the portfolio.
New passive mode on the on-screen display

display has an updated look and feel to align with the rest
of the portfolio.

TC7.3.0-TC7.3.2: Users are notified when snapshots
are taken
Both the on screen display and web interface
have warnings when the snapshots feature is
enabled. A notification pops up on the on screen display,
when a snapshot is taken. On the web interface the
administrator is warned that this notice will show up when
the feature is enabled.
The system also logs when snapshots are taken, and which
IP address the request was initiated from.
It is possible to allow and disallow snapshots remotely, but
not to observe the room without the users being notified.
TC7.3.3 and later: Remote Monitoring option key
Due to security reasons, taking snapshots of local and
far end video streams from the call control page on the
system's web interface now requires an option key to be
installed on the endpoint.
The remote monitoring option key can only be added to
systems that are upgraded to TC7.3.3 and above. Remote
monitoring is enabled once the option key is added, and
the system rebooted. Once this feature is enabled, the only
way to disable it is to remove the option key.
This feature does not display warning messages or
indicators on the local system that someone is monitoring
the room. Please provide adequate notice to users of the
system that the system administrator may monitor and
control the camera and screen.
TC7.3.4 and later: Setting an administrator password
The xCommand SystemUnit AdminPassword Set command
will now change the password of the authenticated user
(granted it has administrator rights).
In previous software versions, this command changed the
password for the default user account (admin).
