Key ESC-1572 Biz Phone Mitel Call Server: Call Park gives a "Transfer failed" error when it didn't fail. Mitel has documented this error under defect number MN00395831. The Call Park feature is still functional, but it is giving feedback that the transfer had failed, when it did not. APPS3369 Biz Phone If you have an LTE phone and do not have a SIM card in it then sometimes the phone can't get your location when SAFE wants to send an alert via WebAPI. However, we do not believe that any customer uses an LTE phones without a SIM. ATM-1322 Logging Logging is not supported across metered connections. Since some VPN connections may be considered metered, be aware that Logging may not be possible in some situations. ESC-1569 PTT Upgrade SAM 1.2 to 1.4 impacted PTT Default Channel Setting unexpectedly. Fix by ESC-1534 the admin taking control of the setting when upgrading from SAM 1.4 to SAM 1.5 set the value to "Disabled" and set the desired value.

Various elements were corrected and the whole system was made more robust to support every APN. Diagnostic app no longer crashes when accessory test is selected. Hot swap uses an internal secondary battery that sometimes needs a minute to wake up when the phone is turned off or asleep. Too much sudden demand may result in failure. Therefore, Spectralink recommends these best practices for using Hot swap: If device is asleep: 1. Wake the device from sleep if it was sitting with the screen off, wait 30 seconds, 2. press power button to turn the screen off, wait 3-5 seconds, then 3. perform the hotswap with the screen off.

New Features Versity 95/96 Series and Android 10 Version 2.1 marks the release of Android 10 OS for Versity 95/96 models. All Spectralink applications have been brought up to Android 10 standards. All security updates for Android 10 are included. Network sharing via QR code Android 10 smartphones can produce QR codes that provide network access to other smartphones. Clearly this could be an unwanted feature in an enterprise environment. Therefore, Spectralink removed ability to produce such a QR code while retaining the ability to join a network from code provided by the administrator. MAC Randomization MAC Randomization is a mechanism that uses a random MAC address when scanning networks and with each new connection. In the consumer world it is desirable because it increases privacy since a device can no longer be tracked by seeing its MAC address during RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 24 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software normal Wi-Fi discovery and connection. In the Enterprise world, many systems rely on having a unique MAC address per device, and MAC Randomization is not desirable. Therefore, Spectralink has disabled MAC Randomization in its Android 10 products and the phone menu to enable it. With MAC Randomization disabled, systems can rely on seeing the "real HW MAC address" when connecting to a Wi-Fi network. For added privacy, Versity 95/96 still randomizes the MAC address used to scan the network when that scan is initiated by a third-party application (those scans do not result in a connection, but simply report to the app what Wi-Fi Access Points are detected). New Android 10 UI features The UI conforms with Android 10 standards including gestures, dark mode, and many other features and enhancements. For instance, here's what dark mode looks like on Spectralink smartphone apps: Light mode Dark mode Barcode Advanced Data Formatting added to ScanFlex. AP-7408 Added Barcode UI to the phone. (update from R1.8). AP-4892 Batt Life Rename Dashboard as Batt Life. RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 25 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software To maintain consistency between apps, the "Dashboard" in Batt Life now uses the Batt Life name.

AP-4624 Remote reboot option When an administrator wants a remote phone to be rebooted by the user, the Admin reboot command can be used from SAM or an EMM. The reboot can be configured to start remotely either on a schedule or the next time the phone is connected to power. A reboot can be activated immediately by these three methods to activate the reboot: On SAM, click the Trigger Reboot button On an EMM, enter a string in the Reboot command ID field. Use a different string for each reboot. For an individual use on a local phone simply use the Restart option on the power menu. RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 27 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software Sounds Allows an administrator to select the types of sounds that are permitted for each sound category and change the default sound for each. Diagnostics Under the direction of Spectralink Support personnel, the Diagnostics app allows an administrator to quickly and efficiently perform diagnostic tests prior to considering RMA. This app is designed for use in coordination with Spectralink support personnel. Please contact your support representative for assistance. Android Nearby Share Android Nearby Share feature is now used to transfer contacts. Logging Two ways to view logs without setting up a server. WLAN logging settings is a new button which can be used to capture continuous logging immediately to the phone's SD card. From there you can USB connect to phone and view the logs. It is disabled by default and is not designed to provide continual logging information as it is not a secure method. AP-7330, AP-5169 Web Access is a new button for accessing logs when needed for troubleshooting. Enable Web access in Web API and click WLAN Logging and see the file link in the browser window and download from there. Sound Stage Sound Stage enables administrators and users to control the various system and application volume levels in the form of profiles. It can be fully or partially controlled by SAM or an EMM. Each profile contains the volume levels for system settings (alarm/media/ringer/in-call) and app settings (WebAPI/PTT/Batt Life). There are 4 predefined profiles (Normal/Loud/Soft/Silent) that can be configured up via SAM. The administrator or user can configure the app to tell the phone when a particular profile should be applied (e.g, you can say you want the Silent profile from 6pm-9am and then the normal profile from 9am-6pm). Sound Stage provides NFC options to scan and associate NFC tags to a profile. When configured, profiles can be switched by tapping the phone to something like a badge on the door of a conference room--a very handy way to switch to a silent profile when you enter the meeting room. VoLTE/VoWiFi Versity LTE (models 9640/9653 only) now support Telstra (Australian carrier). RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 28 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software Revert to 1.8 We also provide a mechanism to revert to R1.8 should a customer really need to do so. Every phone must be touched to and restore them to default, so it is not designed to be anything but a last resort measure.

These issues were observed only rarely and only in automated test conditions and should not be seen in a controlled environment. However, please alert Spectralink support should this issue arise. Toggles issue Airplane mode and Wi-Fi toggles. Infrequently, the toggle will not re-enable Wi-Fi. Since users are not expected to use this feature often this will not occur. However, the workaround is to use SAM or EMM to disable these tiles. Although this is an infrequently-occurring issue, in a few customer scenarios and without warning, when Wi-Fi is toggled off and on, (such as via user action using Wi-Fi quick settings tiles, or using Airplane mode or other method) Wi-Fi does not come back on and will not recover without rebooting the phone . In many enterprise-settings, however, users may be prevented from toggling Wi-Fi by administrators through EMM or SAM administration settings. RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 29 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software Wi-Fi issue A device might detect an unrecoverable Wi-Fi issue and if so, will prompt the user to reboot the device. Observed rarely. Although the Wi-Fi issue was observed rarely and only in test (not actual use) situations, Spectralink feels due warning is needed. Should an unrecoverable Wi-Fi issue occur, the phone must be rebooted. Simply reboot the phone to recover Wi-Fi connection. This notification will be seen: or Sound Stage app issues · Some strings in the application are only displayed in English, regardless of the phone's language setting. · A Beam/Write tag must support Ndef technology. · Viewing Settings while the phone is controlled by SAM or an EMM may cause an application exception. · The profile switch rules are only not configurable when using SAM or EMM. Diagnostics app issues · The fingerprint sensor is not displayed in the button test. · This issue is a consequence of the Diagnostics app, but it's seen in the Android Contacts app: Bumping two devices together in the Contacts app launches the Diagnostics app. RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 30 Chapter 6: Versity Software R1.8.0.1255 This release includes these software versions: · Handset version: 1.8.0.1255 · SAM version: Any post-1.0.x release supports the new parameters in Versity 1.8.0.1255 except as indicated. Later SAM releases support additional parameters. Your Spectralink support representative will guide you through software release installations as needed. Settings: Updating Versity to the current release This release can be used to update any Versity currently running R1.0.0.784 or later. It is posted on the Spectralink Support website in two different file types-- incremental files and a full file. An incremental release is a much smaller file with a faster download time and recommended for more efficient updates. Use the appropriate incremental file for your current release, for example for updating from R1.4.0.1124 to 1.8.0.1255 use file apollo-ota_update-signed1.4.0.1124-to-1.8.0.1255.zip. An incremental update file to R1.8.0.1255 has been provided for phones currently running R1.6 and any out-of-the-factory version. If an incremental update file is not available for your starting version, use the full OTA update file. If your Versity smartphones are running an earlier version than R1.0, please contact your Spectralink support representative for instructions on how to get on the latest version. Note: Screenshots in this release Screenshots of features introduced in this release may be shown with Engineering code wallpaper. Final code will have the familiar Versity wallpaper. New Features Barcode Service This release extends barcode functionality with the introduction of ScanFlex adding profile creation, data manipulation and custom intent capability. RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 31 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software Barcode options The following options are available for Barcode service. Some of these may be configured through the current release of SAM but all of them are available for configuration using an EMM. General Decode session timeout Vibrate on scan Sound on scan Tone to play on scan Illumination power Data manipulation Automatic carriage return *Automatic Tab *Trim barcode data *Strip characters from left *Strip characters from right *Enable AIM codes or symbol id *Prepend string *Append string Custom intent settings *Intent delivery method *Intent category *Intent action *Zebra emulation (for custom intents) Time between button press and scanning a label Enable or disable Vibrate on scan Enable or disable Sound on scan Select a tone to play on a scan Select Illumination power between 0 and 10 Add an Enter event at the end of the injection of barcode value Add a Tab event at the end of the injection of barcode value Remove leading and trailing whitespaces from barcode value Number of characters to be stripped from the left of the screen Number of characters to be stripped from the right of the screen Prefixes AIM code or Symbol id before data String to prepend to scanned barcode data String to append to scanned barcode data Choose intent delivery method Enter intent category Enter intent action Enable or Disable Zebra Emulation mode * Available in the next release of SAM ScanFlex The Spectralink Barcode service has been significantly expanded with ScanFlex, a new feature that allows the Spectralink Barcode service to support custom data manipulation for individual applications. When the barcode application is configured via an EMM's application configuration capability, the EMM allows an administrator to configure all barcode service and Scanflex settings. Applications using barcode service are grouped into "Profiles" which contain the exact package name(s) provided by the app developer(s). Within each profile the admin can enable required symbologies and configure custom data manipulation settings. When the given app is identified in the foreground, the barcode scanner will only scan the symbologies that have been programmed for that identified app. Custom intents are available for and used by ScanFlex to provide additional specificity. The Barcode service requires that the third-party application be in foreground for custom intents to function. Some common intent delivery methods are: · Start another Activity, RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 32 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software · Start Service, · Start Foreground Service · Send Broadcast Custom intents and keyboard emulation will use the manipulated barcode data. Note: ScanFlex availability As of Versity R1.8, ScanFlex is not supported on the current release (R1.2) of SAM. It is currently available for facilities using an EMM for configuring applications and/or services. VoLTE/VoWiFi Versity LTE (models 9640/9653 only) now support Telia, Telenor, and TDC. Telia/Telenor See Spectralink Versity Smartphone LTE Carrier Interoperability Guide. TDC When using TDC national carrier, update the TDC modem file setting to a DNS name instead of IP address.

General Enhancements EMM interface The Google-recommended OEMConfig Enhanced Schema is implemented on five Spectralink apps: Barcode, Buttons, Device Settings, Logging, and VQO. The Enhanced Schema allows for better organization of app config items through a hierarchical structure instead of a single list. RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 35 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software There is a one-time action, completed by the EMM admin, of re-configuring the respective OEMConfig app in the EMM console with this update to the Play Store. Only these OEMConfig apps are affected and an EMM admin only needs to take action if app config is pushed from an EMM to the app. If SAM is used, no action is required. Prior to an EMM admin re-configuring the respective OEMConfig app in the EMM console, previous settings will still be honored and app behavior will remain consistent with the previous release. There are two scenarios in which the EMM admin must take this action before continuing: 1 A new Versity enrollment (either a new device or a re-enrollment) 2 An admin wants to either change an existing app config item or configure a new app config item introduced in this release AP-4103, AP-4102, AP-4101, AP-3853, AP-3852 Proximity sensor Versity has a proximity sensor at the top right. When this sensor is blocked, the phone screen is black. The sensor is normally blocked by the face when the earpiece is used to listen to a caller. In other words, the screen is black when in call and the earpiece is being used to listen. If the phone just seems to go black when not in a call for no apparent reason, the user may be covering the sensor with a finger or paper or something else that blocks light. Instead of presenting just a blank black screen, the phone will now display a message "Close proximity detected". If there is no apparent blockage, clean the area of the sensor. RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 36 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software Quick tiles are configurable The user/administrator now has the option to select which quick tiles are available. These are set in the Device Settings app menu and may be controlled by SAM or an EMM. The quick tiles display only includes the allowed tiles. The user can select which ones appear. If tiles are disabled and then re-enabled, the user will need to tap the edit pencil to open the edit window and tap/drag tiles back to the quick tiles window.

It allows sharing one Versity smartphone among RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 40 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software multiple users where each user has a unique extension and credentials on the PBX which are also configured in the identity management solution. The first certified solution is Imprivata's IMDA app. The app is programmed with each user's credentials and the user is issued an NFC identity card which is used to logon. Versity displays the Imprivata sign-on screen at startup which prompts the user to use the badge to sign on. Upon a successful NFC bump, the Versity SSO app retrieves the user's PBX extension and password from MDA and writes it to the Biz Phone app. The phone registers with the user's SIP extension and the Biz Phone successful registration icon appears. When the user logs out, the user's credentials are removed and the connection to SIP is disabled. E-1221, A-2198 AMiE Agent AMiE stands for Advanced Mobile Intelligence for Enterprise, an analytics tool developed by Spectralink to support Spectralink smartphones. The AMiE Agent application is the first part of the AMiE release package. It resides on the smartphone and collects key metrics for proactive monitoring and alerting. When the soon-to-be-released AMiE Analytics software is installed and activated, the AMiE agent forwards metrics such as battery status and device status, performance, and utilization to the AMiE Analytics system which parses the information and presents it in a GUI interface for real-time system monitoring and management. The AMiE Agent is installed as an application with Versity R1.7 but is designed to operate with the AMiE Analytics software. It should be kept in a disabled state until the entire AMiE system is purchased and installed. New Features Barcode Symbology identification methods, etc. Versity models 9553 and 9653 have an integrated barcode reader. In some facilities, the symbology that generates the resulting information must be identified by name or code as part of the symbology capture. With this release, Spectralink provides three different parameters for barcode identification. Contact Spectralink support for more information and access to the SDK for developers. · The AIM code is an industry standard 3-character identifier that provides information about the symbology generated by the decoder of a scanner. The code is prepended to the scanned barcode and may be employed by keyboard injection as well as the data sent through the intent. E-1273 · Prepended string: Enables administrators to prepend a string before the barcode data. · Control character(s): One or more control characters may be inserted into barcode data.

When SKeyboard is disabled, only Google Gboard is re-enabled (not every other one that might have been active). A user can enable or re-enable other keyboards through the Android Settings menu (Settings> System> Languages & input> Virtual keyboard> Manage keyboards). Deploy a secure launcher to disallow non-secure keyboards. · Google voice typing can be separately enabled from the Spectralink Device app as an input method. Voice typing can be turned off but other apps may still use their own voice input. Keyboard options Android setting keyboard options (example) Sleep A new Category that introduces a programmable period of time for the screen timeout. RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 57 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software Admin Tip: What is "User controlled"? Several new settings introduce a new value---"User controlled" in addition to Enable and Disable or a list of choices. The "user controlled" option allows an administrator to permit a user to set and change a parameter in the Android menus instead of merely enabling, disabling or setting a specific value at the SAM or EMM level. For example, let's consider the Sleep timeout setting which is now available on the Device settings menu in addition to being available in the Android settings menu. An administrator has these options: 1. Set a specific value in SAM or an EMM, say 15 seconds, for this timeout. The user cannot change it on the Device menu, but could change it on the Android settings menu. The changed value is reflected in the Device settings menu but could be overridden at any time by SAM or the EMM. 2. If the Enable option is used, for example with Touch tones, the setting is shown as enabled in Device settings but the user could disable it in the Android settings menus. The changed value is reflected in the Device settings menu but could be overridden at any time by SAM or the EMM. 3. If the Disable option is used, for example with Touch tones, the setting is shown as disabled in Device settings but the user could enable it in the Android settings menus. The changed value is reflected in the Device settings menu but could be overridden at any time by SAM or the EMM. 4. Allow the user to control it, in which case Device settings will defer to the Android menu where the user can select any offered value for the sleep timeout or other option. The Device setting menu displays "User controlled". A secure launcher can be used to prevent the user from accessing the Android Settings menu and temporarily selecting a different value than the one set in the EMM/SAM. Conversely, since a secure launcher prevents the user from accessing the Android Settings menu, they will not be able to make any changes in that menu even though "user controlled" is set in the Device Settings. · Time to sleep after inactivity RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 58 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software Device settings Popup with User controlled option Android menu option Sleep popup Touch · Dialpad tones--tones available on Versity or custom tones programmed in an EMM · Touch sounds--percussive sounds available on Versity or in an EMM · Vibrate on tap--a vibration when Versity touchscreen is tapped.

The phone will revert only to the last update installed on the phone and is 1.6.x or later. It is manually activated and requires a password that must be configured through SAM or an EMM. It cannot be performed remotely. It will trigger a factory reset as the final step.

AP-3981 RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 62 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software Known Issues Area/App Description Reference Network Versity has an issue with the Fast Transition (FT) method for fast roaming. AP-3799 Spectralink is working to correct the problem but as a temporary workaround, Spectralink has reordered priority so that other security methods are preferred. You may continue to enable FT-PSK (for PSK2) or FT (for 802.1x) on the wireless network but ensure one of these other methods is enabled (as recommended in the Spectralink VIEW guide for your APs). For WPA-PSK2, it is PSK. For 802.1x it is CCKM and OKC. When the problem is corrected, the prioritization workaround will be replaced allowing the FT method will be available and functioning. Barcode Interleaved 2 or 5 symbology needs a workaround for SAM and EMMs. Keep " ATM-847 check digit verification" Disabled. Keep "Enable transmit..." Unchecked. Biz Phone Deprecated ringtone names still appear in 1.6. Ringtones deemed inappropriate for the workplace were removed in 1.6 but if set in an earlier version and then the phone is upgraded, the name of the ringtone still appears but it does not play. The default is played. When the user changes the ringtone, the new name appears. A-2070 Biz Phone Speakerphone mode may produce unacceptable overtalk when the parties speak at the same time. ATM-885 Buttons Logging The Buttons app was originally designed for user configuration. Many customers E-1304 requested the ability to remotely configure the buttons administratively and this feature is available starting with Versity release 1.5. If using Managed Configurations to configure the Buttons App via an EMM, start with Versity on the 1.5.0 platform release or later. However, when using an EMM, the app updates are pushed before the Versity updates but the newer app will not work correctly on older Versity releases. Therefore, the Button app upgrade could have been pushed prior to upgrading to the 1.5.0 release which necessitates a different approach. This different approach also works if you are upgrading to the 7.3.14511 Buttons app release on an earlier-than-1.5 Versity release. Do one or the other of the following two options: · If on the 1.5.0 Versity release, factory reset the phone. The Buttons app will upgrade to the version shipped with the 1.5 release. · If using an EMM, remotely change all buttons settings to a different action (e.g. "No Action"). Make sure the change is reflected on all phones. Then resend the updated Buttons app configuration. Buttons app should be 7.3.14511 or later. Versity no longer vibrates at the start and stop of a bugreport. This is by design AP-3846 to prevent user distraction when bugreports are captured for internal reports. Platform Battery saver cannot be enabled from the low battery Android popup even when ATM-889 Battery saver is allowed in the Device app settings. It must be enabled in the Battery saver tile or in the Android settings menu. Platform Norwegian will not display in some Spectralink apps.

However, it also reduces functionality by turning off apps that an administrator might want to remain operational. Such applications must be "whitelisted". See Settings> Battery> [3 vertical dots]> Battery optimization. Several Spectralink apps are on the whitelist. These apps operate under the covers and are vital to the functionality of Versity. They are: SAM Client, Sys Updater, and Web API. RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 65 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software The Versity User Guide warns Versity users not to use battery saver mode but administrators should be aware that the option to do so cannot be disabled. Caution: Whitelisting apps increases battery usage Be aware that apps added to the white list to bypass Battery Optimization will increase battery usage by staying awake. Ensure your users have extra batteries available and know how to do a Hot Swap.

Current release information This release includes these software versions: · Handset Version: 1.0.0.784 Your Spectralink support representative will guide you through software release installations as needed. Settings: Updating Versity to the current release This release can be used to update any Versity currently running R 1.0.0.741 ONLY. It is posted on the Spectralink Support website in two files--an incremental file and a full file. An incremental release is used to update code to the next released version. It is a smaller file with a faster download time and recommended for incremental updates. Full OTA download files should be used only by direction of Spectralink Support. It is provided on the support site only for support reasons. For any Versity currently running R 1.0.0.741, use the incremental release file: apollo-ota_update-signed-1.0.0.741-to-1.0.0.784.zip If your pre-release phones are running an earlier version, please contact your Spectralink support representative for instructions on how to get on the latest version. Settings: Use full file name for Sys Updater relative path setting You must use the full filename in the relative path setting whether you are updating manually or using the SAM server. E.g. /[server_name]/apollo-ota_update-signed-1.0.0.741-to-1.0.0.784.zip Current release The first release of Versity software introduces Versity to the customer. You will find that the function of the smartphone aligns with Google's Android 10 release and has all the advanced features incorporated in the Android 10 release. It also is restricted by the few limitations inherent in the Android 10 release. Most questions about Android 10 can be answered on Android websites. Concerns that are pertinent directly to Versity are outlined here. RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 88 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software Misc · If not using an EMM to manage apps from the Google Play store: The Google Play Store only updates applications when the phone is plugged in. Because Versity uses hot swap to replace a battery without losing functionality, it's possible for the phone to rarely be plugged in. The user will be notified that some updates are available, and the user can either plug the phone in or manually "install now" from the Play store app. Apps "pushed" by an EMM will be updated by the EMM and do not suffer this limitation. · USB On-the-GO (OTG): Use of uncertified cables may result in OTG not working properly. Only use certified cables and adapters. · When the camera app is in use, it is possible for the camera to draw too much current to allow the hot swap mechanism to function properly, resulting in the phone shutting down immediately when the battery is removed. Avoid hot swapping the battery while the camera app is in use. · The VQO application crashes when the language is set to other than English, use SAM to configure it, or temporarily switch to English. · The battery usage percentage reported in the battery settings for Spectralink applications is incorrect. The same percentage is shown for most applications, even if they are not used. This is a normal side effect of the tight integration between those applications and the Android platform. Audio · When using PTT, if you experience audio gaps after roaming, configure the VQO application "standby threshold" to 65. Networking · OTA updates are not allowed when using LTE to prevent excessive use of user data. OTA updates do not currently work on Wi-Fi if a VPN connection is used to access the server. Remote workers will need access to a local HTTP server which can download the OTA image from Spectralink's website. · Syslogging consumes LTE data (even if the server is not reachable). Spectralink recommends that syslogging be disabled for LTE users until such time that an option to disable syslog over LTE is available. · On Cisco Wireless Controllers, Aironet IE should be enabled if using 80 Mhz bandwidth for channels 100 to 144. Aironet IE is a Cisco proprietary attribute used by Cisco devices for better connectivity. The Cisco Client Extensions (CCX) clients use this information to choose the best AP with which to associate. RN-v1 R 2_2_2b.docx July 2021, v1 89 Release Notes Spectralink Versity 95/96 Series Software If Aironet IE is disabled, Versity may experience longer than normal handoffs for channels (100 to 144). Long handoffs would result in audio drop outs. Ref: https://www.cisco.com/c/en/us/td/docs/wireless/controller/8-8/configguide/b_cg88/per_wlan_wireless_settings.html · Voice traffic may not always be prioritized properly when WMM-AC is enforced for voice, which may result in slightly degraded voice quality in high Wi-Fi traffic conditions. · If a network utilizes only channels not allowed in the US (e.g. only channel 13), the phone will not discover the network. The workaround it to enable at least one channel that is valid in the US for the network to be recognized. · A reboot is required for an NTP address entered in the Device application to take effect. · If the user manually sets the SAM release interval below 15 minutes, SAM will override it back to 15 minutes but this is not shown in the UI.
