. New in version 2.1.4 -------------------- Changed codec initialization for lower noise floor. Make sure there is enough free flash space to download new code image. New in version 2.1.2 -------------------- Support for RVON-16. Improved Ethernet auto-negotiation. New in version 2.0.0 -------------------- DIP 4 resets authentication table to default user names and passwords. Changes to Telnet access rights take place on activation (no reboot required). Unsent changes made via Telnet are aborted after two minutes of inactivity. Sending changes from RVONedit gets "No Sessions" if changes pending via Telnet. Sending device IP info only causes reboot if something actually changes. Added SNMP support. New in version 1.3.0 -------------------- Support for RVONedit. Added device and channel descriptions. Made VAD thresholds settable on a per-channel basis. (Previously, there was one VAD threshold for all channels.) New in version 1.2.0 -------------------- Support for RVON-C. Switch to VxWorks IP Stack from Telogy IP Stack. New in version 1.1.0 -------------------- Support for RVON-IO. New in version 1.0.0 -------------------- Initial release of the RVON-1 firmware. NOTE: Requires RVON-8 V1.1.0 or later. NOTE: Must be installed in a keypanel with either: - KP-32 V2.0.0 or later, (including KP-632, KP-832 and Japanese variants) - KP-812 V1.1.0 or later
