Hot Standby Graphic User Interface With our new hot standby feature, you define important rules to let a secondary anynode system take over in the event of an emergency as part of a “high-availability configuration”.

In the graphical user interface of this feature, all conditions for a switchover to the secondary standby system and back can be set.

For example, an inactive Maintenance Mode can be selected for the active role of anynode system within a hot standby configuration. When the system enters Maintenance mode, the secondary anynode then takes over all tasks after a scheduled system update that also requires a reboot.

The system can be configured so that the secondary anynode system retains the active role.

Tagging and Enhanced Dial String Rewriting In order to classify incoming calls even better, version 4.6 now allows you to provide dial strings with tags that you define yourself.

The tagging of special incoming calls - for example that of special or emergency numbers - enables the application of special rules in the process of routing.

With the introduction of tags, you can now also eliminate the cumbersome use of prefixes, which always had to be removed after routing so that they would not be transmitted to the remote station.

In addition, user directories, which previously could only be created statically, can now also be retrieved from dynamic data sources. This greatly simplifies external data maintenance, even by personnel without SBC configuration knowledge.

Dynamic routing via Route Supervision with the REST server is also possible with SQL databases and Azure- and Active Directories.

This enables routing decisions based on individual data record fields, dial string rewriting (rewriting of phone numbers) as well as setting of display names.

In practice, a phone number can be assigned a special display name with name and company, which provides many advantages in day-to-day business operations.

Proxy Server Support for Licensing and Updates In practice, company networks are often used where access to the Internet is only possible via a proxy server.

With the new version 4.6., anynode also supports the connection to the Internet via proxy server. This means that updates and licenses can now be obtained directly and securely via the anynode frontend.

Support of numverify and Real Phone Validation services The support of „Number Verification“ in Route Supervision helps to save unnecessary costs and man-hours.

With version 4.6, anynode supports the numverify and Real Phone Validation services. With these services, incoming phone numbers can be checked for validity, phone number type or from a specific provider.

This allows dubious calls (e.g., calls with fake phone numbers, etc.) to be blocked automatically or forwarded directly to another route.

For example, a new user with adjustable access rights can be added to anynode‘s user management via PowerShell script, or a certificate can be added to the node‘s certificate chain.
