Release Notes – KIRK IP Base Station – October 13, 2010
Hardware Platform
Description
KIRK Base Station 12 HW PCS 10 or newer
KIRK IP Base Station 12
1. General
These release notes apply to the released versions of the KIRK IP Base Station firmware.
This version specifically applies to version PCS06A_ of the KIRK IP Base Station. This
release replaces the PCS05C_ release as the latest generally available (GA) release.
1.1 References
KIRK Release Note: KWS6000 Firmware Version PCS06A_ October 13, 2010.
1.2 Important Notes
• The communication protocol between the KWS, the Media resources and the base
stations is not backward compatible starting with PCS06A_ of the KWS and
PCS06A_ of the base station. This means that base stations or media resources
with firmware version older than PCS06A_ will not connect to a KWS running
firmware PCS06A_ or newer. To minimize downtime update base stations, media
resources and KWS6000 to firmware PCS06A_ before rebooting any of them. This
will ensure that no pre-PCS06A_ firmware will try to connect to a PCS06A_ or newer
firmware.
1.3 Feature License and Platform Limitations
None

3.1.1 Added or Changed Features
• Base station side of KWS redundancy implemented.
If a redundancy license is installed on the KWS it is now possible to configure a
redundant setup of KWS. For more information refer to the application note
regarding redundancy.
• Remote syslog improvements.
It is now possible to send DEBUG messages via remote syslog. Furthermore it is
possible to configure which log levels to send via remote syslog. All of the changes
to the remote syslog can be made without restarting the KWS. This means that e.g.
in a hosted environment the provider can increase or decrease the level of logging
from a specific KWS without affecting the users of the KWS. In e.g. a trouble-
