Remote Desktop Mode for ProCall Clients in Terminal Server Environments

The "Remote Desktop Mode" can be activated for ProCall with Softphone, e.g. in a terminal server environment.

This allows you to control remote access and control for ProCall clients and connected audio devices/headsets via RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol).

This allows you to use the executing ProCall client to take remote control of the ProCall client installed locally at the workstation and a headset/audio device connected there.

In Remote Desktop Mode, the telephony functions and AudioChat supported by Softphone can be used in full. VideoChat and screen sharing can only be started or accepted via the local ProCall Enterprise Client. An incoming VideoChat can only be accepted as an AudioChat on the remote client.

To activate/deactivate the Remote Desktop Mode: in the ProCall client settings under General - Advanced. As a user, you can specify here whether your ProCall Client should accept or allow remote control.

SIP trunk connection for Atos Unify OpenScape Business

Softphone functions via SIP system networking now also possible with Unify OpenScape Business.

Until now, the ProCall Enterprise softphone functions for Unify OpenScape Business could only be used with a subscriber connection (SIP extension), now also for the connection via "SIP trunk".

With ProCall 8.4 Enterprise, it is now possible to use the softphone functions via SIP system networking (e.g. Native Trunk) for Unify OpenScape Business as well, eliminating the need to purchase costly subscriber licenses. In order to be able to respond flexibly to customer requirements, the two connection variants can be mixed as required and operated in parallel.

Revision of the ChatGPT integration

ChatGPT is now even more powerful and secure! With the latest update, ProCall ChatGPT 4 and the Azure OpenAI Service now supports DALL-E 3 .

Please note that DALL-E 2 is no longer available.

Our current improvements in the ChatGPT integration are aimed at increased user-friendliness and security including an optimized configuration area, improved error messages and a new security feature that makes the API key invisible. Users can also now reset the context themselves using the "/clear" command.
It is also possible to disable the streaming of responses by adjusting the configuration file.

Further advantages are that models such as GPT-4 (1106-preview) can be used with the latest training data (April 2023) - hosted within Europe - and more up-to-date data is supplied.
Furthermore, the chatbot user can now also be used in conjunction with the multimedia business card .
