Introduction
1 Introduction
This release note describes the features in Release 1.6 of the Acano Manager software, and
lists the fixes and known issues in the AM1.6 release.
If you are deploying Acano Manager for the first time, follow the Acano Manager Installation
Guide for instructions on how to install and configure Acano Manager.
If you are upgrading, instructions are provided in this release note.
CAUTIONS:
AM1.6 requires Release 1.6.10 or later of the Acano solution (an Acano Server, a virtual
deployment or a combined deployment). Do not use it with an earlier version.
It is essential that you back up the database before upgrading.
2 Features in AM1.6
2.1 Cluster Support
Acano Manager has been updated to support multiple Acano servers running in clustered mode
(R1.6.10 and later). This means that Acano Manager will correctly group together participants
and calls that span multiple Call Bridges. Acano Manager will also be able to send commands to
the correct Call Bridge to retrieve data from, or perform actions on, specific distributed callLegs.

3 Notes on Installing Acano Manager 1.6
CAUTIONS:
If you are upgrading from an earlier version of the Acano Manager, you must backup the
database and then uninstall that version as described later in this document before following
the procedure on this section.
3.1 New Installation
Follow the instructions in the Acano Manager Installation Guide, being sure to check that all the
prerequisites mentioned there are in place before you start the procedure itself.
3.2 Upgrading to AM1.6 from AM1.1.x
CAUTION: When upgrading from an earlier version, you will lose any changes made to the
default email templates unless you complete step 1 below.
1. To keep any email customizations that you made, copy the contents of EmailTemplates
folder (a subfolder of the AcanoManager service folder) to another server.
2. For security and data integrity perform a SQL database backup (see one of the following):

2012 : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms187510%28v=sql.110%29.aspx

2008 R2 : http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/ms187510%28v=sql.105%29.aspx
3. Store the backup on another system somewhere safe.
4. Stop the Acano Manager Service (from Windows Services).
5. Uninstall the existing software.
a. In the Control Panel, go to the Add/remove programs function.
In the list you see two entries: Acano Manger Service & Acano Manager Interface.
b. Uninstall the Acano Manager Interface first.
c.
Uninstall the Acano Manager Service second. This removes the software.
6. Install the new Acano Service first (right-click and select Run as administrator), following
the wizard prompts and accepting the defaults.
When upgrading, there is a pause while the prerequisites are checked and the SQL
database found.
7. Install the new Acano Interface (right-click and select Run as Administrator), following the
wizard prompts and accepting the defaults.
The configuration files are updated.
8. Start the Acano Manager Service.
9. Check that you can still monitor and edit calls using the Calls in Progress page.

Notes on Installing Acano Manager 1.6
10. Copy the contents of the backed-up EmailTemplates folder back to restore your email
customizations.
11. If you are using Call Bridge clustering perform these steps now:
a. Change the CDR listener port for each Call Bridge so that each Call Bridge has a unique
CDR listener port.
b. Using the API perform a GET method on the /callbridges node of one of the clustered
Call Bridges to determine the name of all the Call Bridges.
c.
Modify the current MCU in Acano Manager to have the correct name (MCU names must
match the Call Bridge name exactly).
d. Set up the other Call Bridges as MCUs in Acano Manager one at a time, using the name
returned by the API call as the MCU name and the CDR listener port configured above.
3.3 Rolling Back to AM1.1.x
In the unlikely event that you need to roll back to AM1.1.x follow these steps.
CAUTION: You will lose all the data for period in-between the upgrade and rollback.
1. Un-install Acano Manager 1.6.
2. Re-install Acano Manager 1.1.

Reference
Issue
Summary
44967
Scheduling a recurring call on a coSpace
resulted in a call sequence in which the first
call was correct but the remainder had
incorrect properties (e.g. URI).
This is fixed in AM1.6
44995
When expanding a call’s details on the Call
List page, the panel displayed the call’s ID
(Acano Manager’s internal identifier for the
call). This was confusing for users who
interpreted it as the Call Identifier which is
used on an Acano Call Bridge to route
participants into the call.
The call’s ID is no longer displayed and this
issue is fixed in AM1.6
45014,
45107,
45115
Directory Services Configuration. Attribute
Mapping could fail in the following situations:
the mapping contained multiple attributes (e.g.,
$givenName$.$sn$), the replacement string in
a pipe command was the empty string(“//”), or
when multiple pipe commands were defined.
These mappings now work and the issue is
fixed in AM1.6
45005
If a user booked a call in Outlook, added 2
endpoints (e.g., Paris and London) and then
updated the call using Outlook to remove
London and add New York, London was
removed but New York was not added.
This is fixed in AM1.6
45007
In Acano Server 1.2 the ldapSync object is
removed as soon as it has completed. If Acano
Manager could not find the ldapSync object, it
was incorrectly timing out and reporting that
the LDAP sync had failed.
This is fixed in AM1.6
45026
In earlier versions of Acano Manager when
columns in tables had been sorted (e.g.,
sorting coSpace names in the coSpace list
page), users might have experienced a page
error and seen the message “an error has
occurred”.
This is fixed in AM1.6
45029
Directory Services Configuration. LDAP
Attribute Mapping. Specifying an Attribute
other than $samAccountName$ for
“UserName” (e.g., $cn$) resulted in the LDAP
Import failing when connected to a Microsoft
Active Directory Server.
This is fixed in AM1.6
45030
When scheduling a number of calls to use a
CoSpace, if the calls were not scheduled in the
sequence they were due to execute, the first
call starting resulted in the second call being
deleted. For example, 2 calls A and B. A starts
at 2PM and B starts at 4PM. If B was
scheduled first, call B would be deleted when
This is fixed in AM1.6 and both calls run

call A started at 2PM.
45049
In certain circumstances, Microsoft Lync
Instant Messages could result in an additional
participant being displayed in the Calls In
Progress page.
This is fixed in AM1.6
45050
Acano Manager uses the callLeg GUID to
delete participants; but was not disconnecting
participants on a distributed Call Bridge call.
This is fixed in AM1.6
45051
When running on a non-clustered 1.6 Call
Bridge, Acano Manager did not associate
point-to-point calls with the correct Customer
(Tenant).
This is fixed in AM1.6
45071
If a user requested call data records to be
exported when the coSpace had been inactive
for more than 3 days, the export would fail and
the user interface would display the message
“An error has occurred…”
This is fixed in AM1.6
45073
In certain circumstances, Microsoft Lync
Content Sharing could result in an additional
participant being displayed in the Calls In
Progress page.
This is fixed in AM1.6
45005
Outlook plugin update not working properly
This is fixed in Acano Manager AM1.6
45008
LDAP Sync is timing out for the Acano server
running X1.2
This is fixed in Acano Manager AM1.6
34122
Crash on fetching large amounts of MCU port
usage data on systems with very large sets of
call usage data
This was a memory issue and is fixed in Acano
Manager AM1.6
34315
MCU port usage execution time exceeded 90
seconds and page timed out with large
volumes of data when requesting a large data
rang.
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44753
Didn’t generate call.Started and call.Stopped
emails for calls dynamically created on
coSpaces.
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44779
When scheduling a call via Outlook, Acano
Manager did not set the call's timezone to that
of the owning user
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44790
Clicking View button on MCU List page
displayed all calls in the Calls In Progress
page rather than only those on the selected
MCU
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44792
The MCU Port Usage page could display
inconsistent port usage when multiple MCUs
had been configured (when hosting multiple
legacy MCUs)
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44799
The Directory Service configuration page only
allowed 4 digit ports to be defined. This has
been extended to allowed 5 digits.
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44867
Outlook error when trying to add a group email
(distribution list) to the meeting
This issue is fixed in AM1.6

display a meaningful error message and a
recommended action
This issue is fixed in AM1.6

44869
Non-Acano Manager-created coSpaces not
showing in the Calls In Progress page
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44877

This was caused by activity from a deleted
MCU being counted and the issue is fixed in
AM1.6
44880
The coSpace autocomplete filter did not detect
and display coSpaces with alphabetic URIs.
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44881
Acano Manager 1.1 did not display nonEnglish characters
This has been fixed in AM1.6
44883
Allow logged in admin/operator level users to
specify a user in the coSpace List so that the

and coSpace members for the user
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44886
The maximum number of participants allowed
in a meeting cannot be extended for an Acano
server-hosted meeting that is active

into consideration
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44911
Catch empty user name on AD/LDAP import
Additional logging has been added and this
issue is fixed in AM1.6
44912
When creating a new coSpace and defining
the “All Equal” video layout, the coSpace was
created but participants didn’t see the “All
Equal” layout.
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44914
In the Outlook plugin, if you leave the cursor in
either Subject or Location when you book the
call you see a warning message
The message is no longer displayed and this
issue is fixed in AM1.6
44915
Typo in warning message of "befor" when you
try to book a call via the Outlook plugin and it
is not configured
The typo is corrected and this issue is fixed in
AM1.6
44926
If a user that had not been created via Active
Directory/ LDAP tried to create a coSpace,
Acano Manager displayed a warning message
to the user after it tried to add the non-Acano
User as a member of the coSpace.
Now in AM1.6, if a non-AD/LDAP created user
creates a coSpace, Acano Manager does not
set the user as a coSpace member and this
issue is fixed in AM1.6
44928
Allow the administrator to choose whether
Acano Manager or Acano Server creates
coSpaces during the Active Directory/LDAP

When importing large numbers of users from
AD/LDAP, Acano Manager’s Importer could
prematurely resume processing before the
SYNC process had completed on the Acano
server.
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44945
If an AD/LDAP configuration had been defined
for a system-wide customer (i.e. customer not
set), Acano Manager would delete all other
users on other customers.
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44952
AD/LDAP import failed to set CallId when
CallId was longer than 9 characters.
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44953
During the AD/LDAP import process, users
with non-English characters in their names
would not be correctly identified within Acano
Manager and were deleted from Acano
Manager. They would then be recreated but
any additional coSpace member associations
would have been lost.
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44965
Long running calls created by users dialing
into a CoSpace not created by Acano Manager
were not automatically extended and were

coSpace, the 2nd and subsequent call
instances did not have the coSpace’s URI (and
other defaults).

on the Acano server from 25 seconds to 5
minutes.
This issue is fixed in AM1.6
44786
Acano Manager was incorrectly sending an
empty tenant GUID when creating LDAP
objects on the Acano server.
Acano Manager now does not send a tenant
GUID when creating LDAP objects that do not
have a tenant. This is fixed in Acano Manager
AM1.6
44785
Acano Manager-created coSpaces were not
created with a tenant GUID.
In this version Acano Manager creates
coSpaces with the appropriate tenant GUID if
the coSpace belongs to a tenant/customer. This
is fixed in Acano Manager AM1.6
34588
AcanoMcu did not accept an apostrophe (')
characater as valid in an alpha URI (optional
config key 'AcanoAlphaUriRegex' added)
We now support apostrophes as valid
characters in alphanumeric URIs by default.
This behavior can be modified by adding a

Call Quality Records
We are unable to generate full call quality records at the
moment. However you can get call quality records for selected
participants from the Calls in Progress page by clicking on the
Statistics icon (three dots). (This turns sampling on.) Drilling
down into the statistics data shows the data being received. This
data is written to the database and will be available in call quality
reports.
44711
User accounts cannot log in
when there is no Acano
server online
If you log in with a user level account when no Acano servers
are online, you see "There are no online Acano MCUs
configured for this system" as an unhandled asp.net exception.
Administrator and Operator users do not see this message. This
will be added in a maintenance release but currently the
workaround is to ask an administrator should set the Acano
server online.
The following are known limitations in Acano Manager AM1.6:

There are certain conditions under which coSpaces/calls created when Acano Manager is
not running will not be detected when Acano Manager starts

Acano Manager does not obtain dial-in information from the Acano Server

The scripts used to inject text into Outlook calendar appointments/email templates needs
manually editing to allow Microsoft Lync click to call (the domain needs to be added because
AM1.6 does not get this information from the Acano Server). Please contact your reseller for
details of how to do this
Known issues in AM1.6:

On large databases (in the order of 1.6m records), the MCU port usage page has problems
and the page may time out after 90 seconds

There is an ambiguity on the coSpace List page when signed in as an Administrator. The All
button infers that the administrator will be able to see all coSpaces by clicking this button.
This is not the case; the Go button finds all coSpaces on the Acano Server whose name
matches the filter value. “*” (or wildcard) is not supported.

coSpaces will be deleted and recreated when migrating the AD import from the Acano
Server UI to Acano Manager.

In certain cases coSpaces do not show up in the coSpace list when logged in as a user.
