HiPath OpenOffice ME Release Delta MR4 in Detail

The following list contains the main new functions introduced with HiPath OpenOffice ME V1 Minor Release 4. It describes the delta between MR3 and MR4 in a technical way. Innovations from customer's view see HiPath OpenOffice ME New Features in MR4.

Licensing

 * HiPath OpenOffice ME V1 Basic License Package 10 Plus
 * New, cost-effective Basic License Package with the following contents: 1 system license for the operation of HiPath OpenOffice ME, 10 licenses for Comfort Plus User, 4 licenses for Media Stream Channels.

Functions During the Call

 * Instant Messaging (Status of Recipient)
 * Instant Messaging enables internal subscribers to exchange instant messages (i.e., chat) with one another. Context menus with the menu item Send Instant Message show the current status of the recipient, e.g., whether the subscriber in question (i.e., the intended recipient) is currently logged in.

Controlling Availability

 * Microsoft Exchange calendar integration
 * Through the integration of an Exchange server, OpenScape Office receives information on the Presence status of all subscribers. This applies, regardless of whether or not a subscriber's PC is operating and connected to HiPath OpenOffice ME.


 * Disabling Voicemail Recording
 * A subscriber can disable the recording option for his or her voicemail box. The caller then hears an announcement, but cannot leave a voice message.


 * CallMe Service (One Number Service)
 * When the CallMe service is enabled, the internal station number is displayed to both the caller and the called party.

Conferencing

 * Number of conference participants
 * The maximum number of conference participants was increased to 16.


 * Recording a conference
 * A conference initiated via Conference Management can be recorded by the conference controller.

Working in a Team (Groups)

 * Fax Box for Team Configuration or Team Group and Executive/Secretary Configuration or Top Group
 * For each Team configuration or Team group and Executive/Secretary or Top group, a Fax box can be set up via which the members can receive Fax messages directly through myPortal or myPortal for Outlook.


 * Voicemail Box for Group Call, Hunt Group
 * When setting up a group call or hunt group, a voicemail box is automatically created for it. The call number of this voicemail box for the group always matches that of the group call or hunt group. If a call is not accepted by any member, the call is forwarded to the voicemail box for the group. This requires the group voicemail box to have been defined as the CFNA (call forwarding on no answer) destination of this group call or hunt group.


 * SIP Phones in MULAPs (required for the integration of dual-mode mobile phones and Dect over IP)
 * SIP telephones can be integrated in a MULAP. As a prerequisite, a system telephone (IP phone, HFA) must have been defined as the first member of the MULAP. No programming of MULAP keys is possible for SIP phones. Furthermore, no features can be activated or deactivated via codes. Specific display messages of the MULAP are not supported.


 * Voicemail Group
 * A voicemail group enables a specific group of subscribers to access voicemails. When a call is placed to the call number of a voicemail group, the call is sent directly to the voicemail box (i.e., the answering machine) of the group and not to the group members. After a voicemail is left in the voicemail box of the group, it is forwarded to the voicemail boxes of all members.

Mobility

 * Support for Dual-Mode Mobile Phones
 * Dual-mode mobile phones support both GSM/UMTS networks and WLAN networks. A dual-mode mobile phone can be registered as an IP station (SIP client) at the communication system over a WLAN. If the dual-mode mobile phone is in the WLAN range, it is automatically called as an IP station (i.e., SIP features are usable). If it is outside the WLAN range, the dual-mode mobile phone is called via GSM/UMTS (i.e., Mobility Client functionality is usable).


 * Dual-Mode Mobile Phones in MULAPs
 * Dual-mode mobile phones that are configured as Mobility Entry stations can be integrated in a MULAP. As a prerequisite, a system telephone (IP phone, HFA) must have been defined as the first member of the MULAP.


 * Support for HiPath Cordless IP
 * HiPath Cordless IP is the DECT-over-IP solution for HiPath OpenOffice ME. The wireless technology complies with the DECT Standard. With HiPath Cordless IP, this established DECT Standard for mobile voice communications is available in Voice-over-IP infrastructures of HiPath OpenOffice ME. This enables customers to use the competitive Gigaset professional portfolio with HiPath OpenOffice ME as well. The DECT-IP base stations support a seamless handover of existing voice connections, i.e., the switching of radio cells with a DECT mobile phone during a call. In addition, the roaming function for mobile stations is also offered, i.e., the switching of radio systems without an existing call.
 * The DECT-over-IP base stations used with HiPath Cordless IP have an Ethernet connection and are operated within the LAN. The already released Gigasets SL3, S3 and M2 professional can be used for HiPath Cordless IP without any changes. The interface to HiPath OpenOffice ME is SIP; this provides a different set of features than for the HiPath Cordless Office solution. Details can be obtained from the sales information.

OpenScape Office - Integrated Applications

 * Support for Terminal Server and Citrix Server Operation
 * OpenScape Office can be deployed in Windows terminal server and Citrix server environments. OpenScape Office can be used together with and via the central server so that users can access the integrated applications from their PCs.


 * Additional Languages for OpenScape Office
 * The following additional languages are available for myPortal, myPortal for Outlook and myAttendant: Danish, Finnish, Norwegian, Polish and Swedish

Voicemail and Faxes

 * Central Cover Page for the Fax Printer
 * The HiPath OpenOffice Cover Page Editor can be used to define a central cover page for the Fax Printer. This central cover page can then be made available to all subscribers with HiPath OpenOffice Assistant.

Operating and Monitoring the Telephony Feature

 * Voicemail Group as Night Service Destination
 * Instead of a single voicemail box, a voicemail group can be defined as the destination of a fixed or variable night service.

Maintenance

 * Backup Sets for Diagnostic Purposes
 * "Smaller" backup sets containing diagnostic data for Service Support can be created for diagnostic purposes. In contrast to normal backup sets, significantly smaller data amounts are produced for this purpose and can thus be easily sent with an e-mail, for example.
