Mizu Webphone - Mizu Voip

Do I need to install java on my web or voip server?No.Do I need some kind of third-party media server or Mizutech service?No. The webphone will connect directly to your softswitch or SIP proxy. There is no need to any additional software components or services for the webphone.No.Is the webphone using any Mizutech service or will contact Mizutech servers?The webphone will connect to your voip server directly.The webphone might contact Mizutech servers for the following reasons:-demo versions might contact Mizutech licensing servers time to time. This is completely removed in final builds (after your order)-applet launcher script is set to www.mizu-voip.com/webphonedeploy.js in some examples. You can rewrite it to www.java.com/js/deployJava.js or justdownload this short java scrip file from any of the previously mentioned locations and store in on your web server.-the applet will use a random stun server by default hosted by Mizutech. This light stun protocol is usually not required for normal functionality so you can safelydisable it (set the “use_stun” applet parameter to 0) or set the “stunserveraddress” applet parameter to your stun server.What software do I need to be able to use/deploy the webphone?‣ Webserver (rented, hosted)‣ Some server side scripts if more customization/changes are necessary that is permitted by html applet parameters of from java script‣ Voip access (one of the followings):• account(s) at any VoIP service provider OR• a free or open source VoIP server (asterisk, openSIPS) OR• rent a softswitch (SaaS) OR• purchase a server with commercial support (Mizutech, Cisco, brekeke, etc)Are there benefits or drawbacks making SIP calls using Java applet vs a Flash component?Flash doesn’t have the codec’s commonly used in VoIP (such as g711 (pcmu/pcma), gsm, speex, g.729, g.723, etc) and plugins are not allowed. It has only itsproprietary codec, so all implementation will need a separate “media gateway” which will do the conversion. Please note that codec conversion should beavoided in VoIP whenever possible because sound quality loss, high resource utilization, additional costs and additional network complexity.Is there any way to get the source code?The VoIP applet is a close-source application. The source code is available only for internal usage and for a higher price.Can the apple size be reduced?Although the default applet size is very small by default (with a download time less than one second with a good internet connection), we can reduce the size ofyour copy even more by removing some components not used by you. Contact us about the possibilities. You might be required to pay for this additionalcustomization. The applet can be also cached by the browser client (so it is downloaded only the first time when a user visit your page)What kind of licensing options are available?We are usually selling the webphone with unlimited client usage. We have separate pricing options to fulfill all of our customers’ needs and budget:http://www.mizu-voip.com/Software/WebSIPPhone.aspx. Alternatively we can offer the applet as a service with small monthly fees, but this may be not soefficient like the one-time payment (because increased bank fees for small amount of transfers)The calls are routed through the web server?No.The calls are directly routed between the webphone.jar (which is running in the client browser) and your VoIP server(s). From this point of view the webphoneacts as any other SIP endpoint (like a normal softphone or IP Phone).The webphone.jar is downloaded from your web server as any other resource (like an jpg image for example).After the client browser will download the webphone from your webserver the whole functionality has nothing to do anymore with your web server. Thewebphone will connect directly to your VoIP server(s) using SIP/RTP protocols.
