Aastra releases major firmware update to the Aastralink PRO 160

Aastra Announces Firmware Release 1.2 for AastraLink Pro 160â„¢ IP-PBX Key System

Release 1.2 offers a number of significant feature enhancements to the AastraLink Pro 160 that create a powerful and compelling IP Key System delivering enterprise PBX features for the small business market of 25 users or less.

Highlights of Release 1.2 include:

Shared Line Appearances (FXO ports only)

• The Term "Shared Line Appearance" (SLA) refers to the functionality of having a line appearance on a phone that maps to a FXO line similar to a traditional key system. Phones connected to the AastraLink Pro 160 which have SLA lines configured will indicate when a FXO line is in use, on hold or available
• The AastraLink Pro 160 allows the administrator to program individual FXO lines as SLA. This gives the AastraLink Pro 160 the flexibility to run in SLA (Key system) mode, Pooled (PBX) line mode or Mixed line mode

Shared extension support for an additional generic SIP device or Aastra SIP Phone

• Allows the pairing of an additional Aastra SIP Phone or another vendor SIP compliant device, such as a SIP softphone or SIP ATA to an existing AastraLink Pro 160 registered user account

Aastra MBU 400 SIP-DECT product integration

• Integration of the Aastra MBU 400 SIP-DECT solution which was launched last week

Custom Single Digit IVR

• Changes have been made to the Auto attendant that allow the administrator the ability to assign a function such as dial operator, transfer to vmail, dial ring group, etc... to a single key press value between 0 and 9 plus * and #. The administrator may also fully customize the menu announcements played to callers

FXO Auto tuning Wizard

• The AastraLink Pro 160 has the ability to perform an auto tuning of the FXO port. The system will prompt and guide the user to perform this as part of the initial system configuration

Your AastraLink Pro must be running 1.1p1 b21 firmware or newer before upgrading to 1.2 firmware. It is essential that you backup your AastraLink Pro prior to upgrading it.
