1 Release Letter Product: Version: Configuration Manager This letter contains latest information about the above mentioned software. 1. General Configuration Manager is a generic configuration tool for all Bosch IP Network Video Products, both software modules and hardware devices. It is used for configuration and licensing of the various products where it may be included on the product CD. Configuration Manager is a feature release based on version to add support for CPP4 firmware 5.93, CPP-ENC firmware 5.93 and new devices. It is the configuration tool for Bosch Video Client (BVC) and for Video Recording Manager (VRM). It includes VSDK 5.81 and latest plug-ins for IVA configuration. This version supports 11 languages. Make sure to always use the latest released version. Changes to last version marked blue. 1

2 2. New Features ONVIF Profile S client conformance could be achieved and will be posted on the ONVIF web site accordingly. Configuration Manager database can be imported via.csv file. This e.g. allows easier migration from existing installations including usernames and passwords, as well as tree structuring and additional attributes. 3. Changes Improved usability for imaging configuration. Installation now bases on Microsoft.NET 4.0 instead of.net3.5. 2

3 4. Restrictions; Known Issues VGA settings for VIP XD are not available in this Configuration Manager version. Must be set up via the product s web site. Encryption Site License (option) must be installed to make AES encryption usable. When using the Wizard to re-configure this will not work for password-protected devices. FTP address must be IP address only, URL is not supported. When the integrated iqn-mapper shall be used in a non-vrm environment, the iscsi configuration passwords must be set equal at all iscsi targets. Alarm input rules of AUTODOMEs running firmware version 4.10 cannot be configured correctly in Configuration Manager. The Web interface shall be used instead. After changing the IP address of a device the settings page might not be updated automatically. Manual refresh might be required. The Wizard may run into a timeout situation when configuring a camera with motion recording. A Retry button appears which needs to be pressed then. When time zone had been changed in Advanced Mode, synchronization to PC in Basic Mode does not update time zone. The Save button is not activated in Basic Mode when DHCP settings are changed. In Date/Time settings page, the date and time values shown are from PC instead of from device. Upload of a configuration file might be incomplete if it includes recording settings. It is recommended to check the settings manually. Special characters like &<:>@ are not allowed for names and passwords. If entered into devices using the Web GUI the Configuration Manager will not be able to access the devices. BVC system setup is limited to 200 inputs (cameras, relays, digital I/O). Devices which are assigned to a recorder (e.g. VRM) are not marked in the Wizard with a green checkbox if another recorder is selected. Multiple assignments may happen and special attention is needed. Saving empty password may cause I/O error message without effect for the setting. User names and passwords for BVC user management are limited to 31 characters. Database path must be re-written if previous installation did not use default path. VRM parameters can only partially be dragged into table view. On Windows 7 with UAC used, license application can only be performed when Configuration Manager is run in administrator mode. The following device context menu items are not available or not enabled for a Divar 700: File Upload, Settings, Device Network Settings, Show in Web browser, Show Settings in Web Browser, Blink LED, Reset. 3

4 'Device info' dialog for Divar 700 only shows the general information tab and information that can be retrieved through the VideoSDK interfaces. Configuration Manager Wizard does not support Divar devices. Divar devices can neither be added to the system nor configured via Configuration Manager Wizard. No IP V6 & DNS check for VRM databases. DIBOS/BRS configuration (neither configuration pages nor via external configuration tools) is not supported. For cameras with AutoTracker function, Click on object is not supported by Configuration Manager. Initial IP address configuration of DLA E-Series must be done by setting the PC s IP address in the range of the storage s default IP address for discovery. Once set to a valid IP range, the Configuration Manager PC can be used with its standard IP address. The handling of recovery of old data on a LUN when being assigned to a VRM system affects the checkbox "restore database" in the LUN assignment dialog to have no function any more. Configuration Manager may run into an access violation when an ONVIF camera with pan and tilt but no zoom function is added to Video Streaming Gateway, e.g. like Axis M3007. For legacy devices, e.g. VideoJet 8008 or VideoJet 10, all tabs and buttons regarding motion detection are deactivated, thus motion detection cannot be configured. FTP accounts passwords are not stored during Backup & Restore settings. Note: If multiple Configuration Managers are used in the network, maintaining the same or an overlapping set of devices simultaneously, unpredictable effects might occur when writing to the devices. Note: For stand-alone installation of Configuration Manager 5.0 or higher,.net 4.0 must be installed. Note: Due to the change to.net 4.0 DiBos devices cannot be found by network scan if.net 3.5 is not installed. If required install.net 3.5 in addition to the Configuration Manager installation package. 4

7 Features with Device type and platform indication added to Identification section. Features with Configuration Manager 5.0 is internally split up into a service which performs the communication to devices and which provides an API to a user interface, and the user interface itself. This is not visible to a user itself but prepares a path to future applications. New user experience by new style and layout New design follows the recent Bosch Software User Interface style guide and incorporates usability improvements that will also be presented in future firmware and software releases. Usability improvements, achieved by a variety of modifications and new features: o Basic and Advanced Mode have been recombined due to the easier handling and structure. o Simplified navigation via Blue Bar tabs and icons. o Icons have been reworked to provide a clearer indication of device type and status. o Responsive filter function for device trees. o Enhanced multi-select function down to camera level even for multi-channel devices. o Colors in recording scheduler are aligned with VRM 3.10 and BVMS color scheme. o Re-arranged and streamlined configuration pages for cameras and encoders to make configuration faster and simpler.

8 Changes with The default communication protocol which is selected when a device is added to the system has been changed to HTTP. This increases the chance to reach a device regardless of where it is located, so also via remote or Internet links. But this may also has an impact on functionality requiring UDP or multicast communication. If so, you may choose non-http communication on adding to system to ensure the desired communication flow. Affected areas may be: o Video connections using TCP conflict with Multicast mechanism. o Replay from VRM only may cause a performance loss. o Some functions may not be available, e.g. display of protected recordings from VRM in the timeline of Video Client.
