_______________________ KP-Series RVON Firmware _______________________ These are the release notes for the firmware for the KP-Series keypanels with support for RVON connectivity. This firmware supports all KP-Series keypanels, including the EKP-4016. This support is not applicable to the KP-3016A, since it does not have any Ethernet support. _______________ Other Resources _______________ These release notes describe the RVON variant of the KP-Series firmware. Further documentation on the KP-Series firmware can be found in the release notes for the standard KP-Series firmware. _________________________________ Converting Between OMNEO and RVON _________________________________ In order to convert a keypanel from OMNEO to RVON, you *must* use the Firmware Upload Tool (FWUT). You must specify a .capfw that includes both the main ("client") image and the Audio Processor FPGA image ("Audinate" for OMNEO, "uBlaze" for RVON). If you update just one component, the panel will be unable to establish a network connection, and will display an icon containing the text "Incompatible FPGA Image". In this case, you must use the FWUT to update one or both components. ______________ Change History ______________ Version 1.3.2 (CRC = 5dea) ========================== * In rare instances, after a panel disconnected from an intercom (e.g. due to network connectivity disruptions) it would not reconnect. Fixed. * Added menu option to disable Acoustic Echo Canceller * Changed text of warning icon for improved clarity If the client firmware is incompatible with the Audio FPGA version, a warning icon is shown on the left side of the keypanel's display. The text of this icon was changed to "Incompatible Audio FPGA" instead of "Incompatible FPGA Image" to better distinguish which of the two FPGAs is incompatible. * Display the keypanel's IP address instead of its Device Name. When the keypanel is in RVON mode and not connected to an intercom, the Device Name was displayed on the LCD. Instead, display the keypanel's IP address. * In some cases, active talk keys were not interpreted correctly. Fixed. * Version string now uses "PB" instead of "P" to identify Push Button panels (e.g. "KP-5032PB"). * Fixed PAGE button handling on KP-3016 and DKP-3016 panels Hitting the PAGE button would put the panel in LSTN mode (treating talk key presses as listen key presses), rather than putting it in graphical page mode. Fixed. Version 1.3.0 (CRC = dbcd) ========================== * Added support for DKP-3016 and DKP-3016W panels. * Added support for pushbutton variants of KP-Series panels. * Added support for IPedit to enable/disable AIO mode (requires IPedit V3.4.0). * New icons to indicate when panel is in AIO or RVON mode. * Download of new bootloader firmware image is always allowed (no need to enable). * Extended tallies did not work. Fixed. * Alphas reported to IPedit were not updated after changes recevied from AZedit. Fixed. * Improved communications between EKP and Main panels. * Include FPGA info in version string. * In some cases, the audio level on the front and rear panel mics were 10dB below nominal. Fixed. * Ethernet activity LED didn't blink on 100/10Mbps link. Fixed. * KP might fail to reconnect after brief network disruptions. Fixed. * Factory fresh keypanels would crash shortly after startup. Fixed. * Unable to view scroll lists in AIO mode. Fixed. * Bad EKP icon was never removed once displayed on an EKP. Fixed. * Bad Power icon was never displayed on an EKP. Fixed. * Incoming call tally might not persist for minimum time in Alternate intercom mode. Fixed. * Panels without GPIO were still reporting GPIO input #1 as always active. Fixed. * Swapped use of UPG1 and UPG2 for function type selection in Quick Assign menu. Version 1.2.2R (CRC = 5b6d) =========================== * Initial release of KP-Series-RVON firmware This version contains the same functionality as the standard v1.2.2 release.
