EV 223045: THIN CLIENT POUNDS XSP WHEN XSP SHUTS DOWN Thin Clients keep polling XSP regularly when multiple polling requests are failing. This happens when either XSP is shut down or there is connectivity issue between XSP and Client. This is now fixed.

The Client will schedule the next polling based on the following algorithm: Next Polling Request Schedule = (Polling Delay Time x Polling Retry Count) EV 225498: DEPLOYMENT STUDIO PROFILE DEPLOYMENT SCOPE TO INCLUDE PROVISIONING ADMINISTRATOR Currently, only System Admin, Enterprise Admin, and Group Admins can deploy a custom profile using Deployment Studio.

This is now fixed.

USER INTERFACE CHANGES Refer to the user guide for detailed information on the diagnostic tool. KNOWN ISSUES This section lists restrictions and limitations of the Call Center client. The client application is dependent on the web browser, and some of these restrictions are due to the limitations of the web browser applications. The window running Call Center does not focus on incoming calls in Firefox. Call Center must be the only tab when running in Internet Explorer. Otherwise the focusing window on incoming calls and Call Notification pop-up toasts do not work. The browser window running Call Center should be at least 1024 x 768 pixels in size. The changes to the Call Center profile (DSI) made using Deployment Studio may not take affect if the PC from which the new profile is uploaded has an earlier date and time than the Xtended Services Platform. To make sure that the new profile becomes operational, you must upload it later than the time of your last login to the Xtended Services Platform plus the time difference between the Xtended Services Platform and the DSI system (if the Xtended Services Platform s date and time is ahead of the DSI system s date and time). Due to technical limitations of Internet Explorer, workspace preferences work only in Firefox. The URL icon (favicon) may not work properly with Internet Explorer 8. When using the Firefox browser with plug-ins enabled, the following exception message may appear in the Java Console window if the application is reloaded (that is, the browser process terminates and is restarted). This does not cause any errors in the application and can be ignored: java.lang.classnotfoundexception: dummy at sun.plugin2.applet.applet2classloader.findclass(unknown Source) at sun.plugin2.applet.plugin2classloader.loadclass0(unknown Source) at sun.plugin2.applet.plugin2classloader.loadclass(unknown Source) at sun.plugin2.applet.plugin2classloader.loadclass(unknown Source) at java.lang.classloader.loadclass(unknown Source) 6 Mitel

In Safari 5.0, Firefox (all supported versions), and Internet Explorer 9, the maximum number is 100 calls. If more calls are in a queue than the specified maximum, the client application performance is impacted, some calls may not be displayed, and/or some queue functionality may become inoperable. Call Center depends on the browser s capabilities for some of its functions. o Full Screen In Chrome, both the main window and Dashboard can be launched in fullscreen mode at the same time. In Internet Explorer and Firefox, either the main window or the Dashboard can be displayed in full-screen mode, but not both. In Firefox, Call Center exits from full-screen mode when it loses focus. o Quick Link Navigation In Chrome, it is not possible to navigate to the main interface from the Dashboard by clicking an agent or queue link. However, the main window performs the required actions in the Agents directory and the Queue panel for the agent quick link and the queue quick link respectively. In Internet Explorer 8, Internet Explorer 9, and Firefox 10 through 15, navigation to the main window from the Dashboard using quick links do not work if another tab is opened in the same browser window as the Call Center is in focus.
