Description: IAX VoIP softphone
|
| 15 |
This is an IAX client application (a so called Softphone) which allows
|
| 16 |
PC users to make ordinary VoIP calls to Asterisk servers, the same way
|
| 17 |
as they do it with their hardware telephone. It aims to provide a simple
|
| 18 |
and user-friendly graphical interface and desktop integration for calling,
|
| 19 |
contact list, call register management and easy configuration.
|
| 20 |
.
|
| 21 |
Kiax uses the Inter-Asterisk eXchange, or IAX (TM) Protocol, used as a
|
| 22 |
native communication protocol between Asterisk PBX Servers. What is
|
| 23 |
particularly good in it is that it requires only one UDP port per endpoint to
|
| 24 |
create a successful communication channel for VoIP calls. This makes it much
|
| 25 |
friendlier for users behind NAT, which is not the case with SIP and H.323 -
|
| 26 |
they required specific router configurations for their channel establishment,
|
| 27 |
thus hindering faster spread of VoIP on the home and corporate desktop.
