Corrected Anomalies in This Release

This release corrects the following anomalies.

Get Identity command sent frequently by PanelView 800 terminal to Micro800 controller

Corrected Anomaly as of Firmware Revision 8.012

Known Anomaly First Identified as of Firmware Revision 8.011

Catalog Numbers:                                   


The PanelView™ 800 terminal sends the Get Identity command to the Micro800™ controller repeatedly over short intervals.

This anomaly occurs due to a damaged configuration file, which prevents the terminal from reading the timeout information that is configured.
