Interoperability with SIP Phones

We have made every attempt to make the SipExchange server compliant with the SIP standards so that you can use SIP-compliant SIP phones with SipExchange. But we are finding out that not all SIP phones are working with SipExchange because either early versions of SipExchange has some limitations or more likely, the SIP phones do not comply to standards fully. So we have decided to try out SipExchange with various SIP phones to verify their level of interoperability. The following table describes our experience with the phones. Your comments are very welcome.  If you have tried SipExchange with other SIP phones, please let us know your experience.

X-Lite for Windows and Linux - Free
 Counterpath (formerly XTen)

 This is a very nice phone and we have used this phone from the very beginning to test out our SIP projects. The Windows version works very well with SipExchange but we have not tried the Linux version yet. The phone  supports voice calls, IM and presence operations (buddy list) and all of these functions seem to work well with SipExchange.

Counterpath offers non-free SIP soft phones that are full-featured - supports voice, video, buddy list and the works. We have not tested the server with these phones though.
 Please see this page showing the configuration screens -  X-Lite setup.
Pocket PC Softphone for Windows Mobile - Commercial
 Counterpath (formerly XTen)

 This is a very nice phone that works on PDAs running Windows Mobile operating system.  The phone works very well with SipExchange. As with most PDA applications, the phone supports only basic functionalities compared to the offerings on a full-blown operating system. The phone supports voice calls only and does not support presence operations and instant messaging.

NOTE: It appears that Counterpath is not offering this software for sale any longer. It is a pity because the phone worked well.
 From the bottom-level menu, select System Settings -> Sip Proxies.

Setup the Username entry as the name of the subscriber that was created, Domain as the domain to which the subscriber was assigned. Enter the password provisioned for the subscriber. For the SIP Proxy and Outb Proxy entries, enter the name of the SipExchange server.

 This phone works well with SipExchange. The voice and the IM works well. The phone does not provide video capability yet. Unfortunately, the presence functionality offered by this phone is not supported by SipExchange yet.
 From the top-level menu, select Options->Configurations.

From the Server tab, enter the IP address/ host name of SipExchange as the Proxy/Registrar. The domain/realm value must match the domain name you created from the SipExchange Console.

From the user tab, enter the user name, authentication name and password. The names must match the user name configured from the SipExchange Console.
