Efficiency Enhancements
Conferencing on ARIA Touch
ARIA Touch new conference call feature allows the user to create calls in which they can talk to several people at the same time. The interface is fast and simple to use and is identical to the UX on the AYRE dealerboard, ensuring users can switch between hard and soft clients with ease.
Official support for (Chromium-based) Microsoft Edge for iManager
iManager Centralised management system (iCMS) now supports Microsoft’s latest web browser.
The edge browser offers speed, performance, best-in-class compatibility for websites and extensions, and built-in privacy and security features.
The update removes the "unsupported browser" when iManager is viewed in the Microsoft Edge browser (for Chromium-based versions onwards). The (Chromium-based) Edge browser is now added to the ongoing testing plans.
ARIA Emergency Calls Warning
To comply with local laws ARIA now displays a notification that the ARIA Soft Client does not support Enhanced Emergency Calling and initiated calls and will not include correct location information for the user.
E911 - Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP)

Pair SE 708 Devices
Two SE708 user profiles can now be paired and the dipping/muting extends across two SE 708s or iD808 with additional SE 708 – the feature increases the total speaker channels available which offer local dipping/muting across two devices and is ideal for heavy speaker users.
This feature builds upon the Local Dipping with Paired Users enjoyed by iTurret iD808 users. Learn more in our video: https://youtu.be/f4fzjLfCgco
Security & Engineering Enhancements
Resolve QID 82054: TCP Sequence Number Approximation Based Denial of Service - iD808/iG330
TCP provides stateful communications between hosts on a network. TCP sessions are established by a three-way handshake and use random 32-bit sequences and acknowledgement numbers to ensure the validity of traffic. A vulnerability was reported that may permit TCP sequence numbers to be more easily approximated by remote attackers.
The fix has been developed, tested and released.
Removal of SUDO package from iGS
The removal of unnecessary packages and SUDO has been identified for removal. The removal of these packages does not affect iGS operation and enhances the security of the platform.
Increased the number of SNMP server destinations to 20 on iG330
To support monitoring tools on large estates the number of SNMP destinations has been increased to 20.
Speakerbus Servers/Devices to return Speakerbus OID and device type when polled
OID is commonly used to determine the vendor/device. An enhancement to the SNMP structure now delivers the Speakerbus OID for Servers/Devices type when polled with an SNMP request.
Support node.js V12 (minimum) on iGS
In preparation for the official Speakerbus Symphony Marketplace application, the node.js version has been updated. Client iGS installations will need to be updated to use the upcoming ARIA and Symphony integration (once marketplace application is officially released).
Support for SQL Server 2019
The iManager Centralised Management Server (iCMS) database has been updated to install and run on Microsoft’s flagship product SQL Server 2019. This update allows clients to take advantage of the additional capability and improvements within the SQL Server database engine.
Support TCP for SIP traffic in iG330
iCS has been updated to support both TCP and UDP for SIP, with the option to prevent UDP from being used if required within the estate.
SNMP v3 on iD712, SB-97 SNMP v3 on SE708, SB-73 SNMP V3 on iG330
SNMPv3 is the newest version of SNMP. Its management framework features primarily involve enhanced security over the older SNMP previously in place. The v3 framework has been added to the iD712, SE 708 and iG330.
iDUCX MAC Address range configurable by Cloudbase
This new feature allows clients the ability to allocate MAC Addresses by region. The feature allows clients to identify which devices are being created in which region. Improving reporting clarity and the tracking of assets.
Group Call Logging Line from SIP call
This development allows the iCS to attach a static line into a group call to provide a group call audio feed to third-party systems. This feature was popular on our legacy platform and was requested by several clients.
