New Line of VoIP Business Communication Solutions Released

XE Series high-end IP-PBX models feature built-in redundancy and premium components for top-notch reliability and performance, and an integrated touch panel for easy access to system maintenance features

Xorcom’s XE Series of high-end IP-PBX models feature built-in redundancy and premium components for top-notch reliability and performance, and an integrated touch panel for easy access to system maintenance features.

New Series Simplifies Customer Choices

Xorcom sells its business communication solutions through an international reseller channel. “Feedback from our channel drove us to create the new series,” states Eran Gal, CEO and co-founder of Xorcom. “On the one hand, our current systems’ modularity created an almost unlimited number of configurations, which is attractive. However, this type of flexibility can also be confusing. We realized we could divide our customers into two groups: those with standard telephony requirements, and those whose call volumes and additional applications mandated a more powerful phone system, or that have stricter policies about networking and reliability. The first group is served by our existing XR series, while the latter will benefit from the more robust XE series.”

Premium Components in XE Series Support Intensive Communication Environments

All Xorcom IP-PBX models are designed to ensure the reliability customers expect from a proprietary system, while providing the flexibility, scalability, easy integration and competitive pricing afforded by an open source platform. The XE series is no exception. All components are optimized to work in a business communications environment. In addition, each XE model supports:

• two Ethernet ports
• a second Hard Disk Drive (HDD) for built-in RAID1 functionality
• redundant fans for cooling
• an internal backup and restore utility
• front panel USB access

Touch Panel on New XE Series of IP-PBX Streamlines Administrative Tasks

The multi-function LCD on each XE series model allows the system administrator to perform several of the most common functions directly on the front panel of the PBX, without having to attach a keyboard and monitor. The touch panel uses a text-based menu tree to facilitate monitoring, maintenance and troubleshooting of the entire telephony system. For example, the touch panel supports the following actions:

• Status of active systems, including:
  • all configured IP addresses
  • TwinStar (dual-server redundancy)
  • Redundant Power Supply (when configured)
  • Blink ports (extensions, channels, XPD and SPAN)
  • Active calls
• Maintenance issues, including:
  • Asterisk restart
  • DAHDI restart
  • Server reboot
  • Server power off
• Settings, including:
  • Enable/disable DHCP
  • Manual IP configuration
