# SAM 1.1.0

SAM Version: 1.1.0.x.503

For use with all Versity versions.

{% hint style="info" %}
**SAM compatibility**

SAM 1.1.0.x.503 was tested with Versity 1.4. However, this version of SAM should work with any Versity smartphone software version. Any options that appear in SAM and are not in the phone menus will be ignored by the phone. Any options that are in the phone but not in SAM will be ignored by SAM unless programmed through Custom Attributes.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**What does the “x” stand for?**

You will notice an “x” in the version number. It signifies the build version of the VM the SAM software is installed on. When the SAM version is loaded at your site, the number will reflect the VM version in use at your site. The version number will replace the “x” after install as displayed on the SAM About page.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
**Updating SAM to the current release**

You will see two files for this and future releases.

The upgrade version is an incremental release used to update code to the next released version. It is a smaller file with a faster download time and recommended for incremental updates. Always use the appropriate incremental file for your current release. i.e. Do not skip versions. Use the next released version.

The New install file contains the full code for a new SAM VM and software deployment.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="warning" %}
**The full release version will install a new instance of SAM on the VM**

The New install version will install a new instance of SAM with an empty database. If SAM is already deployed in your facility, do not try to “upgrade” with the New install version. Use the upgrade version unless you intend to start over.
{% endhint %}

## New Features

SAM R 1.1 is the second iteration of the widely acclaimed software introduced with the Versity smartphone This version brings significant additional capabilities in response to our ever-expanding customer base.

### About SAM

A Backup Now button now appears on the About page. Clicking it causes a popup notification to appear that confirms the request and informs when the backup will run, usually immediately. The backup process runs the export.sh script. (318)

### Copy Configuration

The new Device Info fields have been added to the Copy Configuration feature to make it easier to find the Source and Target devices. (300)

### Device List

#### Device created (263)

New option “Device Created” added to Device List column options. The date listed is the date the device was approved and added to the Device List.

#### Device Info fields (4) added to Device List.

See explanation under Device Settings below.

#### Export devices (301)

The Export All Devices option is added to the Select actions dropdown. Clicking it exports all devices to a .csv file with useful columns for parsing as needed with the spreadsheet file.

### Feature License

SAM license management requires SAM to remain available even though SAM licenses are expired. When licenses expire, SAM becomes read-only and error messages appear. No configuration changes can be made until new licenses are purchased and installed. (204)

### Applications

#### Custom attributes (242)

The Custom Attributes feature is used to deploy application parameters and features that have been developed by Spectralink but are not yet available in the SAM GUI. All custom attributes are listed under the application and may be edited and deleted as needed.

This software version delivers improvements in setting, changing and deleting custom attributes. Key-value pairs used by Custom attributes can be found in the *Applications Administration Guide*, available online at the Spectralink support site.

#### Custom App beta version (330)

Custom Application is a new app that is under beta trials which Spectralink is releasing in this version as it may prove useful to certain facilities. The UI is similar to Custom attributes.

#### Send Configuration Now button added (265)

Each SAM configuration page now has a set of Save/Cancel buttons at the bottom.

* Cancel—clears changes but remains in the page.
* Save Configuration—saves any changes to the database. Any affected phone will get the changes when it next heartbeats in.
* Send Configuration Now—saves any changes to the database and also triggers a heartbeat for the affected phones so they pick up the changes “Now”.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.spectralink.net/amie-essentials/release-notes/sam-1-1-0.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
