Beta Firmware 1.4.2 Available for Test

Aastra Telecom will soon be releasing a new software update for the 480i, 9133i, 9112i, and 480iCT IP phones.

Release 1.4.2 delivers various feature enhancements, including:

1. XML support for virtual web servers and extra control over the text menu object
2. Redial list improvements – accessible during a call and storing of “pause” keys
3. The ability to use a speed dial key to send DTMF digits during a call
4. Incoming calls no longer cause partially dialed numbers to be lost.

This release also resolves a number of issues, including:

1. Fixed random crashes when connected to an Asterisk server, caused by out of dialog SIP messages
2. Intercom calls no longer interrupt the active call on the phone placing it on hold
3. Pressing the left cursor key no longer crashes the 480iCT phone
4. A long dial plan with prepend entries doesn’t stop the phone booting anymore
5. Fixed intermittent crash during auto-resync and XML reboots.
