Please see Field Notice FN63534: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/ts/fn/635/fn63534.html
For customers who want to use TC5.0.2 it is mandatory to upgrade codecs which have 4xS1
cameras connected to release TC5.1.4 or TC4.2.4 first so cameras which are currently
unaffected will be automatically upgraded to camera software ID 20011. This will prevent the
camera from failing. After the camera software has been upgraded, the codec may be
downgraded to TC5.0.2. All e arlier software containing camera software lower than 200011
except TC5.0.2 is deferred due to this issue.

If a camera has already failed, software version TC5.1.5 can be used for camera recovery. In
TC5, there is a systemtools camerarescue command which will recover a 4xS1 camera that has
lost the connection with the codec.

Hardware compatibility
Due to replacement of hardware components there are some constraints for running older software on
newly manufactured endpoints. This is due to end-of-life of some components and introduction of new
components that require support in the software. Executing the API xcommand xstat SystemUnit
Hardware Module CompatibilityLevel reveals if there are any constraints on the system. For a
detailed list of compatibility levels and software constraints for the Cisco TelePresence systems
please see the appendices in this document:

NAND flash
The Cisco TelePresence endpoints are using a NAND flash memory for general storage and transfer
of data. The endpoints running TC software are manufactured with a new version of the flash memory.
For simplicity we will call the first flash version 0 and the second flash version 1. There will be more
versions. Endpoints having version 1 of the flash memory must run software TC3.1.5 and later, 4.2.0
and later or 5.0.0 and later. Please check the release note to find if the new version of the flash
memory is supported. If your endpoint does not have the CompatibilityLevel command it has flash
of data. The endpoints running TC software are manufactured with a new version of the flash memory.
