S100-FX

Created by: ibh,Last modification on Wed 01 of Nov, 2006 [13:29 UTC] by ckone
Advertised on their website since about June 2005, the S100-FX is an IAX2-ethernet adapter targeted directly at the IAXy market. The company also advertises an "original" X100P card, with matching PCI ids for simple installation.


Background


Seems that the product is shipped from an address in Hong Kong, but the sales department is out of British Columbia (Canada).


Documentation



Setup is reasonable, but for the quickest path to success, here are some tips.
  • The units come configured with static IP: 192.168.1.100. To setup S100-FX to use DHCP without using a computer, please try:

    • Pick up the handset and the status light will come on.
    • Dial 12341, and the "Tel" light will begin blinking.
    • With the phone still off the hook, press and hold the IP button on the back for 10 seconds. Both the power and "Tel" lights should be solid now.
    • hang up the handset
    • wait for the S100-FX to restarts itself
    • Power cycle the unit if desired

  • If you enable time services and the time server listed is unavailable, the S100-FX will never finish booting up. If you can get away without time services enabled on the device, leave them off.
    • The device doesn't support NTP; apparently, it supports date, which isn't commonly available (and only accurate to ~1 sec).
  • For even more speed, give the device a static IP address, instead of relying on the DHCP server.


At any time if you want to hear what the current IP address assignment is, just press the IP button and then pick up the handset.

To set the unit up for 911 via the PSTN port, it's very simple.
  • Log into the web interface (default password is 1234).
  • Set the "use dialplan" option to "hotline".
  • Set the "dial number" string to 911.

Now all 911 calls will go to the land line, everything else goes VOIP.

The default IP of the device is 192.168.1.100.

Feature comparison between v2 and the iaxy

  • Supports pass through to a standard analogue phone line.
  • Built in ethernet switch.
  • Web based configuration.
  • Universal voltage power supply.
  • Supports lower bandwidth codecs such as gsm.
  • Does not support message waiting
  • Does not provide callerID name (just number)

Enhance S100-FX to a Dual Mode FXS / FXO Intelligent ATA.


  • X100P.com announces STOC-FX, Professional Grade FXS to FXO Converter for All VoIP ATAs and Asterisk FXS Ports
  • Make or Receive VoIP calls on the Road!

333Bought 3 bad echo issue

by jozwikjp, Monday 30 of June, 2008 [16:27:51 UTC]
We bought 3 of these I am not sure why.. Probably because of the lack of reviews..
The audio on our end seems to be fine however the audio on the other end gets back background noise / echo..
The company is extremely hard to get a response from. I doubt there will ever be a firmware update as there site seems to be in a perpetual not finished state.
Until I get a response from them on this or they release a fix or at least acknowledge this on there site or setup a support section.. I would consider this company to have a prey on the uninformed consumers until we can get rid of these ATA business model.
Firmware version V1.49.002

If I am wrong please feel free to email me / let me know as I will be more then happy not to be out $200 bucks.

333Difficult to work with...

by ironhead, Thursday 13 of December, 2007 [04:43:04 UTC]
We have 4 of these S100-FX 2.0 with firmware V1.49.002. They have been quite difficult. We still suffer from various echo problems that I have been unable to pinpoint. We were using a trixbox VMware image, but after switching to a stand-alone and a Sangoma A200D (2fxo/2fxs) we are still getting echo with calls from this iax2 phone. Sometimes they work fine, but other times the quality is suspect and borderline unusable.

I would like to point out that when I followed the 911 'hotline' instructions above, it turned my phone into a 911 hotline. I simply picked up the receiver and 911 was there... Not what I wanted. Maybe it would be cool if I could get a direct line to the Kremlin and a red phone to match my red stapler - pick up the phone and whella, but not what I'm looking for.

I use it as IP first with a 9 prefix for PSTN. I am concerned, however, that someone will try and call 911 in an emergency, instead of 9,911 and it would go VOIP instead of PSTN and call the 911 operator in a city far-far away. I don't know how to resolve this due to such poor documentation. I'll try another support email.

333Static noise

by martinmasson, Saturday 09 of June, 2007 [03:50:31 UTC]
I got the same noise problem with some phones, I was able to bypass the problem by connecting the device very far from an actual phone, actually in my server cabinet. But whenever it's connected directly to certain phones it make an unbelievable noise.

The client who was supposed to have this device, refused it. So I exchanged it for a IAXy, works like a champ!

Also, the CallerID names don't work and there is no support, no firmwares, no clues, nothing on the X100P.com site...
The only nice thing I found, is that it supports the g.729 codec.

I got both an IAXy and a S100-FX, and I would easily recommend the IAXy. We tried this device because of the lack of ringback on the IAXy, but it's unbearable.

333Re: Firmware and static noise

by nocternal, Wednesday 09 of May, 2007 [00:39:10 UTC]
Same here - high pitch noise. I've tried several different power adapters (notebook, radio, etc). I had the unit replaced - they sent one out in advance - that unit still has the problem as well. This all occured in the summer of 2006 - I'm still using the unit with the noise problem. Cisco ATA works better (callerid, callwaiting, etc) — except NAT — ughh :)

I'm also experiencing a high pitched static ... Did you found something to solve the problem?

Everything else works great with it.

333Firmware and static noise

Where does one get firmware for these things?

Is anyone else experiencing a high pitched static with this thing?

333No disconnect?

by undrhil, Friday 30 of June, 2006 [05:26:31 UTC]
I have a S100-FX hooked up on my home phones through TrixBox. When I call in and transfer to the extension for the home phones, the call goes through like it should, but when my answering machine answers (an old-school answering machine) and I leave a message and hang up, the machine continues to record the "busy tone" which the s100-fx plays. Is there something I am missing in configuring either the s100 or Asterisk on how to get it to hang up the line right when I hang up?

333Documentation? Howto? Anyone?

by ibh, Friday 27 of January, 2006 [22:55:32 UTC]
I just received one of these in the mail, and there's no CD, no single-page handout, nothing. There are no docs listed on the web site, either. (And it looks like they're on vacation this weekend, just my luck....)

So, does anyone have the docs for this device? Or even a clue on how to get it running (it hasn't even tried to get an IP address via DHCP yet)?
