====MTN-3453 Exigo missing multicast reporting can now be delayed using the delay line error timer====
 +
Missing multicast is checked sequentially with a 0.1 sec delay between each device, and with a 5 sec delay for each round of pings. 6 subsequent missing pings trigger a fault for the device. The line_down_rep_delay can now be used to extend the timeout by allowing additional missing pings. The timer will scale based on connected devices and will therefore become larger for large systems.

 +
====MTN-3368 Channel shutdown fix====
 +
Amplifier will turn off channel output when channel in shutdown, increased channel shutdown detection sensitivity

== Bugfixes and improvements ==
 +
 +
==== Not able to scroll all the way down in System Menu ====
 +
There was a large change in System Menu UI between EMT version 1.4 and 1.5. Reverted back DockPanel inside ScrollViewer to get whole menu under the same scrollbar and added special handling for allowing mouse wheel input on entire menu.
 +
 +
==== Secondary System Controller registers as call panel ====
 +
Upgrading from 1.2 to 1.4 is not possible without rewriting the database in 1.4 version of EMT. Reason for that is because there were a lot of changes in ZAP config and device handling between those 2 versions, meaning some older config is not compatible with the new one anymore. One of the changes is reduction of used DIP registrations (numbers) that devices take on PSC in new SW version which could cause this issue.
 +
 +
==== EMT can select multicast addresses with number larger than 255 ====
 +
EMT will now calculate multicast addresses in a smarter way and still remain within the valid range.
 +
 +
==== Diagnostics feature gradually freezing up the ESC1/ENAxxxx ====
 +
A bug in the diagnostics feature allowed new and duplicated entries to be added to the status list. This kept on growing until the memory of the device was filled up, which in turn triggers a reboot of the system. This is now corrected.
 +
 +
==== Invalid source option in Live Speech on TKIS-2 kit ====
 +
EMT has changed, and this issue has been removed. Now it is possible to choose the TKIE as a source, and then configure the TKIE itself to use mic or line in.

== New Features ==
 +
==== Modbus interface ====
 +
The Exigo Controller implements a Modbus TCP slave (server) interface on the standard Modbus port, TCP port 502.
 +
The Modbus interface in Exigo has two main features:
 +
* Status about amplifiers and panels connected to the Controller can be read from a 16 bit Modbus Input Register.
 +
* PA calls and announcements can be triggered by writing to a Modbus Coil Register.
 +
Configuration of PA Calls and announcements is done through EMT.
 +
 +
==== Option to configure delay for Exigo Network Amplifiers ====
 +
It is now possible to add delay per channel per Exigo Network Amplifier.
 +
 +
== Bugfixes and improvements ==
 +
 +
==== Pilot tone turned off during suspend monitoring ====
 +
The pilot tone is turned off during suspend monitoring if no LETs in the system.
 +
 +
==== Amplifier Class D chip may crash when analog bypass is used ====
 +
When analog bypass is used on ENA2200/ENA2400, audio filters were not active which could cause Class D chip to crash. Analog bypass is now changed to Digital (SW) bypass that applies audio filters. <br>
 +
In Exigo Management Tool, the Amplifier output channel setting "HW Bypass Mode" on all ENA amplifier types is renamed to "Bypass Mode". <br>
 +
Also, the Bypass Mode can now be set individually for each Amplifier output channel on all ENA device types.
 +
 +
==== Improved System Controller performance ====
 +
Improved startup procedure in Exigo System Controller to allow loading of large configuration databases.
 +
 +
==== "Disable AVC" input-action creates toggle-action on key press_action event ====
 +
When adding the "Disable AVC" input-action to a key node, EMT previously created a start-action on the press_action event and stop-action on the release_action event. The behavior is changed so that a single toggle-action is created on the press_action event; nothing is triggered by the release_action event. In effect, this changes the AVC function to be disabled with one press on the configured key, and re-enabled with a consecutive press.
 +
 +
==== EMT: "Recall, Record" input action did not display "Wait for PTT flag" ====
 +
In EMT, when dropping a "Recall, Record" input action onto a Control Input, the "Wait for PTT" flag was not displayed. It was correctly displayed when dropped onto a CI on_action or off_action.
 +
 +
==== Program name change was not updated in configuration tree ====
 +
EMT needed to restart/reload database for an updated program name to be displayed correctly in the configuration tree.
 +
 +
== Known issues ==
 +
==== EAPIR-8 The Microphone input is not working ====
 +
 +
==== Fault indication - It is possible to change from "or" to "and" between fields, but not inside one field ====
 +
 +
==== Tick tone will not be played out on access panels which is part of a zone ====
 +
 +
==== SIP devices for integration can only have directory numbers with numbers. Alphanumeric numbers are not supported ====
 +
 +
==== The same fault ID can not be used on different buttons on an access panel - This will result in wrong LED behavior ====
 +
 +
==== Flowire - For turning of monitoring of Flowire devices completely a full chilly restart must be done ====
 +

==== EMT - Only one dialog box can be open if more than one EMT version is open ====

Bugfixes and improvements

Not able to scroll all the way down in System Menu

There was a large change in System Menu UI between EMT version 1.4 and 1.5. Reverted back DockPanel inside ScrollViewer to get whole menu under the same scrollbar and added special handling for allowing mouse wheel input on entire menu.

Secondary System Controller registers as call panel

Upgrading from 1.2 to 1.4 is not possible without rewriting the database in 1.4 version of EMT. Reason for that is because there were a lot of changes in ZAP config and device handling between those 2 versions, meaning some older config is not compatible with the new one anymore. One of the changes is reduction of used DIP registrations (numbers) that devices take on PSC in new SW version which could cause this issue.

EMT can select multicast addresses with number larger than 255

EMT will now calculate multicast addresses in a smarter way and still remain within the valid range.

Diagnostics feature gradually freezing up the ESC1/ENAxxxx

A bug in the diagnostics feature allowed new and duplicated entries to be added to the status list. This kept on growing until the memory of the device was filled up, which in turn triggers a reboot of the system. This is now corrected.

Invalid source option in Live Speech on TKIS-2 kit

EMT has changed, and this issue has been removed. Now it is possible to choose the TKIE as a source, and then configure the TKIE itself to use mic or line in.

New Features

Modbus interface

The Exigo Controller implements a Modbus TCP slave (server) interface on the standard Modbus port, TCP port 502. The Modbus interface in Exigo has two main features:

  • Status about amplifiers and panels connected to the Controller can be read from a 16 bit Modbus Input Register.
  • PA calls and announcements can be triggered by writing to a Modbus Coil Register.

Configuration of PA Calls and announcements is done through EMT.

Option to configure delay for Exigo Network Amplifiers

It is now possible to add delay per channel per Exigo Network Amplifier.

Bugfixes and improvements

Pilot tone turned off during suspend monitoring

The pilot tone is turned off during suspend monitoring if no LETs in the system.

Amplifier Class D chip may crash when analog bypass is used

When analog bypass is used on ENA2200/ENA2400, audio filters were not active which could cause Class D chip to crash. Analog bypass is now changed to Digital (SW) bypass that applies audio filters.
In Exigo Management Tool, the Amplifier output channel setting "HW Bypass Mode" on all ENA amplifier types is renamed to "Bypass Mode".
Also, the Bypass Mode can now be set individually for each Amplifier output channel on all ENA device types.

Improved System Controller performance

Improved startup procedure in Exigo System Controller to allow loading of large configuration databases.

"Disable AVC" input-action creates toggle-action on key press_action event

When adding the "Disable AVC" input-action to a key node, EMT previously created a start-action on the press_action event and stop-action on the release_action event. The behavior is changed so that a single toggle-action is created on the press_action event; nothing is triggered by the release_action event. In effect, this changes the AVC function to be disabled with one press on the configured key, and re-enabled with a consecutive press.

EMT: "Recall, Record" input action did not display "Wait for PTT flag"

In EMT, when dropping a "Recall, Record" input action onto a Control Input, the "Wait for PTT" flag was not displayed. It was correctly displayed when dropped onto a CI on_action or off_action.

Program name change was not updated in configuration tree

EMT needed to restart/reload database for an updated program name to be displayed correctly in the configuration tree.

Known issues

EAPIR-8 The Microphone input is not working

Fault indication - It is possible to change from "or" to "and" between fields, but not inside one field

Tick tone will not be played out on access panels which is part of a zone

SIP devices for integration can only have directory numbers with numbers. Alphanumeric numbers are not supported

The same fault ID can not be used on different buttons on an access panel - This will result in wrong LED behavior

Flowire - For turning of monitoring of Flowire devices completely a full chilly restart must be done

EMT - Only one dialog box can be open if more than one EMT version is open

Bugfixes and improvements

Exigo Controller DSP Fault Result in Missing Audio

In the unlikely situation of the A-Controller DSP processor stops working, audio from messages and alarm generator will be missing.
This situation is now avoided by lowering priority of the A-controller when DSP fault detected. This will assure usage of B-controller audio in the system.

Bugfixes and improvements

SIP Trunk Stations Should Only Use Trunk License

SIP trunk stations now allocate SIP trunk license when in call. Previously each configured SIP trunk station required a SIP station license.
  • For customers using SIP trunk stations, previously used SIP station licenses will not be used after upgrade.
  • The maximum number of simultaneous SIP trunk stations in call, will relate to the number of SIP trunk licenses in the system.
Please consult Customer Service if SIP station licenses needed to be converted to SIP trunk licenses.

Lamp test would adversly affect time-limited blinking leds

LED's which were blinking (example due to a live speech timeout) would lock and continue to blink after the lamp test was finished.

Unicast was missing call information related to volume settings

Volume settings would not work on Exigo amplifiers set to receive unicast from PSC

SNMPv2c getBulkrequest issues fixed

SNMP now correctly handles bulk requests with multiple OID which goes beyond one OID. This would previously crash the SNMP process and restart the device.

Issue related to multiple call escalations

Fixed an issue where multiple call escalation IDs on a call with always include zones and clear call escalation on first activity would not work correctly in combination.

Fixed issue with HD-Mode where audio would leak between two channels on one amplifier

Exigo systems under high load could in some cases send PA messages in some additional zones for a few seconds.

VAD configured on a line input will no longer trigger "read ip adress" if a control input is shorted

Fixed an issue where configured VAD would cause the amplifier to read its IP-address if the amplifier was started before the PSC was ready.

VAD will now continue to work after a reboot

VAD stopped working after a reboot due to a mismatch in configuration

ReCall from SIP trunk

Activating the ReCall function from a SIP trunk using codec G711, did not play out the recorded message. Fixed.

ZAP can now be used to set volume levels on all amplifiers and kits

Volume override can now be used correctly with advanced volume control

Volume override can now be used both on channels and zones to force max volume if an activity has a priority above a configured level

Fixed memory leak on control inputs with external fault

Device with a external fault on a control input would reboot after around 9000 activations due to a memory leak in libstpanels json handling.

Option "Replace" on call type Live Speech

It is now possible to use the option Replace on call type Live Speech.

Known issues

Fault indication - It is possible to change from "or" to "and" between fields, but not inside one field

Tick tone will not be played out on access panels which is part of a zone

SIP devices for integration can only have directory numbers with numbers. Alphanumeric numbers are not supported

  • 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.
