From: sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org [mailto:sipx-users-boun...@list.sipfoundry.org] On Behalf Of Philippe Laurent Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2012 2:37 PM To: Discussion list for users of sipXecs software Subject: Re: [sipx-users] Bria for iphone/ipod touch registration Having struggled a bit myself in the earlier days with sipx (after having migrated away from asterisk because it was even more of a nightmare to administer), I will say that DNS is everything. You don't have to auto provision anything, if you don't want to. In fact, I've found it good practice to manually configure some things so that I understand what needs to be done once it works. Some things I found to be consistent regardless if you provision addresses manually or via DHCP: - Do point the primary DNS server on the client to the sipx server. No questions here, as long as sipx is set to serve DNS. This for ME has always been the best course of action. Less confusion. - Do point the provisioning server on the client to the sipx server, if you ever plan on auto-provision. I use Polycom desk phones for example, and set provisioning server to sipx, and set the type to TFTP. - If given the option, and stuff doesn't work, I do set the outbound proxy to the sipx server if I have to set stuff up manually. - Muck with as little as possible on the sipx server. I've found that the defaults for many items are the correct setting. Unless you absolutely know that the change you're about to make is the correct one. I'm still very much a novice from a sipx point of view, even after a little over a year, but I've come to appreciate it's stability, administration ease, and flexibility.

I'll remove the settings and see what happens. On DNS: I never received a straight answer on this, so I'll ask it again. IF during sipX install, I chose to have DNS installed and running on the sipX server AND IF sipX auto configs DNS correctly, THEN how could DNS not be setup correctly? I've made no changes to DNS. I've also been told that I do not need external SRV records IF I'm using the DNS server installed on the sipX server. That makes complete sense if I have no remote phones or only have remote phones which can download profiles via FTP, etc. However, in the case of the Bria iphone client, which only now have I been informed does not have the ability to provision and must be configed manually, IF I do not set the Out. Proxy manually, how would the client know what the proxy is when it is not on the office network and so there are no SRV records? Tony, in a previous email you stated that Bria's mobile clients can not provision "remotely." No one ever mentioned that they could not be provisioned centrally at all and when I asked about the provisioning no one responded. I understand this is free support so no one has to. The whole point of setting the Bria/ipod combo up is to operate as a remote phone which is not behind a VPN. This was one of the solutions recommended to me on this forum. IF this is a remote phone connecting anywhere there is a wifi connection AND there are no external SRV records AND if it can not be provisioned centrally at all AND the outbound proxy is not entered manually, how is it supposed to work correctly? I'm not being forces to use sipX. I tried several other open source SIP solutions and found them all lacking. I'm recommending sipX to my company because I think is the best solution available. I've spent weeks trying to get everything to work correctly and I'm sure to the developers and the long time phone guys that seems ridiculous, but I'm not a phone guy and I've not been working in the guts of this system for months and years so I'm just asking for a little clarity so I can keep moving this project forward.

Proxy: sipx.datatek-net.com Auth Name: 295 There are no other settings to enter and there is no place to enter a Provisioning Server as mentioned on the wiki page: http://wiki.sipfoundry.org/display/sipXecs/Counterpath+Bria+Softphone As I mentioned in an earlier email. I was able to get Media5Fone working on an iphone with the same settings above. Any thoughts?
