Improvements

Connection setup

The waiting time for block dialling can now be set shorter to enable a faster connection setup: Public switched tel. networks > VoIP > Provider > Configure > Only en-bloc dialling | Delay time after last digit dialed

Note: Note that if you enter digits slowly, the call may then be raised before the dialling is complete.

Bug Fixes

Query IP address

The IP address query only worked on analogue, ISDN and system telephones, but not on standard IP telephones.

COMfortel SoftPhone

It happened occasionally that softphones lost their registration.

Softphones with a + in the password could not register. Now no + is allowed in the password.

End of the call

The call was not ended on COMfortel D-series telephones after the other party hung up.

Import Provider template

After changing certain settings and exporting, provider templates could no longer be imported under certain circumstances.

System Messages

New functions

COMfortel SoftPhone trial licences

Trial licences for the COMfortel SoftPhone can now be enabled in the Auerswald Shop.

Configurable Hold time after announcement before answering external calls to a group

The function determines the hold time in the waiting loop of a group. The maximum possible hold time is 30 minutes. This applies to the period in which no subscriber in the group is available. If a subscriber becomes free, the hold time ends and the normal call duration of max. 3 minutes applies.

Update messages for WS-500X and COMfortel SoftPhone

A contact image stored in the PBX phone book was not displayed when calling the corresponding contact in a COMfortel 3600 IP.

Password Provisioning WS-500X

When provisioning a WS-500X, using »$« in the password caused it to be falsified in the provisioning file. The subscriber could therefore not be logged on to the PBX.

Callback on busy

CF on busy no longer worked on analogue extensions.

Voicemail app: Voicemail box readiness

The readiness of the voicemail box could not be disabled via the voicemail app.

General

New assignment of a one-time password

The owner or an authorised representative can gain access to the PBX after identification, despite the forgotten password.

New functions:

• Support of the new IP DECT Solution
  Central point of firmware version 7.4B is the new IP DECT solution of Auerswald and the support of it. The solution consists of the following devices:
  • COMfortel WS-500S (singlecell basis)
  • COMfortel WS-500M (multicell basis)
  • COMfortel M-510 (universal handset))
  • COMfortel M-520 (elegant handset))
  • COMfortel M-530 (robust handset))
  The special part of the new system is the vastly better interaction of the ICT system and the DECT solution. The dominant part of the configuration of the DECT system takes place on the PBX. The DECT system is created as base and the handsets as subscriber.

   

  Important note for trouble-free installation:
  The base is not connected to the network until the provisioning file has been created and assigned. After connecting the DECT system finds the PBX and receives the corresponding configuration from the PBX. The handsets only need to be switched on and registered to the base. The DECT system is then ready for use.

Improvements:

• Improvement of the Configuration Manager after a firmware update
  The behaviour of the Configuration Manager has been improved in that way that it is no longer necessary that the cache of the browser must be deleted after a firmware update.

Miscellaneous:

• Note on CLIP no screening
  Please note:
  After updating to this version, you must enter the complete phone number (thus, with the local area code or, for example, as 0800… ) in the “Phone number for CLIP no screening” function.
• RSS feed is no longer supported
  As the support for RSS feed has been removed for security reasons in various browsers, we have decided to also remove this feature from our PBXs.

Bug-fixes:

• RTP port display in port overview was incorrect
  The address range for RTP is now displayed correctly in the port overview (Overview -> Ports).
• Activation option PBX Call Assist V3 was missing on "Activation" page
  The activation option PBX Call Assist V3 is now displayed on the page "Number of enabled functions" (Administration -> Activation).
• At internal calls to subscribers with active FMC, the wrong phone number was transmitted
  During a call from an internal subscriber to a subscriber with enabled FMC (Fixed Mobil Convergence), the correct phone number of the calling subscriber is transmitted (at an internal call the external subscriber number assigned via the call distribution or at an external call the phone number of the caller).
• When calling on an internal busy FMC subscriber, the FMC destination number was called
  If the FMC subscriber is busy, now, the FMC destination number is no longer called.
• Device type could be changed later
  The device type cannot not be changed later anymore (Subscriber -> IP Provisioning -> File management -> Column “Use for Device Type”).
• IP phone was provisioned unnecessarily
  If a call forwarding is activated or deactivated via the configuration manager, no provisioning takes place on the affected IP telephone afterwards.

Support of VoIP providers in Great Britain
VoIP providers in Great Britain work differently in some details than other providers in Continental Europe. Some providers can only operate without registration and assign a static IP address, which is required for establishing a call in the VIA header, in the contact header and in the SDP. These setting options are now available in the Configuration Manager for VoIP providers.

Improvements:

• Extended support for the provisioning of foreign devices
  Extension for provisioning introduced in version 7.2A: Now, matching configuration files for different IP phone (e. g. Auerswald D-Serie, Yealink, Snom) can be selected. These contain variables which are replaced during provisioning by the PBX with the relevant data. The adjusted file is subsequently sent to the device that is to be provisioned.

  The expert settings for IDSN and VoIP exchange lines have been extended by a change flag. This should visually represent a change in the settings.
• Time setting in the PBX
  The configuration of the NTP settings has been changed in that way that now the gateway address from the IP configuration can also be used for the NTP server. The separate country setting for the NTP server has been removed. This is now pre-selectable by the operation of the PBX in the respective country. Furthermore, the update interval has been reduced to 4,8,12 or 24 hours.

  If a new fax box is created, the checkbox "Mark sent messages as read" is now set as default.
