Release Notes
ViewStation EX, ViewStation FX, and VS4000, v. 6.0.4

Easy System Configuration and Management

‰

The Address Book Utility is available through the web interface. This utility
allows the system administrator to

ƒ back up systems’ address books in a central location,
ƒ edit address books, and
ƒ distribute the same address book to several systems.

‰

System administrators can make chair control functionality inaccessible to users
remotely using the PMAC application.

‰

IP systems can be configured to get the time from a time server. This allows the
system to record call times accurately in the CDR if the time server is available.

‰

The alternate gatekeeper feature allows the ViewStation EX, ViewStation FX, or
VS4000 system to dynamically update its configured gatekeeper IP address when
the gatekeeper changes IP address (for example, when a system administrator
redirects network traffic to a different gatekeeper during maintenance and
service).

‰

System administrators can set QoS values (IP precedence or DiffServ) separately
for video, audio, and far-site camera control.

‰

Third-party applications for using and managing the systems require the same
passwords as the ViewStation web interface.

Easy Software Updates and Upgrades

The ViewStation EX, ViewStation FX, and VS4000 systems include one-year
hardware warranty (30-day return upon receipt at factory) and 90-day software
warranty. For the first year, software updates (bug fixes and maintenance releases)
and software upgrades (feature releases) are also included.
