3.1 2N® EasyGate Pro parameters configuration
PC Connection
For connection to PC is dedicated USB connection, for dual SIM version RS232 interface.
EasyGate Parameter Programming
All EasyGate parameters have such default values that meet most users’ demands and
need not be changed. To change EasyGate parameters in spite of that, you can either:
Use a PC with the PCManager UNI installed. All functions supported by EasyGate can be set using the PC.
Or use the DTMF programming on a telephone line. Not all functions can be set in this way.
Telephone Line based Programming
1. Hook off the telephone, you can hear the dial tone or the busy tone, and the Line LED starts flashing.
2. Enter the service password (12345 by default, can be changed) with the DTMF; to cancel a wrong password hang up before sending the character.
3. To confirm password enter a .
4. If you have entered a correct password, you hear the confirmation tone. If not, the dialed number may be sent to the mobile network as a call. To prevent this, hang up when you do not hear the confirmation tone.
5. EasyGate shall remain in the programming mode until hang-up.
6. Enter the number of the parameter to be programmed and press a . If the parameter number is correct, you can hear the confirmation tone, if not, you get the refusal tone and can re-enter the parameter number.
7. When the parameter number is confirmed, enter the allowed parameter value and press a . If the parameter value is in the allowed range, you can hear the saving tone, if not, you get the refusal tone. You can enter another parameter number in either case.
Numeric parameters are programmed using numbers in units included in the parameter description. For YES/NO parameters use for YES and for NO.
To cancel any programming step in the programming mode, press a . Having done so, you can hear the refusal tone and can enter a new parameter number. Parameters are saved when the saving tone is transmitted. Hang up to quit programming.
Example:
Dial Confirmation Description
Password entering, OK
Transmission volume parameter, OK
Set to medium level, saved
Non-existent parameter number, refusal
PC based Programming
For programming, connect EasyGate to a PC with a USB cable, dual SIM version with serial cable, and make sure that the PCManager UNI is installed. Programming is intuitive and easy. All steps are accompanied with texts hints above all items you point at with the mouse.
EasyGate data uploading and storing, including firmware upgrade, are executed in a special mode, in which EasyGate waits for about 3s after power up (all LEDs are on). If instructed so by the PCManager UNI during this timeout, EasyGate remains in this mode as long as it is necessary. If EasyGate is not reset after the PCManager UNI is terminated, switch the system off and on again.

Installation and setting of EasyGate PCManager (Win7)
1. Connect EasyGate to the PC using USB connection. EasyGate must be switched off.
2. After connecting is the virtual serial port in PC installed automatically. I case, that the port doesn’t install automatically and unknown device is detected, install drivers by using file: Drivers/win/CDM20814_Setup.exe.
3. Find the number of virtual port using Device manager. Look at setting of COM ports and find port marked as USB Serial Port(COMn).
4. Install PCManagerSmG from CD.
5. Run EasyGate PCManager, select the language on the upper bar.
6. In menu Program select Setup. Set the COM port – local and select COM port number according information from point 3.
Using of PCManager - basic
1. The main purpose of PCManager UNI is setting of configuration and upgrade firmware of EasyGate.
2. When the configuration in EasyGate should be changed, the configuration must be first loaded from EasyGate, than edited using PCManager and finaly saved back to EasyGate.
3. The groups of parameters are listed is in the left window of the program. All parameters are described in next part of this manual. There is interactive help in PCManager for all parameters.
4. When you start with any operation which needs communication with EasyGate, the gateway must be switched to special programming mode. PCManager will show you the demand to switch the gateway off and on to set it to this mode.
Further Data Handling Options
In addition to the EasyGate memory, settings can be saved in a PC file and reloaded into the PCManager. This is recommended for backing up of current configurations or saving the same configuration to another Easy Gate unit.
Monitoring
Monitoring is active when EasyGate is in operation and registered to the mobilní network. If EasyGate is not registered to mobile network, the COM is locked and no monitoring can be made.
This simple informative function helps you identify:
The GSM (UMTS) module type and IMEI ID;
The SIM card IMSI ID and selected SMS service centre necessary for SMS sending;
The mobile provider's name and signal strength received by EasyGate - this information helps you find the optimum signal location (the information is updated in 10s intervals);
The EasyGate line status – standby, outgoing call, incoming call including telephone number. The serial port is locked during dialing and incoming call ringing, so the PCManager reports serial port blocking.
The remote monitoring can be done by SMS GGMC (GSM Gateway monitoring center). The phone number for SMS sending and the period of the sending can be set using parameters ‘Telephone number for service SMS’ (714) and ‘Time period for GGMC SMS [h]’ (970).
The SMS message contains following information:
- Serial number of the Gateway
- Period for GGMC SMS sending
- Letter S or R – S – start, after restart, R – running, service in progress
- Firmware version
- Strength of signal – according command AT+CSQ
0 -113 dBm or less 1...30 -111...-53 dBm
31 -51 dBm or greater
99 Not known or not detectable
- Number of calls realized since last restart
Firmware Upgrade
The firmware actualization of 2N® Easy Gate is done in programming mode using PCManager UNI. Description of upgrade follows.
Upgrading procedure:
1. Run the PCManager UNI, select the language for displaying texts on the right- hand side.
2. In menu File use Upgrade or select proper icon from bar. When the gateway is not in programming mode, you will be instructed to switch the gateway on and on.
3. If there is more then one file in the PCManager directory, chose one of them. The upgrade takes place automatically. Do not switch your PC or EasyGate off during the process of upgrading!
3.2 Table of Parameters
All programmable parameters are listed in this section. Each parameter is accompanied with the unit used, function number (if available) for programming via a telephone line, description of EasyGate's behavior, setting options, setting step and default (initialization) value.
Numeric parameters must be set in unit listed in the parameter description. For parameters with different setting are values defined in the parameters description (for phone line programming in parenthesis).

FXS Routing Parameters
All parameters related to the number dialed for an outgoing call are arranged in this table. According to the prefix you can:
Bar the number to be dialed - the calling subscriber hears the busy tone;
Accelerate connection establishing by knowing the number length for the given prefix;
Accelerate connection establishing by allowing to terminate dialing with a #;
Modify the number to be dialed by removing and/or adding digits.
Set tariff metering for the given prefix.
Set time limit for call
Every table line includes a prefix (of variable length) plus parameters that define EasyGate's behavior in case the beginning of the dialed number matches this prefix. The table can contain up to 120 different prefixes.
There may be exceptions to the rule - a number may start with the same digits but has to be served in a different way. Any table line that starts with the same prefix followed by one or more digits is considered an exception of the line with shorter prefix.
Remember to complete the "Other numbers" line for a number whose prefix is not included in the table.
Figure 3.2
Routing table
An example in the figure below shows how to bar all international calls with the exception of calls to Slovakia including dialing acceleration by selecting the number length parameter and tariff setting (5 impulses after call connect and then one impulse every 10 seconds). All other calls are enabled and their tariff is one impulse every 30 second.
In some networks you can add to dialed number # character and PBX subscriber number. Subscriber number is displayed on other side together with CLI. This parameter take place when dialed number doesn't contain # character.
Setting options: 0-8 characters (0-9) Default setting: blank
A prefix identifying the call type (mobile, trunk call, free call, etc.). The letter ‘?’ can be used instead of any number. "Other numbers" line is used for calls with prefixes that are not included in the table.
Setting options: 0-14 characters (0-9,*,#) Default setting: blank
This parameter allows/bars calls with prefixes included on the same line.

Special function – with FW 1.5x and 3.5x only. Don’t use this parameter and the menu ‘Free minutes bank’, with detailed setting of free minutes banks, for standard Easy Gate.
GSM or UMTS routing parameters
Incoming calls from mobile network contain the CLI. According to received CLI Easy Gate can do following:
• Reject the call;
• Use function CallBack – automatic call to the GSM subscriber;
• Automatic dial in. EasyGate dials preprogrammed PBX subscriber number (for example switchboard operator) to be connected with calling subscriber.
Timeout between FXS line Off-Hook and automatic dial in according to parameter "Dial in" in the table.
Setting options: 100-25500 ms Setting step: 100 ms
Default setting: 2000 ms
Parameter sets up a behaviour for CallBack function. You've got 2 options how to use a Callback on the FXS port:
Simple CallBack - set up for 0. During an incoming call the FXS port gives a ringing. When the FXS port is off-hooked an incoming call is rejected and after 10s the gateway calls back. During those 10s the caller must hang up to be ready for answering the callback call. On the FXS port a melody is played.
Advanced Callback - set up for 1-255. During an incoming call the FXS port gives a ringing. If the caller wants to use a callback functionality he/she must hang up before the parameter Max. ring time for Callback runs out. The gateway then calls back immediately. If the call is answered on the analog side earlier the called party hears the melody. If the call is answered on the mobile network side
first then the calling party number hears the melody. If the caller doesn't want to use the Callback he just doesn't hang up and the call is handled as a standard incoming call.
Setting options: 0-255 s Setting step: 1 s Default setting: 5 s

4 Function and Use
This section describes the basic and extending functions of the product
2N® EasyGate Pro
Here is what you can find in this section:
Voice function
FAX and Data function (optional)
SMS Sending Input
USB data connection
SIM Card PIN protection.
4.1 Voice function
Outgoing and incoming call establishing procedures for an analog telephone are described for illustration. The procedures are the same for the EasyGate-PBX connection, just remember to program call routing to PBX line with connected EasyGate properly. Check EasyGate’s function by connecting a telephone before.
Suppose that a SIM card has been inserted, the PIN code entered or not required, the antenna connected and EasyGate registered to the mobile network – the LED network is permanently on - and you can hear the dial tone upon off-hook.
Outgoing Call
1. Hook off the telephone, you can hear the dial tone and the LED Line starts flashing.
2. Dial the required subscriber number. Since EasyGate receives tone dialing by default, select the DTMF mode. If your telephone transmits pulse dialing only, program EasyGate to receive pulse dialing.
3. The delay between digits to be dialed may not exceed 5 s (programmable parameter). After the latest digit and this delay the dialing end is signaled and connection is established.
4. If the called subscriber is available, you can hear the ringing tone. If not, you can hear the busy tone or any of the mobile network provider’s messages.
5. When the called subscriber answers the call, a call is established. The LED Line is permanently on during the call.
6. Hang up to terminate the call. The LED Line goes off. If the called subscriber is the first to hang up, you can hear the busy tone and hang up.
Incoming Call
1. Ringing signals an incoming call. The Line LED flashes during ringing. If programmed so, EasyGate transmits the CLIP by FSK between the first and second rings. Advanced telephone sets are able to display the CLI.
2. Hook off the phone to establish the call. The Line LED is permanently on during the call.
3. Hang up to terminate the call. The Line LED goes off. If the called subscriber is the first to hang up, you can hear the busy tone and hang up.
Automatic Call ("Baby Call")
If the BabyCall function is enabled, a pre-programmed period of time is counted down after off-hook. If you do not start dialing within this timeout, EasyGate signals dialing end and starts establishing a call to the pre-programmed number automatically – from now on EasyGate behaves as if a standard outgoing call had been established. Any dialing during the BabyCall timeout cancels this function and a standard outgoing call can be made.
Tariff pulses 16 or 12 kHz
EasyGate has tariff pulse transmitter. You can use tariff pulses for outgoing call pricing. EasyGate offer pseudotariff only – tariff metering doesn’t correspond to real price of call, tariff pulses are transmitted according to programmed parameters and call duration. You must program specific parameters in call table to set tariff metering for different prefixes of dialed numbers.
You can also program EasyGate to transmit tariff pulses as call connect/disconnect signaling if your PBX cannot receive telephone line polarity change signaling.
Configuration of network services
EasyGate provides some of network services to improve possibility of usage. The configuration is done by standard Star-Hash codes you can know from mobile phones.
To configure these services:
1. Hook off the telephone, you can hear the dial tone.
2. Enter the Star-Hash code described below.
3. Wait for information tone. You may wait about 3 seconds.
4. Hook on.
Information tones:
Confirmation - OK:
Confirms that the service was configured correctly.

To terminate all held calls, or reject waiting call dial:
To terminating active call and accept the held or waiting call dial:
To place the active call on hold and accept the held or waiting call (switching between two calls) or
To place the active call on hold to have possibility to dial other outgoing call dial:
To place all held calls to active calls and set up conference call dial:
To connect the two calls (active and held) and disconnect the EasyGate from both calls dial:
4.2 FAX and Data function
Only EasyGate GSM with fax converter supports fax and data functions. Fax converter is available for GSM versions of EasyGate only.
Sending fax message or modem connection to and from GSM
GSM fax and Data connection
EasyGate with fax converter has ability to send and receive GSM fax messages using analogue fax Group 3 connected to telephone line FXS. The fax communication service must be registered with your GSM operator. It is possible to establish data connection using analog modem connected to FXS line. It is useful for devices with build-in modem, without possibility to use serial line. The data communication service must also be registered with your GSM operator.
Sending a fax message to GSM and modem connection through GSM (UMTS)
When connected device is able to send CNG tone (1100Hz for fax 1300Hz for modem), the gateway recognizes whether the call is fax or data, the connection will be established automatically. When the tone is not send or some problems with recognition occurred, is necessary to dial before destination number code *01* for fax call or *02* for data call using CSD technology in GSM network. This code us used to inform the Gateway, that the call is a fax or data call. Prefix *99# is for data connection to internet using technology GPRS or UMTS.
Receiving a fax message from GSM
It is recommended to activate separate fax number on your SIM card – multinumbering scheme. Fax messages must be routed to fax number, data call to data number. Incoming fax, data and voice calls will be than automatically recognized. It is possible to set ring pattern for fax and data call, different from the pattern for voice call.
If the fax or data number is not activated, the call from analogue network routed to your GSM number is not detected as fax or data call and is routed via the analogue channel of GSM network and the connection is not successful. In this case it is possible to set the gateway using DTMF commands using device connected to FXS line. These commands can be used for data and fax routing to FXS line or serial line.
DTMF codes for fax receive:
*9900# Reset of all following settings for fax receive
*9901# The next call is fax, this setting is suspended after
receiving call or by command *9900#
*9902# Fax routed to FXS, inactivate *9900# or device reset +
*9903# Fax routed to COM, inactivate *9900# or device reset +
DTMF codes for data receive:
*9800# Reset of all following settings for data receive
*9801# The next call are data, this setting is suspended after
receiving call or by command *9800#
*9802# Data routed to FXS, inactivate *9800# or device reset +
*9803# Data routed to COM, inactivate *9800# or device reset +
Commands marked + are used to set parameters, which can be set permanently in configuration program (PCManager). Using DTMF commands has higher priority, than setting in configuration program, but is valid only till reset of gateway or inactivating command.
Setting for the next call is only alternative solution, which is not able to substitute using of multinumberig scheme (e.g. when unexpected voice call is incoming before the fax or data call, this solution disables to receive it).
Supported fax and data protocols
Supported fax protocols
The gateway supports connection of analogue Fax Group 3 using protocols V.29, V.27 and V.27ter. Maximal data rate is 9,6kbps. The maximal data rate is strongly dependent on line quality, which is tested on the beginning of connection, to avoid data errors. The fax service is available up to field strength -90dBm.
Supported data protocols
The gateway supports connection of analogue modem using protocols V.90, V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.22, V21, Bell 212A and Bell 103. Maximal data rate is 56kbps. For connection between two modems is the data rate limited by the CSD data rate in GSM network, the maximum is 14,4kbps.
Higher data speed could be useful only for GPRS connection. The maximal data rate is strongly dependent on line quality, which is tested on the beginning of connection, to avoid data errors. The data rate for GPRS connection is limited by actual speed of GPRS transfer in GSM network too. This speed is often affected by network load.
Connection using IP stack
Function IP stack is available on special versions of EasyGate only. It is dedicated for connection of device with embedded analogue modem to defined server on internet public address. The connection must be initialized by connected device with embedded analogue modem by special dialing prefix *02*. EasyGate will establish data channel to preset server by TCP connection.
4.3 SMS Sending Input
This universal input is intended especially for reporting alarm or error statuses of any equipment provided with the appropriate contact (a relay contact, e.g.).
By activating this input (electric input pin interconnection) you send one SMS to one pre-programmed telephone number.
SMS input isn’t available on EasyGate UMTS versions without battery backup. If is this input needed, use the battery version.
4.4 Data connection using USB port
EasyGate device is equipped with virtual serial port that simulates standard COM port in PC according to specification RS-232C. Installation is described in section 3.1 paragraph „Installation and setting of EasyGate PCManager“ points 1 to 3.
The transmission rate ranges from 1200 to 115200 bps (EasyGate supports autobauding, i.e. responds to an AT command at a rate identical with the AT command transmission rate, and retains set on this rate). The transmission setup must be 8 bits, no parity and one STOP bit (8N1).
During the call establishing and terminating the serial interface of GSM module is used by the central processor of EasyGate. During this time periods the communication with module is impossible. The communication is blocked by setting of the signals for flow control on virtual COM port. All PC SW must provide transmission hardware flow control (HW handshaking).
CSD PC-PC Data Transmission
The CSD mode provides data transmission in the GSM network at the maximum transmission rate of 14400 bps. It works like a classic connection of two modems (AT commands ATD, ATH, ATA, etc.). Connection can be made with another GSM modem or a PSTN modem. In UMTS network CSD connection usually is not supported.
Internet Data Connection
GSM version of Easy Gate is equipped by GSM module Cinterion MC55i-w. This module supports data connection GPRS, the maximal speed is 85,6 kbps (download). This connection is suitable for smaller amount of data transmit or the occasional access to internet.
UMTS dual band version of Easy Gate is equipped by UMTS module Simcom SIM5320E (SIM5320A or SIM5320J for non-European versions) or Gemalto PHS8-P. These modules supports data connection GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA and HSPA, the maximal speed is 3,6 Mbps for Simcom or 14,4 Mbps for Gemalto (download). When the HSPA technology is accessible in the place, the gateway can be used for standard connection of PC to internet.
Special versions of EasyGate UMTS doesn’t support high speed data connection, detail information about types are supplied by producer.
USB driver instalation
For communication over USB port of EasyGate is necessary to install USB driver. The installation is usually automatic after connection to USB port by delivered USB cable. The connection is described in detail in part 3.1 - “Installation and setting of EasyGate PCManager”.
Internet connection
You can use the provider’s installation wizard in case it supports the module used in gateway (Cinterion MC55i-w for GSM version, Simcom SIM5320E (A, J) or PHS8-P for UMTS version). When this wizard is not available, you have to use manual setting according following instructions.
Module driver installation
For communication using module is necessary to install modem driver from CD-ROM Easy Gate.
Driver for MC55i-w on CD is named: ‘mdm2n_vx.x.inf,x’ (x – driver version).
Drivers for SIM5320 and PHS8-P are available for 32 and 64 bits Windows systems, they are placed in appropriate directories.
APN setting
For internet connection is necessary to set the APN of your mobile provider. It could be set in gateway using PCManager (GSM&SIM - GPRS APN) or in modem extra settings in PC:
Example: at+cgdcont=1,"IP","internet.t-mobile.cz"
APN name must be received from your mobile provider, in example is the APN of T-Mobile Czech republic used.
Network connection setting
• Ask you mobile provider for Internet connection instructions because they can be different for each provider (especially the telephone number to be dialed, eventually Username, Keyword, DNS, etc.). Set phone connection in your PC using Network connection setting and select appropriate modem. Set the connection parameters (Username, Password, Dial number) according to information from your mobile provider (obviously Username ‘internet’, Keyword is empty an Dial number
*99***1#). Finally use button ‘Dial’ to establish connection to internet.
Data connection - CSD or GPRS and other technologies?
CSD connection is used for data connection of two endpoints, similary as the data connection of two modems in fixed network. The maximum CSD transmission rate is 14400 bps. GSM connection is reserved for the whole time of connection and calls are charged according to the connection time. The CSD mode can provide data connection of two PCs.
GPRS connection (for GSM version) or EDGE, WCDMA and HSDPA connection can’t be used for direct connection of two devices. It is dedicated for connection to APN, usually to internet. Most mobile providers charge the connection according according to the volume of data transmitted or by a lump sum and so the GPRS is suitable for long-time connection.
SMS Sending and Receiving
It is possible to send and receive SMS units using appropriate AT commands. There are a number of PC programs that are based on this principle. For GSM version install SW supporting Cinterion modules (Siemens mobile telephone SW can also be used), for UMTS version install SW supporting modules Simcom or Gemalto. You can send and receive SMS even during EasyGate voice calls.
Combination of serial connction with Voice Calls
As already mentioned, SMS transmission can be made even during telephone calls. The SMS program is only blocked temporarily during outgoing call establishing and incoming call ringing.
The same applies to PCManager monitoring. A message announcing that EasyGate is blocked is displayed during voice call establishing.
No voice call can be made during CSD data connection.
Outgoing and incoming calls can be made during GPRS connection. The GPRS connection remains active during the whole call but no data can be transmitted (EasyGate is a GPRS terminal of class B). Once the call is terminated, data transmission is recovered immediately. Data connections Edge, WCDMA and HSPA on UMTS version of Easy Gate can be active concurrently with the voice call.
List of Supported AT Commands
There are original files related to Cinterion GSM modules and Simcom UMTS modules in the PDF format on the EasyGate CD-ROM.
Do not use particularly:
ATQ1 AT+CMUT= AT^SNFI=
ATS3= AT+CMUX= AT^SNFM=
ATS4= AT+CSCS= AT^SNFO=
ATS5= AT^SAIC= AT^SNFPT=
ATV0 AT^SM20= AT^SNFS=
AT&C0 AT^SMSO= AT^SNFV=
AT+IPR= AT^SNFA= AT^SNFW=
AT+CFUN= AT^SNFD=
4.5 SIM Card PIN protection
If a SIM card is PIN-protected and the PIN is not programmed in EasyGate, LED Mobile network indicates the state and the PIN tone is transmitted on telephone line.
PIN Entering by PCManager
Like other parameters, the PIN code can be entered using a PC programming tool. The PIN will be entered automatically upon next EasyGate power up.
PIN Entering via Telephone Line
To enter the PIN via a telephone line using the DTMF:
1. Hook off the telephone, you can hear the PIN tone.
2. Enter the PIN using the DTMF; to cancel the wrong PIN hang up before sending a .
3. To confirm enter a .
4. If you hear the busy tone in a while (a few seconds), you have entered the PIN correctly. Hook on and wait for registering to the mobile network.
5. If you hear the PIN tone again in a while, you have entered a wrong PIN. Re- enter the PIN.
6. If you hear the PUK tone in a while, you have entered a wrong PIN and the SIM card is blocked. Use the mobile phone to unblock the SIM card.
A correctly entered PIN is stored in EasyGate’s memory as if you had programmed it using the PCManager. The PIN will be entered automatically upon the next EasyGate power up.
Automatic PIN Entering
You need not enter the PIN upon power up if it is stored in EasyGate – it is entered automatically. This function is convenient in case of power failure; EasyGate is operable in a short time after power recovery without any intervention by the operating staff.
4.6 Free minutes option
Basic description
For special versions of EasyGate with Firmware 3.5x only!
Free minutes option allows user to control amount of minutes used for four groups of operators in one month period. The user than knows, if performed calls are included in free minutes bundle, or if he has to pay extra price for it. Calls for extra price can be disabled. All setting done by customer is accessible by DTMF setting.
Setting of prefixes (operators) in four banks can be changed using PCManager. This setting, the amount of free minutes in every bank and rules for time counting are preset from factory.
Programming of parameters is done the same way like programming of all other gateway parameters. To change free minutes option parameters, you can either:
• Use the DTMF programming on a telephone line. There are parameters, which can be programmed using telephone line based programming with password access as described in part 3.1 and commands with direct access, used the same way as command for configuration of network services as described in part 4.1.
• Use a PC with the PCManager installed.
Parameters – password access
The call with empty Bank is either disabled or permitted. When the bank is
empty, you hear after dial refusing tone. With call disabled is followed by Busy tone and the call can’t be established. With call permitted you can hang up the call, otherwise the call is established and charged.
Setting options: 0/1 (disabled / permitted) Default setting: 0
The day in month, when all four banks of free minutes will be refilled with
predefined values. The refilling is done in time 00:00:01 of selected day. When the date for refill doesn't exist (31.2.), the refill is done first day after this date (1.3.).
Setting options: 0-31 (0 – function off) Default setting: 0
Next automatic refill – information field
Minutes available till the end of billing period.
The number of minutes that will be used to refill banks. The selection x is 1
to 4, according to bank number. Setting options: 0-65535
Default setting: 0
Initial time interval in seconds, which is charged for every call, although the
call is shorter. The selection x is 1 to 4, according to bank number. Setting options: 0-255
Default setting: 0
The minimal time interval to be counted (for example 60 seconds means,
that after initial call time every beginning minute will be counted). The selection x is 1 to 4, according to bank number.
Setting options: 0-255
Default setting: 0
Remaining minutes – information field
Minutes available till the end of billing period
Commands – direct access
Setting of the date and time
The time and date is set according to information from GSM (UMTS) network, if this service is in network supported. When the service is not accessible, the user has to set the time when the gateway is first used or switched off for longer time period (there is backup for clock, which supports correct clock for approximately 10 hours without power).
When the time is to be set, the user is informed about this fact by additional short tone before dial tone. The LED network after connecting to network shines discontinuously (short breaks in shining).
Code for setting: *06*YYMMDDhhmm#
Where:
YY: year
MM: month
DD: day in month
hh: hour
mm: minute
When the date is valid, the confirmation - OK is generated otherwise there is there confirmation – bad.
Refill now
The command is intended for refilling of free minutes banks with predefined values (free minutes) manually just now. This command is to be used for initialization or for manual handling of system.
Code for setting: *07#
The confirmation - OK is generated
Setting of free minutes option - PCManager
All parameters, which can be set up by DTMF can be set up by PCManager too. There is page in PCManager – Call table – Free minutes bank for this setting.
Free minutes bank – PCManager only
In Call table – FXS routing table is added column “Free minutes bank”.
Called numbers can be associated to one of four groups (bank). All calls to numbers in the same bank are handled the same way according to free minutes counting rules specific for bank. This table is usually preset by supplier.
Setting options: 0-4 (0 – no bank selected, free minutes inactive) Default setting: 0
Time setting
In Monitor you can check the actual time on PC and on Gateway There are two commands for time setting in Monitor:
Synchronize to PC: The time in gateway is set according to actual time on PC
Manual setting: Setting date and time manually
Using Free minutes option – step by step
1. If your gateway is preset by supplier to be used with some billing scheme, you can continue with step 6
2. Collect all information about billing scheme you use from your operator.
3. You have to set parameters by PCManager. Connect the gateway to your PC by serial cable and to power by adapter. When the gateway is connected to network, you can set it by PCManager.
4. Set the table “FXS routing table”. Prefixes for different operators and Free minutes bank should be used to divide calls to groups. The maximal amount of groups – banks is 4. The maximal number of prefixes is 20 (number of lines in table).
5. Set the table “Free minutes bank”. You have to decide, if call with empty bank will be permitted. Than fill the day, when the billing period starts. Finally fill the table with rules for free minutes bank according to your operator billing.
6. Set local prefix for fixed line, dependent on place where the gateway is used.
7. Set the actual time, either by PCManager – monitor or by DTMF direct access. When the time information is provided by network, this step is not required.
8. If you have actually full amount of free minutes, you can use command
“Refill now”.
9. The gateway is now registering your calls and counting free minutes from operator.
10. When the gateway is switched off for more than 5 hours and the time information is not provided by network, you have to check, if the time is set (see setting of the date and time).
11. Information about state of used free minutes is saved in memory independent on power. This information is actualized after every call.
