snom is releasing a new UC Edition (Lync) firmware 8.8.1.1 BETA for partners, customers and system integrators to test.

coming…

 

FEATURE: Assign Lync Contacts to Buttons Right on the Phone

When on a Lync contact select “Fkeys” to assign one.

Select Button/Fkey on the Phone you want to assign this key to….

Select the Function.

Voila.

FEATURE: Contact/BLF Buttons Now Labeled

The contact name and presence state labels the buttons.

FEATURE: Music On Hold from IP Phone

MOH seems pretty straight forward, just use standard Lync powershell (CSClientPolicy) to enable music on hold.

Note: Limitation in this Version: Replacing the media file on the device with a custom file is not possible

FEATURE: Managing Firmware Updates from Lync Server 2010

(I suspect for anyone that used snomtastic the below screenshot is a welcome sight. )

This is not a complete list of new features, but just some features I called out.  I did not test features and Please note this is BETA FW, but if you want to test it out, get your snom login and head over to the snom user portal.

NOTE: You do need a partner, customer or integrator login to access this BETA firmware.
