Known Issues and Recommendations

This section provides the latest information on known issues and recommendations associated with this product.

When installing the Collaboration Application Server installation package (IP) for the first time, the installation might not be successful. To work around this issue, install the IP again. (GVG-438)

The encryption scheme from /opt/zenon/sys/supervisor_system.txt can only handle lowercase strings. You must therefore only use a lowercase password when creating the database for MySQL. (GVG-222)

If you are running Genesys Video Gateway within an internal network, using Internet Explorer to access the site might bring up the Browser out of date page. The reason this happens is because, when IE detects an internal site, it attempts to load the page as Compatibility mode, and in the user-agent check the IE version becomes 7.

To work around this issue, you can either disable the Compatibility mode or add the site to the list of Trusted sites. To disable Compatibility mode, press F12, and then in the Browser mode, ensure that Compatibility mode is not selected. (GVG-127)
