UCX Software

UCX Software

The Telephony Engine

The UCX software solution contains all of the call control, features and most of the applications. The solution uses open standards, is self-contained in a single server environment, is networkable, and is scalable from 5 to 5000 users.

And don’t be fooled by the layered model – All of the advanced capabilities including legacy Nortel support, telephony interface support, applications, and features, reside in the UCX layer and were written in-house by our development team.

Under the Hood

Every solution requires powerful software under the hood. Our telephony operating system is UCX – The engine for everything we do.

UCX software is written 100% by our development team at E-MetroTel. This means that our customers can rest assured that their telephony solution is secure and free from spyware, viruses, and other problems that can negatively affect business.

And our development team has quite a pedigree. Before becoming part of the initial team at E-MetroTel most of our developers worked on some of the most sophisticated products at Nortel including Meridian 1 / CS1000, Norstar, BCM, ACD, etc.

Appliance, UCX Cloud or Virtualized - Same Software

Whether you use one of our E-MetroTel appliance servers or virtualize it, the UCX software has the same functionality, features, etc.

Our appliances come with s/w pre-loaded and virtualized solutions use the appropriate s/w image.

Full Featured Voice

Everyone needs to talk and whether your solution is cloud or appliance our UCX S/W is loaded with dozens and dozens of valuable voice features. From One Button Dialing to Conferencing to Find Me / Follow Me we have the features that you need to communicate effectively.

And with our Infinity 5000 line of phones with our advanced XSTIM firmware allow for features not available in a typical SIP environment such as Hot Desking between devices and the ability for multiple phones to answer the same incoming call.

Telephony and Device Interfaces

Complete telephony connectivity. UCX software supports all of the standard telephony interfaces: SIP trunking, PRI circuits, and Plain Old Telephone Lines (POTS).

Telephone device connectivity. For telephone and device connectivity the software supports SIP devices, E-MetroTel XSTIM advanced IP devices, Analog devices (including telephones and FAX devices), Nortel Digital telephones.

Simple Remote VPN Support Access

Remote support access to UCX solutions is easy and secure. Via a VPN tunnel any UCX solution whether appliance or virtualized can be managed from any location. Once your initial VPN credentials are established you can manage any of the solutions under your responsibility as easily and as securely as if you were on-site.

Built-in Firewall

Whether appliance or virtualized  in the interest of security, UCX software includes a built-in firewall that can be used standalone or used in conjunction with your office firewall.

Automated Software Updates

Scheduled automated updates. Keep all of your systems (appliance or virtualized) updated without worry or hassle.

Our UCX software allows you to schedule your system to automatically update on a daily, weekly, monthly, or quarterly basis. So if you are an administrator or system manager in a company that has single or multiple systems or an E-MetroTel reseller managing numerous systems you avoid the complications of keeping every location updated and running on the most currently load of software.

Massive Scalability

UCX solutions, whether Appliance, Virtualized or in the Cloud use the same software. Appliance solutions are delivered with the software pre-loaded. Virtualized or Cloud solutions are installed via a UCX S/W image.
