communication bandwidth. This helps avoiding unnecessarily long
roundtrip-times for messages in large systems.
------------------------------------------------
RCP5000 FEATURES
- UI support for new generation of PMX3212 (type 06.07)
------------------------------------------------
RCP5000 Fixes
- fixed bug #827
The new UI of the CAD5121 and CAD5122 did not correctly implement
dependency between "Contrast" and "Gain" for Channel 1. As an effect,
the "Contrast" control would not be enabled in the UI as expected.
- fixed bug #832
In the UI of PVD3010, the external AES connections would be shown as
"enabled" if only option P_VD_MXDX was active. In fact, the external
AES connections are active only on option P_VD_AP. The display in the
UI has now been adapted accordingly.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 3.7.2 (build 186, 10.Oct.2006)
COMPATIBLE with client software 3.7.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).

------------------------------------------------
New Features
- re-formatted the Logfile-entries about device-specific events to
describe the reporting device (name and position) as human readable
text.
------------------------------------------------
RCT5030 Fixes
- fixed bug #760: Restore of multiple MiniModules fails with timeout.
When restoring a backup set spawning multiple MiniModules
(in a RTR3010, requires SW-license RSL_BR20 or RSL_BR30), then
a certain percentage of items would always end up in a
"restore failed on timeout" state.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 3.4.3 (build 172, 07.Jun.2006)
COMPATIBLE with client software 3.4.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
recommended client software: 3.4.3 or above.
------------------------------------------------
RCP5000 Fixes
- fixed bug: Under very rare circumstances it could happen, that a
device is not shown in the RCP's list of devices although it has
correctly been detected (as can be seen in the logfiles). This was a
bug in the presentation logic. Fixed now.
------------------------------------------------
RCT5030 Fixes
- removing a Device immediatley after it had just been detected
by the system could lead to a situation where the device was never
removed from the system. This has been fixed now.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 3.4.1 (build 170, 29.May.2006)
COMPATIBLE with client software 3.4.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
RCT5030 FEATURES
- Improved server side support for PTG3610
The client version (RCP5000/PC-GUI) 3.4.1 makes use of these improvements
which results in a much more reliable remote control of the
PTG3610 (Testor)
------------------------------------------------
RCP5000 FEATURES
- Improvements to the Web-Interface:
- changes to several parameters of the network configuration (page
"System Settings") can be applied at once
- server(s) can be explicitly restarted (page "System Settings")
- Improved feedback in local RCP display if connection to a configured
server could not be established.
- Significantly reduce network traffic and server CPU load when
logging into a remote server (RCT5030). This improvement is only
available when client and server are both using version 3.4.1 (or
above).
------------------------------------------------
RCP5000 Fixes
- fixed bug #691: applying a change to the Panel Connections on the
Web-Interface required the repeated specification of the server
password. Changed to require the password only once.
- fixed bug #734: modifying the Panel Connections from the Web-Interface
required a restart of panel server to become effective.
- fixed bug #744: Display of GAIN values off by 0.5 dB for devices
DAA3320/DAA5320.
- fixed bug: remove bogus entry "local COM ports" from list of
available server connections in RCP frontpanel menu.
- fixed bug #754: DVD5420: Master LED in GUI sometimes not correct.
The Master LED color of a DVD5420 in the GUI/RCP5000 is sometimes
not correct (according to master LED on the module)
- fixed connection bug: when a server was restarted (e.g. because it
was being re-configured) while a client was just logging in, the
client (here: RCP5000) would appear to be locked for a long time
(depending on number of devices at that server), before resuming
normal operation. Now the client returns to the "disconnected" state
within very short time, as expected.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 3.4.0 (build 167, 20.Apr.2006)
COMPATIBLE with client software 3.4.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).

LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 3.3.4 (build 165, 05.Apr.2006)
COMPATIBLE with client software 3.3.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
RCT5030 Fixes
- fixed bug: in very large systems (many controllers and devices),
accessing a large number of parameters (in different devices) at the
same time can set the server into a high-traffic mode, not
responding to any outside message anymore. This could lead the
watchdog into restarting the server.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 3.3.3 (build 164, 03.Apr.2006)
COMPATIBLE with client software 3.3.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).

===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 3.1.2 (build 159, 22.Feb.2006)
COMPATIBLE with client software 3.1.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
RCT5030 stability improvement
- made sure that the RCT5030 watchdog process cannot be blocked
by a device-server application with higher priority. This prevents
from potential dead-locks of the complete system by such situations.
------------------------------------------------
RCP5000 Fixes
- fixed bug #703: RCP5000 to PTG5010: cannot activate Sequence Patterns
It is not possible to activate a Sequence Pattern in the PTG5010
using the RCP5000. All static patterns are selectable OK.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 3.1.1 (build 158, 14.Feb.2006)
COMPATIBLE with client software 3.1.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fixed bug #701: Serial number of RCT3000 could not be read in GUI
The GUI did not display the correct serial number for the RCT3000
- fixed bug #702: A problem introduced in release 3.1.0 could block
all communication to MiniModule behind Service Adapter as well as i
to RackExpansions.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 3.1.0 (build 157, 13.Feb.2006)
COMPATIBLE with client software 3.1.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fixed bug that could lead to a situation in which the server application
would not react to remote-IF commands anymore. This would also imply
a general performance impact on the server application (very slow response
to any event, network command etc.)
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 3.0.1 (build 156, 24.Jan.2006)
COMPATIBLE with client software 3.0.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fixed bug #688: DVA5110: status LED color in UI sometimes not correct
In the UI (GUI/RCP5000/...) the color of the status LED of theDVA5110
was sometimes not correct (i.e. not same color as LED on the board itself)
- fixed bug #696: Sending repeated Read-Subscribe ('RS') commands over the
LYNX Remote Interface would ultimatively lead to RCT5030 system instability
(after ~1 million such commands)
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 3.0.0 (build 155, 23.Dec.2005)
COMPATIBLE with client software 3.0.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
NOTE: this version is the required minimum for using the
Backup/Restore functionality in the PC-GUI (c3_local) application.
------------------------------------------------
RCP5000 FEATURES
- Added User Interface for DVD5420
(SDI / ASI distribution amplifier with reclocking / inversion)
- Added User Interface for SVD5082
(SDI Input Switch 2*8 -> 2)
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- Added general stability by fixing several minor weaknesses in the
internal processing.
- fixed bug #649: "strange UI status text if SVD5012 in bypass"
The status text in the user interface (GUI / RCP5000) was confusing
when the unit was running in "bypass mode".
- fixed bug #658: "SDI input missing" event available for just one channel
The Events-Tab in the GUI of the CAD3002 showed only events for one
of the two channels.
- fixed bug #662: "PMX3312/3313 does not show events of AudioADC"
Input-lost Events from Audio-ADC combo are not shown in GUI of
PMX3312 / PMX3313
- fixed bug #665: "RCP5000: low performance with several modules"
Several modules (mainly CADxxxx) take a long time to appear in
the RCP5000 local display. Optimized some UI-algorithms to fix this.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.8.4 (build 154, 02.Dec.2005)
COMPATIBLE with client software 2.8.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fixed bug #672: Device server: intermittent restarts on PAD5212.
Eliminated an incompatibility between the PAD5212 (Audio Delay Line)
and the Device server (RCT5030 / RCP5000) that would lead to an
intermittend restart of the server process. This did lead to a
cyclic re-login of connected clients.
- fixed bug #673: fixed problem in RCP5000 XML-configuration framework
that would lead to restarts of the RCP5000 panel server on certain
constructs.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.8.3 (build 153, 29.Nov.2005)
COMPATIBLE with client software 2.8.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
RCP5000 FEATURES
- added control of Audio Routing parameters for PVD5005 / PVD5010. To
simplify the configuration of the complex crossbars through the RCP
user interface, these controls let the user connect input and output
points of the internal crossbar as single operations. (I.e. the actual
crossbar connection points are not directly accessible from the RCP)
- added boolean configuration parameter RCP_NAVIGATION_STAY_IN_DEVICE
(default value: FALSE). It can be modified through the RCP5000's
Web-Interface.
By setting it to TRUE, the RCP pushbuttons can be used to navigate
within multiple devices of the same type rather than between
devices. E.g., in a system with several PVD5010, different parameter
groups can be assigned to different buttons (by manually navigating
to the parameters and then assigning the buttons). When later
navigating to a different device of the same type, pushing a button
doesn't navigate back to the device the button has been assigned to,
but just jumps to the assigned parameter within the current device.
------------------------------------------------
RCT5030 FEATURES
- added boolean configuration parameter SNMP_TRAP_FORCE_LEVEL_CLEARED
(default: TRUE). It can be modified through the RCT5030's
Web-Interface.
Setting this value to TRUE (the default) will force the 'eventLevel'
(OID 14755.4.3.2) to value '6' ('cleared') if the event is cleared,
i.e. if 'eventOn' (OID 14755.4.3.4) is '0'. Otherwise (FALSE), the
'eventLevel' will reflect the level of the original event
(e.g. 'error'), even if the trap is announcing the event as cleared
(not active anymore).",
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fixed bug #600: Modifying the IP settings of the RCT5030/RCP5000 requires
a restart of the embedded software applications, so that the CORBA-ORB
can adapt to the new network parameters. This is done automatically now.
- fixed bug #566: Setting string-type variables to empty string "" on
the WEB-Interface (page "Server Configuration") did not work
correctly.
- fixed bug #567: Setting configuration variable
RCP_DISPLAY_SEPARATOR_CHAR to the empty string "" would display
strange (undefined) characters in the separation column in the RCP
display.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.8.2 (build 152, 07.Nov.2005)
COMPATIBLE with client software 2.8.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fixed bug #645 (RCT5030): SNMPTraps sent under wrong OID
The SNMP-MIB (LYNX-TRAPS-MIB.txt) declares the OID for Device-Traps
as 1.3.6.1.4.1.14755.3.1. However, traps were sent with the
OID 1.3.6.1.4.14755.3.2.0. This inconsitency has been fixed.
(The MIB remains unchanged, the Traps are now sent correctly)
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.8.1 (build 151, 25.Oct.2005)
COMPATIBLE with client software 2.8.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).

- Added User Interface for CMX5110
(Deembedder with Analog Video and Analog Audio Output)
- Added User Interface for PMX5212/PMX5214 (BS509500)
(new AES Embedders, based on PCB BS509500)
- Added User Interface for DVD5620
(Multi-Format HD/SD SDI Distribution Amplifier)
- Added User Interface for SVD5012
(SDI Change-Over Switch)
------------------------------------------------

COMPATIBLE with client software 2.7.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fixed bug #602: sync source of CAD5121/CAD5122 is identical for both
channels. The sync source of CAD5121/CAD5122 (intern/extern/off) is
always identical for channels 1 and 2. The client display (PC-GUI /
RCP5000) was not guaranteed to be updated accordingly.
- fixed bug #638: Presence of SW-Licenses not recognized correctly
The presence of a software license was not always correctly recognized
in the RCT5030. This affected the SNMPTraps and LYNXRemoteControl
options.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.6.8 (build 146, 02.Aug.2005)
COMPATIBLE with client software 2.6.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
RCP5000 Fixes
- A device that had never been locked before could be displayed
as "locked", while the lock was in fact not active. Workaround
was to lock/unlock the device once.
- fix a couple of display issues with user-defined panel-configurations
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.6.7 (build 145, 01.Aug.2005)
COMPATIBLE with client software 2.6.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
RCP5000 FEATURES
- The current host's IP address is shown in the HOME-display
(top right corner)
- Current Server Connection is saved persistently. At application
startup, the last current server connection is selected again.
------------------------------------------------
RCP5000 Fixes
- fixed bug #613: navigating a large (flat) list of devices could show
incorrect total number of devices. Navigation of such a list could
break in th middle (jump back to head).
- fixed bug #618: Switching the LOCATE function of a device on/off
very quickly (by turning the associated digi-pot very quickly),
could leave the panel non-responsive for a while.
- fixed bug #619: locking a device in one RCP5000 (device-parameter
LOCK) was not properly propagated into other (passive) RCP5000s that
are connected to the same device.
- fixed bug: executing commands from XML user-configuration did not
work correctly under certain conditions.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.6.6 (build 144, 21.July.2005)
COMPATIBLE with client software 2.6.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------

LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.6.4 (build 142, 14.July.2005)
COMPATIBLE with client software 2.6.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- removed unnecessary restart of device server after a current client
is not reachable anymore. The appropriate auto-cleanup (which had
been introduced in RELEASE 2.6.2, see below) was deciding on a very
fundamental cleanup strategy in certain situations that turned out
not to be necessary.

NOTE: Installing this package on a RCT5030 platform with build
label XBOARD_130 or older will ugrade the platform with
extension #1. This is a required extension for all future
software packages for such older platforms.
-> If you are using a platform build XBOARD_130 or older, you
will have to install this package before installing any newer
package.
-> You can find the platform build label on the "System settings"
page on the Web-Interface of your RCT5030.

LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.6.3 (build 140, 24.June.2005)
COMPATIBLE with client software 2.6.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fixed bug #604: incorrect read of data from the PAD5212 could lead
to wrong display values on the client (c3_local / rcp).
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.6.2 (build 138, 21.June.2005)
COMPATIBLE with client software 2.6.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- Fixed general connection issue: after a client had disconnected,
some references to that client would still be held in parts of the
running server. Next time when certain values (that these clients
had been interested in) are changed, these references had to be
removed before the new info could be propagated to the current
clients. This did result in noticable delays in certain situations
(such as initial login of a client, speed of update in case of
multiple clients).
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.6.1 (build 137, 09.June.2005)
COMPATIBLE with client software 2.6.0 and above (c3_local / RCP).
- Supply some additional (optional) status information to the various
SW-clients of the 2.6.0 release (RCP5000, RCPSimulation and c3_local).
- Enabling a SoftwareOption in the RCT5030 from a client
(e.g. c3_local) will automatically be propagated to other
clients. In previous versions of the RCT5030 software, such other
clients had to disconnect/reconnect in order to become aware of the
mofified status of the SoftwareOption.
- General rework of major parts of the software architecture,
resulting in a significant increase in overall stability and
performance.
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fix bug #590: "GUI CAD5320: left/right indication crossed"
The indication of input channel status was crossed between left and
right channel on the GUI of the CAD5320. This server version is
required for the Event- and general Status information to appear
correct in the client UI.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.5.3 (build 132, 17.May.2005)
COMPATIBLE with c3_local 2.5.0 and above.
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fix bug: Prevent from intermittend situations where (after a logout)
the re-login into the server from same client was refused.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.5.2 (build 131, 25.Apr.2005)
COMPATIBLE with c3_local 2.5.0 and above.
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fix bug #577: "update to GUI not always complete"
A changed register value in a device (by local adjustment on board
or by GUI/RCP5000) was sometimes not propagated to all connected
clients (RCP5000, other GUIs). This problem is not existent in
releases prior to 2.5.1
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.5.1 (build 130, 14.Apr.2005)
COMPATIBLE with c3_local 2.5.0 and above.
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fix bug: the status text of the CDX5024 was sometimes not
100% accurate in the GUI. This status text is generated in
the server, hence this fix.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.2.9 (build 127, 21.Mar.2005)
COMPATIBLE with c3_local 2.2.3 and above.
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fix bug #555: "c3-framework shutdown on CAD3110"
Some versions of the CAD3110 shutdown the RCT5030. Fixed by
eliminating a long-hidden bug in the framework.
(NOTE: this bug affects an RCT5030, when connected to a
CAD3110 with version < 124 in a Series3000 Rack)
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.2.8 (build 124, 02.Mar.2005)
COMPATIBLE with c3_local 2.2.3 and above.
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fix bug #551: "RCT5030 takes a long time to login if a previous client died"
When a client (c3_local) logs into the RCT5030 and then does not properly
logout, the next attempt to login to the RCT5030 will take a long time (~ 30 sec.)
- fix bug #552: "RCT5030 WebIF: large logfile.txt leads to timeout on logfile page"
If one of the logfiles is very large (this has been observed with a
~8 MB file), then the complete Logfile-page is not given out by the
Webserver anymore. Instead, this message sent to the HTTP-client:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in
/usr/local/lynx/c3_server/2.2.6/web/code/ClassC3Logfiles.php on line 28
- fix bug #554: "RCT5030 instable under heavy load."
under very heavy load, the RCT5030 seems to restart itself from time
to time. A c3_local GUI is logged out spontaneously, and a re-login
takes long time to complete.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.2.7 (build 122, 24.Feb.2005)
COMPATIBLE with c3_local 2.2.3 and above.
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fix bug #541: "initial (color/text) status of some devices wrong"
The initial status of about 1% of devices in the GUI is not correct (text/color
is OK/green instead of the appropriate value). Pressing F5 in the devices GUI
brings the status up to correct content. This is a statistical error, not
100% reproducible per device.
- fix bug #545: "c3_server does not allow to login anymore"
The c3_server application (inside RCT5030) can get into a state where no more
logins from a client (c3_local) are possible. The only way out of this situation
is to restart the c3_server, either by power-cycling the RCT5030 or by
restarting the app through the web-interface.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.2.6 (build 121, 14.Feb.2005)
COMPATIBLE with c3_local 2.2.3 and above.
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fix bug #541: " initial (color/text) status of some devices wrong"
The initial status of about 1% of devices in the GUI is not correct (text/color
is OK/green instead of the appropriate value). Pressing F5 in the devices GUI
brings the status up to correct content. This is a statistical error, not
100% reproducible per device.
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.2.5 (build 120, 10.Feb.2005)
COMPATIBLE with c3_local 2.2.3 and above.
------------------------------------------------
New Features
This is a feature release, adding support for the generic
status reporting model. This will make it possible, that
for future releases of individual device types, the c3_server
does not necessarily have to be updated anymore.
It is declared as bugfix-release 2.2.5 anyways (should have been 2.3.0),
so that the same c3_local GUI version can be connected as before.
(no need to upgrade c3_local for this release)
A new Web-Interface allows for configuration of all relevant parameters
of the network-interface (gateway, netmask, broadcast addr.)
===============================================================
LYNX Device Controller - RELEASE 2.2.4 (build 119, 10.Feb.2005)
COMPATIBLE with c3_local 2.2.3 and above.
------------------------------------------------
Fixes
- fix bug #538: "RCT5030 version 2.2.3 does not run with RCT5010"
c3_server version 2.2.3 cannot be used with RCT5010.
