1.4. RF Radiation Safety Precautions
It is prohibited to use any transmitters, including
VoiceBlue Lite, in areas where explosives are used,
such as quarries.
It is forbidden to use mobile phones and thus
VoiceBlue Lite too at refuelling points.
A GSM gateway may affect sensitive life-saving
devices in medical centres. So it is prohibited to use
mobile phones and thus VoiceBlue Lite here.
In general, any restriction regarding mobile phones
ased on RF energy radiation applies to GSM
gateways.
Where necessary, VoiceBlue Lite may be installed
at a safe distance (in the neighbouring building, e.g.)
and an Ethernet cable may be carried from the GSM
gateway to the original building.
Although GSM gateways are not intended for
aircraft or cars, all relevant restrictions and
regulations regarding mobile phones apply to them
here.

Fig. 2 – Top View
•Cable connection – connect the gateway using an Ethernet
cable to your VoIP PBX (or any other VoIP terminals). For
more details on proper wiring refer to Subs. 2.4.
•Antenna connection – connect an external antenna cable into
the SMA antenna connector. Place the antenna on a place with
a good GSM signal (refer to Subs. 2.5).
•Gateway power supply – the delivery includes a mains
adapter. Make sure that an antenna has been attached to the
antenna connector before supplying voltage. Plug in the
adapter connector into the GSM gateway and the power
adapter into a wall socket. The gateway turns on immediately
(see Subs.
2.6).
9
•SIM card insertion – SIM cards are inserted in holders on the
gateway top. The SIM card holder is of the push/pull type,
which means that all you have to do is insert a SIM card and
press the holder gently until it snaps into position (see Subs.
2.7). Secure the SIM card with a latch to avoid incidental
removal. !CAUTION! If you use PIN-asking SIM cards, first
set an identical PIN code for all SIM cards used in the GSM
gateway, save it into the GSM gateway configuration and only
then insert the SIM cards in the GSM gateway.
•PC connection – the gateway parameters are normally set
using the configuration software available on the CD included
in the delivery. To interconnect your PC with 2N - VoiceBlue
Lite use the USB cable
***
or laplink RS 232 cable included in
the delivery.
• Configuration program installations - run the installation
file from the installation CD on a PC connected to the
gateway and install the VoiceBlue Lite configuration software
(refer to Subs. 0).
•Configuration program - run the VoiceBlue Lite program and
set the serial port communication for your PC - gateway
connection. Establish communication between your PC and the
gateway (refer to Subs. ).
•2N - VoiceBlue Liteconfiguration - now use the
configuration software to set all necessary gateway parameters
- VoIP parameters basic GSM parameters and tariff
metering/pricing parameters, routing, restrictions, system
parameters, and input and switch properties. Having set the
required parameters, upload the configuration data to the
gateway via a serial link. For more details on the configuration
software see Section 9.

2.3. Proper Mounting
• The 2N - VoiceBlue Lite gateway is designed for mounting on
a vertical surface. For this purpose a wall- mounting holder is
available. Just fit the holder with dowels and screws (Fig. 3) to
the wall and hang the gateway as shown in (
2N - VoiceBlue Lite
Fig. 4).
Fig. 3 – Gateway Holder Wall-Mounting
Fig. 4 – Gateway Hanging
• It is possible to operate the VoiceBlue Lite gateway in another
working position (e.g. on a desk) for a short time only, for
example in servicing centres for quick testing purposes.
11
• Exceeding the recommended operating temperature values may
not affect the gateway function immediately but may result in
more rapid ageing and lower reliability. The allowed working
temperature and relative humidity ranges are included in
Section 12.
• The gateway is intended for indoor use. It may not be exposed
to rain, flowing water, condensed moisture, fog, or mist.
• The gateway may not be exposed to aggressive gas, acid
vapours, solvents, etc. or aggressive liquids, during cover
cleaning, for example.
• The VoiceBlue Lite gateway is not designed for high-vibration
environments e.g. means of transport, machine rooms, etc.
• Free space has to be left under and over the gateway for cables
and agitated air to remove operational heat.
• Install the gateway on a place with a good GSM signal.
• A misplacement of the GSM gateway or its antenna near
television, broadcasting or similar RF-sensitive devices may
evoke an adverse effect upon their function.
• Being a source of RF energy emission, the VoiceBlue Lite
gateway antenna should not be located close to human bodies.
The hazard is higher than with mobile telephones because the
gateway is usually used by many people and thus employed
more often.
2.4. PC or LAN Connection
The 2N - VoiceBlue Lite gateway can be connected to a PC using
a USB cable terminated with a USB B connector or a laplink serial
cable with RS 232 connectors. A direct connection of
2N - VoiceBlue Lite and a PC is necessary for the initial gateway
configuration when the gateway IP address is unknown and the
gateway cannot be configured using the LAN.
VoiceBlue Lite supports connection via the Universal Serial Bus
(USB) of version 1.1. In this type of connection, however, it is
necessary to install VoiceBlue Lite drivers into your operating
system (OS). At present, the drivers support the Microsoft
12
2N - VoiceBlue Lite
Windows 98SE/ME/2000/XP OS. While installing the drivers
please following the instructions below:
• Insert the included CD into your PC CD-ROM drive.
• Connect the USB cable to the PC and then to VoiceBlue Lite.
• The Windows OS recognises the connected device
automatically and asks for suitable drivers.
• Find the VoiceBlue Lite drivers on the CD included in the
delivery in the following directory: CDROM:\VoiceBlue\USB
drivers.
• The OS recognizes the right drivers automatically and starts
installing them.
The OS may also require the USB COM port drivers. They are
available in the same CD directory as mentioned above.
The VoiceBlue Lite gateway operates as a modem in the data
mode, communicating through a virtual COM port. The gateway
USB port default parameters are 921,600 bps, 8 data bits, no
parity, 1 stop bit, and no flow control. If you intend to use the USB
cable for distances longer than 5 meters, you are recommended to
use the USB hubs.
.

Tighten the antenna connector gently with your hand, never use a
wrench!
2.6. Gateway Power Supply
• Be sure to use only the mains supply adapter that is included in
the gateway delivery.
• Before plugging in the gateway, make sure that the mains
voltage value meets the data given on the mains adapter label.
•Make sure that the antenna has been connected. If you connect
the gateway to the power supply without an antenna, the
GSM module transmitter might get damaged.
• Now plug the supply adapter into a wall socket and after it
connect the adapter connector to the gateway, see Fig. 10. The
status indicators indicate the proper operation. For their
meanings refer to Subs. 2.9.

Fig. 10 – Supply Adapter Connection
2.7. SIM Card Installation/Removal
Insert the SIM card into the SIM card slots with your hand as
shown in Fig. 11. Please make sure that the slashed SIM card side
is on a side opposite to the latch. Having inserted the SIM card,
push the card gently until you hear a click signalling that the
push/pull holders have snapped the card. Secure the SIM card by
shifting the latch to the right in order to avoid incidental removal
of the SIM card.
To remove the SIM card take the opposite steps. You can replace a
SIM card even with the gateway on.
16
2N - VoiceBlue Lite
Fig. 11 – SIM Card Inserting Procedure
Each SIM card inserted in the gateway has a unique set of
parameters. Their values are bound to the card IMSI, remain stored
in the gateway even if the SIM card has been removed and thus
need not be reset upon SIM card re-insertion.
2.8. PIN Entering Disable (Optional)
2N - VoiceBlue Lite is set at automatic PIN entering by default
(1234). To disable the PIN use any mobile telephone in which you
insert the given SIM card. By disabling the PIN entering you
invalidate any other VoiceBlue Lite parameters or PIN stored in
the gateway memory. If you do not disable this function,
VoiceBlue Lite will always ask for a PIN by LED signalling,
which must be identical for all SIM cards inserted.
2.9. Status Indicators
There is a panel with five LEDs on the gateway upper cover for a
quick GSM gateway status detection (see Fig. 12). The Power
LED signals that the gateway as a whole is in operation. The
GSM 1 to GSM 4 LEDs indicate the status of the respective GSM
modules.
17
Fig. 12 – Signalling LEDs
Basic diagnostic tests and gateway initialisation are performed
automatically whenever the gateway is connected to supply
voltage. Each test step is signalled by a specific colour
combination of the LEDs. If a test step fails, the indicator
combination related to the failed test remains lighted.
Power Indicator
The Power LED signals whether the VoiceBlue Lite gateway is
supplied or not.
No light The system is not working. /
Continuous light The system is working.
GSM Indicators
The GSM 1 to GSM 4 LEDs signal statuses of the respective GSM
modules. Whenever the 2N - VoiceBlue Lite is started, detection
of the GSM modules is carried out. This process is signalled by a
green LED. If all GSM modules are present and ok, the LED goes
out. After that the firmware and configuration uploading process is
initiated, which is signalled by various LED colour combinations.
The initialisation process is followed by a check of presence of
SIM cards in slots. Quick blinking of the green LED of the
respective GSM module indicates this procedure. If a GSM

module or a SIM card is absent, the red LED remains lighted. If a
GSM module is not supplied, the respective GSM LED is blinking
red. Upon a correct GSM module initialisation, the SIM card is
logged in, which is signalled by a quickly blinking green LED. If
the log-in has been successful, the LED goes out. If not, it shines
red continuously.
In normal operation, a continuous green LED indicates an
incoming or outgoing call within the particular GSM module.
