Overview
What it is all about
A major design principle for innovaphone products is being based on standards strictly.
While this brings a number of substantial advantages to the customers, amongst others a huge base of 3rd applications that can work with innovaphone gear, it may sometimes create headaches for the innovaphone professional in charge of designing solutions. H450, TAPI, Empty Termcaps, DSS1, H.245, XML, SS7, .... it's easy to get lost in the standards jungle! Application interoperability thus is key to successful integration with 3rd party software.
3rd-party product categories
3rd-party products are exclusively tested by their respective vendors and may be qualified as Referral Product or listed here in this Wiki as Partner App (in the case of a 3rd-Party app as described below) if there is a written documentation made available in our wiki.
In case of any doubts concerning interoperability innovaphone recommends to do a Proof-Of-Concept to ensure interworking between innovaphone and the 3rd-party product.
We differentiate 3rd-party products into the following three main categories:
3rd-party terminals
These are 3rd-party (S)IP-terminals which have been interop tested successfully with innovaphone PBXes.
To provide comparable results for our partners and customers, we impone generic Guidelines for Testing 3rd-party SIP Terminal Devices to be followed.
Tests and also documentation need to follow those guidelines to be documented within our wiki and get innovaphone referral product status.
3rd-party apps – aka Partner Apps
These 3rd-party Apps are developed exclusively for the innovaphone myApps environment using the innovaphone SDK and they are published in the innovaphone App Store.
Partner Apps in the App Store may or may not be listed here in the Wiki, so be sure to have a look in the App Store so as not to overlook some Partner Apps.
For App Development Partners who want their App to be listed in the Wiki in addition to publishing it in the App Store innovaphone provides a wiki-article on how to proceed.
Other 3rd-party products
Other 3rd-pty products except terminals and Partner Apps are categorized according to their usecase.
Available categories and existing products can be seen below.
For those 3rd-party-products, we as well require to do interoperability tests towards innovaphone products.
Those tests have to be done also by either the 3rd-party-product manufacturer or a partner which owns the 3rd-party-products. innovaphone itself does not care about those tests and will not support them.
In order to be listed as innovaphone referral product a wiki-article must be provided which is conform to the guideline for Testing 3rd Party Products.
What is a potential candidate for a 3rd party product?
Any product that actually interfaces to innovaphone gear may be considered as referral product. However, as a rule of thumb, we do not list nor test basic network infrastructure devices.
What has to be done to list a new 3rd party product?
Follow below mentioned approval guidelines for
