Product: CB24
Last Version: CB24V104(3642).HEX
Date: May 12, 2005



Version Date Comments
======= ====== ==========================================================================================================
0.86 1-1-04
Initial release

0.87 5-1-04
X when T1 is down in channel slots
No ring during T1 down, or Blue alarm on all channels
Added switch sequence to front panel so that you do not need to take off the cover for software upgrading.

0.88 6-1-04
Added compatibility for new version of SLIC

0.89 9-19-04
1) Changed ring back tone to be pure sine. Only need if you are need ring back to caller.

2) Fix for the SLIC to handle CID properly for *some* TELCO CID modes. Please note that this version may cause the unit to run a slight bit hotter than previous versions, only when the channels are ringing.

3) added special trap for A=1,B=1 in LOOP mode only

4) increased LOOP B bit ring "watch" time to 7 second expiration from 5 seconds

0.90 12-10-04
1) T1 configuration menu did not allow for different signaling protocols BETA!

2) Signaling protocol identifier in main screen only showed first slot selection

*** PLEASE NOTE THAT 0.90 IS IN BETA AND IS NOT OFFICIALLY RELEASED. Please report any issues!

NEW MODULAR CODE UPDATES - Please note that this code will also work on ALL Rhino CB24 models!

0.91 12-10-04
First modular system release - FXS and/or FXO code release

Note: this will work on any older Rhino channelbank of the CB24 model series (post Sept-2003)

0.92 12-30-04
Update to modular system release - FXS and/or FXO code release

1) handled "no T1 signal" better

2) added an AutoFXO mode (transparent to user) to keep signaling bits correct

3) after AutoT1 we now leave signaling bits in the default IDLE mode

4) added a toggling third line to show both FXS or FXO, and signaling mode for each channel

5) allowed "DIGITAL" to be selected for slots with no boards installed (bug!)

Note: this will work on any older Rhino channelbank of the CB24 model series (post Sept-2003)

0.93 not a public release

0.94 01-17-05
AB bit tracking to CD was not correct, CD now tracks AB in all modes.

FXO CID and ADSI bug fixed.

0.95 01-18-05
Added Ground start modes to the FXS analog ports. Loop, Ground-Tip and Ground-Ring are all supported, in a per channel basis. FXO settings are not affected.

0.96 01-20-06
Added more of a span for FXO Tx and Rx gain, was -5db to +5db, now is -9db to +9db. FXS gain settings are not affected.

0.97 01-21-05
1) Better sensing of the POTs line connect and disconnect (this is the main reason for the update! There were reports of FXO ports not releasing)

2) Volume mute of the analog channel during non-FXO line activity

3) FXS ringing is stopped immediately when the T1 is sensed as being DOWN, due to Asterisk server rebooting takes down the T1

4) FXO Tx and Rx gain settings (analog volume) setting was not correct to the display value (also bad!)

0.98 01-21-05
1) Fixed FXS ground start mode, did not wait long enough after hangup to reset to the ground start mode

2) Added FXO Tx gain to +1db as AutoT1 default, users reported that FXO sounded a bit soft, gave it a kick

0.99 02-04-05
1) Fixed problem with CID on FXO

2) Distinctive ring now works on FXO

3) FXS changes made to support CID and distinctive ring as well, however this made it better than before

NOTE: starting with version 99, we will add a (xxxx) to the .hex filename, where "xxxx" defines the number of lines that will be downloaded to the Rhino, and will be displayed as each line is accepted by the Rhino during download

1.00 03-16-05
1) fixed LOOP FXO signaling to allow for KEWL type disconnect (Asterisk fxs_ks works with Rhino FXO LOOP)

2) removed slight ticking sound on FXS channels when they are first picked up

1.01 03-23-05
1) changed FXO mode to FULL, reports of low volume on FXO-FXO calls due to -3.6db down settings into 600 ohms

1.02 04-12-05
1) trap potential FXO hangups on loud audio excursions

2) reverse battery polarity does not cause FXO line hangups now

3) REVP FXO signaling mode, identical to WINK but senses FXO analog polarity and takes AB high when that occurs

4) REVP FXS signaling mode, identical to WINK but reverses battery when T1 AB go high

5) fixed Channel menu to provide ALL_FXO as second option rather than last option

1.03 04-25-05
1) added more control to the FXO channel for gain settings

2) added FXO digital filter seed control, 15 values

3) expanded FXO Tx and Rx gain to allow -15db to +12db

4) unplugged FXO channels will now show "L" in the Tx line of the LCD display

5) REVP signaling protocol for FXO and FXS both work in tandem, allow for billing supervision on both ends

1.04 05-12-05
1) fixed message waiting lamp on/off capability while on hook

2) fine tuned the digital filters for better echo cancellation for Asterisk users
