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:
n Bar the number to be dialed - the calling subscriber hears the busy tone;
n Accelerate connection establishing by knowing the number length for the
given prefix;
n Accelerate connection establishing by allowing to terminate dialing with a #;
n Modify the number to be dialed by removing and/or adding digits.
n Set tariff metering for the given prefix.
n 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.
34
Figure 3.2
Routing table
Table of Parameters
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.

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.
Voice function
4.1
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.
48
Voice function
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.
4.1
3. Wait for information tone. You may wait about 3 seconds.
4. Hook on.
Information tones:
Confirmation - OK:
n Confirms that the service was configured correctly.

FAX and Data function
4.2 FAX and Data function
Only EasyGate GSM with fax converter supports fax and data functions.
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.
4.2
Sending a fax message to GSM and modem connection
through GSM
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. This code us used to inform the Gateway, that the call is a
fax or data call.
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:
n *9900# Reset of all following settings for fax receive
n *9901# The next call is fax, this setting is suspended after
receiving call or by command *9900#
n *9902# Fax routed to FXS, inactivate *9900# or device reset +
53
FAX and Data function
n*9903# Fax routed to COM, inactivate *9900# or device reset +
DTMF codes for data receive:
n *9800# Reset of all following settings for data receive
n *9801# The next call are data, this setting is suspended after
receiving call or by command *9800#
n *9802# Data routed to FXS, inactivate *9800# or device reset +
n *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).
4.2
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.
54
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.
Caution
nDo not use in life-supporting or property-protection applications because
of the character of SMS service and EasyGate. The manufacturer shall not
be liable for health and property damage incurred as a result of SMS
sending failure.

Data connection using USB port
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).
4.4
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.
Caution
nData calls and fax calls from the PSTN come as voice calls (the telephone
line on EasyGate rings) because an analog network is unable to distinguish
a modem/fax call. Therefore, it is necessary to have a special telephone
number for incoming data and fax calls on the SIM card different from
voice call numbers (Multi-numbering scheme). The GSM network identifies
a call incoming to this number as a data/fax call and lets the COM serial
interface ring.
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 version of Easy Gate is equipped by UMTS module Simcom SIM5320E
(SIM5320A or SIM5320J for non-European versions). This module supports data
connection GPRS, EDGE, WCDMA and HSDPA, the maximal speed is 3,6 Mbps
(download). When the HSPA technology is accessible in the place, the gateway can be
used for standard connection of PC to internet.
56
Data connection using USB port
4.4
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) 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 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.
Caution
nMobile providers mostly specify the *99# number to be dialed for GPRS
connection in their instructions. Cinterion GSM modules require the
*99***1# format.
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.
57
Data connection using USB port
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. 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.
4.4
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.
58
Data connection using USB port
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.
Caution
nSince the GSM (UMTS) module is primarily used by the EasyGate central
processor for voice calls, use AT commands carefully. You might establish
wrong configuration of the module thus making EasyGate inoperative. To
solve most of these problems, switch EasyGate off and on again to make
the central processor execute full initialization of the module.

SIM Card PIN protection
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.
4.5
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. Reenter 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.
Warning
nOne PIN entering option is exhausted by the attempt to enter the PN
automatically upon SIM card or PIN change. If wrong, the automatically
entered PIN is cleared from the internal memory to avoid another false
attempt upon next power on. There are still two manual PIN-entering
attempts after such unsuccessful automatic entering. To prevent the
unsuccessful automatic PIN entering, delete or program properly the
EasyGate PIN using the PCManager in the case of SIM card change.

Free minutes option
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.
4.6
Warning
n The free minutes counting is intended to give information to user about
the state of his free minutes account. For billing is the registration done by
operator valid. When the difference between operator evidence and free
minutes counting occur, the billing is done according operator accounting.
