Features

• Security Notice

  • We strongly recommend applying this security patch or updating to STARFACE 9.0.1 (as soon as it is available)!

  • No action is needed for STARFACE Clouds: All affected clouds have already been patched and updated images are available for new clouds.

  Important General Notes

  • Ensure that you do not use self-signed certificates.

    • Certificates of the type 'self-signed' are no longer accepted and must be replaced if necessary.

    • STARFACE 8.0 and above strictly require valid certificates for encrypted telephony (for Snom, Yealink, and Gigaset). The definition of valid certificates depends on the manufacturer.

    • The certificates of the STARFACE Clouds are verified and valid, so no action is required on your part.

  • The existing (Asterisk) 'Recording' function has been adjusted as part of the OpenAI integration.

    • The function has been extended with the new parameter 'GUI OPENAIKEY PASSWORDFIELD'.

    • All modules using this function must be updated to ensure the module continues to work!

  Minimum Requirements

  • Note that when updating STARFACE to version 9, at least 6 GB of free disk space is required, plus twice the size of the backup to be imported.

  • During the update to STARFACE 9, the memory for STARFACE Clouds will be increased to 4 GB when done via cloud management.

  Update/Migration Path

  • Systems with STARFACE 7.3 or older cannot be directly updated to STARFACE 9. This affects all types (Appliances, VMs &

  • Clouds).

  • Background:

    • With STARFACE 8.0, the backup and recovery process was revised and a new method for importing and exporting backups introduced.

    • Backups from versions STARFACE 7.3 (and older) can only be imported into systems with versions STARFACE 8.0 or 8.1.

    • With STARFACE 9, only backups from versions STARFACE 8.0 or 8.1 can be imported.

  • Procedure:

    • Systems with STARFACE 7.3 (and older) must first update to STARFACE 8.0 or 8.1 to create a backup in the new format.

    • Only with this backup in the new format can an update from STARFACE 8.0 or 8.1 to STARFACE 9 be performed.

  • The update from STARFACE 8.0 and above to STARFACE 9 can be installed as a normal update via the web interface as usual, and does not require a new installation.

  'Let's Encrypt' certificates are considered valid. The verification and exchange of certificates should be done before activating telephone encryption, but can be done before or after the update.

  For STARFACE Clouds, no action is needed as their certificates are already verified and valid.

  Update/Migration Path

  • The update from STARFACE 7.0 and higher to STARFACE 8.1 can be installed as a normal update via the web interface as usual and does not require a new installation.
  • Updates for STARFACE Clouds should be done directly through Cloud Management in the partner portal. This allows you to update directly from STARFACE 6 to STARFACE 8.1.
  • Virtualized STARFACE installations must be manually reinstalled. Details can be found in our Knowledge Base.
  • Backups from older versions (e.g., STARFACE 6.7) can also be imported into STARFACE 8.1 as usual.

  BEFORE the Update

  • We recommend archiving the call lists, fax lists, voicemails, and call recordings with the 'STARFACE Archiving' module before the update.
  • We recommend working with fully qualified phone numbers in all modules.
  • Please check before installation whether the siptrunk.de-Profil profile of your provider has been updated.
  • With STARFACE 8.1, potential adjustments in modules may be necessary. We recommend checking whether there is a current, 8.1-compatible version available for the modules used before an update. Please consult the respective module partners for this.

  AFTER the Update

  • Existing Gigaset stations N510 and N720 must be manually adjusted after the STARFACE update. A corresponding guide is available in our Knowledge Base.
  • Please update your STARFACE apps to the latest version, especially the new STARFACE app for Windows. Older versions of the STARFACE apps (Windows, MacOS, Android & iOS) are not fully compatible with STARFACE 8.1
  • If you use exclusively a STARFACE Connect line, ensure in the settings that you are using the highest routing priority.
  • Please check already installed modules for newer versions and update them after the update.

  Features & Improvements

  • Devices: For users of the Gigaset R700H Protect handset, the alarm feature via DTMF inputs is now supported on the Gigaset N670 and N870 stations.

  • All manually installed certificates must be re-imported via the new API (or the administrator interface) to ensure future-proof storage.
  • Management via the file system / SSH will overwrite and delete the corresponding certificates.
  Introduction of a new STARFACE Firmware Server
  • As of STARFACE 8.1, a central firmware server managed by STARFACE will handle the firmwares of all supported phones that are not frozen (Legacy) or discontinued.
  • The update automatically deletes firmwares that are no longer needed from the system.
  • Each STARFACE pulls the required firmware from this server.
  • With the new admin interface 'Phones > Firmwares', automatic downloads and updates of phones can be set and scheduled globally or per phone type.
  • New firmware updates can thus be provided independently of releases in the future.
  • An active internet connection is strictly required for updates of supported end devices through the firmware server.
  • List of currently supported end device types:
    • Yealink: T31, T46U, T53, T54, T57, T58W, VP59, CP920, CP925, CP960, CP965

We provide a legacy client to maintain compatibility with STARFACE PBXs on releases between 6.3 and 6.4.2. ATTENTION: The legacy version of the App will not be maintained. We strongly recommend that you keep your STARFACE PBX up to date and install the latest version of the app.
  • Please note that the update will download a significant amount of data.
  • Should you be updating a STARFACE PRO v2 appliance, please ensure that there is at least 2.5GB of storage available.
  • We strongly recommend reducing the size of the call data record with the module "STARFACE Archivierung", as well as ensuring that fully-qualified phone numbers are used in modules.

Bugfixes

• Bugfixes
  
  • Fixed a bug that caused some DNS servers to misinterprete a request, leading to problems with lines.
  • Fixed a bug that caused the Gigaset N720 to ignore Click2Dial and calls initiated by UCC Clients.

Features

• Release Highlights
  
  • New provider profile: "Telekom DeutschlandLAN SIP-Trunk". We recommend using a LANCOM router.
    Developer Comment: STARFACE now natively supports Deutsche Telekom's DeutschlandLAN SIP-Trunk. However, we continue to recommend using a LANCOM router from Deutsche Telekom when using this SIP Trunk. Alterations to the SIP parameters of Deutsche Telekom's service will be published immediately or at the next opportunity to Deutsche Telekom's LANCOM routers, should these be necessary. This means that you will always be up to date with the latest sip profile for your DeutschlandLAN SIP-Trunk connection. As we are not proactively informed of changes to the platform, any changes on our end can only be done after the fact, which would mean a certain amount of downtime for the customer.
  • System status: New tab "Diagnosis" with the option to create and download TCP-Dumps from the Administration Interface
  • Calls to iOS UCC Mobile Clients now send push notifications

    Developer Comment: We have noticed that some settings are used rarely. These settings overloaded the Settings menu, which made building an intuitive configuration panel difficult. We therefore moved rare used and complex settings and to a separate "Expert Mode", to make the more commonly configured settings easier and simpler to find and set
  • UCC Client for Windows: iFMC can now be configured in the UCC Client

Features

• STARFACE Security Release fixes additional vulnerability - Update strongly encouraged for PBX Interconnections
  
  Following a blackmail threat, STARFACE gained knowledge of an additional security vulnerability in version 6.4 during forensic analysis. This vulnerability could possibly be exploited actively in the near future. The vulnerability affects telephony systems that are interconnected.
  Therefore, we published a security release that closes the aforementioned vulnerability.
  
  We strongly encourage you to install the security release and take the following general steps:
  
  • Please ensure that your firewall opens port 3090 only when several STARFACE telephony systems are interconnected with each other
  • Please operate a STARFACE Interconnection of several PBXes in a VPN, as recommended
  
  Furthermore, we continue to strongly recommend the following general security measures:
  • Please create a backup of your STARFACE telephony systems immediately. Save this backup to an external drive. Ensure that backups are created regularly in the future.
  • Install the security release that matches your STARFACE version. Customers on versions 6.4.0 and 6.4.1 may update to the latest version of 6.4.2 without an update contract.
  • Change all passwords on your STARFACE telephony system precautiously.
  
  We kindly ask you to update your cloud machines by yourself, if deemed necessary.

  • MP3 files are no longer permitted as custom ringtones and notification alerts for the UCC Client for Windows. Please convert these to WAV files to retain compatibility with the client. Any existing MP3 files need to be converted.
  • The .NET framework 4.5 must be installed before installing the UCC Client for Windows via the MSI package.
  • When upgrading from a version older than 5.6, it is necessary to update to version 5.6 or 5.8 prior to upgrading to version 6.1.
  • When upgrading from a version older than 6.0, please note that STARFACE 6.1 uses fully qualified formatting for telephone numbers. Please check your COR rules and, if necessary, format them accordingly. For example, a rule set in STARFACE 5 that routes German telephone numbers starting with "01" needs to be changed to "00491"
  • If any of the following settings have been altered, please redo them after updating as they will be over-written: 'authuser' in the line configuration, the register line, or the 'host' setting for an M-net provider profile.

Features

• IMPORTANT: Please read the following advice BEFORE updating
  
  
  • The update is being released as a soft-launch. This means that new systems will be deployed with this version pre-installed. Appliances in the field with an update contract can have the update enabled by your STARFACE Partner.
  • We strongly recommend creating a backup of your current STARFACE system before updating to the new version. We recommend saving this back-up in a separate location.
  • The module "Gruppe mit Warteschlange" has been replaced by the new feature "iQueue". Customers with a current Queue which uses this module will need to transfer their settings to the iQueue in the group configuration options.
  • The setting "insecure=very" has been discontinued in some SIP provider profiles. Custom profiles which use this setting will need to change it to "insecure=port,invite".
  • Some components in the STARFACE Module system have been changed, as has the call handling. Custom modules will therefore need to be checked after the update has been installed and, in the case of the module no longer working, the module will need to be reconfigured or rewritten.
  • In the STARFACE Interconnection all connected locations must be on the same version of the STARFACE software to prevent problems.
