Given its architecture, the sipXecs system is designed to interoperate with other third party feature servers. In addition, as we accomplished our objective of a truly distributed system, several instances of every component can be run on dedicated hardware and in different geographical locations to render a very scalable system. The sipXecs Configuration Server provides plug & play management for core components, all feature servers, as well as connected peripherals such as phones and gateways. An XML-based plug-in framework allows easy inclusion of additional components, both feature servers as well as additional peripherals. Documentation exists about how to add support for additional [phones] and [xecsuser:gateways].
While the different components of the sipXecs system could be used stand-alone, the focus of the project has been to provide a complete sipXecs IP PBX system out-of-the-box. On Fedora, Red Hat, Debian and Gentoo distributions, the sipXecs system can be installed easily using the distributions's respective package management system from our repository.
