Avaya Aura Communication Manager Release 6.2 includes the following new and enhanced features:

• Enhanced SIP call features
  Including enhanced call forwarding, enhanced call pickup alerting, Team button, group paging and auto dial buttons.
• SIP to H.323 Direct Media
  Communication Manager uses the SIP to H.323 Direct Media feature to directly connect SIP stations or SIP trunks to H.323 stations, without using a media resource and shuffling the call.
• SIP INFO out-of-band DTMF digit processing
  The out-of-band option sends all outgoing DTMF messages as SIP INFO messages. When the out-of-band option is activated, Communication Manager sends SIP INFO messages over a SIP signaling group.
• International CPN Prefix
  To convert the incoming and outgoing ISDN numbers to international format and to support international ISDN number configurations, CPN prefixes are added to the calling numbers, based on the location from where the call has originated.
• Look Ahead Routing for 404 and 407 SIP Messages
  When any far-end returns SIP call failure errors such as 407 (Not Found) or 404 (Proxy Authentication required), Communication Manager initiates look ahead routing (LAR), if set up correctly for the routing pattern.
• Signaling group usage for SIP signaling groups
• VDN option for DID/Tie/ISDN/SIP intercept treatment
• Call preservation for Communication Manager
• Service Observing Next Call Listen Only Access Code
  The Service Observing Next Call Listen Only Access Code feature is used in a call center environment where a service observer needs to monitor the observed entity.
• Microsoft Office Communicator integration
• Support for Internet codec G722.2
• Main and survivable server split registration prevention
  The split registration prevention feature, which ensures that gateways and telephones in a network region register to the same server, is now available for preventing split registration between the main server and the survivable core server.
