• LED pattern is added specifically for RC status in SPA122-RC to allow users to view and monitor the RC process.
• The SIP parameter “Hook Flash MIME Type” is set to application/broadsoft, so that the Metaswitch server recognizes the flashhook event.
• Add a new parameter “Feature Key Sync” for FXS. The default value is no.
  This parameter enables synchronization of DND and CFWD (forward all, forward busy, and forward no answer) settings between ATA and the proxy server. Any change in the fields on the ATA is notified to the proxy and vice versa.

Behavior During Times of Network Congestion

Anything that degrades network performance can affect voice and video quality, and in some cases, can cause a call to drop. Sources of network degradation can include, but are not limited to, the following activities:

• Administrative tasks, such as an internal port scan or security scan
• Attacks that occur on your network, such as a Denial of Service attack

To reduce or eliminate any adverse effects to the devices, schedule administrative network tasks during a time when the devices are not being used or exclude the devices from testing.
