Aastra IP Phones should reset the values to "0" and re-tune their phones again
with release 1.4.1 if necessary. This is required to avoid high transmit levels
heard by the far-end after upgrading to 1.4.1. To set audio transmit and

the telephone user interface or Aastra Web user interface. Users may need to
reconfigure their settings again after the upgrade due to new file system
enhancements. This issue does not affect customers who configure their
phones using a TFTP/FTP/HTTP server.
• Users who wish to downgrade from release 1.4.1 to 1.2 must downgrade to
release 1.2.2 prior to downgrading to release 1.2, in order to restore file
system structure. Failure to downgrade to version 1.2.2 first may result in
configuration parameters being ignored.

Prefix Dialing
The IP phones now support a prefix dialing feature for outgoing calls.
How it works
You can manually dial a number or dial a number from a list. The phone
automatically maps the pre-configured prepended digit in the configuration, to the
outgoing number. When a match is found, the prepended digits are added to the
beginning of the dial string and the call is dialed.
You can enable this feature by adding a prepend digit(s) to the end of the Local
Dial Plan parameter string in the configuration files or the Aastra Web UI at
Basic Settings->Preferences->General.
SIP IP Phone Models 480i, 480i CT, 9112i, 9133i Release Notes
New Features in 1.4.1
Note: The prepend digits are also added if the dialing times-out on a
partial match.
For example, if you add a prepend map of “[2-9]XXXXXXXXX,91”, the IP
phone adds the digits “91” to any 10-digit number beginning with any digit from 2
to 9 that is dialed out. Other examples of prepend mappings are:
• 1X+#,9 (Prepends 9 to any digit string beginning with “1” and terminated
with “#”.)
• 6XXX,579 (Prepends “579” to any 4-digit string starting with “6”.)
