Improvements

• Trunks / Dialing Manipulation Rules: A new section has been included in the trunks module named “Dialing Manipulation Rules”, that allows you to manipulate the dialed number depending of the trunk. E.g.: Suppose you have two providers, both have emergency calls service, but the number to dial is different for each one, for the first provider you must to dial 933 and for the second one you must to dial 944. So, you can configure in your outbound route the 911 and replace this number depending on the trunk on which the call is dialed through.

• Trunks / DID and CID from Headers: Now is possible to define if the DID or the CID will be extracted from the SIP Headers. This only applies for SIP trunks

• Blacklist / Pattern and Destinations:  Now it is possible to define a blacklist number with a pattern and define a destination for it. Also, it is possible to disable/enable a blacklist item through the GUI. If no destination is defined for the blacklisted item a message will be played to the caller.

• SIP Settings / NAT: Now it is possible to define the NAT setting as a global parameter. If you want to use the global value for SIP devices/trunks, you must set NAT parameter to the “Default” value for them
