Lyncd Up: August 2014 Lync Phone Edition CU 7577.4451: Phone Lock Prevents Dialing and Non-EV Users can use Lync Phone

The Updates have been coming thick and fast, first Server then client and now Lync Phone Edition

Unlike the last LPE update, this one adds some interesting new functionality. There is not a great level of detail at the moment, I will post more when I test the new features.

•  2988196 The lock feature does not prevent users from making calls on a Lync Phone Edition telephone
  • You lock a Microsoft Lync Phone Edition telephone by selecting the “lock” button on the telephone or by locking the computer that is connected to the telephone. The Lync Phone Edition telephone is deployed for Enterprise Voice users. In this situation, you can still make calls by using the telephone.

• 2988193 Update enables users who are not enabled for UC or EV to sign in to Lync Phone Edition telephone
  • This update for Microsoft Lync Phone Edition applies to users who are not enabled for unified communications (UC) or Enterprise Voice (EV).

There are also a couple of fixes noted:

• 2988192 Receive incorrect message when you call a user whose line is busy on a Japanese version of Lync Phone Edition telephone
• 2988195 Incoming call from a PSTN number is disconnected when you put the call on hold on a Lync Phone Edition telephone
