• Improved centralized deployments with greater flexibility on services provided by a single instance of software:
o Variable Night Service scheduling for groups or other directory numbers
o Multiple music on hold sources to allow flexibility across groups of users and different locations which may be served off a centralized instance
o Expansion of route lists to simplify programming ( FROM 6 to 20)
• Customer requested feature enhancements including:
o Preview on call pickup - to see who is calling before choosing to take a call
o Enhanced Manager-Assistant solution - to simplify life for support staff
o Name display in more call scenarios. - shifting to a more user friendly view to help improve call handling
o Simplified directory and full UTF8 support
o "Call" softprompt for markets where the numbering plan has variable number lengths
• Continue to improve solution Total Cost of Ownership (TCO)
o Single Line SIP Licenses - to facilitate lower cost, simple telephony requirements such as the Lobby phone in a hotel
o Programming simplification and improved help capabilities
MiVoice Business Console 8.0
Microsoft Windows 10
Support for Microsoft™ Windows 10.
The MiVB Console can be installed on any Windows 10 device.
Headset Answer/Release Support
Operators can use the Answer/Release buttons on Jabra™ and Plantronics™ headsets to handle calls. Operators using wireless headsets can now answer a call while away from their desk, and speak to the caller while walking back to the console position to complete call handling.
Operators can answer and release calls using the buttons on Jabra and Plantronics headsets. Other controls such as volume or mute are NOT supported.
There are different limitations for Jabra and Plantronics headsets:
Jabra headsets
Wired and wireless headsets. Bluetooth headsets are NOT supported.
Two Jabra headsets may be used at the same time but they must be different models.
Plantronics headsets
Wired and wireless, including Bluetooth headsets
One Plantronics headset may be used. If a second headset is required at the same time, a Jabra headset may be used.
o Warning: For some wireless devices there can be a slight delay between the user pressing the “talk” button and the console processing the event. Operators not accustomed to this delay may press the button again, resulting in “release” of the call. Continued Security Enhancements
o
• Master Profile (will be delivered in MiVoice Business Console 8.0 Service Pack 1)
• Master profile reduces the time required for installation of new consoles, especially in multi-console environments. It also allows the Administrator to standardize console settings so that all Console stations have consistent behavior.
This feature allows the administrator to configure a single console and save the settings that are common to all operators as a master profile. The master profile is then automatically imported to each new console that is selected to use the master profile.
All consoles must be on the same release of console application s/w
Master profile file may be kept anywhere in the network, including on one of the Console PC
Master profile is loaded upon startup by each console position
If the path to network location is not available at start up, the console will start with the most recent profile that was used (and is stored locally
Mitel is also announcing that MiVoice Business Release 8.0 will be the final version of software supporting the broader 5200 series IP Phones (come Release 9.0 these sets will no longer be able to be connected to the system). Further communications with more specific details of all model and the proposed migration options will follow.

Bill,
the new 69 series phones can pair with cells phones via Bluetooth. You can see your cell's directory number and answer calls.
Can you transfer to another MiVB extension a cellphone call that's been answered on your 69 set?
Regards,
Daniel

I was really hoping that Mitel would allow a portal like Avaya where you can manage your 3300's through a Mitel Portal...do backups and MAC. Most systems are connected to internet and to Mitel...makes sense to allow a portal at least for backups.

Was having a google to see where we were with per cab support and came across this on MOL and this thread, looks like all of us still on MCD 6 with per cabs are now "unsupported"?
John.
![[thumbsdown]](/data/assets/smilies/thumbsdown.gif "[thumbsdown] [thumbsdown]")
It was pretty widely announced that MCD 6 would be the last release to officially support peripheral cabinets, and Mitel's support policy has been to only support N-2 releases. This shouldn't be news to anyone familiar with Mitel's support policies.
