The IP Office Manager application version 4.1(15) s/w provides much improved merge capabilities for Users and HuntGroups.
This s/w is provided on the IP Office 2.1 Administration CD or can be downloaded from IP Office Software Download.
Previous releases of the IP Office Manager Application [i.e. 4.0(xx) or 3.4(xx)] do NOT support full merging of Users and Hunt Groups parameters. As a consequence these versions of Manager should NOT be used to Download and Merge configurations
obtained from (Control) Units running version 2.1(15) s/w or above.
To ensure that the full range of features supported by the IP Office and it’s associated applications are available to the customer you must ensure that all aspects of the System, from Phone Modules, through (Control) Units , manager Application to Wizards etc are all
at the same base level of software.
Therefore to successfully configure (or re-configure) an IP Office (Control) Unit (Small Office Edition, IP403, IP406 or IP412) running version 2.1(xx) software, you are required to use the corresponding base version of the IP Office Manager application (version 4.1(15)). Failure to do so may result in corrupted configurations being sent to the IP Office (Control) Unit.
For further instructions on how to update your IP Office software; please consult the IP Office R2.1 Technical Bulletin: IP Office Release 2.1 Technical Bulletin
