Release Notes for Avaya Scopia® XT Series What’s New | 6
What’s New
This section describes some enhancements and fixings available in this software version 9.1.0.37
since previous Avaya XT Series GA version, v9.0.2.44.
Time Settings
In this release, SNTP Servers returned by DHCP (DHCP Option 42, NTP/SNTP RFC 1769), if
available, are preferred to some public Internet Servers for automatic configuration.
[GUI] CONFIGURE>ADVANCED>SYSTEM>DATE&TIME>GENERAL
[WEB] ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS>SYSTEM>DATE&TIME>GENERAL
Internet Time = Yes
oUse Default NTP Servers: if “Yes”, XT will use the SNTP servers returned by DHCP, if
available; otherwise it will use a list of well-known public servers on the Internet. If
“No”, XT will connect to the manually specified Server 1 or Server 2.
Figure 2: Internet Time, Use Default NTP Servers
In this release, it is also possible to enable geolocation to automatically discover XT time zone.
This allows also the system to apply automatically daylight saving settings, without configuration.
[GUI] CONFIGURE>ADVANCED>SYSTEM>DATE&TIME>TIME ZONE
[WEB] ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS>SYSTEM>DATE&TIME>TIME ZONE
Enable Geolocation = if “Yes”, the XT will detect automatically the correct time zone and the daylight
time value to be applied. If not, you should specify manually the time zone and the start/stop
dates to apply daylight saving adjustment. Default is “Yes”.
Figure 3: Enable Geolocation for Time Zone Automatic Settings

Release Notes for Avaya Scopia® XT Series What’s New | 7
Important
Geolocation requires Internet access.
Use HD1 input on XT7100 for content
presentation
In XT7100, you can now use HD1 input for content presentation (including audio capture) with
resolution up to 4K, while using HD2 for a live camera. This provides a further differentiator to the
flagship endpoint of XT Series, as Ultra HD content capture is mandatory for several vertical
applications as telemedicine.
To leverage this new feature and use HD1 for content, connect the first camera directly to the HD2
port of the XT71000 codec unit (yellow in the picture below) and connect the cable for serial
control and power to the horizontal connector (VISCA port, yellow).
Connect the PC or Mac with resolution up to 4K to the HD1 port of the codec (red) for presentation
content. An HDMI cable or adapter is needed.
Figure 4: HD Connections for 4K Content Input on XT7100 HD1.
To enable 4K presentation content, browse to
[GUI] CONFIGURE>ADVANCED>I/O CONNECTIONS>CAMERAS>HD1
[WEB]ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS>I/O CONNECTIONS>CAMERAS>HD1
Presentation Content: Yes/No*
Figure 5: Enabling Presentation Content on HD1
When Presentation Content is enabled on HD1, some changes are applied to the XT7100.
The default live camera will be automatically configured to HD2. The PTZ on the HD1
input will be disabled.

Release Notes for Avaya Scopia® XT Series What’s New | 8
Connect the PC or Mac with resolution up to 4K to the HD1 port of the codec for
presentation content. An HDMI cable or adapter is needed.
DVI Input is used for presentation only if no input is connected on HD1. Otherwise HD1
has the precedence for presentation. Presentation priority with 4k enabled is
HD1/DVI/Screen Link. You need to unplug both HD1 and DVI to have XT show Screen
Link content.
Please note that if you plug in DVI or HD1 input while Screen Link content is sent or
shown, it will be automatically stopped. If you connect HD1 input while DVI content is sent
or shown, it will be automatically stopped.
If a 4K monitor is connected to the XT (HD1 out connector), a 4K local presentation is
shown in the native resolution.
When in a call, 4K content is downscaled to 1080p or lower, according to the call
resolution and all the video flows (local, remote, presentation) are composed in the 4K
mosaic (when using a single monitor). 

If you use an Avaya XT Camera Switch, you need to connect it to HD2 in place of HD1.
Audio on HD2 is automatically disabled, while audio on HD1 is enabled. This means that
audio coming from the PC for a presentation via HD1 cable is also transmitted. You can
also choose if use the audio coming from HD1 only when associated to a presentation or
always (with a configuration option).
HD1 audio and HD2 audio cannot be enabled simultaneously. Enabling audio on HD1 or
HD2 will automatically disable the other HD audio.

Embedded MCU Cascading
It’s now possible using multiple XT units in order to create larger conferences, when the number of
required conference participants is higher than the number of Multipoint Control Unit (MCU) ports
available on a single XT with enabled MCU/SMB license (3 or 8, according to your license). The
maximum number of connected users is achieved when 8 remote slave MCU9 units are connected
to a central MCU9 master, achieving 8*8+1=65 connected users at the same conference. Mix of
several MCU4 and MCU9 units allows achieving a broad range of conference dimensions, with a
unique flexibility for the customer.

Release Notes for Avaya Scopia® XT Series What’s New | 10
This new features applies to all XT Series endpoints, including Scopia XT7100, XT5000, XT4300,
XT Executive 240, and XT5000 for IP Office. Furthermore, it works both for the MCU option (only
hardware terminals) and for the SMB option (mixed hardware terminals, PC clients, and mobile
clients). No further license is needed, apart the MCU or SMB. Customers already owning a SMB or
MCU option on their XT units will obtain access to this feature just upgrading to v9.1.
By technical point of view, the technique used is called “MCU cascading”and involves dialing from
one MCU conference to another MCU conference. Each called MCU is seen as an additional
participant on the local MCU conference. This technique limits the experience available to
participants because they can only see a part of the participants on one or another MCU.
The cascade occurs between a single master MCU and one or more slave MCUs, all supporting
cascading. Endpoints can be connected to either the master or slave MCUs. These “MCU to MCU”
connections use up a port on each slave MCU and one port per slave on the master MCU.
During a cascaded conference usually the video from the active speaker (participant who is
talking, or the last who talked) on a slave MCU is sent to the master MCU. On the master MCU,
the video from all slave MCUs and the directly attached endpoints are mixed in accordance with
the conference layout (usually a continuous presence layout).
This view is then sent back to each slave MCU, which then forwards this to its endpoints by re-
encoding it according to the capabilities of the connected endpoints.
If not configured, Master/Slave determination when a call is placed between two MCUs is random,
and does not depend on the direction of the call. As the Master/Slaves determination changes the
visualization of the meeting, sometimes it is better to configure the MCUs in advance.
For instance, if you need participants at rooms A, B and C to be always seen by everyone, while
others rooms can be seen only if they have questions, you can configure XT at room A as Master
MCU, connect B and C directly to MCU A and connect all other participants to other XTs (slaves),
connected to A.
To force an XT to be a master MCU, browse to:
[GUI] CONFIGURE>ADVANCED>CALLS>PREFERENCES>MCU>
[WEB]ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS>ADVANCED>CALLS>PREFERENCES>MCU>
Important
When using XT endpoints as Master or Slave MCU, the following limitations apply:
oAll participants at Slave (S) and Master (M) nodes can see the same
Continuous Presence video (CP). This requires two encoders on each
Slave MCU, one to propagate received CP to Slave’s eps and one to send
Slaves contribution for CP to Master. Slave shows locally/sends to all its
connection except Master the CP from Master

© 2017 Avaya Inc. All rights reserved
Release Notes for Avaya Scopia® XT Series What’s New | 11
oSlaves MCU implemented by XT Endpoints cannot be cascaded.
Cascading calls will be rejected by XT
oMax 65 participants in the meeting can be supported when using only XT
with embedded MCUs (one on the master MCU plus 1+7 for each slave
MCU connected to the master at first level).
oOnly XT release 9.1 can be used for Slave MCUs (and for Master in SIP
calls.)
oThe Slave MCU locally shows and sends to its endpoints max 480p from
the Master.
oWhen XT is participating to an Equinox/Scopia Meeting:
Additional incoming calls are rejected
Outgoing call are forwarded to Equinox Meeting if XT can add
calls
oTwo XT configured as Master MCU will not be able to connect. Do not
change default MCU Role configuration unless you are planning a meeting
in advance. Remember to restore default MCU Role configuration to
Slave after that meeting. The MCU Master role, if active, will be visible in
the XT home page via Web.
Audio Calls over the Limits of the MCU 4 license
In this release it is possible to place additional audio calls (up to 5), even if the XT has only the
basic embedded MCU license, supporting 3 remote video calls plus the local unit (total 4
connected users).
This new features applies to all XT Series endpoints, including Scopia XT7100, XT5000, XT4300,
and XT Executive 240. Furthermore, it works both for the MCU option (only hardware terminals)
and for the SMB option. Customers already owning a SMB4 or MCU4 option on their XT units will
obtain access to this feature just upgrading to v9.1.
Once the maximum number of video calls is reached, additional calls will be accepted or placed in
audio-only mode.
Please note that once the call it accepted or placed in audio only, it will not promoted to audio-
video when another video call disconnects.
Important
License limitation is applied to audio-video calls (license limited calls, 3 or 8).
Remaining calls will be audio up to the max capacity (8).
Overall limitations for encrypted calls and recorded calls are applied also to audio
calls (max 3 encrypted calls and max 6 recorded calls).
When limiting the number of calls in MCU, you are limiting the total number of calls
(audio + video), so since this release the limited number of calls you can chose
ranges from 7 to 2 terminals, despite the MCU license.
An indication about call protocol and type has been added when selecting an item in
the recent call list. Please note that if the call was placed as audio only, it will be
recalled as audio only.

Release Notes for Avaya Scopia® XT Series What’s New | 12
Extend Equinox Meeting Time
If XT is participating in an Equinox meeting where information about the meeting and the
participants are available, when this meeting is going to terminate XT will alert the local user.
The user can decide to ignore the termination warning and have the meeting terminate in 5
minutes or snooze the duration for half an hour.
SIP Enhancements
Opus Audio Codec
Opus is a highly versatile audio codec, standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force
(IETF) as RFC 6716. Opus can handle a wide range of audio applications, including Voice over IP,
videoconferencing, in-game chat, and even remote live music performances. It can scale from low
bitrate narrowband speech to very high quality stereo music. Opus is now available as an audio
codec (mono or stereo) in Sip calls.
Supported features are:
Bitrates from 8 kb/s to 64 kb/s
Sampling rates from 8 kHz (narrowband) to 48 kHz (full band)
Audio bandwidth from narrow band to full band (full band is available only in point to point
calls)
Support for mono and stereo

Miscellaneous
Improved video interoperability with Equinox Clients when XT is acting as MCU.
Improved SIP outgoing-call management when registered to Avaya AURA: if the remote answers
with an SDP where all media lines (except for the audio one) are zeroed, the call is considered
audio-only.
USB Recording Enhancements
Watermarks and Digital Signature
In this release you can stamp a video recorded in an USB storage plugged into the XT with the
date and time (updated each second) when they were recorded. You can also add an additional
label to the date and time stamped over the video (watermarks), to easily recognize the recording
context.
To assure an accurate recorded time, an additional clock icon is also displayed and stamped when
the XT is using Internet Time (NTP) for time synchronization.
To enable video stamping of date, time and optional label, browse to
[GUI] CONFIGURE>ADVANCED>UTILITIES>RECORDING>GENERAL
[WEB]ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS>UTILITIES>RECORDING>GENERAL
Date & Time: Yes/No*. You can enable date and time stamping over the recorded video. Time is
updated each second. Date and time are formatted according to the XT settings for country and
12/24h format. To assure date and time accuracy, a clock icon is displayed in the stamped date
and time if Internet Time is enabled (see Picture “Recorded video with Label and Date/Time
Stamping”). To enable Internet Time, browse to Configure>Advanced>System>Date &
Time>General and set Internet Time to Yes
Label: You can define an optional label to impress on the recording video
Digital Signature: Yes/No*. You can activate a digital signature of the recorded video. Once a video
is recorded, a hash of the video file is generated and signed using a certificate uploaded by the
customer; a p7m file is produced together with the video file. The p7m file contains the signed
hash and can be used to verify that the video has not been altered or tampered with. See next
section for details.

Important
“Recording Date &Time Stamping”(and “Recording Digital Signature” explained in
next section) is available only for locally recorded files (USB storage).
Recording Digital Signature
A digital signature is a mathematical scheme for demonstrating the authenticity of digital messages
or data. A valid digital signature gives a recipient reason to believe that the data was created by a
known entity (authentication), that the entity cannot deny having signed the data (non-repudiation),
and that the data was not altered (integrity).
A digital signature is the digital equivalent of a handwritten signature or stamped seal, but offering
far more inherent security, a digital signature is commonly used when it is important to detect
forgery or tampering.
As an electronic analogue of a written signature, a digital signature provides assurance that:
claimed signatory signed the information, and
information was not modified after signature generation.
Digital signatures are based on public key cryptography, also known as asymmetric cryptography.
CAdES (CMS Advanced Electronic Signatures) is a set of extensions to Cryptographic Message
Syntax (CMS) signed data making it suitable for advanced electronic signatures. CAdES files have
p7m extension and can be validated using public available software.
To add a digital signature for an USB recorded video, the XT creates a one-way hash of the mp4
file (using SHA256). The value of the hash is unique to the hashed data (recorded video). Any
change in the data, even changing or deleting a single video frame, results in a different hash
value.
This hash is then signed with a customer loaded digital signature (or a default one generated by
the XT) as specified by CAdES and the resulting signed hash -- along with other information about
the signer’s and root CA certificate -- is stored as a p7m file in the USB storage, together with the
recorded video.
When the recorded mp4 file is validated by the XT, the XT is able to detect if the recorded video
hash corresponds to the digital signed data contained in the associated p7m file, and also to
display information about the signing entity.
The p7m file can also be used by a third party to validate the recorded file signature (for instance
using online p7m validators, such as https://www.firma.infocert.it).
Important
When XT is configured to back up the .mp4 recorded files to a generic FTP server,
the .p7m file is also saved. This is not available for AESR.

Figure 12: Digital signature applied to .mp4 SHA256
The signers can load their own certificates and keys to XT using a PKCS#12 file, or they can follow
the manual guided procedure to obtain a .csr file and to upload the signed certificate and Root CA
certificate on the XT.

Release Notes for Avaya Scopia® XT Series What’s New | 17
Important
If no valid certificate is uploaded to sign recording files, XT will use a self-signed
certificate to digital sign recorded files, if configured. Please note that self-signed
certificates do not assure the same level of security as the certificates signed by an
official Certificate Authority.
Please be sure to save your Digital Signature Certificate in a safe storage. When XT
is restored to factory settings your digital signature certificate is lost. You need your
digital signature certificate uploaded to XT if you want to verify the integrity of the
recorded files using the XT.
Recording Validation on XT Endpoints
To enable a digital signature on the USB recorded files, browse to
[GUI] CONFIGURE>ADVANCED>UTILITIES>RECORDING>GENERAL

Digital Signature: Yes/No*. You can activate a digital signature of the recorded video. Once a video
is recorded, a hash of the video file is generated and signed using a certificate uploaded by the
customer; a p7m file is produced together with the video file. The p7m file contains the signed
hash and can be used to verify that the video has not been altered or tampered with.
To upload a valid certificate to be used as your own digital signature, see previous section. If a
personal certificate is not uploaded, XT will use a self-signed certificate to digital sign recorded files,
if configured. Please note that self-signed certificates do not assure the same level of security as the
certificates signed by an official Certificate Authority.
In the Web interface, More Options>Recording, a Verify signature button is displayed if the recorded
file and its companion signature (.p7m) file are available on the USB storage. If the signature is
verified, a green seal is displayed below the video preview. Clicking on the seal icon, details about
the signature certificate are displayed.

recognized as a valid one
Validation performed, signature not verified
The video has been validated, but the digital signature was
produced using a self-signing certificate.
Validation in process
The validation process can be long if the video spans over
several hours. Please wait for a few seconds.
Validation failed
The video or the signature file has been altered. The
integrity of the video is not guaranteed.
Validation not yet performed.
Press “Verify Signature”button. If this button is not present,
it means that the recorded file cannot be validated
(signature file not present in the USB storage).
Please note that for security reasons the signature
validation must be repeated once the XT restarts or the USB
storage is plugged again.
Important
The automatic validation is done by XT using the current recording signature. If the
video was recorded using a different signature, you need to import the digital
signature in the XT to validate the recorded files.
Please note that recorded files can be validated also by third party tools. The SHA256 of the mp4
file is contained as text in the p7m. You can validate the p7m content using third party tools for
signature verification, recalculate the SHA256 of the mp4 and check if this value corresponds to the
content of the signed file (p7m). This assures that the mp4 file is not altered, and you can check who
signed it.
Click on the seal icon to see details of the digital signature. You can also download the p7m file
together with the mp4 file.
Scopia Control Enhancements
Several enhancements have been added in Scopia Control 9.1 (Scopia Control Application for
iPhone/iPad application). XT release 9.1 is required to support Pointer Tool and Chat via Scopia
Control.
Scopia Control Pointer Tool
It is now possible to use Scopia Control to show/hide and move a pointer tool over an XT
presentation. The pointer tool is shown locally and also sent to remote parties as part of the
presentation stream.
Multiple Scopia Control users can control the pointer tool simultaneously.

Figure 15: Pointer Tool Activated by Scopia Control
Scopia Control Chat
It is now possible to use Scopia Control 9.1 to send/receive chat messages on behalf of XT when
XT is connected to an Equinox or Scopia Meeting where meeting roster is available.
Please note that private messages will be received by all the Scopia Control users controlling to the
same XT.

Release Notes for Avaya Scopia® XT Series What’s New | 20
Networking Enhancements
A few enhancements have been added for network connections
Support for 802.1x EAP TLS
802.1x is an Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) standard that provides an
authentication framework for WLANs. 802.1x uses the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) to
exchange messages during the authentication process. Several authentication protocols that
operate inside the 802.1x framework are suitable for wireless networks. These protocols allow the
network to authenticate the client while also allowing the client to authenticate the network.
In this release XT supports EAP-TLS (EAP Transport Layer Security, authentication based on
certificates) in addition to EAP-MD5 (authentication based on username/password).
To import or generate certificates for 802.1x EAP TLS, follow the guided procedure in
[WEB]ADMINISTRATOR SETTINGS>UTILITIES>CERTIFICATES>802.1X
Network administrators can load the XT certificate and keys with a PKCS#12 file, or they can
follow the manual guided procedure to generate a .csr and to upload the signed certificate and
Root CA certificate on the XT.
Figure 17: Add 802.1x Certificates for EAP-TLS
Generate certificate signing request (.csr) for 802.1x, associated to the XT. XT’s IP
address or DNS name can be used.
Sends .csr to signing Certificate Authority
Receives back Root CA Certificate and Signed Certificate
Loads Root CA Certificate and Signed Certificate to XT, in this order
You can configure 802.1x on each GLAN to use MD5 authentication or TLS authentication with
certificates.
