Redundancy; Pbx New Features And Enhancements - Altigen MAXCS ACC 6.0 Administration Manual

Chapter 1: Overview
Where a Softswitch and multiple gateways are involved, HMCP is required, and AltiGen
HMCP Licenses are needed.
MAXCS Release 6.0 includes the following HMCP resources:
HMCP G.711 only codec (up to 1,000 sessions)
•
HMCP G.711/G.723/G.729 combo codec (up to 200 sessions)
•
HMCP station-based conference member resources (up to 40 bridges with max 120
•
members)
HMCP MeetMe conference bridge member resources (up to 20 bridges with max 120
•
members, max 30 members per bridge)
HMCP Supervision resources (up to 20 supervision bridges with 60 members)
•
The number of resources is licensed through the license file. After a proper license file is
applied, the system administrator can dynamically increase the number of HMCP
resources without restarting the AltiServ system.

Redundancy

Supports system redundancy (a Redundancy license is needed). Requires two Softswitch
servers, primary and secondary, set up and connected through a Dataprobe A\B switch
box (KAB). The two servers maintain a keep-alive connection between them directly,
AltiServ to AltiServ. When the active server goes down, the standby server takes over
control. Added in Release 6.0 Update 1.

PBX New Features and Enhancements

Automatic Dialing Plan Rules- Administrators can configure a call return rule based
on the country in which they reside, greatly improving the call return feature in non-U.S.
countries. Applies to call return from Caller ID, Zoomerang, and making a call from
Microsoft Outlook. The configuration is located in the System Configuration window,
Country Relevant tab.
Account Code Table Display Blocking - An administrator can block the display of the
account code table in client applications. Users can be prevented from seeing account
codes they don't need to see. The configuration is located in Extension Configuration,
General tab.
New and Heard Voicemails Announced - Heard voicemails are announced, as well as
new and saved voicemails, when users access voicemail.
TAPI 3.1 - Supported for Windows VISTA.
Copy AA Configuration - An AA configuration can be copied, forming the template for
a new AA.
Log In and Log Out - An administrator can log in and log out a workgroup member
from the Workgroup Configuration window in MaxAdministrator.
Department Field - A department field is added to an extension. Departments can be
added to a department table in Enterprise Manager. A department can also be assigned
to a global extension and can be seen across the Enterprise VoIP domain. In
MaxAdministrator, the department field is displayed as a read-only value in the
Extension General page. In MaxCommunicator, department information can be seen in
the Directory and Monitor tabs.
IP Phone Programmable Key and Account Codes - When AltiGen IP phone button is
configured to quickly tag a call with an account code (using Admin Defined #), no
disruption occurs.
