Bugfixes

MTN-392 Using DAK as C-Key Makes the IP DualDisplay Unresponsive for up to 15 Seconds

Using the combination of DAK strings with "C press" and "T" (text info), the stations would not respond to incoming calls and hang for 15 seconds. Fixed.

MTN-1118 AlphaWeb: Station Upgrade Menu Shows Multiple Entries of same Station

Introduction of multiple channel registration from one physical station could in some situations list several entries of the station in AlphaWeb upgrade menu. Now only one entry from each physical station is listed.

MTN-1400 AlphaWeb: Syslog Configuration: Entering More than one Word in the Log Filter Stops all Logging

It is now possible to use space in the Syslog filter configuration of AlphaWeb.

MTN-1403 AlphaWeb: Field for IP Address in Downloaded Station List is Wrong

The IP address of stations currently not registered would get the IP address of the previous station in the list. Fixed.

  • IP currently not registered, will now have an empty IP address ("-") in the downloaded CSV list.

MTN-1424 AlphaWeb: Station Configuration Jumps Back to First Page after Every Change

The AlphaWeb station configuration list now stays on the same page after applying station configuration.

MTN-1663 Missing Characters when $STM is used in Received Mail OFF Event

An Internal buffer of AlphaCom was not large enough to store all parameters in some situation. The internal buffer is increased to support "worst case" parameters for $STM.

The cause of the error message is now removed.

MTN-1687 System Status Event 27/231 is not Reported

IPHA sub event 231 of the System Status Event (27) was not reported correctly on AlphaSys 12.3.3.1 - 4 software. Fixed.

MTN-1722 Stations in Duplex Conference get Idle Display after some Time

All station display text is refreshed approx. every 10 hours. Due to a state fault, stations that were active in regular call, open duplex conference or initiator of group call for a long time would at some point be updated with idle text. Fixed.

MTN-1747 Not Possible to use Feature 111 (Stored Voice Message) Together with $GM (Group message)

It is now possible to use messages related to feature "Stored Voice Message 111" as parameter to the $GROUP_MSG command.

Improvements

Fixed an issue caused by uploading to large message files. The user will now get an error message: "File to large".

SIP trunk stations now allocate SIP trunk license when in call. Previously each configured SIP trunk station required a SIP station license.

  • For customers using SIP trunk stations, previously used SIP station licenses will not be used after upgrade.
  • The maximum number of simultaneous SIP trunk stations in call, will relate to the number of SIP trunk licenses in the system.

Please consult Customer Service if SIP station licenses needed to be converted to SIP trunk licenses.
