Introduction 1 Introduction These release notes provide information on the latest MM8000 MP2.31 software delivery. In this release, MM8000 has been further enhanced to provide a higher level of functionality, performance, and reliability. This document covers the following topics: Differences between MP2.31 and the previous market package.......................... p. 4 Information about how to migrate to MP2.31 from the previous release ............ p.
What’s new in MP2.31 2 What’s new in MP2.31 This section details the differences between the new MM8000 MP2.31 and the previous MP2.30. 2.1 New networks & subsystems supported This section lists the entire set of network and subsystem devices that can be connected to MM8000 MP2.31. 2.1.1 Networks & connectivity supported The following network configuration types are supported: – – – Cerloop – same as 2.30. CDI-Net – same as 2.30. NK8000 (CDI-WAN) – New features in MP2.31 see p.5.
What’s new in MP2.31 2.2 Changes to functionality and features This section presents the new features in MP2.31 that can have the most beneficial impact on the market. Further detailed improvements and resolved issues are given in the form of a technical report in chapter 4 at p.18. 2.2.1 General improvements Product reliability The long-term reliability of MM8000 has been improved addressing various defects related to memory management.
What’s new in MP2.31 2.2.4 Subsystems Philips/Burle CCTV MM8000 MP2.31 can now support the LTC8000 family of switchers via NK8000 MP2.11 networks. Note that the MM8000 connectivity solution to Philips/Burle applies only to NK822x MP2.11 and it is technically not compatible with older Burle solutions for LMS over CDI-NET network. In other words: Old CDI-NET options for Philips/Burle are compatible with LMSmodular only. New NK8000 options for Philips/Burle are compatible with MM8000 and MK8000 only.
What’s new in MP2.31 2.2.5 History Browser History report printouts Printing out the reports resulting from archive queries is now possible. See 006798 MM8000 MP2.31 Operation Manual. Preferred column setting in the report view A preferred column-width setting can now be quickly selected for best data visibility of the report lists.

Known issues in MP2.31 5 Known issues in MP2.31 This is a list of known limitations, problems and bugs in MP2.31. For more troubleshooting information, see the document 008080 Maintenance & Troubleshooting guide and the intranet support guide, see 7.1 at p.29. 5.1 Installation Do not forget MSDE SQL Server 2000 data engine (MSDE) + SP3 must be installed before initiating the MM8000 installation. Note: MM8000 MP2.31 requires MSDE V8 (also labelled MSDE 2000).
Known issues in MP2.31 That clears the database (still empty anyway) and can solve the installation problem. Installing localised text files After the MM8000 installation, the installation of a national language kit requires a separate procedure (see 007875 “MM8000 Localisation Guide”). The command to launch is the following: MM8000 MP 2.31 - Localized Files Installation.bat Please be aware of the following: The command batch has been renamed from the previous “MM8000 MP 2.3 - Localization Procedure.bat”.
Known issues in MP2.31 FDMNG server troubles If any of the MM8000 folders are selected /open in the Windows Explorer during download, it can cause problems related to the file distributor process ‘FDMNG’. If this occurs, FDMNG server task may not start up properly (red icon in the system supervisor browser), or the map pages may not display properly after logging in to the MM8000. Should this happen, you need to run the “Empty_DB.bat” procedure and then download again. See 006799 MM8000 MP2.31 ICC manual.
Known issues in MP2.31 Changing to a completely new configurations When a new project is downloaded and it includes a complete new network configuration in comparison with the earlier download, the use of the Empty_DB.bat command is recommended. See 006799 MM8000 ICC manual. “Move” function in AlgoRex tool The AlgoWork “move” function, which allows CC11 objects to be moved in the tree structure, is not fully supported in MM8000 tools (ref. #5521).
Known issues in MP2.31 - Depending on the specific configuration and on the PC hardware characteristics, MM8000 software may use up the memory resources in Windows and cause the “Low virtual memory” error message to display. Should that occur, you could adjust the virtual memory size (it actually refers to the size of the paging file where the operating system swaps on disk the active memory areas).
