Intended Use
The GSM-Route BRI is intended to be
connected to the customer’s ETSI standard basic
rate ISDN terminal equipment (PBX) and
optionally to an ETSI standard basic rate ISDN
network (NTU).
The GSM-Route BRI will auto detect if an ISDN
circuit is present. If GSM-Route BRI detects that
an ISDN circuit is not available, the unit will be
configured for this setting.
The GSM-Route BRI will Auto detect Point to
Point or Point to Multi-Point on connection of an
ISDN circuit.
The GSM-Route BRI will direct outgoing calls
either over the Mobile Network or the ISDN
network according to its configuration. The
configuration it is shipped with is to direct all
mobile prefixes to the GSM network. In order to
change this, refer to the programming section.
Incoming calls from the GSM network will be
directed to the customer’s terminal equipment.
Power Failure
In the event of loss of power to the unit, the
ISDN lines connected through the GSM-Route
BRI, will connect the customer’s terminal
equipment by means of a “Metallic” by-pass
mechanism.
Mobile Signal Failure
In the event of the loss of the GSM network the
unit may be configured to reroute the calls over
ISDN.
ISDN Signal Failure
In the event of disconnection from the ISDN
network, calls which were routed across the
mobile network will continue to do so.
Power Supply
The GSM-Route BRI operates from a nominal
100-240v. AC supply, 47-63 Hz.. The Power
Supply Unit (PSU) supplied with the GSMRoute BRI is fully compliant with: UL1950,
TUV EN60950, BS7002, CSA22.2. Ensure that

• When the GSM Module(s) are connecting
to a network its status LEDs 24 & 25 will
produce long flashes (600ms/600 ms
On/Off).
• If the GSM module has no SIM card
inserted its status LEDs 24 or 25 will flash
‘SOS’ on its associated LED.
• When a GSM module has logged onto a
network its status LEDs 24 & 25 will
produce short flashes (75ms/3s On/Off).
(refer to figure 3)
• The signal strength on Module 1 is
displayed as LED 18 and Module 2 is LED
19. (refer to figure 3)
• If the Basic Rate ISDN interface is
activated the status LEDs 20 & 21 will
produce short flashes (75ms/3s On/Off).
• When the Terminal Equipment Interface is
activated the status LEDs 22 & 23 will
produce short flashes (75ms/3s On/Off).
Testing the GSM-Route BRI
Go off hook and access one of the trunks
connected to the BRI Route GSM and:
1. Make an outgoing test call over module 1.
Once Connected the Red Status LED
corresponding to the channel being used will
come on. The Green Status LED for module 1
will come on showing that the call has been
routed correctly. A confidence tone will be
heard at this stage.
2. Make an outgoing test call over module 2,
once connected the Red Status LED
corresponding to the channel being used will
come on. The Green Status LED for module 2
will come on showing that the call has been
routed correctly. A confidence tone will be
heard at this stage.
3. Make an incoming call to each GSM module.
Installation Scenarios
There are four scenarios for installing the BRI
Route GSM depending on your specific scenario
A.
Installed from the TE port to the PBX. The
PBX handles the least cost routing of calls.
(refer figure A.). LEDs 22 & 23 should
blink red (refer figure 2.)
B.
Installed as scenario A, but only the ISDN
clock/sync is received from the ISDN
network to the NT port. In this setup voice
calls are NOT carried from the ISDN
network to the unit and usually the NTU on
the wall has two mirrored TE ports, one
going to the PBX and one going (Providing
clock) to the NT port on the BRI Route
GSM. (refer figure B.) Note: requires
setting to Track Mode, refer to setting
ISDN Synchronisation. LEDs 22, 23
should blink red (refer figure 2.)
Note: When the GSM Route BRI is
functioning normally, and it detects that
there is no ISDN connection on the NT
port, it then uses an accurate internally
generated clock. This accurate clock
cannot be synchronised with any ISDN
connections if it is not connected to them.
When the GSM Route BRI is forced into
Track mode, you can plug an ISDN “NT”
or S0 trunk connection into the NT port of
the GSM Route BRI. This will then use the
clock synchronisation from the ISDN NT
Network connection (ignoring the B and D
channel information).

Route BRI
Installation and User Guide
C.
Installed in series between the ISDN
networks (NTU) and the PBX. The BRI
Route GSM handles the routing of calls.
(refer figure C.) LEDs 20,21 and 22,23
should blink red (refer figure 2.)
Using a straight through RJ45 cable connect as
per scenario A,B or C depending on your
situation. The unit will self reset after 15
seconds then automatically configure itself to the
ISDN circuit. Scenario B requires setting it into
Track. (refer to Setting ISDN Synchronisation)
D.
Ticking Sound is heard and there is no ISDN
BRI network to receive Sync/Clock from. This
setup requires a separate Sync/Clock BRI cable
from the PBX. The first port should be setup as
a SO bus (no voice calls will be handled on
this port) and the second port setup as a normal
P2P or P2MP. First take a cable from the SO
bus port and connect into the NT port of the
BRI Route GSM. Once you see LEDs 20&21
flash then change the unit to Track mode, refer
to setting ISDN Synchronisation and LEDs
20&21 will go out. Next take a cable from the
second port on the PBX (to carry voice) and
connect to either one of the TE ports on the
BRI Route GSM. LEDs 22&23 should now be
flashing and there should be no ticking sound!
If connecting more than one BRI Route GSM,
you can pass the clock on the spare TE port to
the next BRI Route GSM NT port and the
second unit must also be in track mode.
Configuring the unit via the
PBX handset
The unit has been pre-programmed so no
configuration (via the supplied serial cable) is
necessary in most instances.
Digit Stripping:
This is used in some cases when the PBX has
inserted routing information before the number
dialled. The GSM-Route BRI can be configured
to recognise this prefix and strip it.
To turn this off:
Setting the MSN (incoming GSM)
For incoming mobile calls you can direct them
to a destination in the PBX. You can set both
SIMs to go to the same destination in the PBX or
separate. Replace nnnn with the MSN
number(s).
To turn this off:
Setting Point to Point or Multi Point
The GSM BRI Route automatically detects it’s
environment for self setup. However you can
manually override this.
Auto:
P2P:
P2MP:
Setting Volume and Microphone Levels
The GSM BRI Route is automatically set at the
optimum levels; however you can manually
override this. Enter the value 1 to 5 (1 is lowest
and 5 being highest)
Outbound:
Inbound:
Setting ISDN Synchronisation
The GSM BRI Route automatically detects its
environment but in some situations requires to
be manually set. Scenario B & D requires Track
Mode to be set.
Tip to remember: The ISDN Network always
provides Clock/Sync, a PBX set with a “SO
Bus” always provides Clock/Sync, TE ports on
the BRI Route GSM always provide Clock/Sync.
Having more than one clock source will
produce a ticking sound!
