1. General

These release notes apply to released firmware versions for the KIRK Wireless Server 6000 (Hereinafter referred to as KWS6000). This version specifically applies to version PCS06A_ of the KWS6000 Firmware. This release replaces the PCS05D_release as the latest generally available (GA) release.

1.1 Important Notes

Some features require specific versions of the firmware loaded into the base stations or media resources.
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.

1.2 Feature License and Platform Limitations

The following table summarizes features that require a particular hardware platform and / or a license key for activation.
