Resolved Issues You are not able to export an IVR menu when there are extensions with 6 digits. When you are on an active call from the PSTN to a digital line with inbound or outbound Automatic Call Recording enabled, an attempt to place the call on hold from the digital line fails. When you have disabled the mobile notification timeout in the Call Handling and Forwarding section of your online account, the softphone does not properly use the hard phone timeout. If you define a custom answering rule with a time interval that spans over midnight, that rule incorrectly remains effective for two days, rather than a single day. When you download a file in your online account to edit your Active Directory extension numbers, all the fields are grayed out and you cannot edit the required fields. You cannot update the hold music in your online account when you configure an After Hours schedule. When you have configured incorrect call forwarding rules, a meaningful error message is not displayed. All desktop phones have a Message Waiting Indicator feature: if you have unread voicemail a light indicator turns on. But on softphones that functionality is not supported. The Message Waiting Indicator is not turned on by default during a device replacement from a softphone to a hard phone. Message Waiting Indicator states are incorrect after forwarding a VM message from one phone to another. The music on hold is unexpectedly interrupted and restarts playing when the caller dials digits.
Known Issues Japanese characters may not be displayed properly on certain Cisco and Polycom phone models Japanese characters and length may not be displayed properly when using the intercom and page function from a desk phone.
