1.About this firmware
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This firmware is intended for those who are using the VX-3000F firmware
of the version earlier than 5.23 and want to upgrade it.


2. Update history
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-Ver.5.30
The added functions are as follows:
*Function enhancement of Indicate for terminal status on the maintenance screen

The Updateted functions are as follows:
*Reduced the amount of command transmissions by VX-3000CT
*Added processing to skip impedance initialization during broadcasting
*Added processing to cancel sleep mode during impedance initialization
*Fixed a rare issue where some Related control outputs did not activate when multiple Related control outputs were controlled simultaneously
*Fixed a rare issue where TALK broadcasting failed after quickly toggling TALK ON/OFF on RM-300X or RM-200SF
*Improved reset process of Emergency warning broadcast
*Fixed an issue where some ANC setting values were not applied when using Apply settings
*Improved operation stability for short-duration program timer events
*Added a fail-safe function for cases where remote microphone TALK timeout did not execute
*Fixed an issue where remote microphone broadcasts were not delivered on some lines
*Optimized inter-device communication commands in system combination


-Ver.5.23
The Updateted functions are as follows:
*Fixed a bug that when using the NX-300, NX-300 output not switching by broadcast switching.


-Ver.5.22
The Updateted functions are as follows:
*Improved communication between frames when using the VX-3000CT
*Fixed a bug in PTT operation of RM-500


-Ver.5.21
The Updateted functions are as follows:
*Improved a tolerance for line noise between RM and VX-3000F.


-Ver.5.20
The Updateted functions are as follows:
*Compatible with RM-500
*"EMG enable operation" was added to the content 3 of the "Emergency broadcast pattern start"
*Changed the control of reading version of PCB
*Improved tolerance as to amplifier inspection function
*Changed not to output the pilot signal of VX-300LO
*Updated protocol stack (improved IGMP operation)
*Fixed a bug that TALK is repeatedly turned on and off when TALK (PTT) is performed during AUX (BGM) broadcasting
*Fixed a bug in the program timer function included in Ver.5.10
*Fixed a bug that some Sound settings values were not reflected even if you pressed Apply Settings included in Ver.5.10.
*Fixed a bug in VX-3000PM audio input MIX setting
*Improved tolerance as to abnormal operation of the talk key of the remote microphone


-Ver.5.10
The app functions are as follows:
*Compatible with VX-3000PM, VX-3000CT and VX-300LO
*Sleep mode
*Chime sound source to audio source type of general broadcast pattern setting
*Related control output to VX-3004F and VX-3008F audio output settings
*Volume level value acquisition command to remote protocol
*Jitter buffer setting function to network sound source broadcast request command of remote protocol

The following functions were improved:
*When selecting a zone with the RM key, the related control output may not work properly.
*Under certain conditions, the signal indicator of the standby amplifier may turn on.
*Base pattern may not start properly with the timer function.
*When the network sound source broadcast command of the remote protocol is repeatedly started and stopped, 
 the broadcast status may be inconsistent.


-Ver.5.01
The following functions are improved:
*Control output may not work properly under specific settings
*VX-3000F units have fuse errors before system activation, 
 the fuse error LEDs of them don't turn on and off properly


-Ver.5.00
The added functions are as follows:
*Timer setting
*Change the scale of impedance value to ohm
*Activate control output when selecting zones
*Set emergency mode when activating emergency warning broadcast
*Notification buzzer for disablement of EMG control from CIN
*Control output interlocked with emergency broadcast state
*Expand the number of emergency sequence phases up to 30
*TALK key event separation in emergency/general mode 
 when emergency RM or emergency/general RM is used
*Added every 2 hours to battery check interval setting

The following functions were improved:
*Interlocking control output may not work as intended during broadcasting
*Network sound source broadcasting may not start
*Main unit failure status bit is set periodically with remote protocol 0300


-Ver.4.00
The added functions are as follows:
*Supported system combination function

The following functions were improved:
*Fade in / out may not work properly under specific conditions
*General fault, CPU fault control output may operate unintentionally


-Ver.3.01
The added functions are as follows:
*Supported amplifiers with power supply voltage of 100V(VX-012DA-2, VX-024DA-2, VX-036DA-2)

The following functions were improved:
*In A-Zone short circuit of VX-3004F, there is a case that it can not broadcast to B-zone
*Repeated TALK ON / OFF during Base pattern broadcasting slows broadcast start
*There is a case that the amplifier is stopped by detecting the amplifier failure when shorting the speaker line to 0 


-Ver.3.00
The added functions are as follows:
*Email functions for fault detections
*Modbus Protocol
*40 units expansion
*Delay time adjustment between frames
*EMG silence function

*Unit fault interlocking function on AMP fault detect setting
*EMG ACK function
*Disable function for EMG activation by control inputs
*NO/NC settings for EMG events
*Several RM-200SF can be connected to a RS-LINK
*EV sequence phase time : 10 sec. step setting

The following functions were improved:
*Failure of setting data upload at VX-3000F startup
