Introduction

This release of the QTelNet FreeRide operating software introduces some changes to default settings, new web interface pages and other branding-related changes, and addresses a number of bugs.

Bug Fixes

1.      Fixed bug with FXO/FXS combinations where going on/off hook repeatedly would generate the familiar error signal from the PSTN consisting of three short tones in rising pitch sequence.

2.      Fixed bug with FXO/FXS combinations that could result in the failure to get a dial tone from the PSTN-connected FXO.

NOTES:

1.      If the “Sync Off-hook” option is desired, it must be enabled on both the FXO and the FXS.

2.      If Sync Off-hook is not enabled, a PSTN call to the FXO gateway is left unanswered until the FXS endpoint goes off-hook.

3.      Fixed bug that could result in an FXS continuing to ring after a call from an FXO was aborted (e.g. if there was no answer) when Synchronized Off-hook in not in use*.

*Currently if Synchronized Off-hook is in use, then the "endless ring" anomaly can still occur. This is targeted for the next release.

4.      Fixed bug where calls to the IP address of a FreeRide telephone would get routed to Line 2 instead of Line 1.

5.      Enabled acceptance of calls from Microsoft Netmeeting (routed to Line 1) including those coming in via a gateway router.

Changes

1.      Default configuration changes -

* Phone or Gateway as appropriate

2.      Added functionality to the Clear Config button on the web page. Now the boot file is set to “flash” and if there are any malfunctions the boot device is reset to “qu”.

3.      Added identifying headers to the configuration pages of the FXO and FXS gateways.

4.      Made graphic changes to the configuration pages to speed up loading.

Brand-related Changes

1.      Re-branded all configuration pages, boot-up banners and copyright notices to reflect the acquisition of e-Tel by QTelNet Inc.

2.      Changed Telnet (serial) interface command prompt to display QTelNet> instead of ETel>

3.      Changed Telnet (serial) interface command to enter “command mode” from “etelcmd” to “qtelnetcmd.”
