Update

New Features and Enhancements for Connectivity Products Released

New Features:

  • Zoom Room certification for improved compatibility.
  • VBT's can be added to Bose Work Management (BWM) through known IP.
  • RESTful API with basic authentication for control and management.
  • Microsoft Teams Telemetry is now supported.
  • BWM device list can be exported to .xls.

Enhancements:

  • Implemented room compensation processing for reverberant rooms.
  • BWM shows VB1 USB connection status.
  • BWM displays USB call status (HID supported clients).
  • BWM shows USB Audio streams and mute status for each.
  • BWM allows mDNS discovery to be disabled.
  • Beyond that, there are improvements to default image settings that will overwrite previous defaults without affecting user-modified settings.

Fixed Bugs:

  • Resolved issue where VB1 does not connect to hidden networks.
  • Removed deprecated protocols: SSLv1.0, SSLv2.0, SSLv3.0, TLSv1.0, TLSv1.1, and TLSv1.2 on both wireless and wired interfaces.
  • Eliminated vulnerabilities from RC4/Arcfour cipher and Sweet32 attacks on both wireless and wired interfaces.
  • Ensured BWM retains sort order.

Open Issues:

  • VBl's may take longer to be discovered in BWM after initial start-up.
  • Online VBl's do not populate in BWM after being added manually. (Workaround: close and restart BWM).
  • People counting only works when autoframing is enabled and camera stream is active.
  • Person detection also only works under the same conditions.
  • If a mobile device paired with VB1 ignores an incoming call, the VB1 audio level will set to 50%.
  • iOS users may struggle to connect via the Bose Work mobile app and Bluetooth simultaneously. (Workaround: disconnect mobile from VB1 and reconnect through the app).
  • Exclusion zones in Dynamic mode are still active in Static mode but not visible. (Workaround: disable all exclusion zones in Dynamic mode if using Static beams).
  • The visual display of beams in BWC may sync issues, especially on power-up.
  • Scheduled firmware updates in BWM do not work if NTP service isn't set up on VB1's. (Workaround: install updates manually).
  • VB1 inadvertently comes out of standby if the WiFi network is lost/returns. (Workaround: disable Low Power Mode (LPM)).
  • On some older Dell laptops, the USB-C port may cause flickering with DisplayLink. Use a USB-A port as a workaround.
