1. OVERVIEW
This user’s manual will help you best install your WINNER GSM gateway unit, and provide you with
the basic guidelines for handling any problems that might arise.
In general, the WINNER GSM single/dual gateways provide a flexible and cost efficient connection
between your telephone system and the GSM mobile networks. In essence the device acts as a
router that is programmed to choose the Least Cost Route when you make a call from your PSTN line
to a cellular phone. The GSM gateway connects to a trunk line and bypasses the telephone company
thus significantly reducing overhead costs of telephone calls.
Connect to your PBX or landline phone or even to a specific phone extension (special order), and you
will save money on all calls by bypassing the telephone network and obtaining direct access to the
GSM networks.
The embedded Wavecom Module and SIM cards which act as 'Smart' user ID cards that encrypt voice
and data transmissions and store data concerning the specific user and personal phone settings,
make the GSM gateway a cell phone in itself. The WINNER gateways are therefore an essential tool
for cutting overhead costs of telephone bills as they allow direct access to the GSM networks and cut
costs of airtime and interconnections.
The WINNER GSM gateways are intended for medium to large enterprises but can be installed on
regular phone lines in your home or home office.
There are certain features that may be relevant to the product you have selected and some that are
not. However, all are discussed in the following manual.
The WINNER GSM single/ dual channel units, when used with the appropriate telephone equipment
(antenna, adapter, SIM cards, telephone PSTN line or PBX) will function as an ordinary landline and
support the following features:
Cost-saving routing of incoming calls
GSM and PSTN interconnection via internal LCR
Caller ID, LCD, RTC.
Fax, Data, SMS Transmission – Optional
Internal Battery Backup.
FXS interface
Polarity Reverse
Outstanding voice performance and echo cancellation
The WINNER - GSM Dual Channel Gateway unit: main features and benefits:
Is able to use up to 8 SIMs (up to four SIM cards per GSM channel enabling two outgoing
simultaneous calls to any four operators).

1.2. SAFETY GUIDELINES
For the safe and efficient operation of your WINNER gateway unit, please observe the following
guidelines:
Please read the installation instructions and safety guidelines in this user's manual carefully
before installing the unit.
Do not handle the equipment before disconnecting it from the electrical outlet.
Do not use any cleaning agents or detergents on the exterior or interior surfaces. If you intend to
clean the device, disconnect from electrical outlet and use only a damp cloth.
Do not position device in a damp place; do not expose to water.
Do not expose to extreme temperatures: optimal operating temperatures -5° C to +50°C.
Position equipment in a stable environment; any sudden fall or sharp movement may damage
the device.
Do not cover or stick any foreign objects over device openings or ventilation holes.
Do not operate your WINNER device while any person is within 0.02m of the antenna. A person
or object within 0.02 m of the antenna could impair call quality and may cause the phone to
operate at a higher power level than necessary.
Warning: Potential Explosive Atmospheres:
Do not operate your WINNER near blasting caps, or in a blasting area, to avoid the possibility of
triggering an explosion.
Do not operate a WINNER transmitter in a hazardous atmosphere: an explosion or fire may
result.
The telephone interface is not designed for outdoor application:

2.3. GENERAL USER INFORMATION
Placement of the device: the WINNER GSM gateway unit is designed for installation on a vertical
surface but may also be mounted on a wall.
If you wish to mount the device on a wall follow these steps:
1) Remove the metallic strip used for hanging the unit on the wall by sliding it out from the back of
the WINNER unit and place the metallic strip on the wall to indicate the location of the screws.
2) Hold the strip on the wall and drill holes for the screws to go into the wall through the metallic
strip.
3) Place the unit onto the wall by sliding the metallic strip back into place.
2.4. INTERFERENCE TO MEDICAL AND PERSONAL ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy. Nevertheless, RF energy from the WINNER
transmitter may affect inadequately shielded electronic equipment. We therefore advise to consult
the manufacturer(s) of your medical and personal electronic device(s), (for example a pacemaker or
hearing aid) to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy.
Do not install a WINNER gateway unit in a health care facility, if regulations posted in the area restrict
the use of cellular phones. Hospitals and health care facilities may be using equipment that is
sensitive to external RF energy.
2.5. ANTENNA CONSIDERATIONS
Use only the supplied or approved antenna. An unauthorized antenna, modifications or
attachments could affect call quality.

3. INSTALLATION STAGES AND PROCEDURES
The installation procedure consists of the following steps:
STAGE 1: Identifying potential sources of interference
STAGE 2: Assessing the subscriber site
STAGE 3: Installing the system – please note differences in single/ dual channel units
STAGE 4: PC Programming Management
STAGE 5: Testing
3.1. STAGE 1: IDENTIFYING POTENTIAL SOURCES OF INTERFERENCE
The electronic circuitry of some telephones may be insufficiently shielded to operate properly with
the WINNER gateway units. When making or receiving a phone call, if you hear a “humming” sound
or noise in the earpiece of the telephone connected to the WINNER, or if any other party hears the
hum or noise, move the telephone away from the WINNER. If moving it farther away has no effect,
try using a different telephone.
The WINNER is a two-way radio and as such, some occasional interference is unavoidable. For best
results, choose an electrical outlet away from obstructions. Do not place the WINNER near items,
which may increase, static, such as:
Electrical appliances
