You can now add CAB 8n nodes to your design. For more information, see Adding a CAB 8n node to your design in the NWare User Guide and CAB 8n in the NWare Device Reference.
There is a new iPad device that allows you to control an NWare project from an iPad. This is located under Hardware/Mobile Display in the NWare device tree.
For more information, see Adding an iPad device to your design in the NWare User Guide.
There is a new iPhone device that allows you to control an NWare project from an iPhone. This is located under Hardware/Mobile Display in the NWare device tree.
For more information, see Adding an iPhone device to your design in the NWare User Guide.
A new nWall plugin has been added to support the new nWall hardware device. This is located under Plugins/Peavey/Hardware in the NWare device tree.
For more information, see Adding an nWall node to your design in the NWare User Guide.
There is a new application that allows you to control an NWare project from an iPad or iPhone. It is called NWare Mobile, and is available for download from the Apple App Store.
There are two versions of the application: a full version and a free (lite) version, called NWare Mobile Designers Edition. The free version is fully functional, but has a time limit. You can use it to connect to a project as many times as you want for one hour; afterwards, connections will be refused until the project has been redeployed or reemulated, or the host (nControl or nTouch 180) has been power cycled.
Note: Releases of NWare Mobile prior to version 1.2 are not compatible with NWare 1.6.3 Beta-4 and later.
NWare Mobile requires Apple Bonjour to be installed – either on the nControl or nTouch 180 (if you are deploying a project) or the NWare PC (if you are emulating a project).
To install Apple Bonjour on the NWare PC
To install Apple Bonjour on the nControl or nTouch 180
Notes:
or download the nTouch 180 firmware here: http://www.peaveyoxford.com/software_releases/MakeNC180USB_163.zip.
makeusb <USB drive letter>
and press Enter.The operating system files will be copied to the USB stick.
The firmware update process will start automatically. A command prompt window will be displayed while the files are being copied to the unit. When the process has finished, the unit will power down.
The new CAB 8n Configurable Audio Bridge has been released. For more information, refer to the CAB 8n Hardware Manual.
If you want to host an NWare project on an nTouch 180, an activation key is no longer required.
When you display the frequency response graph for an Equalizer device, the part of the graph that can be adjusted by gesturing is indicated by a box. The size of this box has been increased to make it easier to gesture the graph using your finger when the project is viewed on a touch device, like an iPad.
Previously, there was an nTouch 180 device and an nTouch 180++ device. The nTouch 180++ device has been removed and the nTouch 180 device now includes redundancy settings.
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.
We recommend that you place nTouch 60 devices, Kiosk Layout blocks, Kiosk2Go Layout blocks and Mobile Display blocks on a separate page to the other devices in the project, and do not export the page.
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.
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.
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.
In order to set up an audio connection to a CAB 8n in NWare, you must select the advanced subchannel mapping check box on the device properties. It is not possible to create an audio connection without selecting this option. The control surface on the CAB has space for input and output bundle numbers, but these settings do not work.
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.
If a block was open on the design page, you could not define a plugin by right-clicking in the Plugins tree - the menu item was grayed out.
The NION serial port was not using raw mode when sending data out of the port. This meant that CR/LF (carriage return / line feed) characters were added to lines that previously did not include them.
