Welcome Messages from the Proxy
The proxy supports "welcome messages", which are nothing more than messages that are
understood by the Messenger. To send messages from the proxy, make sure that you select the
MESSAGE method and use the Content-Type "text/plain". The event field should stay empty.
The attachment file must point to a file that can be read by the proxy. The easiest way to ensure
this is to use an absolute path to the file.
The file must contain plain ASCII text file generated by Microsoft Word so as to avoid
problems from other text processing software. It is also possible to send media types other
than plain text.
Adding a Phone to the Contact List
To make phone calls to frequently used contacts more convenient, you can add a phone
to the contacts list. Just enter the URL of the phone; after some time of negotiation, the phone
becomes available on this contact list.
Current versions of the phone do not explicitly state their availability. However, when a
phone becomes unavailable (e.g. by do not disturb), it will inform the Messenger.
Proxy and Messenger on the same Computer
When the proxy and the Messenger run on the same computer, typically both are
requesting port 5060. This generates a conflict that may lead to a failure of either the proxy
or the Messenger. In Windows 2000, the operating system does not complain about the port
conflict and both programs will start up. However, some of the messages intended to go to the
proxy will go to the Messenger. Therefore, it is not possible to run Messenger and the proxy
on the same host with Windows 2000. In Windows XP, the Messenger will take a different port
if port 5060 is already occupied by the proxy. Therefore, it must be made sure that the proxy
starts up before the Messenger starts. This is usually the case when the proxy is configured for
automatic starting. However, it is recommended to avoid running the proxy and the Messenger
on the same machine.
