ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16 FIRMWARE RELEASE NOTES Last Update 2010/1/26 This listing provides the version number of the NTI ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16 Server Environment Monitoring System firmware file, the date of the release, and a summary of the changes in that release. Note: Sensor configuration settings will be lost during a firmware upgrade. To save time, save a configuration file (see manual-page 47) before upgrading and reload the settings after the upgrade is complete. 3.3 2010/01/26 Feature add: Support for SNMPv3 protocol and functionality added Bug Fix: When a user acknowledged/dismissed alerts from internal sensors, the statement in log file showed "Digital Input" instead of "Internal Sensor". The line in the log file was corrected. Bug Fix: In cascade mode, contact sensors and digital inputs on the slaves could not be permanently removed. The problem was fixed. Note: If you have the ENVIROMUX-MS-SEMS Management Software, an updated version (1.1) is available that also includes support for SNMPv3 protocol. 3.2 2009/12/18 Feature Change: When one entire slave is not responding, the master will issue one unique alert for that slave instead of alerts for each individual sensor connected to that slave. Feature add: Slave unit will use their Enterprise Names to identify themselves in e-mail or trap alerts. Change: If an e-mail is sent to a non-existent e-mail address, the user with that address will be automatically disabled for receiving e-mails. A warning will be posted in the log file. The administrator needs to correct the address and re-enable the user to receive e-mails. Feature Add: The Unit now supports up to five (5)Ethernet Slaves in cascaded mode. Improvement: Reduced the network overload created by the Summary web page and increased the speed of navigation. Bug Fix: When the unit is installed behind a firewall which uses port forwarding to expose the web page to Internet, the Java Applet showing the sensor values does not initialize correctly. An option was added in Network Configuration page and console menu, to configure the unit to work behind a firewall. 3.1 2009/10/09 Feature Add: Added support for ENVIROMUX-MS-SEMS Server Environment Monitoring System Management Software. Feature Add: Added support for ENVIROMUX-3G 3G Serial Modem NOTE: After installing version 3.l, a new Bootloader, version 2, must be loaded before any further updgrades (or downgrades) can be performed. 2.8 2009/07/01 Feature Add: Added support for ENVIROMUX-S5VDC Sensor Converter for monitoring up to two 0-5VDC sensors Feature Change: Siren and beacon alerts enable check boxes were removed from setting page of Output Relays Feature Add: SNMP polling for power supplies and for additional measurement from ACLM sensors Feature Add: Connect the battery immediately after boot to avoid corruption of the flash if power is turned off during start process. Feature Add: Changed the MIB to support the ENVIROMUX-S5VDC Sensor Converter, power supplies, and more information for ACLM sensors. The MIB file has been updated accordingly (use MIB file version 1.07). NOTE: MIB file version 1.07 must be used with Firmware version 2.8. Bug Fix: When a user is removed from the data base, some information of other users was mixed between remaining users. Bug Fix: Removing a "Sensor" or "Digital Input" or "IP Device" did not update the SNMP data base, so that the item would still be shown as present. This has been fixed. 2.6 2009/01/07 Feature Add: Added customizable e-mail subject line for each sensor alert. Feature Add: Added “Simulate”/“Clear” buttons for each sensor to test alert settings. Feature Add: Changed the MIB structure so SNMP traps have unique OID's (Object Identifiers) for each sensor. The MIB file has been updated accordingly (use MIB file version 1.06). NOTE: MIB file version 1.06 must be used with Firmware version 2.6. Feature Add: Added the option for secured (SSL) e-mail servers. This includes web-based servers such as Gmail. Feature Add: Added option to have user specified DNS server when using DHCP, instead of using the server provided DNS servers. Feature Add: Added the ability to use extended ACSII characters in web pages. Bug Fix: Corrected a problem with Power Supply Alerts from slave units (in cascaded configuration). Bug Fix: Corrected a problem where batteries on slave units (in cascaded configuration) were disconnected if their voltage was lower than 10.7V. Bug Fix: Corrected a problem when the data log file rolled over (full), the e- mail (syslog, traps) messages associated with it contained the wrong information. Bug Fix: Fixed the Event Log date/time stamp for Digital Inputs and IP Devices on return to normal. Bug Fix: Fixed a problem with status window display updates not refreshing. 2.5 2008/10/7 Feature Add: Added support for ENVIROMUX-ACLM-V and ENVIROMUX-ACLM-P AC Line Monitors. NOTE: Firmware version 2.5 must be used with MIB file version 1.05. Bug Fix: The configured status of the relay contacts was not being applied during power-up or reboot. This has been fixed. 2.4 2008/3/12 Security Fix: Eliminated a flaw which allows a script typed in the URL field to be ran in the customer browser (cross-site scripting vulnerability) Feature Add: Support for cascading has been introduced Feature Add: Added an option to have the sensors returned to normal status when alert condition clears, without a manual acknowledgement or dismissal of the alert Feature Add: Modified the serial console to support back-to-back characters followed by NUL characters Feature Add: Modified the Event Log and Data Log pages to enhance navigability Feature Add: Added support for Voltage Detector Converter (ENVIROMUX-S60VDC) and 4-20mA Sensor Converter (ENVIROMUX-S420MA) Feature Add: Added a generic contact sensor type for RJ485 sensor connectors named “Dry Contact" Bug Fix: Setting the local time to a value between 12:00 and 12:59:59 will swap AM/PM option. This has been fixed. Bug Fix: Uploading a configuration file occasionally fails and requires a retry. This has been fixed. 2.3 2007/9/6 Feature Add: Support added for dual power supply model (ENVIROMUX-SEMS-16-DP). Bug fix: When sending alert e-mails for internal sensors, the internal sensor temperature value was reported as 0. It now reports the correct temperature. Bug fix: The event “Overflow Actions” (Log Settings page), can no longer be cleared of all selections. It was corrected to have one value selected at all times, with a default to “wrap log” option. Bug fix: The Siren and Beacon alarm functions previously would not work in the event of a power supply failure. This has been fixed. Bug fix: SNMP variable rlyOutputGroupNb (from the MIB file) was returning the wrong values. 2.2 2007/6/27 Now displaying date and time in the Summary page, at the top of the table. Automatic Daylight Saving Time adjustment is now optional. Device will now recover sensors if they are temporarily disconnected and then reconnected (or if sensors do not answer for any reason). Made the left menu bar wider to accommodate longer sensor descriptions. Merged the rows for combo sensors from two rows to one. The “Type” has changed from “Temperature*” to “Temperature Combo” and “Humidity*” to “Humidity Combo”. Added web pages to display the status of power supply(s) and pages to configure alert messages for them. Removed the Power alert configuration from Edit Groups web page. Updated copyright statement on web pages. Feature Added: Added support for newest version of temperature and humidity sensors. Feature Added: Added ability to remotely Reboot the system from the web interface. Feature Added: Added ability to Shut Down from the web interface in the event of a power failure. Bug fix: SNMP values for Relay Outputs and IP Devices were not updated properly. This has been fixed in this revision. The MIB file has been updated and is available for download. Bug fix: Notification of Relay Output status changes were not being sent. This has been fixed in this revision. Bug fix: From View Camera page, moving to another page, then using “BACK” button to return to View Camera page may cause some browsers to load images from cache instead of updated images. This has been fixed. 2.1 2007/01/05 Changed the Daylight Saving Time rules according to new 2007 rules (U.S.A.). Feature added: configurable HTTP Server Port option under Network Administration.
