3CX is pleased to announce service pack 5 for version 9. This update is mainly a bug fixing update and the last one for 2010. This service pack is available for download from the 3CX Winforms Management console / Service pack updates and will upgrade your 3CXPhone System V9 to build 15536. The update takes between 5-10 minutes once downloaded depending on the machine spec of your 3CX Phone System server. Update is 20Mb in size.

Important Notes:

Plug and Play: Plug and Play is only available for Yealink and TipTel phones at the moment. With this feature, creating option 66 in DHCP is no longer needed and you don't need to know the IP Address of the phone or log in to the phone's browser.

  • Right click on a detected Yealink or tiptel phone from the Phones Page in the management console and select "Add Extension" or "Add Existing Extension".
  • Fill in all the required information and select the appropriate template for your phone model from the Provisioning Tab. Click on Apply and OK to save changes. 3CX Phone System will send a SIP NOTIFY message to the phone with the provisioning URL inside. The Phone will accept this and provision automatically.

Known Issues

  1. Yealink phones pick up calls from Queue will pick up wrong leg of call. Reported and fixed in Yealink nest firmware update
  2. When a call to an extension with RMS is recorded and answered from the mobile phone, you will get a small audio file with no audio.
  3. Queue position will not be accurate if there are a lot of ringing polling calls in the queue
  4. If you have your extension configured with RMS, and you try and trigger a makecall from the Assistant, this will ring your own number
  5. Polycom users: G722 will not work directly with the latest Polycom firmware and users will not be able to transfer calls. Options to fix this temporarily are to bind the extensions to media server or put PCMU/PCMA at the top of the codec list (edit templates). G722 native support will be available in Version 10

Note (BETA): 3CX Users that want to register 3CXPhone for Android from an external location can modify a parameter in the custom parameters table of the 3CX Management console (Settings/Advanced/Custom Parameters) "ALLOWSOURCEASOUTBOUND". Set this to 1 and you will receive 2 way audio upon successful registration. However this might have a negative effect on VoIP Providers so be careful to test this out properly on your environment before.
