Important information for users of version 11.3.3.x
Version 11.5 is a further development of functionality in 11.2. This means that not all functions available in 11.3 are also available in 11.5. Note that the missing functions are very customer project specific and that most of the installations using 11.3.3.x are not impacted by this at all. However, if you have an installation which relies on these functions, and it is operating as required, you are advised not to upgrade to 11.5.3.4. The functions which are not supported in 11.5.3.4 are:
- Turn off Audio Message triggered by the data command $SVP_ST.
- SIP Reply with RINGING when AlphaCom station is ringing. 11.3 X version support ringing both on SIP trunk and SIP station.
- Dynamic Group Call
- IP-HA State data sync
- AlphaWeb station discovery
- Station Tone Test with volume increase
- Priority direct paging similar to feature 93
