Trust Server Update

Hello,

ICOM has released an updated/enhanced version of the trust server software that has resolved the issue noted below.

The new software dramatically improves the time between synchronizations as well as reduces the amount of data synchronized with each gateway to only the data that has been updated.

To clarify what I said yesterday, each gateway is synchronized with the trust server approximately every five minutes now. The actual synchronization takes only a few seconds.

Hello,

ICOM has provided the trust server team with a new version of the trust server software that has dramatically decreased the time between synchronizations. It is taking about five minutes to synchronize each gateway as compared to 80-90 minutes in the past.

We are unfortunately experiencing a new issue with the software that is causing it to stop responding periodically, about every 3-4 hours. We are working with ICOM to resolve this new issue. In the meantime, we are restarting the software manually.
