1.1 Service Update for Dialogic ® System Release 6.0 PCI for Windows ®
A Service Update for Dialogic® System Release 6.0 PCI for Windows® is now available.
Service Updates provide fixes to known problems, and may also introduce new
functionality. New versions of the Service Update are planned to be released periodically.
It is intended that this Release Update will document the features in the Service Updates.
Depending on whether you already have a version of Dialogic® System Release 6.0 PCI for Windows® on your system, installing the Service Update will give you either a full install or an update install:
• If you don’t have an existing version of System Release 6.0 PCI Windows on your system, installing the Service Update gives you a full install of the system release.
You can select the features that you want to install, for example, Development Package, Core Runtime Package, ISDN Protocols, Demos, SNMP Component Manager, Global Call Protocols, and Documentation.
Note: With the Service Update, the Global Call Protocols Package can now be installed as part of System Release 6.0 PCI Windows. Previously, this package was installed separately.
The Development Package and Demos are available in the Developer Edition only, not in the Redistributable Edition.
• If you have an existing version of System Release 6.0 PCI Windows on your system, installing the Service Update gives you an update install. The update install gives you the latest software for the features that you selected when you did the full install of the system release that is currently on your system. If you want additional features, such as the Global Call Protocols Package, you can use the Modify or Change option as explained in the Installation Guide.
A new Dialogic® System Release 6.0 PCI for Windows® Software Installation Guide has been added to the documentation bookshelf to describe the full install and update install procedures. The Dialogic® Global Call Country Dependent Parameters (CDP) for PDK Protocols Configuration Guide for the Global Call Protocols Package has also been added to the bookshelf.
Note: Since the Global Call Protocols Package is now included with this Service Update version of System Release 6.0 PCI Windows, the stand-alone protocols package should not be used. (If you already have the stand-alone protocols package installed, you will be prompted to remove it before installing the Service Update.) Do not install the stand-alone protocols package after installing the Service Update (full install or update install), or your software may become non-functional.
See the new Dialogic® System Release 6.0 PCI for Windows® Software Installation Guide on the documentation bookshelf for complete, detailed information about installing the software.
1.2 Support for Windows 8.1 Operating System - Dialogic ® JCT Media Boards
Service Update 271 adds limited Dialogic® Springware support on Dialogic® D/82JCT and Dialogic® D/42JCT PBX Integration Boards.
Notes:1. Power Management is not supported and must be disabled.
