The following IP-PBXs are supported by Microsoft but have not gone through the formal UCOIP qualification process nor was the testing requested by the vendor. Sufficient internal testing has been performed by Microsoft such that specific configurations are supported by Microsoft (where applicable with known limitations). These configurations utilize the commercially available production SIP trunk interface of the IP-PBX vendor but may not be supported by the IP-PBX vendor. In addition, IP-PBX vendor-provided complete documentation for installation and set-up, release notes, or documented support processes may not be available. Wherever possible, Microsoft will endeavor to provide documentation for installation and set-up.
