TrueConf Group 1.1.4: provisioning using TrueConf MCU and online upgrading 15

We’re thrilled to present TrueConf Group 1.1.4, the latest update of our video conferencing endpoint for meeting rooms powered by upgraded firmware. The new version brings the capability of upgrading via web interface and the ability to manage video conferencing endpoints using TrueConf MCU, a server for legacy SIP/H.323 endpoints.

If you’d like to upgrade your TrueConf Group firmware, please contact our technical support.

 

TrueConf Group provisioning using TrueConf MCU

In TrueConf MCU 2.1, the update of the video conferencing server for legacy SIP/H.323 endpoints, we introduced the ability to manage TrueConf Group video conferencing endpoints located in the same local network as the video conferencing server. TrueConf MCU administrators can now check the status of connected TrueConf Group endpoints version 1.1.4 and above as well as perform bulk updates to the software and their configuration.

TrueConf Group 1.1.4: provisioning using TrueConf MCU and online upgrading 16

Online upgrading

Administrators of TrueConf Group can now install firmware updates using the web interface. You just need to go to the Maintenance section, then Software, select Online upgrade, and click Upgrade.

TrueConf Group 1.1.4: provisioning using TrueConf MCU and online upgrading 17

Improved recovery mechanism for lost packets

In TrueConf Group 1.0.61, we supported TrueConf FEC lost packet recovery mechanism. This allows compensation for up to 10% of lost network packets among multiple TrueConf Group endpoints connected via SIP protocol. Now, in TrueConf Group 1.1.4, lost packet recovery mechanism is also compatible with TrueConf Server 5.4+, as well as TrueConf MCU 2.1+.

Other useful enhancements

  • We’ve added the ability to hide the main menu on the screen connected to the endpoint in the Settings — HDMI section of the web interface
  • We’ve fixed an issue which in some cases caused difficulties with disabling the NTP server and setting the time back
  • The overall performance and stability of TrueConf Group firmware has been improved.
