VoIP: SIP-over-TLS and sRTP: Unify

Unify (former Siemens Enterprise Communications; SMC). Although not advertised, those devices come not with HFA enabled but with a SIP-enabled firmware out of the box, which does not need any central configuration/provisioning server. Even then, you can flash HFA to SIP. Thanks to the built-in Web-based Management (WBM), attaching the phone to your Digium Asterisk, for example, is possible. However, certificate installation was not tested because it requires a Deployment Service (DLS), which is simply an app requiring Windows Server 2012 R2 Standard (or can be built by yourself with the help of the official guide). By the way, the Web interface allows the upload of ringtones but not certificates; go figure!
