Thanks for the helpful reply.
Listeners
| OR: Yes, the sipxproxy service listens for SIP extensions on 5060
| and 5061, whereas sipxbridge listens for SIP trunks on 5080 and 5081.
Thanks. Perhaps when the documentation is updated, those ports and
names of listening processes together with the UDP RDP ranges might be
helpful.
UI - Deletion of entries from Aliases
| OR: We must have missed that, and it is still indeed a fault. Will
| be fixed next update.
Thanks.
Identification of Users & Devices
> This appears to imply a 1:1 between device and user.
| OR: It is common to use a short number / extension number as a unique
| system user ID.
Agreed, but in evaluating various offerings, an implied "Extension
Number" model often points to a more PBX use case than desired here.
I wish to reduce the possibility of extension number guessing.
c.f. sendmail or postfix accepting mail for delivery that is addressed

Users & Devices Model
| Extensions or ‘Phones' in sipXcom terminology have a many-to-many
| relationship with Users, meaning a User can be represented on many
| Phones and a Phone can have many Users.
Great, so what's the intersection entity?
| It is perhaps also worth mentioning we at OnRelay also extend this
| User ID to mobile / cellular users in our MBX service, which e.g.
| also supports parallel rings between cell phones and SIP phones.
Given near universal smart phone ownership today, this is arguably now
more useful than "Follow Me". Done here too, but using a SIP client.
| To see the supported Phone models, go to the Devices - Phones panel
| and select the Add Phone dropdown there.
Seen that - great. Need here is less auto-provisioning (use custom
config) than directory ("Contacts" or Phone Book) maintenance.
Roadmap
| We are just about to share a 27.01 roadmap where a WebRTC client
| will be an important addition to sipXcom as well.
Great. Now, a WebRTC conference gateway would be a "killer app"...
Achitecture
| OR: When we took over this project there was quite a lot of online
| knowledge and documentation lying around, and we took the straight-
| forward avenue to import and continue the Wiki that Matt Keys from
| the previous sponsors had nearly completed. The wiki has a decent
| Features section, but not a comprehensive architecture overview.
|
| There is however quite a lot of online documentation that is not
| maintained by us that has been written through the years, such as
| e.g. the Core Dial knowledge base
https://docs.coredial.com.
Good illustration of hooks that have successfully been implemented
Additional WiKis are useful but are no real substitute for a pukka
vendor manual with numbered sections and paragraphs that sets out
architecture, model, configuration etc., but hey, the additional
WiKis are useful so thanks!
Proxy/Registrar Issue
| OR: It doesn’t look like there is anything wrong with your sipXcom
| installation now, so no need to reinstall. Will reply to your other
| post shortly.
Thank you kindly.
Will read and follow before rushing to come back. ;-)
