New Features

IP-LCM support in Alphacom / Pulse / SIP

IP-LCM is now supported in Exigo systems. This device have:
  • 8 robust high power relays
  • 8 robust inputs
  • Powered via the TKIS-2 kit with PoE, PoE inject or external power supply
  • All connections and features from the TKIS-2 kit available

Exigo systems can now be integrated with Pulse systems

Using the SIP interface on Exigo systems allows for integration both ways to pulse systems

EMT - Scan IP range for devices now available

New tool in Operation view to scan an IP range for Exigo devices. From the list of discovered devices it is possible to send a command to the device to make the fault led blink (works for ENA, Access Panel and SSC devices).
By default, the fault led will blink 4 times, 2 blinks pr second. The number of blinks and blink rate can be changed in Options -> Configuration Options.
From the list of discovered devices it is also possible to open the device's Web Configuration page in the default browser.

SNMP traps are now supported by all Exigo devices

SNMP traps for faults are now supported by all Exigo devices. Configuration is done via EMT.

Exigo now supports distributed automatic volume controllers

Distributed Automatic Volume Controllers (dAVC) is TKIS-2 kits which measures background noise in an area and can adjust the volume settings for an amplifier or IP speaker so that the audio is audible above the noise.
  • DAVC devices is monitored as other devices in the Exigo system.
  • Zones with dAVC devices can have "volume override" functionality. Activities with priorities above this threshold will use full volume efficiently ignore background noise adjustments.
  • DAVC Control of zone can be based on: highest, average or average mid. Both average require at least four dAVC devices.
  • Disable AVC function can be used to selectively disable dAVC functionality per zone.
  • Adjustment mode can be positive or negative between two thresholds.
  • Advanced options where attack rate, decay rate, hysteresis and lock out time are available

ENA2100-AC is now supported in Exigo systems

  • Advanced line monitoring and Lets supported
  • Hardware audio bypass supported
  • 2 control outputs with 200mA@24Vdc each
  • 2 control inputs
  • Supported in Exigo mode and Alphacom systems

New ZAP rpcs available for remote integration

  • Restart of Class-D module
  • Identification of devices by toggling fault led
  • Remote toggling of control outputs

Audio bypass is now supported on all Exigo devices

Bypass will route audio directly from the line input to both audio output channels based on the following configuration choices:
  • Always on: This allows the amplifier to operate standalone mode without ESC1 or Alphacom
  • Idle: This allows the amplifier to have bypass activated when no digital audio is present.
  • No connection: This allows the amplifier to activate bypass if it loose connection to ESC1 or Alphacom
  • Always off: This is default for Exigo amplifiers and audio bypass will never be activated
ENA2100-AC: Hardware bypass available for instant forwarding
ENA2200, ENA2400-DC, ENA2400-AC: Audio bypass available after software is up

Zone select can now deselect when activities are started or stopped

This gives more options to how zone select should behave in relation to activities started from the access panels

Adjustable delay of missing devices

It is now possible on a per device level to adjust a delay before the device is reported missing. Default is 0 seconds of delay before the device is reported missing.

Bugfixes and improvements

Detailed channel state in SNMP MIB

Detailed information about the actual state of the audio channel is now included in the SNMP MIB.

Access panels part of zones can now correctly receive messages, alarms and live speech

EMT - Database will handle Exigo Net system ID settings better

EMT - An error window without effect would sometimes appear when changing the name of a zone

EMT - Actions can now be copied to paired devices successfully

Headphone output on ENA2200 and ENA2400 will now not be active unless activated from the GUI
