New feature descriptions TC6.1.0
Self view and layouts behavior changes on EX series
The following behavior changes (CSCug21387) have been made for EX series:
Self-view will be turned off when disconnecting - outside call selfview will always be in full screen if
ON
If self-view is ON when connecting, keep selfview in full screen, bring up selfview PIP when
connected.
Increased size of filmstrip, with maximum 3 frames possible.
Reduced support for HTML tags in message alert and message prompts
on screen
For security reasons only <p> and <br> HTML tags are supported in messages on screen (cf.
Message Alert and Message Prompt commands). These tags will result in line breaks as normal. No
other HTML tags will be interpreted; they will appear as text on the screen.
Release key policy change and software upgrade management
As from software version TC6.1, you do not need to install new release keys; it is sufficient that the
video system has a valid release key for any earlier TC software version. This means that it is possible
to upgrade from 6.1.0 to 7.x.x without entering a new release key. A caveat in TC5.1.x web interface
does not allow installing TC6.1 without having a valid TC6.x release key. Other software upgrade
methods will still work.
Due to this change, TC6.1 and later software releases cannot be downloaded from ftp.tandberg.com
anymore.
TC6.1 and later will only be available for download at http://www.cisco.com, for users with a valid
service contract assigned to a CCO (Cisco Online Connection) ID.
Password always prompted on Telnet and SSH
When signing into the video system using Telnet or SSH, the password will always be prompted. This
applies even when the password is empty (not set). This may cause problems with automatic scripts
following the TC5 behavior.
Diagnostics logging
You can use the Touch 8” panel to enable diagnostics logging of the video system. Diagnostics
logging is meant for troubleshooting only, and will lower the system performance while switched on.
