2. What’s New
===================================================================================
This release contains the following enhancements:

Support for the Liebert DCL thermal management units which includes the following protocol support:
o Emerson Protocol
o Web (HTTP/HTTPS)
o Email
o SNMP v1/v2c/v3
o SMS
o BACnet MSTP/IP
o Modbus RTU/TCP
LIFE Services support for the Liebert DCL will be added in a future Unity release.

Support for installing 3rd-party SSL Certificates for HTTPS is now available with this release. This
feature allows customers to install their own SSL Certificates from their own trusted Certificate
Authority (CA) for improved security.

Support for generating a self-signed SSL Certificate containing customer provided information, instead
of our Liebert default values, for Common Name, Organization, Organization Unit, City, State, Country
and Email Address.

Message Account Authentication support has been added for both email and text message
notifications. To reduce spam, messaging service providers may require validation of the sender’s
email or text message account credentials before accepting messages for processing using their
services.
NOTE - Some email servers may require account configuration changes to allow communication
with the Unity card. For example, Gmail only recognizes Google applications as being secure.
However, they provide an account setting that allows authentication with what they consider
“less-secure apps.” Please see your network administrator or service provider for configuration
details.


Message Encryption support has also been added for both connections to SMTP and SMS servers for
improved security. Message connections options supported are ‘use SSL/TLS encryption,’ ‘use
STARTTLS encryption,’ ‘or use no encryption’ (clear text).

AES Encryption is now a supported option with Unity’s SNMPv3 protocol support.
include AES, DES, and None.

Text Format support for the SNMPv3 EngineID has been added for improved security. In the past the
EngineID used for SNMPv3 communication was automatically generated using the Unity card’s MAC
address. Now a text format of the EngineID is optionally available for the administrator to select and
modify. A new EngineID will be generated from the text string entered by the administrator. See the
Unity User Manual for details.
Options now
This release contains fixes for the following issues:
Component
Description
Web Interface
Upgraded OpenSSL to a version that supports TLS1.2 to improve security for
HTTPS.
Long sensor labels could cause temperature & humidity status to be displayed
incorrectly in a web browser. This has been corrected.
A defect in the serial port driver was found that periodically would cause
communication with the managed device to restart. This problem has been
corrected.
A defect was found with the Modbus RTU interface that under certain
circumstances would cause a loss of communication requiring the card to be
rebooted. This problem has been corrected.
Some ‘upsident’ OIDs defined in the RFC1628 MIB were not available in all
supported UPS devices. This has been corrected.
The ‘Traps Only’ SNMPv3 User Setting did not function properly. This has
been corrected.
The Battery Rating and Battery Cabinet Type data values were not being
reported correctly. This has been corrected in the web display and the protocol
values.

4. Update Instructions
===================================================================================
The Unity cards may be updated to this firmware version using the web-based Firmware Upload feature.
Please refer to the Firmware Updates section of the Liebert IntelliSlot Unity Card User Manual (SL-52645).
===================================================================================
5. Known Issues
===================================================================================
Component
Description
Device Settings
When temperature settings are made on some thermal devices, there may be
some ‘round-off’ error of one tenth of a degree between what was requested and
what the device shows after the change. This is a known limitation of some
thermal device firmware versions and will be corrected in future versions of the
device controller firmware.
The IP address of the Unity card may be displayed on the local display of the
Liebert GXT4 UPS unit. The IP address is pushed to the GXT4 when the card
starts up. If the address changes (for example, if it is changed by the DHCP
server when the DHCP lease runs out), the local GXT4 display will continue to
show the old address until the card is restarted.
While the SNMP OIDS for the GXT are backward compatible with those from the
IS-WEBCARD, the text values in some SNMP varbinds and email/SMS
notifications have changed slightly to use the Unity card equivalent.
The preferred way to change the display order for multiple sensors is through the
Web user interface. If the order is changed using one of the supported protocols
then the entire list of sensors should be set in the correct order (including slots
that should become blank) to ensure all sensors are still included.
SNMP getnext requests may fail on some tables if there are multiple varbinds in
the request. If this occurs, use single-varbind requests.
