QAPs allow MCS to automatically distribute tests to one or more city locations to validate connectivity problems using multiple test source locations.



- MCS: Correction. Satellites allocated to a group name which is deleted now correctly update when transferred back to group default
- MCS: Correction. Published test table now correctly reports satellite workorder test details when user modified
- MCS: Correction. Improved test diagnostic reporting and logging
- MCS: Correction. Satellite Advanced Settings, File Dir column now reports correctly
- MCS: Correction. Corrected variable name on RTT tab for HTML5 tests
- MCS: Correction. Database retention parameters are now correctly processed in accordance with the retention settings
- MCS: Correction. HTML browser errors on user created test pages resolved
- MCS: Deprecation. Java test options deprecated and removed from GUI main view
- MCS: New Feature. MCS now supports allocating a user name to a satellite group. This feature permits the user associated with the log-in to assign/unassign satellite work orders without the requirement for administrator privilege
- MCS: New Feature. JavaScript call-back variable to identify connection type as Wi-Fi or wired
- MCS: New Feature. MCS Access Series auto update firmware added for CT1, CT2 and CM1
- MCS: New Feature. Connection type added to SQL variables
- MCS: New Feature. Security Settings provides a new HTTP control to add custom headers for browser processing. Satellites servers need to be updated to support this feature
- MCS: New Feature. New management utilization metrics have been added to the System Status page
- MCS: New Feature. Improvements to database control files to better prevent corruption on MCS database relative index files when disk-space is exhausted
- MCS: New Feature. To improve assessment of test results, MCS tests now report if a proxy has been detected on the test path
- MCS: New Feature. To better monitor the health of remote satellites, the MCS Satellite status now includes the Satellite's processing uptime since boot
- MCS: New Feature. New Custom Report Template (CRT) feature provides a browser API for the submission of 3rd party metrics and result validation metrics (such as pass, fail conditions etc.)
- MCS: New Feature. Deleted Satellites are now reported on Satellites status page. Releasing a permanently deleted satellite will allow the satellite to reconnect
- MCS: New Feature. User definable headers for web browser on Security Settings page
- MCS: Performance. Improved performance of web template processing
- MCS: Performance. Improved performance when MCS satellite deployments exceeds 2000
- MCS: Performance. Improved performance of browser client server timeout management
- MCS: Performance. MCS performance improvements when processing satellite protocol requests
- MCS: Security. Improved security validation for MCS inbound URL requests to prohibit hack attacks from consuming resources
- MCS: Security. Browser UUID processing improved to enforce non predictable assignments
- MCS: Security. Secure HTTP sockets no longer supports TLS 1.0 (only TLS 1.1 and 1.2 supported). This change will restrict the use of older browser versions used for hack attacks
- Satellite: New Feature. Software based Satellites will now auto upgrade to newer versions on Linux platforms when MCS is upgraded. MAC and Windows platforms will follow in future MCS releases
- Test: Correction. MyCapacity test resolves overflow issue and now correctly calculates loss percentage for very high packet rates
- Test: Correction. Firewall timeout check for SIP validation improved
- Test: Correction. To improve language translation HTML5 tests now enforce the correct use of variable substitution in the test UI when published to a test "bin" configuration file
- Test: New Feature. New DHCP test validates available DHCP resources
- Test: New Feature. The VoIP test now provides and optional setting to invoke average jitter calculations compliant with RFC3550
