# What's New in this Release?

## Release 4.1

### System Improvements

- Improved Hardware Support Architecture: Legacy systems required installers to choose one of five separate platform setup blades. Release 4.1 provides one NPUMPlatform Setup blade that inspects system parameters during installation and automatically selects the correct platform setup.

- Offline Verify Requirement Removed: Offline Verify as a maintenance tool is no longer required. NuPoint UM Release 4.1 introduces automatic system maintenance (no configuration or programming required).

- Maximum number of messages per mailbox increased to 200: the previous limit of 73 messages per mailbox is increased to 200. Most default values are also now set to 200. Note: When upgrading, LCOS limits retain their original default settings (that is, the limits will not automatically increase - you can configure higher values if required).

### Documentation Improvements

- The NuPoint UM System Administration Help (at E-docs) has been updated and expanded to include both Text Console and Web Console instructions.

- The NuPoint UM Web Console help (in the software) has been updated with overview information for all NuPoint UM features, and "how-to" procedures for all Web Console tasks.

### New Features

- IP Connectivity for PMS: Until now, PMS integrations required serial port connections or serial-to-IP converters. NuPoint UM 4.1 provides a direct IP connection for PMS systems integrated with NuPoint Standard or NuPoint 640 Single Server platforms (only). In the past, NuPoint UM required that PMS serial connectivity be restricted to COM2. NuPoint UM Release 4.1 introduces COM1 connectivity for PMS. See the PMS optional feature for information.

- Microsoft 2010 Exchange Server Support:

- - Messages replicated from Advanced UM will now have a message ID in the subject line (for example, "Voice message for John Doe nupointmsgid 268476712"). Note: When upgrading to NuPoint UM Release 4.1, messages that have already been replicated to Exchange or Domino mail servers are replicated again to the user's Inbox but they do not maintain synchronization with the original voice mail and are treated as regular email messages.

  - The MAPI Gateway software has been modified to enable subject line searches for message IDs. MAPI Gateway users will need to upgrade MAPI software before upgrading to NuPoint Release 4.1.

  - The Outlook Client Plug-in (OCP) has also been updated to accommodate subject line searches. Plug-in users will need to upgrade their OCP software before upgrading to NuPoint Release 4.1.

  - With NuPoint UM Release 4.1 and MS Exchange 2010, it is no longer necessary to use the UMProX application to register X-headers in the Exchange mailbox database.

- BlackBerry Enterprise Server (BES) Support: In addition to Microsoft Exchange mail server support, NuPoint UM now supports BlackBerry users who connect to Lotus Domino mail servers. UM mailbox programming and Web View Personal Settings now include specific configuration to enable BlackBerry users.

- Support for Active Directory 2008: NuPoint UM Release 4.1 supports Active Directory 2008.

- Centralized Media Service and Variable Packet Rate Support: NuPoint UM Release 4.1 introduces a centralized media service that provides improved RTP streaming support to all MiNET and SIP channels in the NuPoint server. In the past, NuPoint UM only supported G.711 with a fixed packet rate of 20 milliseconds. Release 4.1 introduces configuration for variable packet rate for interworking with SIP endpoints connected via the Mitel 3300 ICP. Note: Variable Packet Rate is not supported for SIP connectivity to the Mitel 5000 CP, or Digital Media Gateway (formerly PIMG/TIMG).

- Windows Server 2008 Support for MAPI Gateway: NuPoint UM Release 4.1 supports Win Server 2008 Standard or Enterprise (32-bit version) for MAPI Gateway.

- Internet Explorer 8 Support: The NuPoint UM Web Console and Web View applications now support IE8 for Windows 7. Note: IE8 support does not extend to the Outlook Client Plug-in or Print-to-Fax applications.

- Speech-to-Text Transcription: You can enable text transcription of voice messages for all Standard and/or Advanced UM users.

### New Hardware

- NuPoint UM Single Server 640 (formerly 640E) is now supported on the Hewlett-Packard DL380 G6 server. See the NuPoint UM Engineering Guidelines for hardware specifications.
