# What's New in This Release

## Release 7.0

Also see: List of topics that have been changed/added for Release 7.0.

### New Features

- Technology Alignment for NuPoint UM Release 7.0:

- - Browser Support: The Web Console and Web View interfaces have been tested and verified with Internet Explorer 11, Mozilla Firefox versions 3.5 to 24.0, Google Chrome 29.0.1547, and Safari 7.

  - Operating System Support: The Web Console and Web View interfaces and the OCP and Fax Printer applications have been tested and verified with Windows Vista, 7, 8 and 8.1. The Web View interface has been tested and verified with Apple OS X version 10.9.

- Advanced UM Enhancements:

- - The mail server adapters (IMAP and MAPI) are supported on Microsoft Exchange 2013.

  - The Outlook Client Plug-in (OCP) is supported on Microsoft Outlook 2013 (32- and 64-bit).

  - Integration with Microsoft Office 365 over an IMAP connection with support for up to 500 Advanced UM users. In this setup, users are required to access their accounts individually rather than through a superuser account. As a result, they must update their Advanced UM email password whenever they change their email client password.

  - Configurable IP port option for hosted Microsoft Exchange servers.

- Call Director Enhancements:

- - Tooltip help has been added to the Call Flow buttons, dropdown menus, and actions. When a user hovers over an item, a small pop-up window will appear containing a brief overview and usage instructions. The user can click a link within the window to open a help topic containing relevant, detailed information.

  - In the Web Console, pressing the Help icon brings up the help topic pertaining to the current screen.

  - Call Flows may now be printed.

  - Each Message and Menu action in a Call Flow requires an audio recording. It is now possible to Record Messages by having the system call your extension using "Call Me" functionality. Previously, if you wanted to record a message, you would have to call in to your NuPoint voice mailbox, log in, and press the * key to access the Call Director TUI.

  - Call Director now supports time zone offsets (set during Mailbox configuration) for personal call flows containing weekly and holiday Schedules. Note that line group call flows cannot take advantage of this feature because they always use the system time zone.

- Distribution List with Import/Export Feature: This feature facilitates management of Distribution Lists. A list can be exported as a CSV file, modified in an editor such as OpenOffice Calc, and then imported back into the system. This functionality is available only on the Web Console for administrators with mailbox update privileges. It is not available in the Text Console or Web View.

- Integration with MiVoice Enterprise Manager (EMAN): EMAN can now be used to manage NuPoint UM backups. To support this change, the naming structure for backup files has been changed to dbsave_<Node Name>_<Release Version>_<Timestamp>.tar. Restores can be performed using both the old and new file formats.

- - EMAN supports the discovery of NuPoint UM as a standalone application and as a component of MiCollab. Also, when you deploy NuPoint manually, EMAN will prompt you to specify whether this is a standalone or MiCollab system.

  - EMAN supports alarm integration with SNMPv3, in addition to SNMPv1 and SNMPv2, for all supported applications including NuPoint UM. This feature requires configuration of SNMP settings in the MSL Server Manager.

  - The NuPoint UM audit trail files may now be transfer to EMAN. When the files reach 80% capacity, an alarm will be issued. When they reach 100% capacity, the audit trail logs will be sent to EMAN. This feature requires configuration of SNMP settings in the MSL Server Manager and Auto Backup FTP settings (EMAN server address) in the NuPoint Web Console. If these configuration steps are not completed, audit trail logs will continue to be available only through the print dialog and CSV file download.

- Most of the Mitel product portfolio has been rebranded. These changes are reflected as follows on the NuPoint UM interface:

### System Improvements (with Mitel Standard Linux R10.1)

- M itel Standard Linux (MSL) Support: NuPoint Release 7.0 is supported with MSL Release 10.1 (32-bit version only).

- OAuth 2.0 Service Accounts: Advanced UM now supports OAuth version 2.0 authentication with service accounts for Google Apps over IMAP connections. Since support for OAuth 1.0 has been deprecated by Google, administrators should transition to OAuth 2.0 at the earliest opportunity.

- IPv6 N etworking enhancements:

- - The new "IPv6-in-IPv4 Tunnel" screen can be used encapsulate IPv6 packets in an IPv4 tunnel, enabling isolated IPv6 hosts and networks to reach each other over the internet.

  - The "Local Networks" screen has been renamed "Networks." It can be used to add trusted networks and routes in IPv4 and IPv6 format using dot-decimal or CIDR notation for subnetting.

  - It is now possible to configure remote access and secure shell (SSH) settings for both IPv6 and IPv4 networks.

  - It is now possible to specify the default gateway address in IPv6 or IPv4 format when the system is originally installed.

- Event/alarm notification: The header bar of the MSL server manager contains an Alarm Status label which indicates the severity level of the most serious system alarm. For example, if the system has a service-affecting fault, the label will display "Minor" with a yellow background. Clicking the label opens the MSL Event Viewer.
