1. EasyGate purpose 1.1. Basic Functions · · · · The primary purpose of EasyGate is to transmit voice between a GSM network and an attached FXO-interface terminal (PBX, telephone, answering machine, etc.). You can establish data connections (GPRS, CSD), fax connections (PC-FAX) and send/receive SMS using EasyGate in combination with a PC and appropriate software. You can send an SMS to a pre-programmed number using the SMS sending input. Analogue fax transmition on some models. 1.2.
2. Installation 2.1. Proper Location · · · · · · · · EasyGate is designed for vertical mounting on suspension holes (use the mounting pattern). This position is the best for signal reception because a vertical antenna is used. EasyGate can be operated in the horizontal position too where the GSM signal is good. Install EasyGate with respect to the GSM signal strength – check the signal strength using the PCManager.
2.2. External Antenna Connection Screw the antenna enclosed into the SMA antenna connector. Tighten the antenna connector gently with your hand - never use wrenches! The antenna enclosed has a sufficient gain for trouble-free operation in normal conditions. If the GSM signal is poor or you want to place your antenna separately from EasyGate, you can use an antenna with an SMA-connector terminated cable. The antenna should be mounted vertically.
2.4. Connector description 1 2 3 4 1 SMS sending input 2 Telephone line RJ 12, 6/2 3 Power supply connector DC Jack 2,1mm 4 RS232C serial line D-Sub 9 pins 2.5. Telephone Line Connection 2.5.1. PBX Connection Connect EasyGate to a free CO line of your PBX. Configure your PBX in such a manner that GSM outgoing calls are routed to EasyGate. EasyGate is equipped with the FSK-based CLIP function. If your PBX is able to process the caller’s ID, you are advised to enable this function. 2.5.2.
A transistor switch or logic signal can be used too. The pin near the telephone line connector is connected to GND of the device the second one is active. Please, respect the loop current polarity. The input is over-voltage protected (up to +12V DC). 2.8. PC Connection You have got a serial cable for PC connection. It is a modem cable where all of the 9 pins are 1:1 interconnected – in case you wanted to use another, longer cable.
3. EasyGate Status Indication 3.1. Indication LEDs Name Meaning Power supply · Light = EasyGate is powered. · Flashes once in 2s = HW error, contact the manufacturer. · · · GSM network · · Light = logged-in to GSM Flashes once in 1s = logged-out, SIM card inserted Flashes once in 3s = logged-out, SIM card not inserted Flashes 4 times quickly = enter your PIN Flashes 8 times quickly = enter your PUK · Flashes quickly continuously = all functions are blocked.
§ § § § The called number has too many digits (more than 30). The called number is barred. The called subscriber line is busy. The called subscriber has hung up (disconnection). Dialing end signaling: · Dialing reception has been terminated. Connection is being established. PIN tone: · Enter the PIN code. · This tone is transmitted upon power up if the PIN has to be entered manually. PUK tone: · Enter the PUK code. · This tone is transmitted upon repeated wrong PIN entering attempts. SIM card is blocked.
4. SIM Card PIN protection If a SIM card is PIN-protected and the PIN is not programmed in EasyGate, GSM LED indicates the state and the PIN tone is transmitted on telephone line. 4.1. 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. 4.2. 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. 2.
5. 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 EasyGate properly. Check EasyGate’s function by connecting a telephone before.
5.3. FAX call (only on models with fax converter) EasyGate with fax converter has ability to send and receive fax messages using analog fax Group 3 connected to telephone line. The fax communication service must be registered with your network operator. Sending a fax message Prior to destination number must be dialed code *01*, to inform the Gateway, that the following call is a fax call. Receiving a fax message It is recommended to activate separate fax number on your SIM card – multinumbering scheme.
6. 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! Do not use in life-supporting or property-protection applications because of the character of SMS service and EasyGate.
7. COM – Serial Interface The complete serial interface RS-232C on a 9-pin connector is identical with any external modem. 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).
7.3. FAX Transmission - PC-FAX EasyGate allows fax transmissions from your PC. However, do not confuse the PCFax service with a standard fax service – no fax machine can be connected to the telephone line! But the PC-Fax can establish connection with a standard fax machine and transmit documents. To enable the PC-Fax service, install the faxmodem driver from the EasyGate CDROM first. Further you need the PC-Fax software, which is not included.
7.6. Combination of COM Traffic 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. 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 transmission and PC-FAX connection. Outgoing and incoming calls can be made during GPRS connection.
8. EasyGate Parameter Programming All EasyGate parameters have such default values that meet most users’ demands and need not be changed. To change EasyGate parameters in spite of that, you can either: · Use a PC with the PCManager installed. All functions supported by EasyGate can be set using the PC. · Or use the DTMF programming on a telephone line. Not all functions can be set in this way. 8.1. Telephone Line based Programming 1.
