Third-party product interoperability

Last Updated : Nov 12, 2024 |

Interoperability with third-party products

Due to its open implementation and rich feature set, Avaya SBC can be deployed and implemented with non-Avaya based solutions such as Cisco Call Manager or Microsoft Lync call servers and Internet Telephony Service Providers. Contact Avaya sales personnel to receive information about the interoperability that is tested, confirmed by Avaya or a third party, and certified in some scenarios.

Avaya recommends that all third-party integrations and vendors go through Avaya DevConnect Compliance Testing to ensure a higher level of comfort in the interoperability between DevConnect member products and Avaya solutions, we recognize that is not always the case. If a third-party product or product integration is not tested under DevConnect, and a customer support ticket is raised to Avaya services via an authorized Avaya support channel, Avaya will troubleshoot the issue to the Avaya demarcation point with the third-party vendor to the best of its ability. If no issue is found on the Avaya side, Avaya will close the ticket and report to the customer that the issue needs to be worked with the third-party vendor.

Third-party SIP endpoint interoperability

Avaya SBC does not officially support the registration of third-party SIP endpoints. When used in combination with Avaya applications such as Avaya Oceana®, Avaya Meetings Server, or Avaya Equinox® Meetings Online, Avaya SBC does not support third-party SIP endpoints unless validated by these Avaya offers or applications.

External SAL gateway interoperability

When Secure Access Link (SAL) is used for remote access to the Avaya SBC for Avaya services, the customer must provide a SAL Gateway. Customers can buy the SAL Gateway from Avaya. Customers can also provide the SAL Gateway if the server complies with the SAL requirements specified on the Avaya Support website at http://support.avaya.com. Sometimes, a System Platform integrated SAL Gateway can be used instead of buying another server. For more information, see Product Support Notice PSN003058u.
