Version 1.7.0

Fixes issues

ZEN-1843 Initiating broadcasts from the API to devices in a different subnet did not work

There was no workaround other than putting these devices in the ZCP subnet

ZEN-1795 After restore some devices might not have become operational

To solve this issue you had to reboot the ZCP

ZEN-1525 Changing device IP on static IP assigned network did not work

If the static IP flag is enabled on a network and a device IP is changed the device would end up in unconfigured state

ZEN-1523 Logging with Syslog did not work if Debug log is Off

When setting up an external Syslog server in the “Applications” menu and “logs” section. If the “Debug log” was set to Off the remote logging would not start

Work around was to set the log value to any other value than Off

ZEN-1522 Log level is set back to Off after upgrade to 1.6.0

You might experience that the remote logging stops working after upgrade to the 1.6.0 release

Go to “Applications” menu and “logs” section and update all the “Log Level” values to the desired values

ZEN-1474 Authentication fields on trunks had username & password issue

When adding or modifying trunks in the “Devices and Connections — External Communication” menu it was not possible to change both user name and password at the same time, change one at a time

ZEN-1193 Connect server was not rebooted after factory reset

After a factory reset or upgrade a manual reboot was needed to make sure the system was in the right state

ZEN-757 Broadcast was not working if caller is member of broadcast group

Until this was fixed the sender cannot be part of the group it is sending to

Known issues

ZEN-1866 If Zenitel Connect Pro and devices are not on the same version the devices might get unconfigured warning

To remove the issue upgrade ZCP and devices to the same version and reboot ZCP

ZEN-1812 When importing a system using the excel there is a risk stations will not get operational

The workaround is to log into device web and reboot the device or delete it from the configuration in Connect Web.

ZEN-1789 When using directory services on devices with displays, the text is too long and might be cut off

In the future the wording is intended to be revised to be more compact to better suit the full range of displays

ZEN-1738 Directory services service codes does not check permissions

When calling directory services using the service code method the initial call is not permission checked. When calling using a directory number the permissions are checked.

ZEN-1726 When editing existing call services the priorities of the different permissions might change causing unexpected behavior

The order the different permission lines are evaluated in might change if they are modified. If editing an existing call service check that the behavior is as expected or enter it from scratch

ZEN-1659 When starting a broadcast call in Zenitel Connect Pro initiated from a trunk there is no ding dong sound played

For local broadcast there is an initial ding dong sound played before the broadcast begins. There is currently no workaround for this issue.

ZEN-1529 Sometimes the trunk status does not show reachable although the connection is working

When setting up or diagnosing a trunk in the “Devices and Connections — External Communication” menu by looking at the status fields it is sometimes empty when it should have been displaying “Reachable”

The connection can be working so be sure to test with a call

ZEN-752 Several PAVA functions require the use of # and * which is present on ITSV keyboards.

This is good to keep in mind when designing a new system with PAVA integration. There is also the option to use API.

ZEN-649 TLS SIP Trunk towards CUCM does not set up properly

There are issues exchanging certificates to get this secure communication working, workaround is to use TCP or UDP.

DS-1538 Some IPVRS-1 devices are not detected correctly in Zenitel Connect Pro and will display an error message on scan, but works correctly

The device shows up as an “TKIE-1/2” in the device list and a warning message saying “Mismatched device types found” is displayed on scan.

To fix this set the correct sub-id using the newest VS-Tools
