• A fixed RTP Port can now be specified for 2-way audio for Intercoms connected over the Internet.  Previously, RTP ports were always dynamically assigned
• Configuration changes can now be performed if the Intercom is connected via TCP. Previously, configuration changes could only made via UDP and could not be made if the Intercom was connected over the Internet
  
• Fixed an issue that would sporadically prevent Firmware updates from being applied
  

• Removed a "wait" between packets when uploading firmware.  Reduces the time for a firmware upload by 30 seconds
  

• Added the ability to specify a single "Shared” RTP Port for Intercom Audio
  
• Added the ability to configure intercoms via TCP instead of UDP only
• Text -To-Speech messages sent to a group will automatically be sent using the Server's “Paging Protocol” instead of defaulting to TCP
• Reduced Intercom keep-alive traffic by 60%
• Improved the sending of the optional "beep tones" added to the start and end of an audio conversation
• Improved UDP Unicast and Broadcast “Paging Port” usage. Ports used by other applications are now automatically skipped
  
• Added additional support so Operator Consoles that disconnect while playing a Group Message, can cancel an active Group Message when the Operator Console reconnects
  
• Fixed an "Intercom in Use" issue caused by Intercoms disconnecting multiple times while a Group message was playing
  
• Fixed an issue caused by pressing the Intercom’s Talk button at the same time the “One Moment” response was being sent to the Intercom

• Improved the speed of updating the “Status tab” when many Intercoms are connected to the TMEE Server
  
• Added support for TMEE Server Shared RTP Port and Intercom Fixed RTP Port settings
  

• Prevented selection of other options while a Group Message was being played

• Fixed the display of the "SIP Status" if an Endpoint disconnected
• Fixed an issue for any SIP field greater that 128 bytes

TMEE Server

• Prevent crash and return proper Response Code to the Console if the correct audio protocol is not observed
• Delete the Call Queue entry for an endpoint that disconnected during a call
• Ensure the Disconnect Event is always sent to the Consoles

Admin Console

• Improved the function to REPLACE an Intercom.   After updating to the new release, the Admin Console should be opened to the Intercoms tab and the FIND ALL button pressed.  If the Intercom is able to respond with its configuation, the configuration will be saved for future REPLACE operations 
• Duplicate Intercom Discovery responses from unconfigured Intercoms.  This prevents changes being being erased while keying in the configuration of the new endpoint
• On the Intercoms tab, allow the ST/ADA option to be selected regardless of the position of the ST-MIC switch

Operator Console

• Fixed the "Stop File" function so a currently playing wav file could be cancelled
• Prevented a "hang" condition that required a restart of the Operator Console
• Process new Response Codes received from the TMEE Server
• In the Setup Volume mode, fixed the "Stop Test" function so a currently playing test file could be cancelled
  

SIP Media Gateway Console

• Correctly REGISTER an endpoint that does not have a password set on the SIP server.  This caused an issue if the Intercom called a SIP Phone and the SIP Phone never answered the call
• Fix for a REGISTER that expired in less than 300 seconds
• Fixed an issue that was causing degraded audio quality 

TMEE Server

  Operator Console, the Groups and their associated Messages are included on a
  new tab used for 1-way audio paging
• Added the ability to select the voice used in 3rd party Text-To-Speech applications
• Added an Update Now option to the bottom of the screen to dynamically send most
  Admin Console updates to the Server and Operator Consoles without needing to
  restart the TMEE Server service
• Added an option to use the RTP protocol instead of the TCP/IP protocol to send and
  receive 2-way Intercom audio
• Added a Managed check box to Intercom/Paging Endpoint configuration to authorize devices added to the system
• Added a Replace option on the Intercoms tab to copy the configuration of an existing endpoint and replace it with a new endpoint

  Intercoms/Paging Endpoints and send them a pre-defined audio Message
• Added the ability to sort on the Status column in the Intercoms tab in addition to the
  Location, Queue and IP Address

• Changed the Door Open Relay to be active for up to 255 seconds
• Added the ability to disable AGC (Automatic Gain Control) on the Intercom's microphone and manually set the microphone gain. 
• Only process the “end of page” command for the audio page currently being played
• Properly shut down the speaker at the end of an audio broadcast  

• This release is recommended for use with TMEE Server. It is not recommended for use with TalkMaster LE or for Direct Mode
• If connected to the TMEE Server and the “find intercoms” or “configure intercoms” commands are received, respond to the IP Address which issued the command instead of to the Broadcast address (255.255.255.255). This allows the Admin Console to configure ii3 Intercoms connected in remote subnets if they are currently connected to the TMEE Server and not behind a NAT’d firewall
• Added the Endpoint’s ICOM ID  to create a unique Host Name when obtaining an IP address via DHCP
• When not connected to the TMEE Server, attempt server connection less often (every 5 seconds)
