Refer to E‑MetroTel Phones for a summary of the various client options.
InfinityOne functionality is not supported on the Galaxy Mini hardware platform.

MDSE functionality should not be used on the same system as InfinityOne.
2. Prerequisites
| Description | Notes |
|---|---|
| Install SSL Certificate | An SSL certificate purchased from E-MetroTel is automatically installed and managed by E-MetroTel. While SSL certificates from other sources can be installed on the UCX, E-MetroTel cannot provide standard support for configuration issues of third party SSL certificates due the variability of the certificate chain and complexity of ensuring that DNS parameters are properly configured in the external network. If E-MetroTel support is required, it will be provided as a billable item. See Generating and Installing a Commercially Signed SSL Certificate |
| The hostname of the UCX system (and InfinityOne) needs to be the same as per the SSL certificate. | If you need to change the hostname, see Infinity Web Client – Network Parameters |
