Release Notes

ViewStation EX, ViewStation FX, and VS4000, Version 6.0.5
Polycom is pleased to announce the version 6.0.5 software release for Polycom ViewStation
systems.
What's New in This Release?
Polycom software release 6.0.5 is available as a free software update for ViewStation EX/FX/VS4000
customers. Version 6.0.5 addresses the issues described in the
following new functionality.
New Mixed IP and Gateway Dialing
With this version, the ViewStation EX/FX/VS4000 and MGC
smoothly for sites transitioning to IP only and using the MGC gateway to perform all
necessary ISDN calls. In addition, the address book supports mixed gateway and IP calls.
IP-Only Sites
For a system to be truly IP-only, it must not have a V.35 or ISDN module connected to it.
The system works differently if you simply disable ISDN as a call preference type.
Differences in Dialing Addresses
The difference between a gateway call and an ordinary IP call is that in a gateway call, the
system attempts to prefix a number(s) to the ISDN number. When the dialing address
arrives at the gateway, the gateway can use the prefix to determine what call rate to dial.
With gateways you can also use E.164 addresses, which can appear to look exactly like
ISDN addresses, or an IP alias. This alias can be all alphabetic characters, and the
gatekeeper resolves the IP address in order to call the far site.
One Dial Preferences
The Primary Call Type can be ISDN, IP, or Manual, and the Secondary Call Type can be
ISDN, IP, or None. These settings affect ISDN/IP rollover scenarios. ISDN/IP rollover
occurs in the Manual Dialer when the call type is set to Auto and when dialing a single
address book entry with both protocol types filled in. In these scenarios, the system uses
the One Dial Preferences to decide what type of call to dial first based on the Primary Call
Choice. If that fails, it will try the Secondary Call Choice if it is not set to None. If the
Primary Call Choice is set to Manual, the call protocol should default to ISDN for the
manually dialed calls and the user should be prompted for address book dialed calls.
ISDN/IP rollover will never occur in a multipoint address book entry; however,
gateway-to-ISDN rollover described in the next section will occur.

  • Page 1: Release Notes

    Polycom is pleased to announce the version 6.0.5 software release for Polycom ViewStation systems. What’s New in This Release? Polycom software release 6.0.5 is available as a free software update for ViewStation EX/FX/VS4000 customers. Version 6.0.5 addresses the issues described in the following new functionality.
  • Page 2 When the first connection goes down, a second is able to reconnect to port 24. The ViewStation EX/FX/VS4000 system deems the first connection inactive and closes it after 30 seconds of no incoming data. This behavior is not designed to service two simultaneous connections to port 24, but prevents a single connection from hanging and the need for a system reboot to clear this condition.
  • Page 3 Release Notes ViewStation EX/FX/VS4000, Version 6.0.5 If both connections on port 24 are active and there is no room for another incoming connection, then the ViewStation EX/FX/VS4000 system properly refuses this incoming connection with a Port Disconnect message. Corrected Issues The following table lists issues corrected in version 6.0.5.
  • Page 4 Streaming Limitation If a user made a three-way H.323 conference with two iPower™ systems and a ViewStation EX/FX/VS4000, with one of the iPower systems serving as the MCU, and the user sent content from the non-MCU iPower, the ViewStation EX/FX/VS4000 system did stop displaying the content after a few minutes.
  • Page 5 Release Notes ViewStation EX/FX/VS4000, Version 6.0.5 Feature Telnet/API User Interface V.35 Communication Video Web Interface Limitation During a Telnet session with the system, the reboot command prompted the user with the "reboot, are you sure <y,n>" prompt. If the user entered a capital 'Y' or 'N', the system would respond with a "command not found"...

  • Page 6: Feature Limitations

    The remote control may not work as well at long distances. • This type of interference may be experienced with a ViewStation EX/FX or with the PowerCam or PowerCam Plus cameras as used with the VS4000. Polycom recommends separating the camera from the plasma display to avoid this interference.
