CH-2 Firmware Updates

Version 2.17c
  • Trends: Each trend point will now store 20,160 readings, double the previous amount.
  • Users: To conform with California Senate Bill 327, the 'admin' user is now forced to change their password from the default 'pass'. It must be 8+ characters with at least 1 number and 1 letter. It will only force the admin to change if their password is exactly the default "pass".
    These new password rules are also enforced in the user editing screen. It will not force a change to existing users unless their password is changed.
  • Graphics: Added support for arrow keys to move, and ctrl+arrow keys to resize gadgets in the graphic editor.
  • Graphics: Fixed a scaling problem that could shift gadgets between edit and view mode. This may cause some gadgets on existing graphics to move by 1 pixel from where they were originally placed.
  • Graphics: All but one of the dashboard gadgets can now be used on graphic screens. The only gadget not allowed is the 'Graphic Container', to prevent embedding graphics within graphics.
  • Graphics: The resize handles in edit mode have been reduced in size to allow for smaller label gadgets.
  • Network: Added the following commands to the "Server Functions\Enter Code" menu selection:
    TelnetOFF - Disable all access to Telnet.
    TelnetON - Enable access to Telnet.
    FTPOFF - Disable all access to FTP.
    FTPON - Enable access to FTP.

    The network settings screen does not indicate the current state. This will be added in a future version.
    For security reasons, it is recommended that Telnet and FTP be disabled when they are not in use.

  • Misc. browser compatibility and bug fixes.
