Introduction software version TC4.2.4
This release note describes the features and capabilities included in the Cisco TelePresence System
C/MX/EX-Series codec software version TC4.2.4 released on 9
th
of October 2012.
Note: Please read the known limitations section if you use TMS to upgrade your system from any
release prior to TC4.0.0
Hardware compatibility
Due to replacement of hardware components there are some constraints 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 will reveal 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:
- HW dependencies – Compatibility Levels Cisco TelePresence Systems
- HW dependencies – Compatibility Levels Cisco TelePresence Touch 8
NAND Flash
The Cisco TelePresence endpoints are using a NAND flash memory for general storage and transfer
of data. The endpoints running TC software will be 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
probably 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 will have flash version 0 installed which means no software constraints.
Internal Camera
For units with internal camera (EX60/EX90 and MX200/MX300) the camera software is embedded into
the application software. Units shipped with the E4 sensor cannot be downgraded or upgraded to any
software version lower than TC4.2.4 or TC5.1.1 unless support is specifically documented in the
release notes for the software you are downgrading to.
MX300 is not supported in TC4.
To check which camera sensor the EX-series or MX-series product has, execute the API command
xstatus camera HardwareID
This example shows an EX60 with the E3 sensor, which means that it can be downgraded to versions
xstatus camera HardwareID
This example shows an EX60 with the E3 sensor, which means that it can be downgraded to versions
earlier than TC4.2.4 or TC 5.1.1:
Example:
Example:
xstatus camera HardwareID
*s Camera 1 HardwareID: "e3:0xd30a"
** end
If a system shipped with the E4 sensor is attempted to downgrade to an unsupported software
*s Camera 1 HardwareID: "e3:0xd30a"
** end
If a system shipped with the E4 sensor is attempted to downgrade to an unsupported software
version, the software downgrade will fail and the unit will reboot, keeping its existing software version.
From TC5.1.3 there is a lock which prevents the system from downgrading to an unsupported version.
