Feature Enhancement in Firmware Version 7.5.5b

Display of Name and Extension for BLF Keys

A parameter, <BLF Label Display Mode> is added to display both name and extension for Broadsoft BLF keys. The default display value is "Name," and the possible display values are "Name/Ext/Both".

Note The parameter can be configured via phone UI also.

When the parameter is set to “Both”:

  • The phone alternates between name and extension in 5-seconds’ interval if BLF is configured on the line keys.
  • The phone shows both name and extension if BLF is configured on the side car keys.
  • The phone renders both name and extension in a single line using the selected font. If the space is not enough, it successively tries smaller-sized fonts. If it fails even with 8 points, then it renders name and extension in two lines.

Display of Dialed Digits

The phone is configured to show the digits entered when a call is connected or is proceeding.

A new parameter, <Show DTMF Digits When Connected>, is introduced to select the expected behavior options, which is in Admin Login > Advanced > Voice > Phone.

The options are "No"/"Yes"/"Masked."

  • If 'No' is selected, no digits are displayed.
  • If 'Yes' is selected, most recently dialed digits (up to 15) are displayed.
  • If 'Masked' is selected, it behaves like 'Yes', except the digits are masked with ‘ * ’s.

On a SPA5XX phone, when a call is connected or proceeding, the dialed digits are displayed on the second row of the call screen:

  • If the user chooses the option to display the digits entered, the 15 most recent digits are displayed until the call is disconnected.
  • In a conference call, the digits are displayed only on the highlighted call.
  • If the call is not diverted, the digits are displayed until the call is in neither proceeding nor connected state.
  • If the call is diverted, whenever a new digit is entered, the line switches from "Via: XXXX" to digits for 10 seconds. If no digits are entered in the past 10 seconds, the line then switches back to "Via:XXXX".

Behavior During Times of Network Congestion

Anything that degrades network performance can affect voice and video quality, and in some cases, can cause a call to drop. Sources of network degradation can include, but are not limited to, the following activities:

  • Administrative tasks, such as an internal port scan or security scan
  • Attacks that occur on your network, such as a Denial of Service attack

To reduce or eliminate any adverse effects to the devices, schedule administrative network tasks during a time when the devices are not being used or exclude the devices from testing.
