V5.03.18 – New Panel Software for i-on Compact

The new software has been released to offer an improvement to the features and to make the panels easier to use and to configure. The main changes are:

• Added a feature to automatically check on the Eaton SecureConnect Cloud for updates, option for engineers to keep you up to date.
• Various improvements have been made around the way the panel connects to the LAN both via Ethernet cable and the Wi-Fi module. 
  • The panel will now auto recover the cloud connection after the router has been powered down.
  • A problem where the panel would occasionally lock up the IP connection and lose connection with the cloud has been fixed.
• Improved the behavior when running a report from the Web Browser via the cloud or locally, the report would sometimes fail to complete.
• Improved the behavior when part setting from the app and the system would fail to set.
•  Added RESET command to M2M interface – If a partition is in the “needs reset” state having been unset after an alarm activation, the RESET command will reset it. It also returns a “needs reset” error message if the M2M send a set command to a partition in this state.
• Improved the recognition of GSM modules on first power up.
• Added an option to have Push Fail Notifications set to silent, audible or disabled. This alert occurs if a message from the panel fails to get through to the Eaton Secureconnect cloud. This could happen if the customers internet is not available at the time the panel attempts to send a message.
• Various other performance improvements.
