• When MWI notify has not been received yet, the phone should follow the MessageWaiting status stored in flash to indicate the last known message status under the Messages item of the Main Menu.
• The phone should allow ACD Agent to select Unavailable status without entering any unavailable reason code.
• Phone should show new/old messages as -/- when first MWI notify has not been received yet, or the new/old values are not available from the server.
• On-hook dialing of a number that is longer than 4 digit blocks subsequent on-hook dialing of any *xx internal star code (to invoke Intercom for example).
• On-hook dialing with an exact digit map match reported as an invalid number.
• When a call through OBiLine is on hold while another call is ongoing, it is as if the OBiLine is in conference.
• Phone web page shows status for two FXO Lines although only one OBiLINE device is supported.

Firmware 5.0.2 (Build: 3855)
Firmware 5.1.2 (Build: 3855)
October 5, 2016

Features and Enhancements:

• Limit Screen Saver Timer to 5s minimum to avoid accidental misconfiguration by the user.
• Support for server certificate signed by “VeriSign Class 3 Public Primary Certification Authority - G5 CA.”
• Increase the margin between the retry delay window as a caller and as a callee to better resolve mid-call Re-INVITE glare.
• Hang-up/Answer button support for Plantronics BT headset models; M50 and Legend.
• Improve robustness in handling firmware upgrade over a very noisy network connection.

Bug Fixes:

• Planned phone reboots, triggered by configuration changes via provisioning or firmware update, have no reboot reason code logged to the SYSLOG server.
• Resume, then quickly Hold on the same call, in succession, may result in unexpected termination of the call. This has been observed when the user presses the Resume softkey quickly followed by the Transfer soft key when the two soft keys are placed on the same soft key position.
• During an attended call transfer operation when the phone is calling the transfer target, if CallRemovalDelayOnPeerEndCall parameter is not 0, the phone still presents the Transfer. Now option to the user after the transferee hangs up, but the call has not been removed from the phone yet. In that scenario, the phone can reboot with no reason, if the user presses the Transfer.Now soft key.
• When the user enters a wrong passcode to unlock the screen saver, the phone does not pop up an error message on the screen.
• Last Name and First Name fields are not saved when changed from the built-in Phone Book application.
• The SYSLOG Tag parameter does not apply to SIP Messages.
• Certain RTCP packet formats are misinterpreted by the phone and can cause a reboot with no reason. Note that this is not very common but has been observed a few times in the field.
• Turning on/off a connected Bluetooth headset quickly many times in sequence can cause the phone to reboot with no reason. Certain Bluetooth headset model with a low battery may exhibit this symptom.
  Requesting phone status from OBiTALK portal very rapidly multiple times during a call can cause the phone to reboot with no reason.
• When the OPENVPN client is enabled, the phone will schedule a reboot with reason 18 (for WAN IP Change) at the mid-point of the current DHCP lease time even when there is no IP address change. Note that if there is indeed an IP address change upon DHCP renewal, this auto-reboot with reason 18 is normal.
• In the middle of a call using a BT headset, disconnect and then reconnect the headset results in a loss of audio.
• The “Forget Bluetooth Device” function periodically fails to work.
• Allow the Number field in Caller ID display during Ringing to show a complete E164 number, such as: +14083331234.
• Pair 1062 with a smart phone. After a power cycle, answer an incoming call to the smart phone on the 1062. There will be a loud noise burst lasting around 0.8 seconds. This only happens the first time after a power cycle.
  Cannot perform on-hook dialing right after blind-transferring a call, until on/off hook once or turn on/off speakerphone or headset once.

• Changing the time format from the phone GUI from the am/pm time format to another one may cause the letter “m” to partially get covered.
• Default phone book picture should be an empty string.
• While editing a Speed Dial key, the phone does not allow user to press another Speed Dial key.
• (OBiTALK Service only) When an OBi is on a connected call, another OBi attempting to initiate a Directed Call Pickup will make an OBiTALK call instead.
• When auto prefix is enabled on the SIP Service, phone should not auto prefix with _sip._xxx. when resolving STUN server for SIP service.
• When a TCP connection is disconnected on the phone right after rejecting a SIP REGISTER, the phone will quickly retry the registration, in turn causing a rapid firing of REGISTER messages.
• Customized Line Keys do not have background image.
• Custom fonts loaded via "Phone Customization Data Package" cannot be executed.
• When using SIP over TCP/TLS, the phone may reply to an incoming INVITE after a long delay.
• Ringing and/or Call Waiting tones do not time out based on certain cadence setting.

Firmware 5.0.8 (Build: 4643)
October 27, 2017

Features and Enhancements:

• Added support for GlobalSignRootCA-R2.
• Added support for new soft key value: bxfer2 (under IP Phone, Soft Keys web page). This works like a transfer soft key, but reverts to use blind transfer after the target number is corrected. Unlike the bxfer soft key, this option will also work like you are making a regular transfer: will play dial tone, time-out, and follow DigitMap rules.
• Add support for new soft key value: split (under IP Phone, Soft Keys web page) to split a merged conference call item into individual call items by holding all conferee calls. This key is only applicable to a Merged Conference Call item. This can be used in the ConfTrying, ConfRinging, and ConfConnected soft key set parameters to make the call to the conference target an independent call.
• Added new parameter: Conferencing (under IP Phone, Soft Keys web page), which is a new soft key set to use when the conference call parties are merged together. By default, the value is end,split,newcall.
• Added support for two parameters under the IP Phone, Phone Settings web page
  • MergeConfereeCalls: Merge all conferee call legs into one item on the GUI.
  • TransferOnHangUpConference: When user hangs up the conference (on-hook, turn of speaker or headset), transfer one conferee to another (applicable only if MergeConfereeCalls is also enabled).
  • Note that the join softkey (i.e., transfer one conferee to another) option will not be shown for a merged conference call item if it contains more than 2 conferees; it would appear automatically once the number of conferees drops back to 2. The TransferOnHangUpConference feature reverts to a split operation if there are more than 2 conferees when the user hangs up, where the user can decide what to do with the calls.
• Added new Boolean parameter: ConferenceBridgeControl (under SPn Service page –Network Provided Services section) to enable or disable Conference Bridge user-control from the GUI such that user can view who is on the bridge and mute/deaf/end selected participant. This feature requires BroadSoft XSI and enabled by By default, value is false.
• Added new soft key set parameter: ConfBridgeControl (under IP Phone, Soft Keys web page to customize the soft keys when the conference bridge control menu is up on the phone GUI.
• Added new soft key: cbctl (only available in CallConnected soft key set parameter - under IP Phone, Soft Keys web page) to bring up the conference bridge control menu. Default label is “Participants.” Under this menu, there will be these soft keys to invoke the following actions:
  • Mute: allows no audio from the highlighted party to the conference
  • Deaf: allows no audio from the phone to the conference
  • End: disconnects the highlighted party from the conference
• Added new Boolean parameter: ToggleCallsApp (under User Preferences web page) to show the Calls App when pressing the HOME key on the HOME screen where there are active calls. Press the HOME key again to re-hide the Calls App. By default, value is false.
• Added new parameter: DimScreenDelay (under User Preferences web page). If the value is not 0, it will be the delay (in seconds) before the phone screen will dim to the minimum settable brightness of the OBi IP Phone’s LCD screen. This is independent of the screen saver settings, and any new call or key press will revert the brightness back to normal. By default, value is 0.
• Support Dim Screen and Dim Screen Delay settings under User Preferences GUI. In PreferencesMenu parameter, add the value sdim and sdimDelay respectively to have this setting viewable to the user. By default, they are not included.
• Allowed Add2Conf soft key during ringing so the call will be answered to join the on-going conference or two-way call. The soft key will be hidden if there is no other connected calls to add the call to. This feature is not available when using an external conference bridge.
• Added new Boolean parameter: X_UrlDialingIPAddress and X_UrlDialingDomainName (under SPn Service web page) to control whether to send the call to the dialed address directly or just to the current Proxy/OutboundProxy.
• Added support for additional macros in CallItem (customized screen item)
  • $conf - This macro determines the count of conferees. 2 for a 3-way call and 3 for a 4- way conference call. 0 means CallItem is NOT a merged conference call item
  • $name2, $number2, $charges2, $org2, $timer2, and $muted2 - corresponding values to $name, $number, $charges, $org, $timer, and $muted for the second conferee.
  • $name3, $number3, $charges3, $org3, $timer3, and $muted3 - corresponding values to $name, $number, $charges, $org, $timer, and $muted for the third conferee.
• In rendering a Call on the Calls App based on the value of CallItem (a customized screen item parameter), the $nitems macro will correctly represents the actual number of call items that can be displayed on screen.
• Added new Boolean parameter: EnableJoinLeaveGroupUserControl (under IP Phone, Phone Settings web page) to control whether the user can have the option to join or leave a page group through a soft key press. When the value of this parameter is true, the user will be allowed to join or leave the page group, and false is otherwise. Users can utilize the parameter AutoAnswerIntercom option to disable incoming pages instead of leaving individual page groups when this option is disabled.
• Added support to define a speed dial number with two or more dots (.) at the end to indicate the phone that the given number (up to before the first dot) is just a prefix and the phone will continue to collect further digits from the user before making the call. And if the user presses another regular speed dial or BLF key after the prefix-speed-dial, the second speed dial value will be appended to the prefix to make up the number to call.
• Added support for the display of more than one peer calls in the monitored Busy Lamp Field.
• Added new Boolean parameter: X_IncomingCallMustUseBoundCallKey (under SPn Service web page) to enforce that incoming call on a SPn service to only be assigned to the line key that is bounded to the same SPn service and not to a floating line key.
• Added new parameter: X_ConferenceBridge (under each SPn Service web page) for configuration for a different conference-bridge number/URL for each SPn Service. The default value for this parameter is cbridge so it would be compatible with prior software versions and the call will be routed based on the phone's OutboundCallRoute setting. On the other hand, it could be set up as SP1(my-bridge@xyz.com) under SP1 service, and SP2(my-other-bridge@abc.com) under SP2 service, etc. If X_ConferenceBridge is blank, it suggests that calls on this SPn service will not be using any external conference bridge.
• Support the $alert macro in a soft key style to be applicable to a pg1/pg2 soft key, where $alert expands into 1 only when $pg1.state == talking. Also make sure soft key background is refreshed when $pg1.state/$pg2.state changes to make the use of $alert effective and dynamic.
• Added new soft key set parameter: BLFCall (under IP Phone, Soft Keys web page).
• Added support to show the peer Caller-ID on a BLF Line Key when the monitored extension is on a call.
• Added two new Boolean parameters: X_BLFWhisper and X_BLFMonitor (under the SPn Service page - BLF Features section) to enable BLF/Monitor and BLF/Coach (in addition to BLF/Barge-In). If enabled, hold-pressing the BLF feature key on the corresponding service will show up under the BLF Key screen. Similar to how the BLF/Barge-In feature works, BLF/Monitor and BLF/Coach will barge-in a call on the monitored extension but only to monitor (i.e. listen) or only to coach (i.e. whisper). Note that currently these 2 features assume the use of a feature access code + target-extension (similar to BLF/Barge-In). The corresponding feature access codes must be specified in the parameters Whisper and Monitor (under the ITSP Profile x - SIP page - Feature Codes section on the web page). By default, values are false.
• Added support for Line Key Customization for Busy Lamp Field to behave differently when there are no calls and when there is one or more calls on the monitored extension. Hence you can choose to show peer caller-id data on the line key window when there are calls on the monitored extension, for instance.
• When referring a conferee to an external conference bridge has failed, the phone will try to resume that conferee call to start a local conference as a fallback.
• Added support for 'H' and 'R' command to speed dial send= syntax for Holding and Resuming play back of remote audio.
• Hide Calls App from screen when normal call ended and only SCA calls left in the call list.

Bug Fixes:

• Phone cannot handle SIP/NOTIFY for BLF properly without a scheme (such as sip: or tel:) specified in the entity attribute of the received dialog-info XML. In that case it cannot match the dialog with the monitored extension
• A ringing call item is shown on screen with inconsistent information on the Calls Screen and on the Ringing Screen. For example, Diversion information is not shown for the same item on the Calls Screen.
• OpenVPN client is not working correctly
• Phone mistakenly responds 488 to INVITE without SDP but with some other message body type, instead of processing it as a normal INVITE and responds 200 with an SDP offer.
• Some brands of 3.5mm headsets do not work correctly with the phone.
• Phone may crash when connecting certain models of Revolabs speaker to the USB port and pressing the controls on the external speaker.
• Phone does not properly handle call-appearance indices when calling to an external conference bridge and to park call from a share line.
