## Upgrading to SAM 1.11

### Upgrade paths for SAM 1.11

* \*If you’re running \*\*SAM 1.10\
  \*\*\*1.10 → 1.11
* \*If you’re running \*\*SAM 1.9.1 or 1.9.2\
  \*\*\*1.9.1 or 1.9.2 → 1.10 → 1.11
* \*If you’re running **SAM 1.9.0**\
  \*1.9.0 → 1.9.2 → 1.10 → 1.11
* \*If you’re running **SAM 1.4.1 to 1.8**\
  \*1.4.1 through 1.8.0 → 1.9.0 → 1.9.2 →1.10 → 1.11
* \*If you’re running a version of **SAM before 1.4.1**\
  \*1.4.0 or earlier → 1.4.1 → 1.9.0 → 1.9.2 →1.10 → 1.11

{% hint style="info" %}
**When upgrading to SAM 1.10, use the same FQDN and IP address used in your prior SAM system**

When upgrading to SAM 1.10, use the same FQDN and IP address configured in your prior SAM system. If for some reason you need to change the IP address during a migration to 1.10 from your previous system, contact Spectralink Support for assistance, because your prior certificates will not work in the new system. (SAM-1419)
{% endhint %}

## Enhancements

Enhancements marked *Versity 97 Series* below are only available on the new Versity 97 Series phones running Android 13.

### AMIE Agent

#### Cloud Communication Enrollment ID

#### Cloud Communication URI

#### Use AMIE Gateway Communication

*These settings have been added to the SAM UI to support future app development. They should be left in their default configurations for now.* (X1-5757)

### Biz Phone

#### Video calls

Video calling on Versity phones is “one-way”: a Versity phone can receive video if an incoming call offers it but does not transmit video from the phone’s camera to the other party.

Video call settings are in the *SIP Registration 1* section of the BizPhone app.

**Allow Video Calls**

![](https://3032864282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FxfLF6IpyutR429bMnvvf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-c797bef92e7a48649dce3f84c31153a34671c7af%2Frn-image15.png?alt=media)

*Allow video calls* enables the handset to receive video calls. (Disabled by default, and when disabled the following two video call settings are grayed out.) (SAM-1253)

**Offer Video in Outgoing Calls**

When enabled, a Versity phone will offer to establish a video connection whenever making a call. If the remote end agrees, the video connection is established: the Versity user will be able to see video if it’s being transmitted, and the Versity phone will transmit color bars to the remote phone to indicate a video connection is established. When disabled, a video connection will not automatically be established if video is offered by the remote phone. (SAM-1253)

**Answer Calls in Video Mode**

If enabled, a Versity phone will show video automatically when answering a call offering video. If disabled, the user will have to switch to video mode on the call screen to see video. (SAM-1253)

#### Server Contact Search

*Server Contact Search* is a new setting in the *SIP Registration 1* section of the Biz Phone app. When enabled, Cisco® UCM contacts will be included in contact search results if a phone’s registered call server is a CUCM. (SAM-1414)

### Device Settings

#### Allow Desktop Mode (DEMO ONLY)

*Desktop mode*, in the *Display* section of the Device Settings app, is a demo feature *(see Caution below)* for Versity 97 Series phones that lets a user connect their phone to a monitor, mouse, and keyboard via a USB docking station.

{% hint style="warning" %}
**Desktop mode is a demo feature!**

Demo features are new capabilities being considered for integration into the Spectralink lineup. They have not been fully tested, so there may be some unexpected behaviors and limits to functionality.
{% endhint %}

Administrators can allow or disallow *Desktop* *mode* in the *Display* section of the Device Settings app. (It’s disallowed by default.) For more information regarding *Desktop mode*, see the *Demo Features* section of the *Versity Applications Administration Guide*. (SAM-1442)

#### Connection Preferences > Bluetooth Low Energy Tag

*For Versity 97 Series phones only*

![](https://3032864282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FxfLF6IpyutR429bMnvvf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4cbf900d2d36c1c8c9af2cf7f9cb8645c9e25577%2Frn-image16.png?alt=media)

This new section/setting in the Device Settings app controls the phone’s functionality as a Bluetooth Low Energy beacon. Three configurations are possible: User controlled (default), Enable, or Disable. (SAM-1432)

### SKeyboard

![](https://3032864282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FxfLF6IpyutR429bMnvvf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-6f4f7aa5efa907ec5a5ec0344d313cc5d42c0d07%2Frn-image17.png?alt=media)

![](https://3032864282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FxfLF6IpyutR429bMnvvf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-485618b9538795fc671082e67423067d2dcc81df%2Frn-image10.png?alt=media)![](https://3032864282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FxfLF6IpyutR429bMnvvf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-669f7a69722579abdaa4401ba9eb724003250351%2Frn-image18.png?alt=media)SKeyboard (pronounced *skiboard*) is Spectralink’s secure keyboard. It’s secure because it doesn’t interface with the internet: it doesn't require an internet connection for auto-prediction and auto-correction.

Starting with SAM 1.11 administrators can find SKeyboard listed on SAM’s *Applications* page, making it possible to configure an entire fleet of phones with settings that were previously accessible only through each individual phone’s Android Settings menu.

Unlike the other apps shown on SAM’s *Applications* page, by default SKeyboard is a hidden app on Versity phones. (When the app is hidden users can access SKeyboard’s settings by going to Settings > System

> Languages & input > On-screen keyboard > SKeyboard.)

Most of SKeyboard’s features and settings are familiar Android keyboard options. Refer to the following chart for SKeyboard’s defaults and for the specifics of Spectralink’s implementation of these features. (SAM-1420)

### Batch Configuration

To help administrators keep track of unused or spare phones in their fleet, the Batch Configuration page now includes a table of devices whose MAC addresses have been uploaded in a CSV configuration file but have not yet been presented to SAM via Sam Client configuration. (SAM-1328)

## Fixes & Minor Enhancements

**Key** **Summary**

SAM-1396 Low Battery Threshold in the Batt Life app has additional configuration values available (5% and 10%).

SAM-1411 Removed obsolete Wi-Fi Calling setting from the Network section of Device Settings app.

SAM-1412 Removed obsolete setting from Logcat in Logging app.

## Known Issues

**Key** **Summary**

![](https://3032864282-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FxfLF6IpyutR429bMnvvf%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-cfe1ab30a6bd3630211753a7fe2361f831336835%2Frn-image19.png?alt=media)

SAM-1301 In the *Replace Control Characters* section of the **Barcode** app, SAM’s dropdown menus incorrectly display a backslash before certain characters:

In these situations the backslash can be ignored—only the character following the backslash is sent to the phone, as shown below:

| **Dropdown displays** | **Character sent to phone** |
| --------------------- | --------------------------- |
| \\"                   | "                           |
| \\'                   | '                           |
| \\?                   | ?                           |
| \\@                   | @                           |
| \\\\                  | \\                          |

SAM-1440 In the *Sounds* section of the **Device Settings** app, if an administrator deletes any sounds from the sets of available Ringtone, Notification, or Alarm sounds, the administrator must ensure that the value selected in the default dropdown menu is not one of the deleted sounds. The default dropdown menu is not automatically updating to reflect changes to the available set of sounds—this will be fixed in a subsequent release.

## 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-1-11.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.
