2N StarGate / BlueStar / BlueTower
PRIGW is a compact yet highly sophisticated system. It supports full remote supervision
and configuration via an IP network, or using an external modem over a BRI-ISDN and analog
line, or over a B channel in a PRI-ISDN trunk. The system has been designed and works with a
lot of highly sophisticated functions, which make it fully client-oriented and highly reliable in
cooperation with both GSM networks and ISDN. In addition, it provides full monitoring and
comfortable configuration without functional limitations. Configuration alterations can be made
without resetting, i.e. under full operation. Hot-swappable plug-in GSM boards, which can be
swapped under full operation including SIM cards, are a matter of course. The use of up to four
SIM cards per GSM module in combination with an intelligent SIM card switching tool and
detailed statistics upgrade this system into a powerful LCR tool. High product stability is
achieved by the fact that the gateway is programmed in the ASM, i.e. OS-FREE system. Two
independent 30MHz Philips microprocessors provide an error-free operation, high speed,
automatic fault detection, and easy upgrade. The system also features easy installation, simple
operation and easy replacement of defective parts - it is composed of plug-in boards that
communicate along system buses independently. As already mentioned, the system allows for
an easy detection of defective parts, automatic locking against use and easy replacement (hotswap). Thanks to the above mentioned properties, the system can be installed and configured
successfully within one hour!

2. Description – Main Features
Quick unit start – being free of an operating system (programmed in the processor code),
the system is completely ready to work within 30 seconds following its power on/restarting. Of
course, the full function time of all GSM modules depends on the actual load and capacity of
GSM networks to which the PRIGW is connected.
Intelligent call processing – the PRIGW is fully prepared to route PRI-ISDN outgoing
calls into GSM networks or back to second PRI ISDN interface and vice versa. A fully intelligent
LCR (Least Cost Routing) function is the basic tool, allowing to route outgoing ISDN calls to
GSM networks (or ISDN network) both by the called number prefix, and current date and time
and GSM module load in the particular group (LCR function is only on PRI 1 port, all calls to PRI
2 port will be directly rerouted to PRI 1 interface). Functions taken over from dialers, which
enable to replace a part or whole of the dialed number with another number, are a matter of
course. Calls incoming from GSM networks can be ignored (the calling party hears the ringing
tone), fully rejected (the calling party gets the busy tone/voice message), or received. In the
last-named case, the DTMF dialing in combination with voice messages, or direct connection to
the operator(s) can be selected (calls can be routed only to PRI 1 port). Using the 2N RCU (see
later), or XAPI with NQuire support, you can get a highly powerful routing tool, which contains
so-called blacklist charts – barred numbers - and practically unlimited routing charts. This
combination is extremely useful for installation sites with the so-called full telephone number
carryover where a plenty of numbers come into being whose prefixes do not match the official
prefixes of providers.

- BlueTower with Thin VoIP card you handle with 2xPRI ISDN interfaces, 4xVoIP-SIP
interface and up to 4xGSM interface.
Selection of GSM module use – the PRIGW allows you to select one of three available
ways of GSM module occupation: 1. Any outgoing call is set up via a GSM module according to
the B channel used. This option helps transfer routing functions to a connected PBX router. 2.
This mode allows to occupy GSM modules in groups cyclically, and 3. the last option helps
select GSM modules in a group according to the number of minutes called (the counting mode
can be predefined of course).
GSM network friendly – the PRIGW allows activating the automatic GSM module log-out
in certain time intervals. Using this function you can log out and disable automatically unused
GSM modules at defined time intervals. Since the time between the GSM module activation and
readiness for work is roughly 10-25 seconds, a user-defined hot reserve is maintained, i.e.
some GSM modules keep logged in. This means that any increase in the 2N PRIGW load result
in an automatic activation of other GSM modules so that the hot reserve be maintained. This
feature also reduces the capacity of the GSM network to detect a unit and disconnect it from the
mains.
High connection rate – since GSM networks are not quite reliable and show lack of
capacity occasionally, the PRIGW is equipped with the automatic call forwarding to other GSM
networks or call rejection (without call loss). This function uses the ISDN signaling protocol
where a call SETUP message is sent to the PRIGW first. This message contains the called
number and CLIP if necessary. Having received this message, the 2N PRIGW can either: reject
the call (the other party will route it to another device), REJECT message including reasoning
(CAUSE), or receive and connect the call – SETUP.ACK message.
The device on the other side awaits one of the above mentioned responses for 2 seconds.
During this time, PRIGW has to decide whether it is able to set up the call, tries to find a free
GSM module and establish connection. If the selected GSM module is busy, it must find other
free GSM modules. If it fails to find a free route, it rejects the call request. The CAUSE number
is user-defined. If it succeeds, it receives and sets up the call.
8
!! Preliminary version of user guide v1.8 !!
Detailed statistics – provides a detailed overview of the count of incoming and outgoing
calls and their successful connections. The statistic data can be displayed either globally for the
whole PRIGW, or for the selected GSM provider, or the selected GSM module (SIM card).
These data are generated automatically.
Detailed call information – the PRIGW can save information on completed calls
automatically (CDR). Call information includes:
call beginning date and time
call type
I-FD : Not connected incoming call
I-OK : Successfully connected incoming call
O-FD : Unsuccessful outgoing call
O-OK : Successfully connected outgoing call
Relation end reasoning (CAUSE) sent to ISDN interface
Number of B channel used
Number of GSM module used
Number of GSM group used
Connection setup time
Call duration mmm:ss (max. 255:59)
Call cost (if pseudo tariff metering is enabled)
ID of the gateway
Called number
CLIP
SIM card position number
SIM card IMSI or SCID
High number of connected calls – owing to a very short GSM call connecting (routing)
time and intelligent call rerouting in the event of failure, PRIGW features high call time per
month (traffic volume of over 500,000 minutes/month). The connectivity depends on PRIGW
configuration and GSM network capacity of course.
Gateway Traffic volume (minutes/month)
StarGate Over 500.000
BlueStar Over 250.000
BlueTower Over 125.000
SMS receive/send support – PRIGW helps send and receive SMS in the PDU format. An
intelligent SMS sending over a selected GSM network or module and automatic announcement
of incoming SMS are a matter of course.
Up to 8 GSM groups – you can define up to 8 independent SIM card groups in the
system. For example, one GSM group can contain one provider‘s SIM cards.
Up to 16 GSM modules – the PRIGW is a modular system where 1 to 16 GSM boards
with two GSM modules each can be installed. The GSM boards are hot-swappable, i.e. can be
replaced easily during operation.
Gateway Maximum number of GSM modules
StarGate 32
BlueStar 16
BlueTower 8
9
!! Preliminary version of user guide v1.8 !!
Up to 64 SIM cards – each GSM board contains 16 SIM card holders. However, two SIM
cards are only connected to the GSM modules at one moment. An intelligent SIM card switching
according to time, at random intervals, according to completed minutes or sent SMS enables a
client-oriented approach. A defective SIM card blocking is a matter of course.
World wide use– GSM/3G boards are currently available with GSM modules from
Siemens TC35i (900/1800MHz), MC55i (850/900/1800/1900MHz) and Wavecom
(850/1900MHz or 900/1800MHz). 3G modules SierraWireless (All UMTS and GSM bands).
Virtual SIM card support – PRIGW supports 2N SIM Star system.
One antenna per system only – One receive/transmission antennas can be used in
combination with an antenna splitter (see below) for all of up to 16 GSM modules.
Gateway Number of antennas with using antenna splitter
StarGate 2
BlueStar 1
BlueTower 1
Hot-swappable boards – as mentioned above, all GSM boards are hot-swappable. As a
matter of course, the access to the GSM board can be restricted upon the user‘s request. This
solution provides an easy SIM card replacement during operation.
Support Callback – PRIGW supports to make call to GSM and after connection make call to
PRI interface and connect both calls. This feature can be controlled by AT command or XAPI server
SW (easy to implement it to some additional callback SW, or you can use 2N callback software)
CLIP routing – according incoming CLIP from GSM network the gateway can route the
call to defined number in PRI ISDN
AutoCLIP routing – PRI GW can store Calling and called numbers in case of outgoing call
to GSM network. In case that somebody calls from GSM network and have CLIP same as stored
Called number, the gateway will automatically reroute the call to defined PRI ISDN number.
2x PRI ISDN interface – is configurable in all available modes, i.e. as Network
Termination (NT), or Terminal Equipment (TE). It can also be set as a Master (synchronization
clock) or a Slave. Using PRI board switches you can easily select RX and TX directions –
hence, you can use a cross-over or not-cross-over cable for the PRIGW <> PBX (Switch)
connection.
VoIP interface – supporting SIP signaling and following codec: G.711, G.723, G.729. With
using VoIP interface you can use only one PRI ISDN interface***.
Easy control and configuration – The PRIGW can be configured locally or remotely. To
do this, you can employ the following types of connection:
• 2 local RS232 interfaces;
• remote control by an external analog, ISDN, or GSM modem connected to
a defined RS232 interface. Automatic detection and configuration capacities make
the modem perfectly available.
• remotely via a 10baseT IP interface, using a simple Telnet protocol;
• remotely by the in-band B channel in the PRI-ISDN interface**.
10
!! Preliminary version of user guide v1.8 !!
No SW is necessary for configuration – system communicates through an RS232 interface
and Telnet protocol using standard extended AT commands. However, high-quality software
running under the Windows OS has been designed for user-friendly control and configuration.
Fault diagnostics is very simple too – system informs of a fault both visually (by LED
diodes) and via any interface. A direct display of all processes on ISDN or IP layers is a matter
of course too.
Quality control – you can check the quality of system calls any time by test calls (an
analog headset connector is available for test calling into GSM networks or ISDN interface) or
by-hearing of one of the two current call directions.
Quick and easy update – since PRIGW is not bound to any operating system, any
firmware updating is quick and comfortable and is made by the available software. Updating can
be performed locally or remotely and the process is protected against unintentional
disconnection. The updating process takes a few minutes and the existing configuration is
retained.
** optional part
*** actually not possible, but it will be possible to replace 1. GSM card by 1x PRI card.

WARNING! Incorrect battery replacement may cause explosion. The
battery can be replaced with a battery of the same or equivalent type
only as recommended by the manufacturer. Handle used batteries as
instructed by the manufacturer.
The lithium battery on the CPU board backs up the internal real time clock in case of
supply power outage. Its average life is about three years, then it is advisable to replace it
preventively. Replacing the lithium battery, be sure to turn the subrack power supply off using
the mains switch and, having loosened two fitting screws, push the CPU board out. Remove the
old battery from the holder using a suitable tool and insert a new one. Restore the original
status taking the said steps in the opposite order. Battery type: CR2430.
WARNING! Never use metal tools for battery replacement; neither the
new nor the old battery may be short-circuited! A short-circuit may
result in battery damage or explosion!!!
Dispose of used batteries in accordance with applicable regulations, put them in a recycling
yard, for example.

3.3. PRI Board
3.3.1. Board Description
The PRI board contains an one or two ISDN interfaces and PCM bus timing circuits. PRI 1
interface is designed as internal (on this port is activated LCR function), PRI 2 port is designed
as external (all calls from the port will be routed to PRI 1 port). The interface can work in the
MASTER or SLAVE mod (via PRIGW program you can set mode of PRI 1 port, PRI 2 port has
always opposite mode!). The output can be configured as TERMINAL or NETWORK by jumpers
(switching of wires – for software switch you have to use PRIGW program!). These jumpers
HAVE TO be set same as PRI configuration – two NT and TE modes will cause malfunction of
PRI board or backup connection* ! The board is designed on a 4-layer PCB of the size of
160x100mm. A PRIMARY ISDN interface and 5 board status indicators are located on the front
panel.
* the PRI board contains four switches (can be deactivated by jumpers) which makes
hardware connection between PRI 1 and PRI 2 in case that system is switched off or has some
software problem.

There are four configuration jumpers on the PRI board. Jumper JP1 is intended for a
change of the board addressing and is not used at present. Jumpers JP2, JP3 is used for
hardware switching of the PRI ISDN connector into the TE or NT configuration. This operation
means only swapping of the transmitting and receiving connector pairs, the interface
configuration must be made by software. With jumper JP4 you can activate/deactivate back-up
connection between PRI1 and PRI2 in case that system is switched off or PRI board isn’t
handled by system . By default, jumpers JP1 is disconnected, jumper JP2 is connected as TE,
jumper JP3 is connected as NT and JP4 is connected.

4. Antenna Splitter
4.1. Splitter description
Internal Antenna Splitter for BlueStar
Internal Antenna Splitter for BlueTower
Antenna splitter is the passive unit suitable for GSM gateways. It can combine maximum 16
antenna inputs to one 1 antenna output. Antenna splitter saves antenna cable, number of
outdoor antennas and mounting space on the roof.
As a passive unit it inserts the loss between antenna and the equipment. Splitter configuration
depends on signal level at concrete placing and number of using directions or GSM providers.
Splitter can be external (StarGate) or internal (BlueStar, BlueTower)
four inputs and one output splitter block
two inputs and one output splitter block
