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 “xxx” stand for?** You will notice an “xxxx” 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 “xxxx” 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 %} {% hint style="warning" %} **Your account number is critical to SAM setup** Due to repeated situations where the SAM server was installed with a phony customer account number, a caution note is added here to help all installers understand that the correct customer account number will prevent future configuration and installation problems. Spectralink assigns a unique account number to each customer which is linked to your SAM license. If a different number is used to configure the SAM server and it is not the assigned number, the SAM license will fail and the entire server must be reinstalled. {% endhint %} ## New Features ### Improved UI With R1.3 Spectralink introduces an improved apps UI to ensure fast and convenient display of all configurable options. The SAM version is closely synchronized with the most recent Versity software version so that all the latest app developments are included in the SAM UI. ### Refined update/downgrade process Development requirements for SAM R1.3 increased the URI length to more than 100 characters. Therefore, if you revert from SA R1.3 to SAM R1.2 the different URI length will cause the phones to stop communicating. An interim build has been created to avoid the consequences of the mismatch during a downgrade. SAM-1.2.0R1 --> Build #765. It can be obtained from your support representative. For a new install Simply install R1.3. To update from R1.2 to R1.3 1. Install SAM-1.2.0R1 --> Build #765 2. Upgrade to SAM R1.3. To reverse the R1.3 update and go back to R1.2 1. Install SAM-1.2.0R1 --> Build #765 If you have installed R1.3 or downgraded to R1.2 and the phones stop communicating 1. Install SAM-1.2.0R1 --> Build #765 ## Fixes and Minor Enhancements Key Summary [SAM-707](https://jira.spectralink.com/browse/SAM-707) Downgrade (or revert) causes phones to require reset after upgrading to 1.3 [SAM-681](https://jira.spectralink.com/browse/SAM-681) Removing default channel from PTT [SAM-675](https://jira.spectralink.com/browse/SAM-675) Biz Phone shows changes pending when there are none [SAM-564](https://jira.spectralink.com/browse/SAM-564) SAM GA5 design issue: local storage [SAM-550](https://jira.spectralink.com/browse/SAM-550) "Enable Device Settings" is confusing [SAM-532](https://jira.spectralink.com/browse/SAM-532) Audit Orion 1.0 & 1.1 Config Parameters to SAM [SAM-530](https://jira.spectralink.com/browse/SAM-530) Add Versity ScanFlex config parameters --- # 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.

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-1-3.md?ask=&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.
