Prerequisites:

  • None

Known Issues:

  • Multiple streaming videos can cause the G5 app to restart if the panel runs out of memory
  • After changing persona from Manager, a panel reboot may be required for Manager to recognize the newly selected persona
  • A firmware update may reset the display timeout to “Never Sleep”
  • An Advanced Settings Reset may not revert Hostname, Proxy, or HControl name back to default values

    • Listview buttons not populated after panel reboot
      • workaround: swipe/scroll the subpages section to update the Listview buttons
    • ^LVD command failed to load new data source on existing subpage set
      • workaround: use a new subpage set on a pop-up or new page
    • ^SAD may not properly add subpage to the end of the set

      • Resolved: Buttons using "Active Touch" may not recognize a push
      • Resolved: An "Active Touch" button may act like a “Bounding Box”
      • Resolved: Buttons with a bitmap image may not scale correctly when using “Scale to Fit”
