1.About this firmware
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This firmware is intended for those who are using the VX-3000F firmware
of the version earlier than 5.10 and want to upgrade it.


2. Update history
----------------------------------------------------------------------
-Ver.5.10
The added 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
*Pre zone selections for Emergency EV message
*Selectable for PAGING or PAGING&BGM broadcasting during AC-power OFF
*EV message 8 words binding 
*Individual zone assignment for TALK key
*Standby AMP settings when a DS strides some areas
*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
*Speaker line fault mis-detections in the timing of broadcasting start/interrupt
*EVAC reset sometimes didn't work when 2 EVAC broadcasting patterns are activated by one event.
*Remote Protocol : Port number was not replied properly when network audio sources are assigned as BGM.
*Network establishment failure between frames. 


-Ver.2.02
The following function was improved:
*The power-up sequence of the amplifier


-Ver.2.00
The added functions are as follows:
*Enhancements for PA functions
*Enhancements for EVAC functions
*Enhancements for Fault detect functions
*Remote Protocol
*Network Audio Protocol

The following functions were improved:
*General broadcast when RM's switch is ON/OFF again and again.
*When fuse is removed sometime the AMP failure is not indicated.
*The time of speaker impedance measurement
