3CX Phone System V5.0 - Release Candidate 2 - build 3563
Features for all Versions:
. Ability to create outbound rules / dial plans based on number of digits. This allows a dial plan to be setup that does not require a prefix.
. Extensions no longer need to be setup as internal or external - the PBX will recognize this automatically, providing full mobility to user.
. SIP ID forking allows multiple SIP phones to have same extension number and ring at the same time, allowing a user to have both a desk phone and use a software phone whilst on the road or at home.
. Ability to specify up to 3 outbound routes per rule - allowing you to easily configure back up / fail over routes.
. Ability to specify bank holidays in out off office hours section. This way, calls can be handled differently during bank holidays.
. Improved automatic configuration of Patton gateways, including the ability to automatically set the country tone set.
. Improved support for Audiocodes gateways.
. Overall performance has been increased drastically to support more simultaneous calls, users and call queues.
. Firewall test utility - allows automatic testing of the firewall configuration, and reports which ports still need to be opened in order to allow a VOIP provider to be used.
