Please note that during operation, the metal side plates of ACCESS NX get very warm. This is because NX contains a high-power quad-core processor, and the NX design incorporates some elaborate heat spreading to vent the CPU heat to the side plates. It is completely normal for these plates to get very warm, and NX has been tested to operate of its full temperature range. Updates with 4.1p3 firmware *Consolidates all the stats onto one giant scrollable view (only scrolls horizontally) *Status bar popups for network devices now include ‘quick link’ which will take you directly to the config screen for that device *Status bar popup for crosslock status/delay setting now includes quick link to crosslock stats and crosslock config *New status bar popup for battery status *Reduced sensitivity for fader level popups *Fix peer list selection bug when list is updated (e.g. when switchboard status changes) *More aggressively remove Switchboard peers that should no longer remain in list *Internal clocking priority bug fixed *Adjusted CPU/GPU core voltage *Older Realtek wi-fi driver added *GUI system shutdown fix *Fix bug where if you navigated away from Network Manager or Remote Connection view when a modal dialog popped up (device editor, remote editor, or confirmation dialog), that dialog would be broken until the next reboot and not allow further editing because it was stuck waiting for the hidden modal dialog to close *GUI transition animation bug fixed where title would briefly show the wrong name when flipping between views with F2 key *Bug fixed where wrong title was shown after hitting the “Home” button to go to Remotes view *GUI crash recovery – enable GUI Watchdog script and display visual when activated *Several layout fixes in two-pane editors (profile editor, remote editor, network manager, system settings, etc) *Layout fixes/improvements on dashboard - text overlapping graphics, hide mutes 3,4,5,6 for non-mixer units *On CrossLock stats view show “No active CrossLock session” when no sessions active .. fix minor text/graph layout issue *Fix bug with missing advanced options in network manager device editor (e.g. preserve after reset, use with CrossLock, etc.) *Virtual keyboard bug (once popped up, it will re-open when navigating to different screens) *CrossLock delay slider and auto-mode for TX/RX is now implemented via popup bubble from the status bar – press status bar CrossLock icon once to show press again to hide (no autohide) *CrossLock sessions now properly destroyed and CrossLock status indicator will go gray as it should *New consolidated audio I/O screen for mixer-less units puts input and output functions onto one screen ... still works the same as before when mixer is present *Initial support for very basic operation on the peer list (up/down/enter) *Improve title bar icons for left/right popout panels – match left menu with the icon on the keypad *Fix size issue of title bar and status bar *Stereo/mono channel assignment fixed *Power/heat improvements *Fix to touchscreen init Updates with 4.2 firmware *Fix bug with profile selection in Edit Remote where the list of profiles would not show the current value and exhibit weird behavior when set to the default value *Fix legibility of charging icon when overlaid on top of black charging bar *Fix bug where items in the main content area could be activated via touchscreen while one of the side menus was open. *Fix bug where fader level popups interacted poorly with side menus.

Updates with 4.3p3 *Bug Fix in volatility of Line Out Matrix Mode. Updates with 4.3p4 * This release contains an experimental version of our new HTML5-based control page. It is available by addressing the codec the usual way, but adding /react (e.g. 192.168.0.7/react) It is not guaranteed to be bug-free*. We welcome bug reports but can't offer immediate fixes. User manual is in progress * fix issue with validation of sip messages when registered to look at the correct to/from header depending on request vs response * allow LPCM CL on all products except for 2USB * qmi modem now honors extra init setting * interpret port specification on set StaticPeer as one less than the CL port, per specified policy Known issues with experimental HTML5 GUI: ● Mobile browser support: the web UI does not work correctly on mobile browsers yet. If you switch your mobile browser to “request desktop site” (or equivalent setting) you may have better results. ● Login: you will get a “default password” warning message any time you type the default password into the password field and attempt to log in, even if the unit’s password is not actually set to default. ● Performance Tab: occasionally when you expand the accordions (“Active Connection”, “Codec Channel”, “CrossLock”, “CrossLock Settings”), the table to select the item you wish to view may not have an item selected by default (e.g. no channel selected, no CrossLock session selected). This means some of the statistics graphs or controls may not be shown until you click an item in the table. ● Audio Tab: the audio meters only show dbFS values, and the digital meters do not have a dB scale on them. ● Audio Tab: the audio meters are not configurable as they were in the earlier Flash GUI. On some constrained networks this may cause a problem as a large amount of data must be sent from the unit to the web browser to show the meters. ● Profile Manager: when adding a new profile or copying an existing profile, the new profile will be created but not automatically selected in the profile list on the left. ● Profile Manager: if you change the name of a profile, it will properly change in the list on the left, but may not change in the “Profile Settings” pane in the middle until you select a different profile and re-select the one you just renamed. ● Profile Manager: if you change other settings in the profile, the updated setting values may not reflect in the middle “Profile Settings” pane until you select a different profile and re-select the one you were editing. ● Profile Manager: if you have an “advanced” item selected in the middle pane, but turn off the “advanced” toggle, the right pane will still show the editor for that advanced value and changes can still be made. ● System Settings: values may be quite slow to update on-screen on older hardware (e.g. 2USB), and no visual indicator is currently shown while the system is busy updating the value. ● Network Manager: several important functions are missing in the Network Manager, including device status, and the ability to apply changed settings to an adapter. Basic settings do work, however.
