Normally, a new version of the main application (rvonkp.bib) would be installed 
simply by  downloading it from RVONedit.  However, it may occassionally 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.

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

(Also requires intercom and keypanel firmware support).


New in version 2.3.2
--------------------

Improved keypanel communications.


New in version 2.3.0

New in version 2.1.6
