Added

Port and Port Container Priorities

For more information, see: Control Panel.

Port Container Templates

• Introduced automatic Port Container creation from selected Ports using a Template and predefined postfix scheme. Templates can restrict connections to matching Templates and can be changed for multiple Port Containers together.

For more information, see: Port Containers.

Direct Snapshot

• Introduced a dedicated Snapshot creation mode in the Control Panel. Select the Ports and Port Containers to capture, create the Snapshot, then return to routing mode.

For more information, see: Snapshots.

JSON Bodies in HTTP Rule Actions

• Added JSON request bodies for HTTP Rule actions.

For more information, see: Rules.

System Clock Counters

• Added Counters driven by the hi system clock for use with the Counter Widget, without requiring a connected MediorNet device.

For more information, see: Control Panel.

• Added a Preset setting for taking Port Container routes without opening the connection confirmation dialog.

For more information, see: Control Panel.

Changed

Guided Filtering

• Updated filtering and navigation to hide unnecessary Tags in the hi web interface and on Hardware Panels. Hardware Panel navigation skips levels that contain only one available item.
