BTL Certification – The BACnet protocol support
in this release has been tested by the BACnet
Testing Laboratories (BTL) with 100% testing
completed and no issues found in conformance to
the BACnet protocol standards. The
BTLCertification listing for the Unity card on the
BACnet International website can be found here.
Improved Static Pressure Monitoring by supporting the Inches of Water Column (inWC) unit of
measure for static pressure measurements and set points via BACnet, Modbus, and SNMP interfaces.
Previously these have only been supported in Pascals for our thermal management units.
This release contains fixes for the following issues:
Component
Description
Web Interface
When using a recent version of the Firefox browser, some cookie settings would
cause the initialization page to get stuck. This has been corrected.
Additional security vulnerabilities have been addressed.
Corrected unit of measure conversions that used floating point factors.
BACnet MSTP
SNMP
LIFE Services
Added support for BACnet MSTP 76800 bps data rate.
A timing and load problem was causing loss of communications between
building management systems and thermal management devices at a few
customer sites. This problem has been corrected.
When Sensors are reordered on the Sensor webpage, the SNMP tables
reflecting the new order were not made until the card was restarted. This has
been corrected. After a little delay the sensors will appear in the SNMP tables
in the correct order without restarting the card.
Sensor data is now visible during a LIFE online session.
Increased transmission buffer size so more data can be transmitted in a single
call.
Persisted event status across card restart and communication recovery intervals
to eliminate misleading event state transitions.
===================================================================================
3. Security Issues Addressed
===================================================================================
The following highly publicized security vulnerabilities have already been addressed in a previous release:
Name
Description
“ShellShock”
Updated bash version to fix this in release 4.2
“Poodle”
SSLv3 was disabled in release 5.0
Cross-Scripting
Cross-Scripting entries via the Web user Interface were
restricted in release 5.1

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.
