Infinity Connect desktop client

Infinity Connect desktop client version 2.3 was released in July 2016. The previous version was 2.1. Following are the changes between 2.1 and 2.3:

Feature Description More information
Change to the install directory on Windows

Version 2.3 is installed in the user’s apps directory (C:\\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Apps) whereas version 2.1 was installed in C:\\Program Files.

For this reason, when upgrading from (or downgrading to) 2.1 on Windows you need to uninstall the existing client first. If you don’t you will end up with the two versions of the client installed.

 
Admin rights not required Users do not require admin rights in order to install the software on Windows.  
64-bit Windows version now available We have made available a 64-bit version of the Infinity Connect desktop client for Windows, in addition to the existing 32-bit version.  
Logging to file

The log file is named application.log and can be found in the following locations:

  • Linux:
    ~/.config/Pexip Infinity Connect/Default/application.log
  • OSX:
    ~/Library/Application Support/Pexip Infinity Connect/Default/application.log
  • Windows:
    %LOCALAPPDATA%\Pexip Infinity Connect\User Data\Default\application.log
 
New DNS library This resolves a bug where the srv records would not be properly resolved when switching networks while the application was running.  
Support for conference PINs in URLs

You can now include a PIN in URLs that link to the Infinity Connect desktop client. URLs are in the format:

  • pexip://<alias>
  • pexip://<alias>?<pin>
  • pexip://<alias>?pin=none (for links to conferences with a Host PIN but no Guest PIN, and you want the participant to join as a Guest).
Creating preconfigured links to conferences via Infinity Connect
In-call volume control and audio device selection Users can now change the level of the audio received from the conference, and change the device being used to receive audio, while they are in a call. Using Infinity Connect in-call controls
DTMF controls usability The dial pad used to send DTMF tones to a participant now opens in semi-transparent draggable dialog instead of inside the participant info dialog. Using Infinity Connect in-call controls
Additional option when adding a participant When adding a participant to a conference, users have an additional protocol option of Automatic. In order for this to take effect, the administrator must have configured appropriate Call Routing Rules that apply to Outgoing calls from a conference. Alternatively, you may wish to remove the Automatic option from the drop-down menu by editing the settings.js file (for more information, see Customizing the Infinity Connect desktop client).
