Known Issues

CRM-V Access Panels

The CRM Access Panel is based on a different hardware and software than the other Exigo devices.
Hence the functionality is limited compared to the native Exigo ECPIR panels.

Exigo Features Not Supported on the CRM-V Access Panel:

• Call Escalation function.
• Panel lamp test.
• Zone select option "Deselect Zone(s) after activity".

Deviant LED Behavior for the CRM-V Access Panel:

• When triggering local mute control from a DAK on CRM-V, the green LED blinks. Should be steady.
• Recall record green LEDs active when mic test is performed. (AL-2351)
• If microphone test is stopped by timeout, green LED never goes off (this also goes for recall record LEDs).
• Red LED never active when performing mic test. (AL-2351)
• DAK key with "Alarm stop with no zones", green led lit when alarm is active but DAK not possible to use for stopping the alarm.
• Zone select DAK keys can trigger activity indicators green led on other DAK keys with same zone.
• DAKs with message/program/live speech/alarm programmed with zones only triggers green LED when activated.
• Zone selection to all zones on DAK. No LED activity when audio activity in only some zones.
• LED for live speech lit when recall control active (and vice versa).

Workaround: Avoid use of CRM-V panels for functionality that is not supported.

System Configuration (Commissioning)

Adding a new non-existing panel to the system will only report "missing device" in the ESC1 A. (AL-2585) (After first time registration of panel the "missing device" reports will always be displayed in both A and B controller.)
Workaround: On commissioning, ensure that the panel has been registered.

Newly added ENAx does not receive audio. (AL-2345)
Workaround: On commissioning, ensure that ENAx is rebooted after first time configuration.

System Status DAK indicators - Incorrect status after reconfiguration from system status from A to system status from B (AL-2207)
Workaround: If changing the configuration of original A/B system from where "System Status DAK LED" should be showing, reboot the panel involved to assure changes take effect.

Device IP settings in WEB lost after upgrading from EXI-Firmware version 4.1 to 4.2. Device still has the same static IP address. (AL-1668)
Workaround: Exigo mode in device WEB has to be manually selected when going from 4.1 to 4.2.

ECPIR-3P behaves as registered, after being removed from system, for up to 5 minutes, (AL-2177)
Workaround: Unplug the panel or wait for 5 minutes.

ESC1 Call list: Long program names will not be displayed correctly (AL-2531)
Workaround: Limit program names to 10 standard characters.

EMT - SNMP Community string allows space character but SNMP does not support space. (AL-2550)
Workaround: Avoid using space in the community string.

It is not possible to remove the options "Overwrite Destination" or "Timeout" from an already configured Call Escalation DAK without rebooting. (AL-2209,AL-2458)
Workaround: Panel must be rebooted after updated configuration sent from EMT.

Call option "Release delay" does not work in combination with call option "Wait for PTT". (AL-2610)
Workaround: Avoid using this combination.

"Live Speech" from DAK with "Wait for PTT" and "Timeout", starts timer from when DAK is pressed, not when PTT is pressed. (AL-2197)
Workaround: Add additional 5 second Live Speech timeout when using this configuration (Wait for PTT timeout is 5 sec).

Line Monitoring

During continuous LET monitoring and GA at high volume, LETs sometimes fail. (AL-2153)
Workaround: Always have "Suspend Monitoring" enabled.

Corrections

Flowire, RSTP Setup

Network storm could be generated and destabilize the system during a combination of high system traffic and connection instability on the primary Flowire link to an Access Panel.

Database on ENA Sometimes Lost when Device is Rebooted During High Traffic

Buffered configuration data was not written to configuration file if the device rebooted during high traffic situations.

ESC1 Long Term Stability

Reboot of ESC1 has been observed after 3+ months of continuously monitoring the internal DSPs status.

ESC1 Fault List and Attached Device List Not Being Synchronized

After reset of an A/B system, B devices not connected would generate a system fault message in the A Controller (should only report to B).

White Noise on Devices Running EXI-Firmware

The internal audio driver could enter a faulty state, resulting in noise from audio sources. The white noise could occur when the device was sourcing audio to "Live Speech" or "Program" for all devices running EXI-Firmware.

ENAx Line Monitoring Reports Wrong Fault State in Complex Speaker Line Configurations

Due to tolerances of the line monitoring, sometimes the wrong fault state has been reported. Now state "Open" and "Shorted" are both reported as "Line fault".

Access Panel Fault LED Stops Indicating Local Faults if Local ESC1 is Down

Exigo Panels configured with fault-LED for indication of local fault does not show local fault if the ESC1 is down.

Audio Activity stops After Release Delay Timeout

Exigo Calls using the release delay feature would terminate if the call was re-started within the release delay timeout period.

CRM-V Access Panel, LED behavior

• The activity range configuration for the Zone selection action was not working on the CRM-V station.
• Microphone LED blinking when connected and with no faults in the system.
  

ENAx Remains in Suspended Monitoring if ESC1 Reboots During Suspension

If monitoring was suspended on an ENAx and the controller rebooted, the monitoring would not be reactivated.

ECPIR Access Panel, Activity LED Behaviour

• Configuring and activating several call setup DAK keys with partly overlapping zones could indicate queued state on wrong DAK key.
  
• Using call escalation, with the option "always include" enabled, resulted in disabling the green LED indicating Live Speech when the call was escalated.
  
• Microphone Test: Call LED was lit when toggled off during playback.

Tick Tone Test in Zone not Working for TKIS Kits and IP Speakers

The tick tone test was not supported for TKIS kits and IP speakers.

ENAx, Drift in Audio Between A and B System

The audio from A and B amplifiers could drift, if a call was active for a long time, due to increasing jitter buffer variations between the amplifiers.

Live Speech with Wait for PTT - Not Possible to Toggle off Before 5 Second Timeout

When starting a Live Speech with the option "Wait for PTT" enabled, without pressing the PTT-button, the waiting live speech could not be canceled before a 5 second timeout.
