Call Pickup
Call pickup allows users to accept a call that is ringing on someone else's phone by dialing a special code. Call pickup is possible within zones defined in Kerio Operator.
Directed Call pickup allows users to take a call that rings on any extension on the same Kerio Operator server, even across zones. They just need to know the extension number.
Analog Line Support
Kerio Operator 1.2 now supports Digium TDM410 card with FXO modules to connect to analog phone lines. Wherever the connection quality or SIP availability is limited, the analog connection enables the users to use all of the advanced IP PBX features of Kerio Operator internally and to connect to the outside world in the old-fashioned way. Up-to four analog lines are supported with Digium TDM410 card.
Busy Lamp Field Support
BLF stands for "Busy Lamp Field" and similarly to status indications in instant messaging clients like ICQ or Jabber, it informs about the status of other extensions.
Thus, the user immediately knows whether a particular extension is available, busy or there is a call ringing. The status is indicated through set of LED lamps on phones which support BLF.
BLF is useful particularly for receptionists. It is often used with call pickup to accept phone calls that ring on other extensions.
Improved Call Forwarding
Call forwarding now works better in situations where a user has several extensions. Until Kerio Operator 1.2, a user's forwarding configuration was applied to all his extensions, which was, in some cases, inconvenient. Now, it is possible to use one forwarding setup for extension in the office and a different one for the home extension. In connection with this, voice-mail can be enabled individually on a per-extension basis.
New Linux Kernel
The Linux kernel in Kerio Operator has been upgraded to new version 2.6.38. The new kernel will significantly improve Kerio Operator's support for new hardware like new motherboards with integrated network interfaces.
Auto-Provisioning Support for New Phones
We have added support for several new SIP phones from Snom and Linksys. For a full list of models supported in auto-provisioning see the
Technical Specifications page
Upgrade to Asterisk 1.8
Kerio Operator 1.2 is based on the latest stable version of Asterisk 1.8. It promises the best support and new features implemented in Kerio Operator in the future.
Other Improvements
In addition, we have implemented transliteration of national characters to ASCII. Thus names with special characters are displayed correctly on phones where this was not the the case in the past. Newly supported are server-side speed dial shortcuts. These are used for defining shortcuts to most dialled numbers for all users centrally.
