From Taridium

Revision as of 14:08, 7 May 2021

Versions apply to to core comms, switch comms-switch and web server comms-web RPM packages. Always check the current database release tags and run the database update with comms-config for both configuration and CDR databases.

Taridium comms 3.4

Version and support information:

Release 3.4.1-k

• Admin

  • The Enterprise plan editor now allows setting an extension group maximum. Note that the 'Max. Extensions & Groups' limit is the sum of extensions (with or without phone) and groups.
  • Enterprises can now have restricted call recording access (including voicemail messages) by third parties. Only the super-user 'admin' can control this by enabling restricted call recording access on the enterprise and individually allowing users (Access Control) to have access to the recordings. The super user always has recording access.

• Console

  • Fixes parked call retrieval and ringing call (steal) pickup.

• Enterprise

  • The queue callback delay can now be increased up to 15 minutes.
  • The MWI update function when listening/moving messages from Inbox (new) to Inbox (old) folder now supports opportunistic VoicemailRefresh where supported. The default SIP NOTIFY to reset is still sent.

• Switch

  • The MWI update function when using 'move to old' after e-mail delivery now supports opportunistic VoicemailRefresh where supported.

Release 3.4.1-j

• Enterprise

  • Fixes queue periodic announce prompt order. Previously prompts were always stored and played back in the original order of the selection/drop-down.
  • New extension group feature 'shared'. This feature allows an extension group to act like a shared line. The line will be limited to one inbound call. Any member can join the shared line and will be called in the same fashion as in a regular group. BLF is available by subscribing to the group's extension. Selecting 'Shared & Outbound' will cause any outbound calls from a group member to enter the line first and place an outbound call. When 'Shared' only, calls to the group from a member will provide a dialtone. This feature is off by default. Use $cfg['GroupSharedMode'] = TRUE to turn it on for both web AND switch.
  • Queue callbacks now feature a custom callback caller ID. This defaults to the enterprise caller ID. See queue editor.
  • Extension organizations now have a default fax caller ID. This is used when no individual fax caller ID is set for the sender.
  • Extensions now have a fax caller ID. This will be used in place of any other sending fax caller ID.
  • Queues now support custom prompts (see Queue editor). All spoken prompts including call back prompts can be customized.

• Polycom Hoteling/Roaming

  • The automatic resync for previously registered phones is now checked via reported MAC address to prevent the new phone from being rebooted when no other phone is registered.

Release 3.4.1-h

• Enterprise

  • New enterprise specific white and black lists. These will be used with enterprise specific APIs, SIP calling (any type) and call recording access. See API & Security > Permission Control White/Black List.
  • New option to play back a message when call limits have been reached. By default the system will either use 'busy' or 'congestion' signaling only (see $cfg['ConcurrencyLimitResponse'] below). See Features > Dialing Settings > Message When Call Limit Reached.

• User Panel

  • Improved copy voicemail dialog.

  Admin

  • Improved enterprise selector for enterprise limited access control.

  Switch

  • Ability to set the type of rejection when call limits are reached. Use $cfg['ConcurrencyLimitResponse'] with either 'busy' or 'congestion' values. The default is 'busy'.

  Polycom Hoteling/Roaming

  • A login request now sends a Polycom Check config SIP message to the currently logged in phone. This can be used to reboot the phone and force a subsequent log-out before the new provisioning is applied. See <voIpProt voIpProt.SIP.specialEvent.checkSync.alwaysReboot="1" /> to ensure the SIP message causes a reboot even when there is no config change.

Release 3.4.1-g

• Enterprise

  • Call queue members now also display their extension (if different from the caller ID number).
  • Call queues now support a dedicated callback queue. Callers are placed into this dedicated queue when called back.
  • Call queues now also support the 'announce position' setting, which allows position announcement to be tured on/off. Previously this was on by default.
  • Revised and improved call queue labeling for announcements.
  • Fixes TOTP 2FA setup when logging in to enterprise panel via username. Previously the setup would only work via the service panel.

• IPPS

  • Call recording download links introduced in 3.4.1-d can now be restricted with custom black/white lists. See $cfg['IPPSRecordingBlackList'] and $cfg['IPPSRecordingWhiteList'].

Release 3.4.1-f

• Admin

  • An automatic off-hours international call blocking feature has been added to the enterprise editor. International calls for a particular enterprise are now blocked automatically during off hours and weekends. Initially this is limited to 8PM to 5AM weekdays & weekends.

• Enterprise

  • Music on hold can now be played back in either random (previous default) or alphanumeric sort order. This feature can be used in call queues to play back an initial announcement to the caller and then play regular music on hold.
  • Queue periodic announcements now supports up to 5 prompts.
  • Queue periodic announcements can now also be played back in relative intervals (vs from the beginning of the announcement).
  • The IVR input editor now supports language selection.

Release 3.4.1-e

• Admin

  • The reseller voicemail to e-mail template now supports the following three additional variables:
    ${VM_SMSREPLY} - a link to an SMS reply dialog (requires a working SMPP configuration)
    ${VM_SMSLINK} - a link to an sms: URI scheme link to reply (e.g. on a mobile phone)
    ${VM_SMSLINKREDIR} - the same as VM_SMSLINK, but via an HTTP redirect for clients that strip the sms: URI links.
    These links will only appear if the recipient has a mobile number configured for the extension.

• Presence & Hints

  • Support for BLF monitoring of multiple SIP devices when subscribing to the primary extension. This needs to be enabled with $cfg['FullHintSupport'] on the web server and requires an update to extconfig.conf (see install file). An update to the enterprise is required to enable the new hint syntax. For multiple device monitoring click on 'update' extension or 'submit' on the Additional Line dialog.

Release 3.4.1-d

• IPPS API

  • New download link API for enterprise call recordings. Request a download link for a particular CDR unique ID value: https://pbx.provider/ipps/v1/1DF31D76624BA73D3718B9087CB0404C/rec/get/downloadlink?uniqueid=sw89-1610382968.72

• Enterprise

  • The dial-by-name directory now also supports a direct to voicemail option (see parameter drop down for directory function).

• Admin

  • New enterprise plan limits for IVRs, Queues and Conference Rooms. Note that global max. values have been introduced for $cfg['EnterpriseMaxIVR'] and $cfg['EnterpriseMaxQueue']. The old conference room limit variable $cfg['ConferencingMaxEnterprise'] still applies for non-plan or unlimited settings.
  • Reseller Voicemail to E-mail templates now support a new variable ${VM_SMSREPLY}. This will add a link allowing users to reply to voicemail messages via SMS. Only users with a set mobile number (sender) are supported. This feature requires a working SMPP/SMS configuration.

See release comms 3.0-p which introduced the ability to edit the caller ID name and number independently from the extension number and name.

• Switch

  • E-Mail to Fax now detects and supports multiple To: headers - this allows users to send the same fax to multiple numbers in one go.
  • Music on hold loop back fix for internalized calls. Prevents internal (from enterprise to enterprise) calls from being forced on to the caller's music on hold. This was causing the calling party to hear their own music when put on hold by a user on the same switch.

  • The $cfg['EnterpriseDistinctiveRingHeader'] setting has been deprecated in favor of the new Enterprise Dialing Setting > Distinctive Ringtones feature. Use the $cfg['EnterpriseDROptions'] array to specify custom headers as needed.
  • The 'Distinctive Ringtone' feature for extension groups has been expanded to support the $cfg['EnterpriseDROptions'] array. Legacy configurations are still supported with class1 through class12 values. So it is recommended to use the class1-12 settings configured in the default array.

• Admin

  • Fixes double escaping of reseller HTML voicemail to e-mail templates.

  • Beta support for monitoring condition states (key toggle and combo). Update the enterprise ('update Enterprise' button) to enable custom state support. BLFs can be configured to monitor the toggle extensions with the 'CHA' prefix. Toggle states will only work once an initial switch has been performed (on/off state) This requires a toggle extension assigned to the condition.

This enables the use of SMPP type providers for existing SMS features. The user will have to have at least one SMS enabled DID assigned to the extension. The primary DID will have priority over virtual DIDs. Other SMS enabled DIDs (not assigned to an extension) will have any addressed messages forwarded to the enterprise contact e-mail.

• Enterprise

  • Duplicate MAC address warnings now indicate where the MAC address is to be found when logging in as an ITSP user. Previously this would only be visible to admin users. Other users were only shown a generic duplicate warning. Only MAC address from enterprises within the same reseller will show and the user has to have ITSP login permissions.

• End User Panel

  • New support for user supplied photo. See Voicemail > Settings. This photo will be used in phone directories where supported (currently Polycom only). Supported formats: 128x128 pixel GIF, JPG or PNG image. Larger images will be resized as needed, but should be square.

The standard behavior is to only lookup if the caller ID name isn't set, 'unknown' or the same as the number.
  • Calls that are matched with a bad SIP useragent (from $cfg['DisallowedUAs'] array) do not create CDR records and also trigger a notification if authenticated.
  • Trunk failure routing now supports up to three failure destinations. Failure destinations can be entered as a comma or space separated list.

  • New optional $cfg['IVRAllowDirectToMailbox'] (0/1) allows IVRs to also accept a direct to voicemail in the same way it does for extensions when checked. Callers can reach mailboxes directly using the double asterisk prefix: e.g. **3300. This option is off by default.

Release 3.0-c (Caligula)

• Admin

  • New 'use SIP Proxy' setting for enterprise. This will be enabled by setting $cfg['SIPProxyPTIP'] and $cfg['SIPProxyPTDNS']. This feature will convert an enterprise for SIP proxy use. $cfg['SIPProxyPTTemplate'] will be used to override SIP template settings. This array of options can be used to 'hard code' specific settings such as nat, qualify, transport etc. to provide the proxy with a common registration backend. Any other template specific settings will remain. The %%address%% variable for file templates will be overwritten with the value of $cfg['SIPProxyPTDNS']. When reverting to regular use the appropriate template settings will be restored. The conversion/revert does not apply to enterprise SIP trunks.
