RELEASE SP1.20 (Sept. 22, 2006)
Added hardware support for the new VCT1000 series of VoIP
Cordless Phones and VRT series of VoIP Regular Phones. Added an
extended range of call volume settings to allow the volume to be
adjusted to a lower setting than the normal default volume
setting. Support for the Eyebeam (Version 1.1) softphone dialer
added.
Skype:
Fix added for the VPT1000 usb phone so that calls
are routed immediately when the green offhook/send key is pressed
after dialing the number.
Eyebeam:
This is the first release that supports the Eyebeam
V1.1 softphone dialer from Counterpath.
RELEASE SP1.19+ (April 11, 2006)
Increments added to: (1) Limit busy tone generation
to approximately 15 seconds to help ensure busy tone is not
continuously generated such as when a caller leaves a conference
call. (2) Slightly slow down the callerid name/number sending
sequence sent toward the phone by the VTA1000 as some phones are
not able to accomodate very fast transmission speeds. (3)
Generate a busy tone when a call times out and no number is
dialed within 30 seconds after a Skype call is initiated. (4)
Support the latest vintage of VTA1000 hardware which uses the
Slic560C chip.
RELEASE SP1.19
Skype:
1. Remote phone application expanded support added.
A feature was added to support out-of-band DTMF touchtone
re-generation to allow the VTA1000 Gateway to support a much
wider variety of remote phone applications. The new feature
allows a remote phone extension to be created using only a
VTA1000/VPC1000 product combination connected to a PSTN local
phone line. Using the latter a remote caller is able to place and
receive local phone calls via the PSTN local phone line using
ONLY a Skype dialer and its built in keypad just as if they had a
phone directly connected to the PSTN local phone line. For users
who have the VTA1000 or a VTA1000/VPC1000 combination connected
to a PBX, the out-of-band DTMF touchtone re-generation feature
also allows remote callers to directly be able to directly dial
an extension on the PBX using ONLY a Skype dialer and its built
in keypad. The VPC1000 may optionally be programmed with an
access password which must be entered by the remote caller before
access to the PSTN local phone line is allowed providing
additional calling security. To improve the end user calling
experience for remote phone applications, the remote caller may
optionally use our VPT1000 USB Phone which plugs into the usb
port of a computer and works like a regular phone (or
alternatively another VTA1000 Gateway with a good cordless or
regular phone).
2. Automatic Skype dialer field settings. The
audio device settings in the Skype dialer are also now
automatically set when the USB device is plugged in. The need to
set any special Skype field settings at the time of product
installation has been removed.
3. Skype 1.4 and Skype 2.0 support added.
Netzero Voice:
This is the first release that supports proprietary
NetZero Voice softphone dialer. NetZero Voice have developed
their own proprietary protocol and do not use either the SIP,
H.323 or IAX2 open protocols.
X-Lite:
CounterPath version of the X-Lite softphone dialer
support added. For reference the company Xten who developed these
dialers is now called Counterpath.
