2006-11-22: AFT A108dm PCI Express Firmware v28 Update
All AFT A108dm PCI Express cards must be upgraded to Firmware V28.
Due to a PCI Express bug in the firmware during heavy operation its possible to experience system instability. Minimum drivers version for A108dm cards is beta12-2.3.4. If you are running older driver, please upgrade to at lease beta12-2.3.4. More Info...
2006-11-01: AFT A102dm Card wth Onboard Echo Canceller
The AFT A102dm card supports Dual T1/E1 ports with on board hardware 1024 tap echo canceler. Supported from beta11-2.3.4 Release.
2006-10-06: A104d Hardware Change (in effect NOW)
From Oct 2006 the A104d cards will contain a hardware change that breaks backward driver compatibility. The echo canceler on new A104d cards will only work with the latest BETA Release: beta9-2.3.4 or higher. The beta9-2.3.4 and above drivers do support all older versions of the cards.
If your project depends on the older drivers (pre beta9-2.3.4) and upgrading is not an option, please request the A104d with 128 Echo Canceler when purchasing a new A104d card from our sales department. Also indicate that you are running a release older than beta9-2.3.4!
Note this hardware change only affects the A104d cards WITH Hardware Echo Canceler.
2006-10-06: Upcoming AFT Hardware Changes: Dallas/Maxim Framers
Sangoma is moving towards the use of Dallas/Maxim T1/E1 framers. The AFT series of cards: A102,A104u,A104c,A104sh and A104d are currently going through a hardware re-design. Within six months the old A102,A104u,A104c,A104sh and A104d hardware will be discontinued, and replaced with new A102m, A104m and A104dm. (Note m indicates Maxim framer)
The new hardware will look and behave exactly the same as older hardware, without any API or functionality changes. However, old drivers will not be able support the new A102m,A104m,A104dm hardware.
Note: The new A108m and A108dm cards are already using Dallas Framers.
