What’s New

This section describes some enhancements and fixings available in this software version 9.1.0.37

since previous Avaya XT Series GA version, v9.0.2.44.

Time Settings

In this release, SNTP Servers returned by DHCP (DHCP Option 42, NTP/SNTP RFC 1769), if

available, are preferred to some public Internet Servers for automatic configuration.

[GUI] CONFIGURE>ADVANCED>SYSTEM>DATE&TIME>GENERAL

[WEB] ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS>SYSTEM>DATE&TIME>GENERAL

Internet Time = Yes

oUse Default NTP Servers: if “Yes”, XT will use the SNTP servers returned by DHCP, if

available; otherwise it will use a list of well-known public servers on the Internet. If

“No”, XT will connect to the manually specified Server 1 or Server 2.

Figure 2: Internet Time, Use Default NTP Servers

In this release, it is also possible to enable geolocation to automatically discover XT time zone.

This allows also the system to apply automatically daylight saving settings, without configuration.

[GUI] CONFIGURE>ADVANCED>SYSTEM>DATE&TIME>TIME ZONE

[WEB] ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS>SYSTEM>DATE&TIME>TIME ZONE

Enable Geolocation = if “Yes”, the XT will detect automatically the correct time zone and the daylight

time value to be applied. If not, you should specify manually the time zone and the start/stop

dates to apply daylight saving adjustment. Default is “Yes”.

Figure 3: Enable Geolocation for Time Zone Automatic Settings

Release Notes for Avaya Scopia® XT Series What’s New | 7

Important

Geolocation requires Internet access.

Use HD1 input on XT7100 for content

presentation

In XT7100, you can now use HD1 input for content presentation (including audio capture) with

resolution up to 4K, while using HD2 for a live camera. This provides a further differentiator to the

flagship endpoint of XT Series, as Ultra HD content capture is mandatory for several vertical

applications as telemedicine.

To leverage this new feature and use HD1 for content, connect the first camera directly to the HD2

port of the XT71000 codec unit (yellow in the picture below) and connect the cable for serial

control and power to the horizontal connector (VISCA port, yellow).

Connect the PC or Mac with resolution up to 4K to the HD1 port of the codec (red) for presentation

content. An HDMI cable or adapter is needed.

Figure 4: HD Connections for 4K Content Input on XT7100 HD1.

To enable 4K presentation content, browse to

[GUI] CONFIGURE>ADVANCED>I/O CONNECTIONS>CAMERAS>HD1

[WEB]ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS>I/O CONNECTIONS>CAMERAS>HD1

Presentation Content: Yes/No*

Figure 5: Enabling Presentation Content on HD1

When Presentation Content is enabled on HD1, some changes are applied to the XT7100.

The default live camera will be automatically configured to HD2. The PTZ on the HD1

input will be disabled.

Release Notes for Avaya Scopia® XT Series What’s New | 8

Connect the PC or Mac with resolution up to 4K to the HD1 port of the codec for

presentation content. An HDMI cable or adapter is needed.

DVI Input is used for presentation only if no input is connected on HD1. Otherwise HD1

has the precedence for presentation. Presentation priority with 4k enabled is

HD1/DVI/Screen Link. You need to unplug both HD1 and DVI to have XT show Screen

Link content.

Please note that if you plug in DVI or HD1 input while Screen Link content is sent or

shown, it will be automatically stopped. If you connect HD1 input while DVI content is sent

or shown, it will be automatically stopped.

If a 4K monitor is connected to the XT (HD1 out connector), a 4K local presentation is

shown in the native resolution.

When in a call, 4K content is downscaled to 1080p or lower, according to the call

resolution and all the video flows (local, remote, presentation) are composed in the 4K

mosaic (when using a single monitor). 



If you use an Avaya XT Camera Switch, you need to connect it to HD2 in place of HD1.

Audio on HD2 is automatically disabled, while audio on HD1 is enabled. This means that

audio coming from the PC for a presentation via HD1 cable is also transmitted. You can

also choose if use the audio coming from HD1 only when associated to a presentation or

always (with a configuration option).

HD1 audio and HD2 audio cannot be enabled simultaneously. Enabling audio on HD1 or

HD2 will automatically disable the other HD audio.

Embedded MCU Cascading

It’s now possible using multiple XT units in order to create larger conferences, when the number of

required conference participants is higher than the number of Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) ports

available on a single XT with enabled MCU/SMB license (3 or 8, according to your license). The

maximum number of connected users is achieved when 8 remote slave MCU9 units are connected

to a central MCU9 master, achieving 8*8+1=65 connected users at the same conference. Mix of

several MCU4 and MCU9 units allows achieving a broad range of conference dimensions, with a

unique flexibility for the customer.

Release Notes for Avaya Scopia® XT Series What’s New | 10

This new features applies to all XT Series endpoints, including Scopia XT7100, XT5000, XT4300,

XT Executive 240, and XT5000 for IP Office. Furthermore, it works both for the MCU option (only

hardware terminals) and for the SMB option (mixed hardware terminals, PC clients, and mobile

clients). No further license is needed, apart the MCU or SMB. Customers already owning a SMB or

MCU option on their XT units will obtain access to this feature just upgrading to v9.1.

By technical point of view, the technique used is called “MCU cascading”and involves dialing from

one MCU conference to another MCU conference. Each called MCU is seen as an additional

participant on the local MCU conference. This technique limits the experience available to

participants because they can only see a part of the participants on one or another MCU.

The cascade occurs between a single master MCU and one or more slave MCUs, all supporting

cascading. Endpoints can be connected to either the master or slave MCUs. These “MCU to MCU”

connections use up a port on each slave MCU and one port per slave on the master MCU.

During a cascaded conference usually the video from the active speaker (participant who is

talking, or the last who talked) on a slave MCU is sent to the master MCU. On the master MCU,

the video from all slave MCUs and the directly attached endpoints are mixed in accordance with

the conference layout (usually a continuous presence layout).

This view is then sent back to each slave MCU, which then forwards this to its endpoints by re-

encoding it according to the capabilities of the connected endpoints.

If not configured, Master/Slave determination when a call is placed between two MCUs is random,

and does not depend on the direction of the call. As the Master/Slaves determination changes the

visualization of the meeting, sometimes it is better to configure the MCUs in advance.

For instance, if you need participants at rooms A, B and C to be always seen by everyone, while

others rooms can be seen only if they have questions, you can configure XT at room A as Master

MCU, connect B and C directly to MCU A and connect all other participants to other XTs (slaves),

connected to A.

To force an XT to be a master MCU, browse to:

[GUI] CONFIGURE>ADVANCED>CALLS>PREFERENCES>MCU>

[WEB]ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS>ADVANCED>CALLS>PREFERENCES>MCU>

Important

When using XT endpoints as Master or Slave MCU, the following limitations apply:

oAll participants at Slave (S) and Master (M) nodes can see the same

Continuous Presence video (CP). This requires two encoders on each

Slave MCU, one to propagate received CP to Slave’s eps and one to send

Slaves contribution for CP to Master. Slave shows locally/sends to all its

connection except Master the CP from Master
