    3 Outstanding Problems

    There are a number of known issues discovered after code freeze that will be addressed in a future AM/AMM release.

    Reference Problem Description
    10239

    There is a known issue in how the AM/AMM calculates the amount of memory required for CSV AssetTemperature Stats Graph report.

    9398

    At the top of the Dashboard view when a single device or several devices are selected, there is a section at the top of the right pane that describes how many devices are in the group or details on the gateway (depending on if group or gateway is selected). The group path elements are hyperlinks. Clicking on a group in the shown path should select the group on the left pane while refreshing the right pane with its gateways. However, nothing happens when those hyperlinks are clicked.

    9290

    Special character (backslash) in a Zone name prevented Zone Maps from being displayed. Customers should avoid creating Zone names with backslashes in them.

    9273

    There is conflicting validation/help text with the template for the QoS Rule “Destination Address” field.

    7216

    There are directories found in /home/inmotion/ftp/MHS_logs/ with GNX device connected that should not be present.

    6523

    Some gateways do not show up on the Dashboard in AM/AMM due to the UI pagination. Customers can change the default page size to address this issue.

    6225

    Main Battery (“Mainbattery”) “link” on the Dashboard links to a Stats Graph report for this stat. Editing this stat causes the data to disappear.

    5718

    The Bandwidth Consumption erroneously reports high data usage during Daylight Savings.

    4989

    When the Stats Graph report is generated for stats whose values depend on the user’s measurement units setting (e.g. Imperial or Metric), the actual displayed units may not agree with those displayed in the graph’s title, which makes the report confusing.
