 * Blue Angel” eco label for the OpenStage 15,20 &40 SIP Special highlight is the receipt of the Blue Angel eco label for the OpenStage 15,20 &40 SIP (handed over by the RAL gGmbH). Up to now Siemens Enterprise Communications is the first and only company with their VoIP devices to adhere to these high standards on protecting the environment and climate with regards to energy efficiency and using eco-friendly materials and manufacturing processes. Please visit: http://www.blauer-engel.de/en/products_brands/search_products/produkttyp.php?id=559


 * Device based Call Recording for OpenStage SIP The feature "Call recording" relies on the presence of a (centralized) voice recorder in the network which acts as a SIP endpoint, and which a SIP phone can call to record the speech from an established call. The recorder will record all media sent to it. This approach was previously implemented on the Optipoint phones: The phone uses the audio mixing capabilities, normally used for the local audio conference capability, to merge the audio/media streams of both parties involved in the call and uses a supplementary call to connect to a voice recording device.


 * OpenStage SIP: Push support for SEND URL This feature is based on the Send URL feature. The Send URL mechanism is enhanced with a push mechanism available for XML applications. With the push mechanism it is possible to control an LED on an FPK/FFK on the phone independently from user action on the FPK/FFK. Note: The send URL feature does not support NAT. That means that the IP addresses in both send URL HTTP request and the push request must be reachable both by the phone and the application server.


 * Audible key click It is now possible to generate acoustic feedback (key clicks) on key press action. The user has control over which group of keys to produce the key click: Number keypad only or all keys. The user is able to select the Key click configuration option via WBM or the Settings menu on the phone itself.


 * Simplified procedure to initiate a conference V2R2 has improvements in 2 ways: A new context sensitive menu item, “Start conference” respectively “Add to conference” is added to call menus for single-connected calls or connected conference calls respectively. The “Conference” FPK function has been modified so that if the FPK is pressed when there is a single call or a conference is connected, a normal consultation call is started and the other party is taken into the conference.


 * Mobility Log-on/off times improved DLS Mobility log on/ log-off time is reduced from between 60 - 120 seconds down to approximately 30 seconds for an OpenStage IP phone registered on an OpenScape Voice server. However: In case of a forced log-on * it takes a little longer (between 30 & 60 seconds). FORCED LOGON - A Mobile user is already logged on a device and a logon on a different device is attempted.


 * Fixed keys like Disconnect, Redial (OS 20&40), Call Forward & Voice Dial (OS 60&80) are now programmable The following functions become available for the FFKs (fixed function keys): Hold, Consult, Conference, Repertory Dial, New feature “Home button” (aka “Show phone screen”) for OS 20 SIP & OS SIP 40.


 * Clear screen / Home button programmable on OS 15, 20 & 40 A new FPK/FFK feature providing a simple shortcut to Callview mode (to return the phone back to the home screen to make a new call). Pressing such a programmed FPK/FFK is the OS40/20/15 equivalent of pressing a dedicated CallView mode key (which OS40/20/15 does not have).


 * OpenStage SIP: Secure Interface to OSM The interface between phone and OSM has been improved. The data is now encrypted so that the information between phone and OSM cannot be seen when tracing the network. The transfer of phonebook information is private. A new version of OSM is needed to work with OST V2R2: OpenStageManager V2 R2.2.0. From the user point of view to test the change, they just need to take the new version of OSM and use it the same way as before.


 * Power save modes in compliance with Blue Angel

 * SIP phone hold key operation enhancement (RQ00023291). The FPK feature ‘Hold’ can put an existing call on hold. If the Hold key is used within a held call the call will be retrieved (single line phone).


 * Automatic pop-up of Context Menu during a call (RQ00028755). Up to version V2 R1 the context menu of the phone is displayed, if the user presses the right arrow key. With V2 R1 the context menu is automatically shown. This is configurable. The default is set to on.

 * Mode keys press to send URL or start XML application (RQ00026541) The mode key on OpenStage 60/80 can be reconfigured. The access to the local phone application can be replaced with an XML application.


 * Fixed Voice Dial key to send SIP message+ (RQ00026543). The voice dial key can be configured with other functions, like server feature, Send URL and Start XML application


 * Fixed redial key on OS40/20 to send URL to server (RQ00026547). The redial key can be configured with other functions, like server feature, Send URL and Start XML application

 * Configurable flag to delete call log contents. (RQ00026545). The DLS can delete the call log of the phone remotely

 * AICS ZIP tone (RQ00021476) This feature increases productivity of agents receiving calls distributed by an ACD system or for hunt group members. It allows an agent using a headset to put the phone into a mode where incoming calls are automatically answered without ringing and without any key press, and without the Openscape Voice providing any additional signalling information specific to the auto answer.


 * Ringer preview (RQ00026726) The requirement is to change the ringer selection UI provided by the user menu, such that while the user is browsing the tones/melodies or files, they are automatically played to indicate what the chosen ringer will sound like.


 * Distinctive ringing (RQ00023757, RQ00026540) The SIP Server may provide information within an incoming call indication or ringer request that a specific ringer is to be used. A table is maintained in the phone to provide a list of different ring types that may be selected by the switch for use with an incoming call.


 * Dial plan (RQ00024810) The Dial Plan feature allows an OpenStage phone to determine the completeness of a dialled number so that the phone can start the dialling process without the user explicitly having to select a further option such as "dial" or "OK" after entering the last digit.

 * TAB navigation (RQ00024373) The tab bar becomes an item that can be highlighted by scrolling upwards in the screen. Tabs can be scrolled in either direction using the Left and Right arrow keys.


 * Back arror to call view (RQ00024374) A normal (not long) press of the Left arrow key whilst any line (not the tab navigation bar) of a top level screen of a phonelet is highlighted and active should change the mode focus to the Call View application.


 * DSS call forwarding status option (RQ00025099) (Openscape Voice only) The forwarding state will be indicated using the DSS Key led, and will also be reflected in the associated DSS/LINE overview screen.


 * Call forwarding information during connect display (RQ00025108) (Openscape Voice only) This is an enhancement to the existing capability to indicate call forwarding history in the alerting display for in incoming call.
