Software Updates
PBXPlus Software Update 4.8.6
For 4.2.x+
Date: 06/17/13
Changes
- Added Alerts
A Routable Destination that requires licensing for use. You can route to an alert like any other destination. You can also flag an outbound route to trigger an alert. Routing to an alert can perform any of 3 actions:- Send Text Message to anyone in list entered (local Q Manager PBX chat only).
- Send Email Message - message delivery is retried if it fails on first attempt.
- Trigger Scheduled Call.
- Added Recording Application
Recording Application allows creation of recording applications which can currently record calls on queues or outbound routes. In the near future this list will be updated to include other destinations, and possibly providers as well.
Each job controls how many recordings will be kept each day, as well as how long recordings for that job are kept.
Recordings are licensed per simultaneous recording job. Note if you start a call and are already at MAX recordings it will not record the call, and it will not start recording the call if one of the other recordings finishes. A recording must have an available license to record at the start of the call.
- Added Notification Area
Several alerts will display at the top of the Admin web pages when you are logged in. The current alerts are: 1) Default Password 2) SIP Local Net 3) Apply Changes
The warnings are reminders they do not have any effect on the system operation. Currently the Apply Changes alert will trigger more often than necessary, as it triggers when people change their forwarding settings, (which does not require apply changes). However, in the interest of caution, we would rather it warn people that they have not applied than not. In the next release will update this functionality so that it can be enabled/disabled.
- Validation improved on some input fields
- Added Web Manager
This is a web based version of a BLF console. Compatible with latest Browsers (IE 10, Chrome, Firefox, and Safari).
Use requires a Q/Call Manager license.
To Use navigate to [http:// http://]<pbx ip address>/ippbx/WebManager - Updated look feel for reports log in, (looks like admin interface now).
- Warning is now displayed on the Phone Global Page when the default template has been modified. - Note after saving you need to refresh page to see this update.
- Updated Display Names for destinations in Drop Downs - should be more informative when creating groups on large systems as extension number and name are available in the drop down.
- Added navigation links to Extension, phone config, and schedule pages.
- Updated HD Phone firmware so new installs receive 1.8-52 firmware package.
Bug Fixes
- Fixed issue where agent recordings could be lost on an upgrade
- Fixed issue with attempting to set prompt 0 (default prompt) in remote menu admin.
- Fixed issue with password for exportCSV not working
- Changed PBX software to send Extra SIP BYE in order to prevent a rarely occurring race condition that could cause a phantom call when 2 phones were answered simultaneously.
- Updated interface security to fix a number of issues we found during internal auditing.

Bug Fixes

Known issues
- On Phone Key and Settings page there is a display issue with setting ringer volume to 0. When you set the volume to 0 it will allow you to save it and send the value to the phone. However if you reload the page the ringer value will be set back to the default value. In order to keep the volume at 0 you will have to reset this to 0 each time you edit the page. Only editng the page after setting the value to 0 causes this issue. This issue has been fixed and the fix will be available in the next software release.
