3Com NBX Networked Telephony Systems, NBX R6.0.14 Release Notes
License Backup Enhancement ¯ A system's license keys are now automatically included in a system
configuration backup, eliminating the need to manage this step independently.
SNMP ¯ NBX R6.0 supports the Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMPv1, SNMPv2c, and
SNMPv3) for remote fault notification and performance monitoring.
Supervisory Monitoring ¯ NBX R6.0 includes these Supervisory Monitoring enhancements:
Monitoring of all types of calls — Incoming, outgoing, and non-ACD calls can be monitored.
o
Simplified monitoring — New "domains" define logical groupings. A Privacy List lets you specify
o
users, Hunt groups, ACDs, or TAPI Route Points that cannot be monitored.
Call privacy — If the NBX Administrator assigns a user to a CoS group that allows Call Privacy,
o
the user can prevent a current call from being monitored.
Enhanced security — The NBX admin log is updated whenever the NBX administrator enables or
o
disables supervisory monitoring system-wide, when a domain is added, modified, or deleted, or
when someone attempts to view domain reports or monitor another user using the wrong
password.
WhisperPage ¯ The WhisperPage feature allows you to dial an NBX extension that is involved in a
conversation with another person and speak to the extension owner without the other party on the call
being able to hear you.
Camp On with Call Transfer ¯ A user can queue a transferred call to a destination extension that is
already in use.
Camp On Direct ¯ You can initiate Camp On to directly queue a call on to a destination extension that is
in use or busy.
Automatic Callback ¯ A user can request a call back from a destination extension that is in use or
unanswered.
Syslog Support ¯ The Syslog protocol provides a transport mechanism that allows a device to send
event notification messages across an IP network to a server that acts as an event message collector.
New File System ¯ The new file system is more robust in the event of an unexpected system shutdown,
more versatile, and easily upgradeable to support future improvements. New V3000 Analog, V3000 BRI-
ST, and V3001R systems that ship from the factory with R6.0 or higher run the new file system. NBX
systems running a system software version earlier than R6.0 continue to use the older file system after
upgrading to R6.0. A new field on the NBX NetSet System Settings page indicates the file system version
that is in use.
Periodic Timestamp on Console (HyperTerminal) ¯ The PTOC feature sends a timestamp to the NBX
system console port at an interval you set. If the system experiences a problem, the timestamp messages
appear in any data capture taken from the console port, providing an approximate time when the problem
occurred.
Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) ¯ SNTP provides an automated method of synchronizing the
time and date of an NBX system with a central network time server.
Wideband Audio ¯ Wideband audio extends the frequency range of call audio for internal and VTL calls,
which results in a more natural and intelligible conversation. Wideband audio allows users in digital end-
to-end networks to experience speech quality that approaches face-to-face communication. Wideband
