Version 24.2.0

What's new in this release?

  • Display name masking
  • To enhance privacy and security, administrators can now mask the VidyoGateway dial-in or dial-out display name.
  • The new “dnMask” Advanced Option enables you to mask the caller’s phone numbers so others cannot view them.
  • This feature is configurable per prefix.
  • To perform the configuration, click the Add Service button on the VidyoGateway Admin UI Services tab. Then, in the Advanced Options field, add dnMask: and the prefix. In the following illustration, entering dnMask:8-* masks the last eight digits of the caller’s phone number.

  • For example, if the caller’s phone number was +13366666666, dnMask:8-* would create a mask as follows: +13366666666 → +133********

Upgrade notes

  • You must upgrade to VidyoGateway version 24.2.0 from VidyoGateway version 22.2.0 or later. Therefore, if you have a VidyoGateway version earlier than 22.2.0, you must first upgrade to 22.2.0 and then upgrade to version 24.2.0. Please refer to the Upgrade a VidyoGateway 22.2.x cluster to version 24.2.0 section below for more information. These steps must be completed in order.
  • If you have installed a previous VidyoGateway version 24.2.0 beta, you should first downgrade your VidyoGateway to a previous GA version using the Recovery Utility on the System Console, and then upgrade directly to the GA 24.2.0 version. For more information, refer to "Run the recovery utility" section of the VidyoGateway Administrator Guide.

VidyoGateway version 24.2.0 is compatible with VidyoPortal version 21.6.x and later.
