AudioCodes Calling Application for Emergency Failover
This new SIP fallback feature ensures that users can make calls even if Microsoft Teams is unavailable. The device maintains internet connectivity via the SBC using a SIP-based application, allowing users to call pre-configured numbers, such as emergency contacts, when the feature is activated.
Key Highlights:
- SIP Fallback Capability: Enables users to make calls through a SIP-based application when Teams is unavailable, ensuring continuous communication.
- Pre-configured Numbers: Users can only call predefined numbers, such as emergency contacts, during failover.
- System Administrator Configuration: Administrators can enable this feature, configure SIP parameters, and set predefined numbers during the phone configuration phase. For detailed configuration instructions, refer to the Administrator’s and User’s manual.
Support for Line Key Assignment
The Teams application now supports the assignment of contacts to line keys, enabling speed dialing and displaying Teams presence status. This feature enhances user convenience by utilizing the main LCD side keys on the C430HD, C435HD, and C436HD models, which were previously unused. Users can now assign up to six line keys for quick access to their contacts:
Force Users to Change Lock PIN
The Teams application now supports this ability. Administrators can now configure an option that forces users to change their device lock PIN. This is achieved by setting up the new configuration file parameter forceChangePIN, which mandates users to update their device lock PIN.
