MEGAPOWER 3200 RELEASE 2.0
RELEASE NOTES
Work Around
If an RS 232 port on the port module of an MPCPU is configured as a satellite
port in the Definitions: Satellite Sites screen in the EASY CPU Configurator, it
cannot be changed to another port type in the System: Port Configurations
screen unless it is deleted as a satellite port in the Definitions: Satellite Sites
screen.
If you attempt to change the port type or baud rate in the System: Port
Configurations screen, the EASY CPU Configurator will let you make the change
and will report that the change was made. However, the baud rate will change,
but the port type will remain unchanged on the MPCPU. The EASY CPU
Configurator does not give any indication that the change was not made. If you
write the file to the MPCPU and then read back the configuration from the
MPCPU, the EASY CPU Configurator reports the old port type and the new baud
rate configured for that RS 232 port. The port remains configured as a satellite
port.
To change the port type, first delete the port type as a satellite port in the
Definitions: Satellite Sites screen, and then change to another port type in the
System: Port Configurations screen.
While this feature has been added to the MPCPU firmware, There is currently no
way to configure it from the EASY CPU Configurator.
This function has been changed. You can no longer delete cameras in this
release.
S3 should be replaced by the EASY CPU Configurator to allow the visibility of
monitors 129 256. The refresh rate of the monitor status is dependent on
network delays and traffic.
Click OK on each error message that appears, and then enter the correct IP
address for the MPCPU in either the Systems–Options (CPU #1) screen or in
the File–Read dialog box.
This error only applies to a few MPCPUs that have been identified with this
problem. These units have been sent to Engineering for validation.
These enhanced features have not been implemented in this release. There is
no work-around, except to follow the instructions pertaining to entering
information that is found in the Administrator's Guide.
More recent enhancements in the MPCPU have reduced the delay time to less
than 2 seconds in this release.
There is no work-around in this release. You will continue to see duplicate
entries for each logged activity.
Launch only one Activity Log Client session at a time. Any additional launches
for the same IP address will not display any log data. The MPCPU only supports
one Activity Log Client session for the selected MPCPU IP address.
In a hot-switch arrangement, avoid simultaneous access to the Menu mode of
both MPCPUs by not issuing both 100 and 101 menu access commands from
the same keyboard. This can cause menu cursor positions to become
unsynchronized.
There is no work-around in this release of EASY CPU. Note: If the MPCPUs are
synchronized as they should be in normal operation, the standby CPU data is
simply a duplicate of the active CPU data.
Use either the Edit menu Copy/Paste options or the keyboard copy/paste (Ctrl-
C/Ctrl-V) capabilities. Copy/paste functions are for rows; columns cannot be
selected, only individual cells.
