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.

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 1.4.0 (CRC = a68d)
==========================

* Fix: Could not view scroll lists when connected to an RVON-IO in remote mode.

* Fix: If the bootloader of an EKP-4016PB was downgraded to v1.2.3 or older, the
  panel became inoperable. In this version, panels will not download bootloader
  v1.2.3 or older to prevent this issue.


Version 1.3.4 (CRC = 9e05)
==========================

* Fix: AEC menu now available even in panels that don't have a rear mic,
  like the KP-3016, so that you can disable AEC on the front mic if desired.

* Fix: Holding on a listen key, and then pressing a talk key would cause the talk key
  press to be treated as a listen key. This has been fixed.

* Fix: When pre-amp output mode is disabled, the mic inputs are not mixed to the pre-
  amp output, but other sources may still be mixed.  In this case, pressing mic mute
  would mute the other sources to the pre-amp output.  This has been fixed.

* Fix: Sometimes connections might not restablish after a disconnect.  This has been fixed.


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.
