In individually created provisioning files, this change must be transferred manually.
<subscriptionFailureHandling>...</subscriptionFailureHandling>

Transfer configuration

A configuration can now be transferred from one variant to a specific other variant.

Bug Fixes

Analogue fax machine

With some providers it was not possible to send fax messages in the local phone network.

Note: : If an analogue telephone and a user instead of an external device fax were temporarily configured as a workaround, this must be reversed.

Logging into the Web Interface

Only applies to version 2.2.0 COMtrexx Next: After deleting all contacts, it was no longer possible to log in.

LDAP

If automatic exchange line request was switched off, the 0 for exchange line request was not transferred to the contacts. External calls initiated via the contacts failed. LDAP now checks the automatic exchange line request when a call number is requested. If the telephone number to be supplied has more than 4 digits, it is regarded as external and preceded by an exchange line access number.

Note: For the few exceptions where telephone numbers with less than 5 digits are external, these must be entered with the local area code.

If automatic exchange line request was switched off, no internal phone numbers/contacts were displayed for newly created users.

An unnecessary empty contact Admin was displayed in the COMfortel D-series phone.

LDAP / Voicemail App

If automatic exchange line request was switched off, the callback via the voicemail app did not work on a COMfortel D-series phone.

NAT traversal

The public IP address was also sent in the header, even if the option was switched off.

Presence

After logging out (roaming user), a COMfortel D-series phone was still displayed as available.

Call forwarding

External call forwarding was always carried out via accounts at the system location and sometimes failed. The account associated with the redirected number is now used.

Bug Fixes

COMfortel SoftPhone

Changing ports were used to connect to the proxy server. Now a fixed port is always used.

Softphones with a '+' in the password could not register. This remains the case. Automatically generated passwords no longer contain a '+'. For manually entered passwords, the '+' must be avoided/removed.

Note: When using the COMfortel SoftPhone for Windows, the IPv6 address of the PC must currently be/remain disabled for a stable telephony function.

Remote Backup

With larger amounts of data (e.g. due to longer announcements), error messages occurred during the backup.

Do not disturb status display

The status of the Do Not Disturb function was displayed incorrectly if the status was changed during a set rework time.

Codecs

The Codec G.729 could not be used from internal telephones.

D1-Net

Incoming calls from the D1 net were no longer signalled.

Fax printer driver

Communication between fax printer driver and COMtrexx was not possible. This is fixed with this version in conjunction with version 1.4.4.3 of the fax printer driver.

Note: If the use of HTTPS was temporarily switched off as a workaround, this must be reversed. This must be done on each PC used in the dialogue of the fax printer driver and here in the COMtrexx: Administration > Network > Server service > Force HTTPS connection

Import Provider template

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

Ringing sequence

The ringing sequence linear - fixed - rotating - split group did not work correctly.

Number presentation

In countries without an area code, there could be problems with number transfer.

Important: The OpenVPN server is only available with feature level 2 or higher. If you want to use this function, please contact your dealer or system partner.

Improvements

Change of term

The term standard contact group, which was previously used twice, is now only used for the assignment to the user. The contact group type is now called PBX.

COMfortel SoftPhone

It is now displayed how long the COMfortel SoftPhone is available free of license costs:Administration > Licences

Initial Commissioning

The PBX can now be found in the network without knowing the IP address. Enter in the browser: comtrexx.local

Internal telephony

Faster call set-up for internal calls.

Provisioning

The provisioning templates for COMfortel SoftPhone and COMfortel WS-500x have been extended to address various issues with the end devices.

REST API

The device scheme and thus the creation of devices has been simplified.

A SIP soft client can now be created.

Telephony COMtrexx VM

Improved audio quality. Observe the note on rebooting after the update (see above).

Security

Fail2ban

Improved security by using Fail2ban.

Important: Note that the improved security may also lead to more blocking of non-malicious access. Even repeated "mistyping" when entering the password or a configuration error can lead to an entry in the IP blocklist.

Bug Fixes

Automatic configuration switching

Switching times entered for Saturday may also have been carried out on Sunday.

Automatic reception

Automatic reception did not work with DTMF inband or SIPINFO.

COMfortel D-Serie

After pressing the logout key, the IP address of the phone was entered in the IP blocklist.

COMfortel SoftPhone

Outgoing calls were terminated under certain circumstances after a short signalling. This could be fixed by the following setting:Telephones > Assignment > Configuration > RTP encryption > only unencrypted. Now the setting is already correct for a newly created phone.

COMtrexx VM for Oracle VM VirtualBox

When starting a COMtrexx VM from the saved state, the system time was not updated.

Fax machine

An external fax machine could not be called from a PTMP connection.

LAN TAPI

Calls could not be forwarded.

Fan

After a reboot, the fan of a COMtrexx Business may be running at full speed.

Monitoring or BLF

Individual functions such as park positions were not supported for BLF. Now VoIP end devices can monitor other internal users, groups, park positions of call parking, voice mail/fax boxes or door terminals using BLF and receive information about their calls or their busy status.

Web interface

Bug Fixes

PBX management

Occasionally, there could be disruptions during call set up, for example in connection with call forwarding in the exchange line using Call Deflection.

Telephones

External calls to a group could not be accepted on a COMfortel D series phone.

Security

Important security updates

This version includes important security updates. Its use is strongly recommended.

Changes V1.4.7

Improvements

Mutual Authentication (SSL)

The PBX now allows the activation of mutual SSL authentication. This means that not only the PBX checks the registrar's certificate, but the registrar also checks a certificate transmitted by the PBX. Requirement for this is the configuration of two externally generated files in the .pem format: a client certificate and a private key. Provide these files and a passphrase that may belong to the private key in the provider configuration:Exchange lines > Providers and Accounts > Provider > SIP > SIPS > Client certificate/Client key/Client passphrase.

Bug Fixes

PBX management

Changing the assignment of a user to a phone (Roaming User) could influence the group assignment. The user has been logged out for incoming calls.

Licenses

Licenses were charged for analog fax machines without an assigned port. Now, a license is only charged when a module has been configured and a port has been assigned to the fax machine.

Logging

The settings (logger categories) for the logging were not correctly adopted under certain circumstances.

Telephones

Unnecessary information was displayed in the call list of a COMfortel D-series phone. Now, certain information is no longer displayed.

In connection with Vodafone Kabeldeutschland, the call forwarding status on a COMfortel 3600 IP key was not correctly displayed.

Usernames with umlauts led to incorrect display in COMfortel D-series phones.

Under certain circumstances, the transfer of a call on hold with a COMfortel D-series phone failed.

Under certain circumstances, the phone did not display the correct BLF status.

Telephoning

Some calls could not be accepted in some cases when the system was under high load.

On blind transfer (transfer without announcement) the transferring user was disconnected if the call destination could not be reached. Now, the first call partner is reconnected.

There were call disruptions in connection with Telekom Magenta.

Under certain circumstances, the blind transfer (transfer without announcement) failed. The call came back and the phone switched to handsfree.

Administration > Service > Logging > Logging activated: Switchin off the logging had no effect if the syslog server had been selected as logging system.

Administration > Maintenance > Update and Restart: When updating and restarting via the web interface, a link to an incorrect IP address was displayed. Now, the correct IP address is displayed and the PBX can be reached via the link.

Exchange lines > Exchange line routing > Exchange line routing incoming: When dividing a number block, the linear call distribution was not implemented for all created number blocks. Now, new created number blocks are always implemented with linear call distribution. The remaining number blocks keep their settings. When deleting a number block, you will be asked which number block should be connected to. The settings of the chosen number block are adopted. If required, existing call forwardings are deleted.

Exchange lines > Exchange line routing > Exchange line routing incoming: Changing the call distribution for a phone number failed and led to deleting the phone number from the account settings.

Exchange lines > Exchange line routing > Exchange line routing incoming: Obviously, a call distribution could be configured for a new created empty account. Now, there is a note that phone numbers have to be created for this account first.
