Known issues

NWare

57 - Additional steps needed for non-admin users running NWare or Kiosk

Currently, non-administrator users cannot run NWare or Kiosk without additional steps being completed after the installation.

The administrator must change the permissions of the \program files\mediamatrix\nware <version>\plugins\nware\xml folder to allow write access for the non-administrator users. Once this has been done, NWare and Kiosk will operate normally.

For more information, see Allowing non-admin users to run NWare and Kiosk in the NWare User Guide.

633 - Define Plugin menu option in device tree is sometimes grayed out

If a block is open on the design page, you cannot define a plugin by right-clicking in the Plugins tree - the menu item is grayed out. Right-clicking the device you want to add to the plugins menu or selecting Define Plugin from the Tools menu works fine.

662 - Exporting a page with an nTouch 60 device stops the nTouch 60 working

If you export a page, ready to make it available to Kiosk users, and that page contains an nTouch 60 node, this will prevent the pages inside the nTouch 60 block from being viewed on the nTouch 60.

724 - When CAB control interface not specified, error shown when deploying

If you deploy a project containing CAB devices to an nControl, you must also select which Ethernet port the CAB control will use. By default, no port is selected. If you attempt to deploy with no port selected, the message role start failed: adapter not initialized will be displayed on the Role Deployment dialog box.

For information on selecting a port, see Interfacing with a CAB device in the nControl Hardware Manual.

726 - It is not possible to specify which exported page to display as the default in Kiosk

When you deploy a project containing a number of pages, you cannot specify which one will be displayed when Kiosk starts. The last page that was exported is always displayed first.

A workaround for this problem is to open NWare, click the page you want to display first, remove it from the exported pages group, click OK to confirm, then add it to the group again. When you redeploy the project, the correct page will be displayed first.

727 - Third party firewalls may need configuration changes when running NWare

When NWare is installed, it adds exceptions to the Windows Firewall. If you use a 3rd party firewall, you may need to add these exceptions manually.

NION

736 - Unable to reboot or shut down NION after running Subnet Bridge role

We have seen an occasional problem with the MediaMatrix Subnet Bridge device. If you deploy a role containing this device to a NioNode, then deploy a new role to the NioNode that does not contain this device, it is no longer possible to restart the NioNode from the web UI, and it is no longer listed on the NWare Remote Log tab. You must erase the role and then power cycle the NION, then it will be available for use.

NION and nControl

723 - NION and nControl web interfaces do not operate correctly in Google Chrome

We recommend using a different browser, such as Internet Explorer or Firefox.
