Avaya one-X Deskphone XML Designer Release 2.0 was made generally available in September 2010. The release fixes a number
of issues reported in Release 1.0: see the Release Notes under Documentation below for details.
The release supersedes Release 1.0 and should be used with 9600 Series SIP Releases 2.5 (made generally available December 2009) and 2.6
(made generally available June 2010).
Avaya one-X SIP Deskphones offer significant user interface customization capabilities, enabling developers to define the content and look-and-feel
of the display screen. The Avaya one-X Deskphone XML Designer helps developers create the Deskphone XML and Skin XML files that define customized
deskphone user interface content and look-and-feel. Customized content includes menus, softkeys and labels; customized look-and-feel includes
images and text colors. The associated Avaya 96x0 SIP Deskphone Emulator allows developers to preview and test the customization files they
create with the Deskphone XML Designer.

The Deskphone XML Designer and 96x1 Series SIP Deskphone Emulator work in conjunction with other Avaya tools to provide a complete
development environment:
- Avaya Aura Solution for Midsize Enterprise provides a development configuration of Avaya Aura Communication Manager
and Session Manager, required to register the Emulator at an extension.
- Avaya IP Deskphone PushSDK: a Java-based toolkit for creating Avaya Push API-based deskphone applications, used by
the Designer to Push Deskphone XML to the Emulator.
- Deskphone XML Validator: if developers choose to manually edit the customization files created by the Designer, they
can use the Deskphone XML Validator to ensure that the modified files are still valid and well-formed.
See Additional Resources below for links to these tools.
Note: Developers are not required to use the Emulator, or a development configuration, if they have a production or lab
environment already configured with appropriate Avaya SIP deskphones, Avaya Aura Session Manager and Communication Manager.
Important: The Avaya one-X Deskphone XML Designer documentation below describes the use of Avaya IPCoDE to provide an application testing and debugging
environment. Avaya IPCoDE was made end of sale and support in June 2011. Developers are advised to use one of the alternative Avaya Aura
application development configurations that supports SIP users. For more information about currently available developer configurations and their
capabilities, follow the link under Additional Resources below.
