What’s New in 5.1?
If you are currently using software version 3.x or 5.0, Polycom recommends that you install
update 5.1. This maintenance update contains the following improvements from version 5.0:
Improvements to the user interface, based on customer feedback.
•
Improved legibility
•
Easier access to controls
•
Streamlined configuration pages
Directory enhancements
•
New speed dial list.
•
User option to display local and global directory entries either together or
separately.
•
Support for saving to the directory calls dialed using an E.164 address and calls
dialed through a gateway.
•
Improved directory searching. The directory’s search feature now returns all
directory entries with words that start with the search criteria. Previously, the
search returned only those entries whose first word started with the search
criteria.
•
Faster directory look-up
Improved integration with Polycom’s Global Directory Server (GDS). Systems
configured to auto-start ViaVideo in the background now register with GDS on system
startup. Previously, ViaVideo would wait for the main user interface to be launched
before it registered.
Enhanced security options. Administrators can now disable VideoMail and outgoing
calls.
Improved VPN performance.
