Version 1.0.19

  • First release of Linkus Desktop Client, a desktop application dedicated for Yeastar P-Series PBX System.

    With Linkus Desktop Client, users can access a full suite of telephony features as Linkus Web Client, while enjoying enhanced privacy and security.

    To use Linkus Desktop Client, system administrator needs to upgrade PBX server to 37.10.0.30 or later, and users need to install Linkus Desktop Client on their computers.
    Note: This application is completely different from the one you have been using. As we rebrand Linkus, there are now two versions available, targeted at different users:
    • : Linkus Desktop Client (dedicated for P-Series PBX System)
    • : Linkus Lite (dedicated for S-Series VoIP PBX, Cloud PBX, and K2 IPPBX) - This is the one that you have been using, and has been renamed to distinguish it from the new application. We recommend that you use the new Linkus Desktop Client as the Linkus Lite supports limited features and may have compatibility issues.
