Analyze and diagnose SIP flows SIP Flow Recording allows users to perform retrospective analysis of SIP flows by displaying them in a SIP ladder. This feature provides a detailed view of selected SIP messages and is accessible directly from the anynode frontend.

Users can export the SIP flow data in various formats, including HTML, JSON, pcap and txt, or retrieve it via the REST API. The call flows are stored in the call history database, enabling long-term analysis without the need for extensive trace files. This is especially beneficial for Managed Service Provider (MSP) platforms where traditional trace files are impractical. The clear 3-way signal flow diagram (SIP ladder) makes it easy to understand and troubleshoot SIP communications.

+ Reduces complexity in setting up and managing call forwarding

Flexible call forwarding for various scenarios Failover routing in anynode allows multiple destination nodes to be defined with specific routing and rewrite rules within a route. This allows for automatic switching to the next entry in case of certain status messages, ensuring flexible and reliable call management.

The special feature of this solution is that it can be set directly in the routing, so that the destinations can be of different types.

Rerouting can also be performed during failover, providing additional flexibility.

Failover routing ensures that calls reach their destination even if the primary route fails. It automatically adjusts the route, minimizing downtime and ensuring stable communications.

+ Applicable in cloud environments with an upstream load balancer

Automatic replication of certificates for high availability systems ACME certificate replication in anynode enables automatic replication of certificates obtained via an ACME service to a replicated anynode system.

This feature ensures that certificates are seamlessly transferred to all systems within a High Availability (HA) scenario.

By using a pivoting IP address within anynode, the replication process ensures redundancy and availability of certificates.

This capability is particularly beneficial in environments with system replication, such as hot standby scenarios. In cloud environments such as Azure and AWS, this is achieved through an upstream load balancer.

By automating the installation of ACME certificates on HA instances, the risk of downtime is significantly reduced.

Efficiently Distribute Incoming Calls The request router enables the distribution of incoming requests to several systems. It withdraws from the call flow after the first connection is established so that further communication can take place directly between the systems involved.

This function improves the scalability of call processing through the possibility of load balancing and offers clear administration and configuration via the dashboard.

Efficient resource allocation is achieved with the Request Router, which improves system performance and responsiveness by distributing the load.

This results in improved overall performance, increased responsiveness and improved scalability when handling calls.

Enhanced security with centralized certificate management The OS Trusted Certificate Store feature allows you to use certificates that are stored in the Trusted Store of your operating system. This functionality can be configured in the Network Security Profile within the anynode interface, simplifying security settings and ensuring compliance with system-wide security policies. Currently, only the installed root certificates are considered trusted under Windows.

By enabling the OS Trusted Certificate Store, administrators can centralize certificate management, reducing the risk of manual errors and ensuring that certificates are consistently updated and trusted system-wide.

This feature supports the system-wide use of certificates, improves interoperability and simplifies the integration of anynode into your existing network infrastructure.

Ensures regular updates for trusted certificates on nodes and objects The Trusted Certificate Update Service feature regularly checks whether there are new trusted certificates for configured nodes and other objects such as Azure AD. It suggests the installation of these new certificates, which are maintained by TE-SYSTEMS and obtained from the community, as long as the software update service is valid.

This reduces administrative overhead, saves time and minimizes disruption by ensuring seamless renewal and management of certificates.

Notifications about new certificates can be configured as push messages, such as chat messages in Microsoft Teams, SMS or email.

characteristics + Enhances Matching Condition functionality + Allows configuration of transport connections based on remote dial strings + Supports multiple transport connections for outgoing calls from a single PBX node

Dynamic routing of outgoing calls using remote dial strings The Matching Condition Transport Connections feature extends the existing Matching Condition functionality. This feature now makes it possible to route outgoing calls using remote dial strings in addition to the local dial string. This allows multiple Transport Connections to be configured for outbound calls from a single PBX node, with the destination number being the determining factor for the Transport Connection used.

This feature goes beyond the previous limitation of only being effective with providers.

This efficiency is supported by a simple configuration process via a wizard in the anynode frontend. Users can also view a comprehensive table of all configured transport connections and remote dial strings to ensure that everything is clearly displayed.

Quickly Identify Test Calls with Sender Number Filter The Active Session Filter feature makes it possible to define filters for displaying active sessions in the anynode Monitor. This feature allows individual calls, especially test calls, to be located quickly and efficiently in large systems. By using the sender number filter, administrators can easily locate test calls amidst a large number of active sessions, allowing for better control and insight.

The Active Session Filter allows you to continuously monitor active test calls by their sender number, providing real-time tracking and simplifying oversight.

Additional filter options such as Node or Route further simplify the process of searching for specific active calls and make it easier to identify and manage individual calls in large systems.

Script-based configuration and management of anynode via the REST API The new REST-API extensions introduce powerful features for simplified configuration and management. Key new features include enhanced hot standby management, the ability to retrieve SIP call history, improved controls for web server connectors and comprehensive management of disconnected objects. These updates significantly improve system integration, monitoring and management via the REST API and provide more control and flexibility without relying on the graphical user interface.

DETACHED OBJECTS + Remove Objects: Remove a list of objects + Get Object Tree: Retrieve the object tree + Get Subtree Objects: Retrieve objects in a subtree + Get Unreferenced Objects: Retrieve unreferenced objects

File size limit for trace (2 GB by default) The aim is to prevent trace files from becoming so large that they fill the entire hard disk. Otherwise, certain system processes may no longer function properly due to the lack of free disk space.

Teams Ext= Add parameters When rewriting in the node, an Ext= parameter can be conveniently added. Previously, this was only possible with a somewhat complicated configuration.

This is useful in the Teams environment when working with extension numbers.

New profile in the media transcoding options The “Performance” and “Compatible” profiles are available for selection. By default, the objects are created with the “Compatible” profile. The sending of audio packages with comfort noise is then automatically activated.

Maximum connection time The maximum connection time of a session can be set in the Routing Forward Profile. For example, it can be defined that calls that run via a specific route must not last longer than four hours.

New Microsoft Teams SBA integrated With anynode and the Survivable Branch Appliance (SBA), it is possible to make voice calls to external or internal telephone numbers even if the connection to the Microsoft Teams Cloud is interrupted. The SBA is an additional Windows application that is automatically delivered as a service with every Windows-based anynode deployment.

Teams Node extension Teams nodes can now accept calls from Microsoft without checking the FQDN.
