What's new in PageR Enterprise 5.3.5

Feb 8, 2013
  • Fixed several bugs in the TAPI telephone notification feature.

New in PageR Enterprise 5.3.4 (Feb 8, 2013)

  • Added a new feature to the Alternate Main screen (treeview). Under the
  • Settings pull down menu you can choose to show MO Descriptions instead
  • of MO identifiers (if a description is present) in the treeview. This
  • is very useful where MO identifiers are not descriptive.
  • Fixed two more bugs related to notification changes made in v5.3 that
  • can cause problems with Tapi calls.

New in PageR Enterprise 5.3.3 (Feb 8, 2013)

  • Fixed a bug introduced in 5.3 that failed to mark Skype SMS notifica-
  • tions as completed, resulting in such notifications repeating.

New in PageR Enterprise 5.3.2 (Feb 8, 2013)

  • Minor adjustments for Windows 8 compatibility.
  • Fixed a bug in the TAPI voice notification. The Silence Threshold value
  • was not being properly applied when making a call.
  • Fixed several minor bugs in SNMP mibs and mib processing code.
  • Fixed bug in Disk Drives MO that resulted in a run time error when it
  • encountered a DVD-ROM drive.

New in PageR Enterprise 5.3.1 (Feb 8, 2013)

  • Updated the Pre-Defined Monitored Object definition file (PDMO.txt) to reflect firmware changes in the RoomAlert 11E environment monitoring device.
  • Added a new alarm message substituion parameter to the Service MO. This parm, STATENAME, will return the state of the Service as a word instead of an integer value.
  • Fix problem where run time errors in screen updating code would stop on a message box waiting for ok button click. This would suspend operation unessesarily. These RTE are recorded on the log window and operation continues.
  • Fixed a bug in OPSLib that caused occaisional RTE 462 errors during the shutdown process.
  • Please note that as of this date, this product has not been tested on Windows 8.

New in PageR Enterprise 5.3 (Mar 2, 2012)

  • Added a new monitored object, TEMPer Sensor, which supports monitoring
  • the TEMPer series temperature & humidity sensor devices from PCsensor.
  • These devices can be connected to PCs on your network or to the network
  • itself to place temperature and humidity sensors at multiple locations
  • in your organization and these sensors can be centrally monitored by
  • PageR. See the online help for more information.
  • Added support for dialing telephones directly and speaking notification
  • messages over the phone connection without the use of Skype. Requires a
  • TAPI compliant voice capable modem. See the online help for more infor-
  • mation.
  • Added support for Voice Over IP (VOIP) notifications. This employs the
  • Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) to connect over your network or the
  • internet to voip clients or to regular telephones (through a gateway).
  • See the online help for more information.
  • Added the Run Statistics display from the Status Screen as an option on
  • Main screen (tree view). You can toggle the display of run statistics
  • on the Main screen Settings pull down menu.
  • Dropped support for Windows NT and 2000.
  • Extensive bug fixes and improvements made after 5.2.12 was closed.

New in PageR Enterprise 5.2.12 (Mar 2, 2012)

  • Fixed a design issue in SNMP Trap MO. When a trap arrived during the
  • scan of an SNMP Query MO, the trap processing failed to retrieve the
  • name of the agent that sent the trap. Without the name, matching the
  • trap to a Trap MO by agent name would fail. Now the trap and query MOs
  • snmp requests are separated and can occur at the same time.
  • Fixed a bug in the Email Ping MO when using MAPI as the transport. The
  • deletion of ping messages after processing could fail.
  • Fixed a design issue in using Skype, SIP and TAPI voice notifications.
  • These methods use text-to-speech to create .wav files which are then
  • 'played' over thier connections. The text-to-speech code had an edit
  • for the presence of a sound card and would not do these notification
  • methods if the system had no sound card. Sound card is only required if
  • the alarm message will be 'spoken' on the hosting system and is not
  • required to create the .wav files for the other notification methods.
  • The edit for sound card is removed when speaking to .wav file.
  • A number of issues have surfaced regarding voice notifications sent via
  • SKYPE. Skype version 5.1 works as documented and no significant issues
  • are known. However, Skype versions 5.3 and 5.5 present a number of new
  • problems:
  • 1) Skype 5.3 and 5.5 work when used by PageR running on desktop. They
  • do not work when used by PageR running as a service. There is no fix
  • at this time.
  • 2) If you choose to use Skype 5.3 or 5.5 on the desktop, after you in-
  • stall Skype, you must reinstall PageR 5.2.12 or later.
  • 3) If you use Skype 5.3 or 5.5 on Vista or later, PageR can start and
  • attach to the Skype client. PageR cannot attach to an existing instan-
  • ce of the Skype client unless the client is run as an administrator.
  • You can set this on the Skype.exe executable.
  • 4) All versions of Skype may not auto login when started by PageR. If
  • this occurs, contact tech support for a registry fix.
  • We highly reccomend staying with Skype 5.1 as it presents the least
  • issues and works reliably (and displays fewer windows). Skype 5.1 can
  • be downloaded here: http://www.oldapps.com/skype.php?old_skype=97
  • Fixed a bug in the SNMP Mib Explorer screen that could result in an RTE
  • when the mib file corresponding to an SNMP agent was missing an object
  • definition or completely missing.
  • Inlcuded ConfigReport.exe v1.0.1 which fixes a bug where ConfigReport
  • would fail if the configuration contained an empty MO Group.

New in PageR Enterprise 5.2.11 (Mar 2, 2012)

  • Modified the licensing scheme to change the Paging Edition license into
  • the new Free License. The Free License allows 10 Ping MOs only.

New in PageR Enterprise 5.2.10 (Mar 2, 2012)

  • Corrected a bug that caused an RTE when a single quote was used in a
  • Contacts name, as in: Bill's Email. The RTE would occur when creating
  • the tree view used in the Alternate interface screen.
  • Corrected a bug in the Bandwidth MO. Some devices do not define the
  • QLEN interface mib value and that would cause the entire Bandwidth MO
  • to fail for that device. Fixed to ignore the missing mib value and con-
  • tinue processing the other mib values retrieved from the agent.

New in PageR Enterprise 5.2.9 (Mar 2, 2012)

  • Corrected a bug in the FTP GET monitored object. When retrieving multiple files from the remote directory, the purge source file option did not purge the retrieved files.
  • If retrieving a specific file name the purge worked correctly.

New in PageR Enterprise 5.2.8 (Mar 2, 2012)

  • Corrected a bug in the product licensing code that has caused problems on some host systems.

New in PageR Enterprise 5.2.7 (Mar 2, 2012)

  • The Skype 5.1 client has several bugs that caused our Skype based alarm notification features to fail. Work arounds have been added to our code and the Skype based notifications will work correctly with this client.
  • Added buttons to Skype Tab on More Options screen to request immediate test of Skype configuration.
  • Corrected a bug in SNMP v2 trap handling.
  • Corrected a bug in the Main screen node counts in the left pane tree
  • view. If alarms were cleared, the node counts were not updated for the cleared alarms.
  • Corrected a bug in Event Log MO that could result in a loop when trying format event records with multi-level event messages and certain errors occurred during the multi-level message retrieval process.

New in PageR Enterprise 5.2.6 (Mar 2, 2012)

  • Added a new feature to the Main screen (new format). You can select a
  • new option on the Settings pull down menu which will display the count
  • of items on each node of the tree view in the left pane.
  • Updated the Web Status pages for improved formatting. Added new feature
  • to reduce the size of the boxes on the System View page. The smaller
  • boxes allow more systems to be displayed without scrolling. This can be
  • selected on the System View page. If you would like small system boxes
  • to be the default, set Globals registry value WebStatusSmallSystem to
  • "True".
  • Users have asked for resizable object add/change screens for years. To
  • retrofit resizing to the existing screens was a very complex job and
  • was never scheduled. Now, new technology is available that streamlines
  • adding resizing to existing screens. That technology has been added to
  • a number of screens in this release.
  • The Windows Performance Counter Query MO has long had problems with
  • reporting error C0000CB6 (Invalid Data) on the first attempt to read
  • data from the counter query. Subsequent data reads worked correctly.
  • This MO has been modified to ignore this specific error on the first
  • read of a new counter query.
  • Fixed bugs in both the MBSA and Windows Update MOs related to new ver-
  • sions of these products released by Microsoft.
  • Fixed various minor user interface bugs on a number of screens.
  • Fixed various bugs in the new license control scheme introduced in the
  • 5.2.5 release.
  • Fixed bug in Web Status that caused a run time error when refreshing
  • the web page for MOs with long lists of sub-objects (like SNMP Query).
