FXS ports now shipping with XSTIM Technology

Effective Immediately: Shipping of FXS-8, FXS-16, and Galaxy Mini with Integrated FXS Ports Using XSTIM® Technology (North America Only)

E-MetroTel is excited to announce that, effective immediately, FXS-8 and FXS-16 cards, and the integrated FXS ports on the Galaxy Mini in North America will ship with the latest version of E‑MetroTel’s XSTIM technology. This upgrade brings a host of benefits, designed to streamline the configuration process and improve deployment efficiency. XSTIM is the default mode of operation for these FXS ports right out of the box, providing a plug-and-play experience for installation.

Key Benefits

  • 80% Reduction in Configuration Time
    Embedded XSTIM enables an optimized setup process that drastically reduces configuration time. This translates to faster deployments and quicker time-to-service.
  • Simplified Configuration Process
    All configurations are managed through the UCX, utilizing our proprietary XSTIM protocol. This unifies the configuration of the FXS-8, FXS-16, and Galaxy Mini with other E‑MetroTel products, eliminating complex or manual configurations.
  • Streamlined Firewall Management
    With XSTIM technology, firewall ingress and egress for the FXS-8, FXS-16, and Galaxy Mini are now identical to that of our IP phones and DSM-16 technologies. As a result, you only need to configure the firewall once, making your network setup more efficient and less error-prone.
  • No Extension Credential Coordination Required
    XSTIM eliminates the need to configure extension credentials on both the gateway and the UCX, further simplifying the setup process.
  • Exclusive E‑MetroTel Capabilities
    These capabilities—integrated configuration through the UCX, simplified firewall management, and credential-free extension registration—are not available from third-party gateways.

High-Density Analog Connectivity

These days, E‑MetroTel’s Green Migration strategy for maximizing re-use of existing phones and wiring infrastructure is critical to reduce costs. We believe E‑MetroTel now delivers one of the highest-density analog phone gateway solutions in the industry, along with E-MetroTel’s recent introduction of our Green Call Box, making UCX systems especially well-suited for environments like:

  • Hospitals
  • Senior Living Facilities
  • Hotels and Hospitality Environments

A Unified Experience Across UCX Solutions

The benefits of XSTIM technology extend beyond just FXS gateway solutions to include E‑MetroTel’s UCX premise and cloud solutions, ensuring a consistent, efficient, and unified deployment experience across all E‑MetroTel’s offerings.
