Yes, this will be possible. Additional costs will arise though if the software assurance is resumed after a break. We will provide more detailed information as soon as the software assurance prolongation is available in Q1/2024.

Due to ever-increasing IT security requirements and new specifications from providers, Auerswald cannot guarantee that all telephones from other manufacturers can be put into operation and used permanently with the full range of functions. Especially with older third-party telephones, which no longer receive firmware updates from the respective manufacturer, functions can only be supported to a limited extent or not at all.

Recommended action for systems possibly affected by hacker attacks:

1. Deactivate all port forwarding to the ICT system!
2. Check the log and make sure that the logins are traceable
3. Change the username, PIN and admin password
4. Check whether there are newly created sub-admins, users, participants or groups and change the passwords
5. Change passwords for public VoIP providers
6. Check call deflection

Check the following points for all profiles and properties (users, participants, groups, etc.):

1. Check the dialling privileges
2. Check parallel call
3. Check call deflections
4. Check voicemail boxes, check activation of remote control and change PINs
5. Check the deputy functions of the voicemail boxes and the registered destinations
6. Check Follow-Me settings

Check other configurations:

1. Check whether remote access by telephone (switching functions remotely by telephone) is active. Change PINs or, if unused, switch them off
2. Check automatic reception, check activation and registered destinations
3. Check FMC/call through functions, check users and dialling privileges
4. Check entries in the IP release list

When using Auerswald IP system telephones with integrated voicemail:

1. Check the access data, change the password
2. Check the destinations for call deflections
3. Check the voicemail boxes, check activation of remote control and change PINs

Requirements:

PBX firmware 8.2 or newer

• COMpact 4000
• COMpact 5x00(R)
• COMmander 6000
• COMtrexx firmware 1.6.1 or newer

COMfortel WS-500x firmware 2.48 or newer

• Alarm-Messaging or Alarm-Messaging-Location Licences in the DECT Manager

To use the alarm-messaging or alarm-messaging-location features, the provisioning file for the COMfortel IP DECT system must be supplemented in the telephone system.

Switching on the function:

<!-Switch on alarm messaging and location for all handsets--->.

  <oper name="set_hs_aml" value="@">
   <param name="LocationAML" value="1"/>
   <param name="MessagingAML" value="1"/>
  </oper>

OR

<!-- for individual handsets -->

  <oper name="set_hs_aml" value="IPUI des Handsets">
   <param name="LocationAML" value="1"/>
   <param name="MessagingAML" value="1"/>
  </oper>

Activate alarm server certificate:

  <oper name="set_uci">
   <param name="mosquitto.listener.enabled" value="1" />
  </oper>

Release of the ring tones in the COMfortel DECT handset:

  <settings version="1.0" productID="e2">
   <param name="AmlGlobal.0.HottestAlertNameHigh" value="High prio"/>
   <param name="AmlGlobal.0.HottestAlertNameMid" value="Medium prio"/>
   <param name="AmlGlobal.0.HottestAlertNameLow" value="Low prio "/>
  </settings>

If SIP text messages are to be displayed (e.g. with the call systems GIRA 834 Plus and Hospicall P3 or P7), the following must be added:

<!-- Set display name, priority, display duration, message memory duration and ringtone. -->

   <param name="SipProvider.0.AML_TitleText" value="GIRA Rufsystem"/>
   <param name="SipProvider.0.AML_Prio" value="3"/>
   <param name="SipProvider.0.AML_PresentationTimer" value="10"/>
   <param name="SipProvider.0.AML_TTL" value="3600"/>
   <param name="SipProvider.0.AML_AlertInfo" value="msg_melody_mid"/>

Assigning the AM and AML licenses

No, the COMtrexx Flex has an internal SSD.

Yes, this is possible with analog terminal adapters.

No, only use the COMtrexx GbE-NET-module for this purpose.

Note: If logs of a COMtrexx are required for diagnostic purposes by the support, you will receive a cfc file that enables the recording of certain system processes.

Setting up Wireshark logging in the COMtrexx

1. Import the cfc file under Administration > Service > Logging > Import.
2. Activate the logging under Logging activated.
3. Select Logging system > PCAP format (wireshark).
4. Save the changes.

Performing Wireshark logging

1. Open the Run dialogue (Windows + R).
2. Start Wireshark with the following command wireshark.exe -i TCP@IP_PBX:42231
   example wireshark.exe -i TCP@192.168.0.240:42231.

Wireshark starts with a new user interface

Note: To limit the file size for a longer recording, the maximum size of the files can be set in the recording options.

1. Open the recording options under Recording > Options > Export.
2. Configure the destination folder and file name for the recording under Open.
3. Activate the file size limitation under Automatically create a new file... > after > 20Megabyte.

Numbering and date/time are then appended to the file names: COMtrexx-Log_00001_20220404103804, COMtrexx-Log_00002_20220404104014

The price for software assurance will be around 20% of the full license price per user and year.

In principle, PBX Call Assist 5 can still be used. However, if the software assurance is not extended, the scope of features will be significantly limited: neither the Microsoft Teams app nor the latest versions of the mobile apps will be useable. In addition, systems without software assurance do not receive bug fixes and security updates, and there is no access to subsequent releases with new functions.

Error messages on the SoftPhone

From Q1/24 onwards, it will be possible to extend software assurance beyond January 1st, 2025.

Workaround for the COMfortel IP-DECT system

With firmware 2.53 the number of AM and AML licenses present in the COMfortel IP DECT system is checked. If no licenses or less licenses than handsets are active in the system, in rare cases an error message appears in the handsets after some time. In addition, this instruction saves the manual assignment of AM and AML licenses to the handsets in the DECT Manager.
You can remedy this with this workaround:
Please create a new template for COMfortel WS-500 in the phone system. Then click on Edit.
In the provisioning file, search for „<!—Enable AML for all connected handsets".

Change these parameters:

<param name="LocationAML" value="0"/>
<param name="MessagingAML" value="0"/>

In the PBX, assign the provisioning file to the DECT manager. Perform provisioning. Open the provisioning file again.

Now the tag must be commented out:
Please cut out „-->“ in the first line.

<!-- Enable AML for all connected handsets -->
<oper name="set_hs_aml" value="$(m5x0.ipui)">
   <param name="LocationAML" value="0"/>
   <param name="MessagingAML" value="0"/>
</oper>

And add at the end of the tag

<!-- Enable AML for all connected handsets
<oper name="set_hs_aml" value="$(m5x0.ipui)">
   <param name="LocationAML" value="0"/>
   <param name="MessagingAML" value="0"/>
</oper>
-->

Perform provisioning.

Subsequently, in the DECT Manager under

Settings -> Handsets

Edit the appropriate handsets and enable and save messaging:

Messaging -> Yes

Setting up the alarm-messaging or alarm-messaging-location function via provisioning

The COMfortel SoftPhone can only be used if the internal registrar is set to LAN1.
