Other significant changes belonging the user interface. The release includes a redesigned and unified table view for several menus. Each table view is now sortable, searchable and filterable the same way. Depending on the row selection the new introduced Action Button, in the upper right corner, contains the related operations instead of an appearing and disappearing side pane.
Activate Smart Update on individual routers and icom Router Management ensures that these routers always run the latest icom OS firmware. Whenever a router detects a version difference to the latest available firmware, an automatic update is scheduled daily at 1:00 AM UTC.
