New Features and Changes by Build (summary)

Changes in C23 (from C22) in the post GA up-issue build:

Citrix Related Fixes

•
When the server was offline for a period of time, the retry code for the control socket
connection did not release the socket descriptors. This eventually caused all new socket
connections to fail (including audio).
•
The RFB code falsely reported itself to the GXAS server as a little endian architecture,
when in fact it was big endian. These false reports caused the IP Phone 2007 to
manually swap all the pixel color bytes delivered by the server. With the architecture now
specified as big endian, the byte swapping occurs on the server instead, where the
processing power resides.
•
After a boot/hard reset, an initialization problem prevented the sticky bit from working until
the RFB app was manually started.
•
In setting the sticky bit timer message from the GXAS server, the message was
sometimes incorrectly discarded.

Changes in C22 (from C21):

The C23 replaces the planned C22 post-Ga up-issue.

Enhancements

•
The IP Phone 2007 integrates the 802.1x Supplicant (EAP) feature from the Phase 2
phones. (See the Notes section for details.) Inclusion of this feature also addresses the
following EAP related CRs:
Q01079237, Q01110638, Q01110648, Q01110635, Q01110618, Q01117527,
Q01110647, Q01136496.
•
The IP Phone 2007 integrates the VLAN Filter feature from the Phase 2 phones. When
enabled, this feature filters the frames without the voice VLAN tag on the three port
switch, reducing CPU impact of broadcast storms, as well as improving voice traffic.
(See the Notes section for details.)
•
The IP Phone 2007 now has graphical XAS push and page feature functionality. This
lets the IP Phone 2007 remain in the graphical XAS mode, while providing the push and
page feature operation from the Citrix server. In order to support this feature, the Citrix
server software requires an upgrade. Refer to the general release bulletin for details.
•
The touch screen calibration data is now saved to a file in the FFS. When the phone
boots up, values from the saved file are made available for calibration. This lets the user
calibrate the screen. It also ensures stable calibration across power cycles and resets.
After pressing the Save key, file writing to the FFS causes a slight delay; this is normal
and expected.
•
Empty lines and inconsistent order in the Fixed Voice VLAN drop down box have been
fixed.
