3.8.1 What's New in Version 2.0.5
Better Together over Ethernet (BToE):
• Lets users pair their AudioCodes IP phone with their Microsoft Lync client on their PC or
laptop, over Ethernet, and from their PC or laptop control phone operations such as answer
incoming calls, make outgoing calls (click-to-dial), hold and resume calls, and initiate/join an
online meeting or Lync conference using their Lync client.
• Allows mirroring of each call on both the AudioCodes IP phone and the PC, so that calls can
be controlled from either the IP phone or the PC, adding substantial value to AudioCodes
unified communications.
• Allows the phone to be automatically signed in (from the PC client, after you set the pair code
and then your Password in the Lync PC client login).
• Functions even when phone and PC are in different subnets. The 'lync/BToE/CheckNetwork'
parameter, when set to 0 (default), enables this. Users who used the previous BToE version
must set this parameter to 0 in the configuration file.
The key sequence for call transfer was modified. In previous versions, the TRANSFER key on the
device was used to perform a blind transfer - the established call was not put on hold before
transferring. In the current release, the TRANSFER key on the device is used to perform attended
transfer - the established call is put on hold in order to transfer the call. Blind transfer is performed
using the Call Menu softkey. See the User's Manual for details. (95518).
• Note: Semi-attended transfer using the TRANSFER key on the phone is disabled by default in
order to avoid confusion. To enable it, the 'system/semi_attended/enable' parameter can be
set to 1 (can be added to global.cfg).
802.1X Authentication. IEEE Standard for Port-based Network Access Control (PNAC). Part of
