IMPORTANT NOTES

* Devices must be running firmware version of 15.5.2 or higher in order to upgrade to PADM20. If devices are running firmware versions 15.5.1 or earlier, they must be upgraded to 15.5.7 prior to the PADM20 upgrade. 

* This version of PowerAlert Device Manager (PADM20) applies the following security policies:
  - On initial login with any of the pre-configured Local Users – localadmin, localmanager or localguest – PADM will force the user to change the default password.
  - The default passwords localadmin, localmanager and localguest are restricted and cannot be used for any user.
  - The preconfigured SNMPv1 and SNMPv2 users – public and tripplite, respectively – are disabled, by default. Note that PowerAlert Network Management System (PANMS) and PowerAlert Network Shutdown Agent (PANSA) will not discover devices until SNMPv2 user tripplite is enabled.
  - The default password of the pre-configured SNMPv3 users – localadmin, localmanager or localguest – must be changed prior to use. Note that the new entry will be saved as both the authentication and privacy passwords.
  - If the Administrator (with new password) navigates to Configuration > Security > User and saves any edits on the page, a warning message will appear about changing the Password and Auth Password for localmanager and localguest.

* Beginning with PADM version 20.0.0, LX Platform devices do not include a textual menu interface. The menu interface is superseded by a full-featured Command Line Interface (CLI), capable of the same functionality as the web interface. A maximum of two concurrent CLI sessions are supported. If a third session is attempted, a warning message will appear that the session limit has been reached. The exception to this is if the third session is logging in with the default localdmin/localadmin credentials in which case the oldest active session will be terminated.  

* With firmware version 15.x.x, certain device protocols reported the device temperature under the incorrect label, "upsBatteryTemperature.0". In PADM20 this was corrected; the new labels are " tlpUpsDeviceTemperatureC" and "tlpUpsDeviceTemperatureF".

* When performing a "Reset to Factory Defaults" using Command Line Interface (CLI), the observed LED sequence on the LX card/device differs from the one observed when executing the Reset from the web interface or long-pressing the Reset button. In all cases, the outcome of the Reset is identical.

* Beginning with PADM version 20.0.0, the following features available in PADM version 15.5.x are not supported:  HTTP/HTTPS Contacts, EnergyWise, IP filtering (Access Control ) of inbound SNMPv3 users. 

* Use PowerAlert Element Manager (PAEM) to perform Mass Firmware update on LX Platform Devices running firmware version 15.5.1 or later. See PAEM Release Notes for more information.

* If UPS systems operating on 15.5.x are being monitored by PowerAlert Network Shutdown Agent (PANSA) software, upgrading those devices to PADM20 will require them to be deleted and then then re-discovered in PANSA.

After updating a device to PADM20, the initial launch of CLI make take a longer time than with 15.5.x. Please be patient. [ALL]
Temperature set points entered via SNMP (tlpCoolingSetPointDegF) are subject to rounding during conversion and so may not exactly match values entered using GUI or CLI [9002]
 A pin Reset does not automatically close web and CLI sessions even though the sessions become inactive; a screen refresh is required to return the user to the login screen [ALL]
Watchdog is incorrectly reported (as supported) in Device details [5018]

After deleting then creating load groups, the Load selection page may display a text artifact in the load Name [3015 5018]
In CLI, setting the frequency of a scheduled action to 'once' will automatically- and without informing the user – reset (overwrite) the recurrence count to one (1).
In SNMP, the tlpUpsConfigBypassLowerLimitPercent variable can be set to a value outside the allowed range [4007]
For Scheduled Actions, the "run-on" parameter will automatically update to a different value if it is set too close to current time [3015 5018]
In CL,  Add/Edit AutoProbe, there is no blocking alert for a description exceeding 128 characters [PADM-21012]
In SNMP, the tlpUpsConfigHigh/LowVoltageTransfer OIDs cannot be set; use CLI or GUI to set these parameters [3027]

If two or three E2 sensors are exchanged on an active device (e.g. disconnect two E2MTs and connect two E2MTDOs), the "Device Properties" page will not immediately reflect the change; eventually it will. A reboot of PowerAlert will immediately resolve the issue.
With certain Cooling products, setpoint is occassionally saved as a different value
SFTP upload of 2 tar files to /upgrade folder results in no files appearing in the folder

If a log export is performed to an invalid email address, the progress indication box may get stuck after reaching 100%; perform a screen refresh to recover [3015 5018]
In CLI, an action can be enables with no added contacts; GUI requires a contact when enabling an action. [4008]
Standard external battery packs that are added in the Batteries page are numerically represented on the Device Details page under "Number of External Batteries". Smart external battery packs can be added in the Batteries page, but are not be accounted for in "Number of External Batteries".
When Ramp/Shed is being edited in GUI, attempting to make edits via SNMP (tlpUpsControlRamp/Shed) will incorrectly return "Set Succeeded" [4008]
In CLI, if the load ramp state is changed, but not applied, Begin Ramp and Shed in GUI should be disabled [4008]
In CLI, the word Log is misspelled in the autoexport man page
Threshold tolerances are different between GUI, CLI, and the system
After adding an external battery pack via the "Batteries" page, the displayed runtime does not update to reflect the new configuration. Navigate away from, then back to the page in order to display the updated runtime.
In CLI, performing the 'restore' command with no backup file present will display an unformatted message [4008]
After changing the Input Frequency in GUI, it may take a very long time for the change to be reflected in SNMP (tlpUpsInputPhaseFrequency) [4007]
For certain UPS models, the Events page may display duplicate or similar-sounding events. For example “Emergency Power Off Active” may appear alongside “Emergency Power Off”. This occurs because the event displayed on the LCD of the device does not exactly match the event reported to PADM. As a result, if the event occurs, it will be recorded in the PADM Event Log under each name.
Battery Replacement Dates are overwritten during a Restore action [4006]
In GUI, Events, the "Auto Acknowledge/Logging" loading process doesn't work
Active alerts related to sensors get cleared if the sensor is disconnected [3015]

Events triggered via HID (ERRCODE) are not mapped to PADM20 Events [4008]
When Seconds on Battery > Timed Shutdown Status is enabled, a power event will trigger a fault condition instead of executing the timed shutdown. [4008]
Application Log: Minimum Severity Setting change requires reboot of the card for change to take effect.
LCD orientation and brightness do not return to default values when a Reset to Factory Default is performed [5017]
Inconsistent behavior between CLI and GUI for SNMP-User IP Filter 
IPv6 Filter accepts an input of a mask in the form of ffff: but internally consider it as a wrong IPv6
IPv6 Filter for local-user not filtering correctly
In CLI, changing the Data Log interval does not generate a Purge Warning Message, as it does in the web interface [9003]
During a firmware upgrade using CLI, the screen may display 'failed to add accounting log record' though the upgrade is successful [4004]
At the start of a firmware upgrade using CLI, the Accounting Log displays the loopback address as the origin. [5022]
The polling interval difference between SNMP and CLI is significantly greater in PADM20 than it was with 15.5.x. [4006]

Log-Missing data log data when a input voltage variable is displayed as unknown in UI
In GUI, the high and low transfer voltage ranges are incorrect [4004]
When setting a false value for TruthValue OIDs during an SNMP SET, PADM20 should not respond with an error [4008]
