Introduction 1 Introduction The new MM8000 software release MP3.20 is available. These release notes provide the characteristics of the new software, including new features, bug corrections and known issues. We recommend that users carefully read this document before installing and using the software. 1.1 What’s new in MP3.20 This section presents the enhancements provided in the new MM8000 software MP3.20 compared with latest MP3.15-02. 1.1.
Introduction Multiple clients and remote client Up to two Composer MP3.20 client stations can be used simultaneously for configuration purposes on the same project, using the Composer client software and connecting (even from a remotely networked PC) to the Composer server. As for a single client, Composer requires a license + key or a Service key installed on the server machine. Note that the service key, when installed on the client PC, cannot enable the Composer client function.

Please contact support for compatibility with the announced Service Release 4 (CISxx8.86). Configuring the communication port in FC330A In FC330A, in order to enable the communication protocol on the serial port, you need to configure the unit at control panel level. Follow this procedure: 1. Press “Start” and login for operating access (password required).
Introduction 1.1.9 NK8000 and BACnet/IP A new NK822x firmware has also been released in MP3.20. The new firmware includes defect corrections and optimisations. Upgrading the NK8222 and NK8223 units is recommended. Warning: as in previous releases, the NK822x units now handle the protocol interpretation for the subsystems supporting interactions.

Installation and configuration procedures 2 Installation and configuration procedures 2.1 MP3.20 Software installation MP3.20 is distributed with a complete setup procedure. For detailed information about the installation procedure, refer to the MM8000 ICC manual (006799_i_en). 2.1.1 New systems: installing MP3.20 Assuming a stand-alone MM8000 station, the MP3.20 installation procedure includes the following steps: 1. Check system requirements.
Installation and configuration procedures Notes: Software License: all previous Composer and MM8000 licenses must be updated to MP3.20. Localisation: by default, the DMS8000 software is installed in English. The installation procedure can install texts in another language as long as the required language file (LANG_xxx.ZIP) is included in the setup folder along with the other files (not provided by default). Otherwise, the language may be modified later by means of the ‘Language Installation’ utility.
Migrating from older releases 3 Migrating from older releases 3.1 Software License All previous Composer and MM8000 licenses must be updated to MP3.20. 3.2 Migrating from MP2.xx The configuration database migration from MP2 releases – namely MP2.10, MP2.20, MP2.21, and MP2.30 - is possible using MM8000 MP2.31 and MP3.15 as intermediate conversion steps; see documents MM8000 MP2.31 Release Notes (008091_a_en) and MM8000 MP3.15 Release Notes (008901_a_en). 3.3 Migrating from MP3.
Migrating from older releases It is essential to execute a new SiPass database alignment before downloading a project that includes a SiPass access control system. You can either connect to the SiPass application and then align the database (on-line mode) or import the XML database created with MP3.20 export tool. The alignment is also necessary (typically in off-line mode) in case the SiPass unit is simulated for test/demo purposes. Please refer to the Access Control Connectivity Guide (009424_b_en). 13.
Known issues in MP3.20 4 Known issues in MP3.20 This is a list of known limitations, problems, bugs and recommended practises regarding MP3.20 at the time this software was released. Compared with previous MP3.15 Release Notes, new and updated points are marked by a side label for easier identification. 4.1 Installation Updated in 3.20 MSDE or SQL server MM8000 requires SQL server or MSDE (MS SQL server Desktop Engine) 2000.
Known issues in MP3.20 Clear History DB Rare cases of difficulties in the history functions have been reported after installation. In such cases, the FS-DMS support may recommend the use of the program: \Utilities\Bat\History Database Utilities.exe This can clear (and optionally also resize) the database and solve the problem. Video applications Video applications require specific software (viewers and other utilities) to be installed before MM8000.
Known issues in MP3.20 4.2 Configuration Download failures Repetitive download attempts may cause failures. In this case, close Composer after each download and then reopen it. Also try the ‘Empty_DB’ procedure (see 006799 MM8000 ICC manual Installed applications and Utilities). New in 3.20 Opening MM8000 MP3.15 projects in MP3.20 When opening a large (e.g.: 13,000 or more Composer nodes) MP3.15 project in Composer MP3.20 for the first time, please allow up to 50 minutes. New in 3.
Known issues in MP3.20 1561, 1564, 1565 - External horn; 1562 attribute = RTFIRE – “Alarm” remote transmission channel; 1562 attribute = RTFAULT – “Fault” remote transmission channel; 1562 attribute = RTOTHER – “Other” remote transmission channel. New in 3.20 CC11 EP7F Z2.1 The new version Z2.1 of CC11 AlgoRex is not supported by MM8000 MP3.20. The new data and command messages supported by this new CC11 version will be handled in next MM8000 releases.
Known issues in MP3.20 4.3 Functionality FEP stations require server when starting up Distributed configurations including FEP stations: When you start up a FEP station, you must ensure that the MM8000 server is already up and running. Low virtual memory events 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.
Known issues in MP3.20 Event dispatching In Windows XP, the dispatching steps of operating procedures do not work properly if the Windows Address Book or Outlook Express is open while MM8000 operates. Ensure that these applications are closed. Removing history full events In case the SQL history archive is automatically backed up, the MM8000 events related to archive full condition are no longer necessary to notify the operator.
Known issues in MP3.20 Remote SiPass server (Windows XP only) If the SiPass server is installed on a remote PC, the “Log On” properties must be changed on the remote PC so that the SiPass server can communicate with MM8000. Perform the following steps: 1. Log on to the PC with the SiPass server. 2. Right-click on ‘My Computer’ and select ‘System Tools → Local User and Groups → Users’. 3.
Known issues in MP3.20 USB Printers If a USB printer reports a fault condition in MM8000, try to remove the Bidirectional Control option in the printer properties page. Please follow this procedure: 1. Open the USB printer properties window (see picture below). 2. Select the "Ports" tab. 3. Uncheck the option "Enable bidirectional support". 4. Cancel all pending jobs in the spooler (most of them will be named “Check”).
Known issues in MP3.20 SISTORE AX Note that SISTORE AX can support only one client at the time. When one MM8000 station is connected to the video unit to show video images, no other station can connect at the same time. SISTORE MX a. The SISTORE MX 2.55 must be used with the remote player of SISTORE MX 2.57. b. The archive player shows the control buttons (e.g. Play, Stop, Rewind, etc.) on the very right of the screen and therefore they are not visible most of the time.
