.cfg File

sip added voIpProt.SDP.answer.useLocalPreferences Can be 0 or 1. Use this new parameter to

Action Parameter Description

have the phone use its own preference list when deciding which codec to use rather than the preference list in the offer. Null default = 0 = disabled.

Release Notes - SIP Application Changes

.cfg

Action Parameter Description

File

sip added call.stickyAutoLineSeize Can be 0 or 1.

Set to 1 to make the phone use "sticky" line seize behavior. This will help with features that need a second call object to work with. The phone will attempt to initiate a new outgoing call on the same SIP line that is currently in focus on the LCD (this was the behavior in SIP 1.6.5). This may fail due to glare issues in which case the phone may select a different available line for the call. Null default = 0 = disabled (this was the behavior in SIP 1.6.6).

2.5 Version 1.6.5

2.5.1 Added or Changed Features

• 11805: Changed behavior when a local conference is terminated. The remote conference legs are transferred so that the remote parties can continue the conversation.

Note that no Expansion Modules can be connected to the phone when the “EM Power” parameter is disabled. The default setting for this parameter is Enabled (i.e. 12W power requirement). In order for the correct CDP power requirements to be reported at boot time as well, bootROM version 3.1.3 is required. See Tech Bulletin TB14052 for details on how to use this feature.
