2. Important Notes

Configuration Manager 7 has excluded support for Bosch Video Client and BVIP Lite Suite. Installing it over an existing installation of a previ ous version will encrypt the database with strong encryption and thus render it unusable for the older software.
Configuration Manager 7.0 and higher are pure 64 bit applications and require a 64 bit Windows operating system.

5. Restrictions; Known Issues

On a MIC or AUTODOME with FW < 7.70 and VCA configured, using CM 7.20 will show all configured lines, fields and routes at a wrong posit i on. Saving then will break the VCA configuration. Use CM 7.11 or 7.21 or higher instead.
FLEXIDOME IP starlight 5000i (IR) cameras incorrectly show up as Device Type FLEXIDOME
IP 4000i (IR)
FTP address must be IP address only, URL is not supported.
After changing the IP address of a device the settings page might not be updated
automatically. Manual refresh might be required.
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.
Saving empty password may cause I/O error message without effect for the setting.
Database path must be re-written if previous installation did not use default path.
'Device info' dialog for Divar 700 only shows the general information tab and information that
can be retrieved through the VideoSDK interfaces.
No IPv6 & DNS check for VRM databases.
For cameras with Intelligent Tracking function, “Click on object” is not supported by
Configuration Manager.
If no IPv6 network is available, the 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
192.168.128.101 for discovery. Once set to a valid IP range, the Configuration Manager PC can be used with its standard IP address.
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 1 0, all tabs and buttons regarding motion detection are deactivated, thus motion detecti on cannot be configured.
FTP accounts’ passwords are not stored during Backup & Restore settings.
User interface for the DIVAR AN 3000/5000 FW upgrade feature is only available in English.
If the DIVAR AN 3000/5000 FW upgrade transfer is interrupted by a power or network failure
the remote system might get in a state that it can’t be upgraded again through Configuration Manager. In this case, the upgrade must be done manually through the WEB UI or locally on the device.
A FW upload of a DIVAR AN 3000 or DIVAR AN 5000 can only be cancelled during the transfer phase. Once the file has been transferred t o the device and the upgrade process has been started this cannot be cancelled anymore.
For dual recording, Configuration Manager does not allow to assign the identical LUN to both recording entries.

VCA tabs, e.g. Motion Detection may not be refreshed after firmware upgrade or downgrade. Manual refresh might be necessary.
Device network settings configuration for VJD-7000 and VJD-8000 is not functional i n the context menu of the device tree (right-click). The network configuration page shall be used instead.
VRM-based ANR mode is no more supported.
Only one LUN lock can be overwritten per device at a time. Acquiring of lock is done only
when storage target is needed for recording.
Upload of an invalid certificate will cause I/O errors displayed on page.
With cameras running firmware 6.4x and ‘Silent VCA’ mode, a wrong VCA calibration tab may
be displayed on ‘event triggered’ or ‘schedule d’ modes. A VCA profile must be selected first.
Underscore character (“_”) and blank space are not allowed in common name in certificates.
Once an authenticated is established, the user can st ill communicate with a device although
the smart token might have been removed. To avoi d unauthorised access, Configuration Manger should not be left accessible when the smart t oken with the client certificate is removed.
With CPP7.3 AUTODOME and MIC cameras, an I /O error might be displayed on the ‘Logs’ tab. The device’s web page can be used instead to access t he logs and configure the syslog functionality.
Due to security concerns, basic authentication is no more supported. As a result, firmware cannot be uploaded to a password-protected VJD-7000 running FW 54.8.x or older. An older version of Configuration Manager can be used instead, or the password removed temporarily.
With certificate-based authentication, each Windows user should only use one S m art Card or user token for the same CA.
If a storage array is reconfigured or cleared manually (e.g. by using console or SanTricity instead of Bosch tools), all LUNs of all targets of the storage array must be deleted from the VRM and then re-added again to update all necessa ry i nformation.
Custom table views do not support adding of dynamic content like e.g. user management or certificates.
Configuration upload and download is not suppo rt ed for cameras of the Remote Portal.
Repository download that includes offline devices or devices not supporting a configuration file
download will show an error which can be ignored. All parameters handled by Configuration Manager will be stored in repository.
In rare cases only a partial VRM device tree is shown. Restart the Configuration Manager for a full display.
Privacy masks and other orientation-related parameters must be checked and eventually re- assigned after rotating a camera.
Uploading or exchanging certificates requi res the device to be rebooted if running firmware below version 7.x.

Stamping logo may sometimes lose transparency i f converted by Configuration Manager. In this case, prepare logo with correct size and colors wit h other tools to avoid conversion.
Using “export from memory” with pre-alarm reco rding exceeding the available memory will cause continuous recording on the account storage. Checking the memory requirement of the pre-alarm ring is advised to avoid unexpected memory consumption.
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:
Due to the change to .NET 4.7.1 DiBos devices cannot be found by net work scan if .NET 3.5 is not installed. If required install .NET 3.5 in addition to the Configurat i on Manager installation package.
