INFORMATION

Beside general bug fixes and improvements this package contains specific improvements, new features and bug fixes reported in the context of Enreach’s communication platform Swyx. An update of existing systems to this version is strongly recommended.

With this firmware package the SwyxDECT 800 system now supports the as-feature events defined in the uaCSTA standard. This functionality is only available if the DECT system is operated in the Advanced Swyx DECT integration mode.

The as-feature events allow the synchronization of certain events and states defined in the standard between a SIP-device (here a DECT base station and a DECT handset associated to a Swyx user account) and the Swyx platform.

• Call Forwarding on Busy (CFOB): CFOB can be enabled or disabled on the handset, and can be configured to forward to a specified number or to the user's voice box. The status and configuration of CFOB is synchronised with the Swyx settings of the respective Swyx user account.
• Call Forwarding on No Reply (CFNR): CFNR can be enabled or disabled on the handset, forwarding to an entered number or to the user's voice box can be configured. The status and configuration of CFNR is synchronised with the Swyx settings of the corresponding Swyx user account.
• Call Forwarding Unconditional (CFU): CFU can be enabled or disabled on the handset and configured to divert to a specified number or to the user's voicemail box. The status and configuration of CFU is synchronised with the Swyx settings of the respective Swyx user account.
• Do Not Disturb (DND): The user can activate/deactivate their Swyx rich presence status for DND. The presence status is synchronised with the user's status on the Swyx and is therefore valid for all devices of the respective Swyx user account. 
• Anonymous Call (AC): The user can activate/deactivate the AC feature on their handset. This setting is synchronised with Swyx: All calls, regardless of the device used by the respective Swyx user account, will now be signalled with suppressed caller ID until AC is deactivated again.

Additionally, the following issues are fixed within this firmware package.

• Fixed: DECT-integration: Active call is disconnected if user settings are changed in parallel.
• Fixed: DECT-integration: A handset synchronises three times when the call journal is opened.

Known restrictions:

• The new as-feature events are not supported for the legacy SwyxPhone D881

Known issues:

• Easy provisioning (Adding new handsets to the system) does not work reliable in an environment with more than one DECT system. Sometimes it needs more than one attempt to register. Workaround: Restart the handset and retry the initial provisioning.

Introduced with Swyx 13 SwyxDECT 800 can be operated in 2 different modes.

• Swyx DECT Integration: For the initial set-up of the Swyx DECT Integration the DECT Master should be updated to the present FW v.12.0.5 (as usual). The update of the antennas ("slaves") and the handsets will then be done automatically as part of the Advanced DECT-Integration for SwyxDECT 800 feature.
  Before updating your DECT 800 system, please check carefully if your installation meets the requirements for the operation of the Advanced DECT-Integration feature (Swyx Online Help).  

• Standard installation w/o DECT-Integration for SwyxDECT 800: If your SwyxDECT 800 system does not meet the requirements for the use of Swyx DECT-Integration (e.g. Usage of Ascom Unite, IP-DECT GW, usage of multiple SyncMasters, Mirroring), you can continue to operate the system as usual. The update of the base stations will then be done as before, as well as the update of the handsets via the optional programming cradles or Ascom Unite.  

For installations with Advanced Swyx DECT-Integration, the firmware package is automatically made available in the Swyx Control Center in a timely manner. For installations whose components are updated via a local software distribution, as well as for standard installations, suitable firmware packages will be made available for download in the Enreach Partner Net.
