Hi, I know this is a little OT but there are many Asterisk users of the excellent Siemens DECT/VOIP phones like the S685IP and 475IP and this is probably newsworthy for them.
One of the biggest bug bears has been no mute function on the handset. When I woke up this morning, the handset told me there was a firmware update. I updated and then visited the web site to find out what had been fixed (quite a lot of new features have been added): http://gigaset.com/shc/0,1935,hq_en_0_152411_rArNrNrNrN_variation%253A-5_pageType%253Adownloads_imagePos%253A0,00.html#content Gigaset C470 IP / C475 IP / S675 IP / S685 IP Firmware update 04/2009 Download version: 02184 New features: * E-mail viewer (with C47H, S45, S67H, S68H handsets) * Mute function. Turn off the handset's microphone during an external call with the left display key. * Send and receive SMS messages via VoIP* * VoIP: If the telephone cannot establish a VoIP connection, it automatically dials via the fixed line network (auto-fallback to PSTN). * VoIP: Call transfer via R key * VoIP: An incoming call indicated in parallel at different VoIP devices (parallel ringing) will not be stored in the "Missed calls" list if the call was accepted at one of the devices.* * Online directory: display the postal codes in search results.* * Online directory: when starting a new search the cities used in the last searches will be displayed. * Fixed line access codes can be stored in the phone. * Some languages will be loaded on to the base via the internet, depending on the language set on the handset. * Extended RTP port range (1024-55000) * DHCP Option 114 implemented.* * DHCP Option 120 implemented.* * Web Configurator: option to specify whether the "area code" is dialled as well. * Web Configurator: display RTP port range * Web Configurator: new languages - Arabic and Russian * Web Configurator: enhanced PIN protection - warning if the default pin (0000) has not been changed. Improvements: * The automatic search function for firmware updates is enabled even if the internet connection is temporarily interrupted during the night. * The indication "Anonymous call activated" will no longer be displayed in the idle mode of the handset. * The country code is synchronised between base station and handset. _______________________________________________ -- Bandwidth and Colocation Provided by http://www.api-digital.com -- asterisk-users mailing list To UNSUBSCRIBE or update options visit: http://lists.digium.com/mailman/listinfo/asterisk-users
