Changes: 

  • The following problems have been fixed:

    • Importing a valid EnOcean or LoRaWAN Device Interface (XIF) definition sometimes failed in SmartServer 4.3. (AP-13616)

    • In some cases, the LON driver did not work in SmartServer 4.3. (AP-13573, AP-13627, AP-13653)

Warnings: 

  • EnOcean has completed limited quality assurance (QA) testing of this update. Only use this update if you need any of the fixes addressed by this release.

  • When you access trend reports with many logged datapoint values, CMS web page updates may be slow. Close any trend reports to restore normal performance. (AP-11847)

  • The SmartServer includes a 32 GB SD card.  You can run out of free space on the SD card if you create many backups or retain too much data in the data log, and performance will degrade if the storage for logged data exceeds 100 MB and will degrade significantly if the storage for logged data exceeds 400 MB. The SmartServer requires a minimum of 8 GB free space on the SD card for normal operation. For optimal performance, always keep 8 GB of free space on the SD card and keep logged data below 100 MB.    The Datapoint Properties widget displays an estimate of how much SD card space will be required for logged data based on your data log configuration.  You can use this value to manage the space required for data logs and keep the size below 100 MB for best performance.  If required, you can free up space on the SD card by reducing the frequency and retention period for logged data and by deleting backups.  To delete backups from the SD card, see Backing Up, Restoring, and Cloning the SmartServer.

  • The SmartServer 4.3 software will not run on SmartServer hardware with a dual core processor.  You can determine which processor you have by reading the label on the bottom of the SmartServer. The serial number printed under the product name includes one letter. If the letter is F or later, you have a quad core processor. If the letter is A through E, you have a dual core processor that is not compatible with this release. 

  • You can downgrade a SmartServer running SmartServer 4.3 to an earlier release if the earlier release is compatible with your SmartServer hardware. However, due to security improvements in SmartServer 4.3, to downgrade SmartServer 4.3 to SmartServer 3.6 or earlier you must run the prep_for_3.x.sh script before or after you re-image your SmartServer. See step 3 here for more information. (AP-11235)

  • In some cases, the CMS displays stale data after you make a change.  If a datapoint value, context, preset, or other value is not displayed as you expect, refresh your browser window (Ctrl-F5 in many browsers).  If you are using the CMS Datapoints widget, you can click the Refresh button in the upper right corner of the widget. (LUM-7145)

  • You cannot set the latitude and longitude for a SmartServer by typing new values in the Devices widget. To change the latitude and longitude for a SmartServer, you can either drag the SmartServer icon to a new location on the map in the Devices widget, or you can enter new values in the Planning widget. (AP-11085)

  • In some cases, connections with many destinations may fail to update all destinations. If you have any connections with many destinations, test them to verify all destinations are updated as expected. If you observe any failed updates, break up the connection into multiple connections with fewer destinations per connection. (AP-9259)

  • In some cases, the CMS Sequencing widget may get stuck with an Adding Flows to Workspace message. Restart the SmartServer to eliminate the message. (AP-11297)

  • In some cases, when you create a connection between two LON datapoints, the devices involved in the connection may be deprovisioned.  You can recover by reprovisioning the devices after they become deprovisioned. (AP-8360)

Changes: 

  • Use the SmartServer with large EnOcean networks with the new EnOcean Remote driver for the SmartServer. The EnOcean Remote driver for the SmartServer uses EnOcean’s IoT Connector (IoTC) to integrate with EnOcean devices communicating with EnOcean radios in Aruba and Cisco access points. This solution leverages the large building scalability offered by Aruba and Cisco access points and enables you to integrate the SmartServer with all the EnOcean devices that can be accessed by the access points in a building. (AP-12043)

  • Get support for more types of EnOcean devices with added support for EnOcean EDRPU, EMCS, ETHS, and STM550 devices. (AP-12108)

  • Get information on non-BACnet devices that are down when you access them from a BACnet workstation through the SmartServer BACnet Server. (AP-10558)

  • Use the SmartServer Pi software introduced in the 4.2 release with LON devices. Using SmartServer Pi software on your own Pi-compatible hardware you can now integrate with LON devices in addition to BACnet/IP, Modbus TCP, and Modbus RTU devices. (AP-12823)

  • The following problems have been fixed:

    • Viewing large data logs in the CMS Datapoints widget sometimes failed. (AP-12807)

    • Renewal of signed security certificates sometimes failed. (AP-12413)

    • In some cases, the SmartServer event scheduler would quit working after a change into or out of daylight savings time. (AP-12592)

    • The SmartServer sometimes deleted connections between SmartServer internal applications and LON edge devices on startup or restart. (AP-12511 and AP-12332)

    • LON datapoints using user-defined datapoint types could not be selected when creating a schedule event in the Calendar widget. (AP-12287)

    • In some cases, the SmartServer did not set the BACnet Current Command Priority property for a BACnet object after updating the Present Value and Priority for the object. (AP-12418)

    • IAP updates to a BACnet datapoint without a specified priority used priority 16. They now use normal priority which in IAP is encoded as priority 17. (AP-12475)

    • The SmartServer BACnet Router did not forward all qualifying BACnet messages. (AP-12417)

    • The SmartServer BACnet Router sent valid reject messages to the incorrect destination. (AP-12416)

    • When you enable BACnet on a SmartServer Pi, you will receive a new notification to open the required IP ports on your Pi. (AP-12963)

    • BACnet routing has been enhanced to prevent looping errors in unusual configurations. (AP-12795)

    • Performance and reliability of BACnet trend logs and schedules have been improved. (AP-11257 and AP-11258)

    • Logging from Node-RED has been reduced to prevent informational events from filling the flash drive on the SmartServer. (AP-12964)

    • In some cases, the SmartServer displayed an error message when you enabled Modbus RTU for one of the RS-485 ports. (AP-12081)

  • Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) is disabled by default. If your system security policy requires running AIDE, then you can enable this process to run once a day using the SmartServer System Configuration page. Enabling AIDE to run a daily cron job places a heavy demand on the CPU and filesystem that can impact system performance. See Configuring Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE). This feature is not available for SmartServer Pi. (AP-11975)

Warnings: 

  • LON RNI may fail with this release. Use a different release if you required LON RNI. (AP-13627)

  • In some cases, importing a valid EnOcean or LoRaWAN Device Interface (XIF) definition may fail. Use a newer release if you need EnOcean or LoRaWAN support. (AP-13616)

  • When you access trend reports with many logged datapoint values, CMS web page updates may be slow. Close any trend reports to restore normal performance. (AP-11847)

  • You can downgrade a SmartServer running SmartServer 4.2 to an earlier release if the earlier release is compatible with your SmartServer hardware. However, due to security improvements in SmartServer 4.2, to downgrade to SmartServer 3.6 or earlier you must run the prep_for_3.x.sh script before or after you re-image your SmartServer. See step 3 here for more information. (AP-11235)

  • In some cases, the CMS displays stale data after you make a change.  If a datapoint value, context, preset, or other value is not displayed as you expect, refresh your browser window (Ctrl-F5 in many browsers).  If you are using the CMS Datapoints widget, you can click the Refresh button in the upper right corner of the widget. (LUM-7145, AP-7677)

  • You cannot set the latitude and longitude for a SmartServer by typing new values in the Devices widget. To change the latitude and longitude for a SmartServer, you can either drag the SmartServer icon to a new location on the map in the Devices widget, or you can enter new values in the Planning widget. (AP-11085)

  • In some cases, connections with many destinations may fail to update all destinations. If you have any connections with many destinations, test them to verify all destinations are updated as expected. If you observe any failed updates, break up the connection into multiple connections with fewer destinations per connection. (AP-9259)

  • In some cases, the CMS Sequencing widget may get stuck with an Adding Flows to Workspace message. Restart the SmartServer to eliminate the message.

  • In some cases, when you create a connection between two LON datapoints, the devices involved in the connection may be deprovisioned.  You can recover by reprovisioning the devices after they become deprovisioned. (AP-8360)

  • You cannot delete a device that has any datapoints in a calendar event. To recover after deleting such a device, add back the device, delete its datapoints in any calendar events, and then delete the device again. (LUM-9443)

  • Updates to BACnet datapoints defined in the SmartServer BACnet Server occur at datapoint priority 16. This can prevent updates to the same datapoints from an internal SmartServer application using Normal priority. The workaround is to write the datapoints at priority 16 from any internal SmartServer applications. (AP-12475)

  • Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) is enabled by default. This process runs a daily cron job that creates a significant load on the CPU and filesystem. In cases where this process impacts system performance, you can disable AIDE manually through an SSH console session. See Configuring Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE).

Changes: 

  • Take control of security settings with new widget and context access controls, and a configurable session timeout, per user. (AP-10975, AP-10974, and AP-11252)

  • Simplify BACnet server configuration replication with BACnet type map export. All of your BACnet type map (BTM) files are now exported when you export SmartServer settings. (LUM-8875)

  • Access more BACnet Multi-State Input (MSI) objects with a new higher limit of 2500 MSI objects. (AP-11095)

  • Accelerate LoRaWAN device integration with auto-provision. The SmartServer now automatically provisions LoRaWAN devices when notified about a new LoRaWAN device by the LoRaWAN Network Server (LNS). (AP-10747)

  • Get more clarity on local time for the CMS host with CMS host local time display in the CMS dashboard. (AP-11060)

  • The following problems have been fixed:

    • When using Enhanced Security, you could not send a Service message from a SmartServer to an IP-852 channel when you pressed a Service/Connect or Send button on the Configuration page LON tab. (AP-11241)

    • If you updated a datapoint using the CMS Datapoints widget, in some cases there was up to a six second delay before the datapoint was updated due to throttling in the SmartServer. (AP-11182)

    • In some cases, if you deleted a discovered device and later re-discovered the device, the device would be shown with a gray icon in the CMS Devices widget. The gray state indicated the device is not fully defined. (AP-11310)

    • In some cases, if you provisioned a LON device in the CMS Devices widget, you would see yellow notification messages reporting communication failures. (AP-10794)

    • The column sort buttons did not work in the CMS Datapoints widget. (AP-11189)

    • In some cases, self-signed security certificates were not updated correctly. (AP-10988)

    • In some cases, deployed connections could not be removed. (AP-10957)

    • Down devices were not visible from BACnet workstations when using the SmartServer BACnet Server. (AP-11666)

    • In some cases, updating exception schedule for BACnet Scheduler objects failed. (AP-10387)

    • In some cases, local BACnet broadcasts were not correctly forwarded to BBMDs. (AP-11069)

    • In some cases, the BACnet Server returned the wrong datapoint with the BACnet Trend Log object. (AP-11259)

    • When creating a connection, in some cases the default direction for a datapoint in a connection template was not appropriate for the datapoint. (AP-11054)

    • Some resource types were not processed correctly. (AP-11839)

Warnings: 

  • If you operate the 4.1 beta release at a sustained rate of 20 events per second (EPS) or higher, your SmartServer may reboot every week. This is one half of the 40 EPS sustained rate expected for production releases. To prevent reboots, keep the sustained EPS below 20 EPS. This is the reason 4.1 has been released only as a beta. If you require less than 20 EPS sustained performance, you can use the 4.1 release for production systems.

  • The SmartServer includes a 32 GB SD card.  You can run out of free space on the SD card if you create many backups or retain too much data in the data log, and performance will degrade if the storage for logged data exceeds 100 MB and will degrade significantly if the storage for logged data exceeds 8 GB. The SmartServer requires a minimum of 8 GB free space on the SD card for normal operation. For optimal performance, always keep 8 GB of free space on the SD card and keep logged data below 100 MB.    The Datapoint Properties widget displays an estimate of how much SD card space will be required for logged data based on your data log configuration.  You can use this value to manage the space required for data logs and keep the size below 100 MB for best performance.  If required, you can free up space on the SD card by reducing the frequency and retention period for logged data and by deleting backups.  To delete backups from the SD card, see Backing Up, Restoring, and Cloning the SmartServer.

  • The SmartServer 4.1 software will not run on SmartServer hardware with a dual core processor.  You can determine which processor you have by reading the label on the bottom of the SmartServer. The serial number printed under the product name includes one letter. If the letter is F or later, you have a quad core processor. If the letter is A through E, you have a dual core processor that is not compatible with this release. 

  • In some cases, after upgrading to SmartServer 4.1 from a prior release or after restarting the SmartServer, some operational devices will be marked down and shown with a red icon in the CMS Devices widget. You can mark a device incorrectly shown as down as up with a green icon by testing the device in the CMS Devices widget. (AP-11618, AP-11634)

  • In some cases, including upgrading to SmartServer 4.1 from a prior release, the Notification button in the CMS dashboard can become disabled which will disable all CMS warning and error notifications. To re-enable notifications, click the Notifications button. (AP-11442)

  • You can downgrade a SmartServer running SmartServer 4.1 to an earlier release if the earlier release is compatible with your SmartServer hardware. However, due to security improvements in SmartServer 4.1, to downgrade to SmartServer 3.6 or earlier you must run the prep_for_3.x.sh script before or after you re-image your SmartServer. See step 3 here for more information. (AP-11235)

  • When defining a Modbus XIF with 5-digit addresses, the address may be misinterpreted as a Modicon address. To work around, encode the address as a Modicon address by adding one to the address and putting a prefix of 0 (FC00),1 (FC01), 3 (FC04) or 4 (FC03) onto the address and omit the separate function code. (AP-11915)

  • Multi-select sometimes fails in the CMS Devices widget due to system events cancelling your selection. (AP-12187)

  • In some cases, the CMS displays stale data after you make a change.  If a datapoint value, context, preset, or other value is not displayed as you expect, refresh your browser window (Ctrl-F5 in many browsers).  If you are using the CMS Datapoints widget, you can click the Refresh button in the upper right corner of the widget. (LUM-7145, AP-7677)

  • We have added regions as a new type of context in the CMS. The new feature is not fully implemented yet. As a result, you cannot assign devices to regions. (AP-11349)

  • In some cases, a combination of certain datapoint property settings and alarm configuration can result in the SmartServer logging more alarms than expected in the Alarms widget. (AP-11328)

  • You cannot set the latitude and longitude for a SmartServer by typing new values in the Devices widget. To change the latitude and longitude for a SmartServer, you can either drag the SmartServer icon to a new location on the map in the Devices widget, or you can enter new values in the Planning widget. (AP-11085)

  • In some cases, when you deploy a connection template the SmartServer may become non-responsive. Restart the SmartServer to recover. (AP-11529)

  • In some cases, connections with many destinations may fail to update all destinations. If you have any connections with many destinations, test them to verify all destinations are updated as expected. If you observe any failed updates, break up the connection into multiple connections with fewer destinations per connection. (AP-9259)

  • The following problems have been fixed:

    • A default SNTP server was not specified. The default is now pool.ntp.org. (LUM-9853)

    • The following special characters were not supported in strong passwords: “$”, “/”, “^”, and “&”. (LUM-9910)

    • In some cases, datapoint updates failed after adding schedule events with the same datapoints. (AP-10478)

    • Responses to BACnet broadcast messages sometimes failed. (AP-10532)

    • Connections to IOX datapoints sometimes failed. (AP-10548)

Warnings: 

  • You can update an installed SmartServer running an earlier release of the SmartServer software to the SmartServer 3.6 Update 3 software.  However, after you have installed the SmartServer 3.6 Update 3 software you cannot go back to an earlier release without either restoring a full system backup with the earlier release, or re-imaging your SmartServer with an earlier release.  Always backup your SmartServer prior to updating it to the SmartServer 3.6 Update 3 software.  To go back to an earlier release, either restore one of your backups with the earlier release, or re-image your SmartServer with a clean version of the earlier release as described in Updating with the SmartServer Configuration Page.  Links to prior releases are available on this page. (LUM-8271)

  • The SmartServer 3.6 Update 3 software will not run on SmartServer hardware with a dual core processor.  You can determine which processor you have by reading the label on the bottom of the SmartServer. The serial number printed under the product name includes one letter. If the letter is F or later, you have a quad core processor. If the letter is A through E, you have a dual core processor that is not compatible with this release. 

  • IzoT CT 4.2 or a newer version, or IzoT Net Server 4.2 or a newer version, is required to use the IzoT Net Export Utility.

  • In some cases, the CMS displays stale data after you make a change.  If a datapoint value, context, preset, or other value is not displayed as you expect, refresh your browser window (Ctrl-F5 in many browsers).  If you are using the CMS Datapoint Browser, you can click the Refresh button in the upper right corner of the widget. (LUM-7145, AP-7677)

  • The SmartServer requires free space on the SD card for normal operation and requires logged data to be less than 8 GB.  For optimal performance, keep logged data below 100 MB.  The SmartServer includes a 32 GB SD card.  You can run out of free space on the SD card if you create many backups or retain too much data in the data log, and performance will degrade if the storage for logged data exceeds 100 MB and will degrade significantly if the storage for logged data exceeds 8 GB.  The Datapoint Properties widget displays an estimate of how much SD card space will be required for logged data based on your data log configuration.  You can use this value to manage the space required for data logs and keep the size below 100 MB for best performance or keep the size below 8 GB for acceptable performance.  If required, you can free up space on the SD card by deleting backups.  To delete backups from the SD card, see Managing the SmartServer SD Card. (LUM-7271)

  • In some cases, connections with many destinations may fail to update all destinations. If you have any connections with many destinations, test them to verify all destinations are updated as expected. If you observe any failed updates, break up the connection into multiple connections with fewer destinations per connection. (AP-9259)

  • In some cases, when you create a connection between two LON datapoints, the devices involved in the connection may be deprovisioned.  You can recover by reprovisioning the devices after they become deprovisioned. (AP-8360)

  • You cannot delete a device that has any datapoints in a calendar event. To recover after deleting such a device, add back the device, delete its datapoints in any calendar events, and then delete the device again. (LUM-9443)

  • Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE) is enabled by default. This process runs a daily cron job that creates a significant load on the CPU and filesystem. In cases where this process impacts system performance, you can disable AIDE manually through an SSH console session. See Configuring Advanced Intrusion Detection Environment (AIDE).

Changes: 

  • Add custom tags to datapoints by device type to simplify interfaces with AI, building analytics, and other applications. Device-type-specific datapoint tags can save you hundreds of hours of integration time. You can create your own tags so that you can use your favorite ontology such as Haystack or Google Digital Building Ontology.

  • Use a common set of contexts in the Remote CMS across multiple SmartServers. Using shared contexts, you can have high-level contexts such as sites and buildings that contain multiple SmartServers, and low-level contexts such as floors and rooms that are each managed by a single SmartServer.

  • Enhance Remote CMS security with the new wired IEEE-802.1X network access control and alternate ACMEv2 PKI system support options. The Remote CMS uses LetsEncrypt by default. With the new alternate PKI option, you can use other ACMEv2-compatible PKI systems such as KeyFactor.

  • Get control of log sizes with the new data and event log pruning interfaces.

  • Find what you need with new negative filters. Use the new “Not” option to define a display filter that only shows items that do not match the criteria you specify.

  • Increase productivity with faster BACnet device discovery.

  • The following problems have been fixed:

    • Increased frequency of certificate renewal tests from weekly to daily. (AP-10384)

    • In some cases, connections for LON power line devices were deleted and recreated after the SmartServer restarted. (AP-10302, LUM-9794)

    • In some cases, time and time zone changes failed. (AP-10215, AP-10218, LUM-9474, LUM-9490, LUM-9784)

    • In some cases, datapoint updates were not correctly logged. (AP-10328, LUM-9780)

    • Google maps sometimes fail to display correctly. (LUM-9574)

    • Writing a Null value to the priority array sometimes fails. (AP-9783)

    • BACnet discovery failed to discover BACnet devices with duplicate product names but different program IDs. (LUM-9364)

    • In some cases, BACnet datapoints could not be updated. (AP-10252)

    • The BACnet router sometimes failed when the LAN or WAN connection was removed. (AP-9750)

    • Device type package (DTP) files including DLA files sometimes failed on import. (LUM-9665)
