IP Office for Linux (Server Edition, Virtualized Server Edition, Select)
Customers can migrate to R9.1 by purchasing an upgrade license or under the terms of their IP Office Support Services support contract, as applicable.

IP500 base cards, trunk cards and expansion modules are supported with IP500 V2 control unit and may migrate to the V2 control unit. Licenses will require a dongle swap to move from the IP500 V1 key card to the IP500 V2 SD card.
All other Release 9.1 features are supported on all platforms.
Customer Call Reporter (CCR/Advance Edition) will not be supported with R9.1.
Location Time Zones
Location Time Zone is a new feature configured in the Location page in Manager to assign a time zone to a group of phones. This is useful for remote ‘remote worker’ sites typical of Hosted IP Office deployments and it applies the correct local time to a user’s phone, voicemails, call logs, user rights, and more. This primary setting can be applied to any extension type, not just H.323. This feature is available on Essential Edition, Preferred Edition, Server Edition, and IP Office Select.
Answer Supervision Analog/ATM4 Trunks
Analog trunks provided with the ATM4U V2 and Combination Card ATM V2 will provide mobile twinning support for answer and disconnect supervision.
• The “ATM4U-V2 Voice Activity Detector (VAD)” is an enhancement development that provides an answer supervision signal on ATM4U-V2 lines.
• Answer supervision signal has been added mainly to support Mobile Twining over analog trunks however it can be also used for other features such as accurate SMDR data.
• A Manager option to Enable/Disable VAD has been added.
• By default this functionality will be disabled.
Enable SIP 3rd party endpoints to be member of Page Groups
External speakers or amplifiers may be integrated with IP Office telephone page zones. This feature will enable IP Office to be the core of a paging solution displacing external paging solutions. An example would be schools where a page may be sent to several classroom phones simultaneously.
Location Based Time Zone
This feature provides the ability to set the correct time in a multi-site environment and ability to set different time zones for groups of extensions based on location.
New configuration item against the location page, Time Settings:
• Time Zone
• Local Time Offset from UTC
• Automatic DST
• Clock Forward/Back settings
Supported phones:
• 96xx
• 16xx
• 11xx/12xx
• D100
• E129
FSK MWI Support to Analog Extensions
The capability for Analog ports to support Bellcore FSK MWI has been added alongside existing mechanism such as Voltage driven and Line Reversal methods.
The “Analogue Extensions FSK Message Waiting Indication” provides a mechanism to switch On/Off FSK Message Waiting LED or LCD Icon on Phones that are capable of supporting this type of signal. Bellcore Standard only will be supported.
Set MWI on SIP Extension from Short Codes or CTI
SIP sets can now respond to short codes or TAPI commands instructing them to turn on the Message Waiting Indicator (MWI). This is particular useful in situations where 3rd party applications are working in conjunction with the IP Office. In earlier releases this was only supported on H.323 sets.
