8. Release Notes

Please note that the release notes have been moved. Please click here to see new posts.

• Until now, the option "SIP over TCP" could be selected in the customer settings. This function can now only be changed by the NFON support.
• From now on, it is possible to select and activate predefined Directcall Emergency Numbers. With this function, it is no longer necessary to dial the prefix code (e.g. 0 or 9) before dialing the emergency number (e.g. 112). If the activated Directcall Emergency Number conflicts with an existing extension, the Directcall Emergency Number will overrule the extension number. The extension will no longer be available. Vice versa it is not possible to add an extension with the same number as an already activated Directcall Emergency Number. An error message is displayed.
