Description
An Administrator can now specify a " ^ " (caret character)
before a configuration parameter in the aastra.cfg and
<mac>.cfg configuration files which allows the parameter
to be overwritten and reset back to a specified value.
DHCP Option 43 support has been extended to include the
ability to bypass contacting Aastra's Redirection and Con-
figuration Server (RCS), in addition to the previous support
of setting the configuration server to contact.
An Administrator can now set the offset of UTC using DHCP
Option 2.
The phones now provide support of multiple IP addresses
being returned for the DNS lookup for server redundancy
via multiple DNS A record entries.
An Administrator can now also use three new configura-
tion parameters in the configuration files (or an XML
object) to enable/disable the uploading of support infor-
mation to a pre-defined server.
The IP Phones now support the Malaysian tone set and
tone set cadences.
The phones now allow a User or Administrator to enable or
disable the ability for the phone to initiate a continuous
reminder tone on the active call when another call is on
hold.
You can enable or disable a feature that would start the
reminder ring splash timer as soon as you put a call on hold
(even when no other calls are active on the phone).
