CGW-I Cellular Gateway BRI-GSM : Installation and Operation Manual
Parameter
Choose one of the following when a SIM card exceeds the
maximum number of minutes allowed (i.e., free + minutes +
grace/part of grace):
No Blocking: Unit will never block outgoing calls
Precise Blocking: Unit will disable outgoing calls exactly
when the Prepaid Time is finished, even while a
conversation is in progress.
Gentle Blocking: Once Prepaid Time is finished, unit will
allow the call to continue for allowed Grace Time period, but
will disable further outgoing calls.
This function works independently for each channel, so if 1
SIM card has reached its limit, you can still make calls using
the SIM.
Note: Once a radio channel is disabled, the LCD will display
the message "Blocked Outgoing".
If a channel is blocked because Prepaid Time is finished,
you can do one of the following:
• Increase Prepaid Time for the SIM, then perform "Send
Parameters" action. This will release blocking of outgoing
calls.
• Change the Reset Day and Time to the current day and
time.
When Gentle Blocking is selected in Disable Channel
Method, the number of minutes that a call which has
exceeded the SIM's Prepaid Time credit (and is now using
more expensive calling credit) may continue without being
disconnected.
Range: 0-99
If 0 is entered, a call that exceeds the Prepaid Time value
will be disconnected immediately.
Amount of real connection time in seconds that equals what
the network operator defines as one unit of Charge
Connection Time.
For example, a 12 second Time Unit may equal 1 unit of
Charge Time. If a call is 15 seconds long, the network
operator will charge for 2 units of connection time (i.e., 24
seconds of Accumulated Time), regardless of the true length
of the call.
Note: Before you can change the Time Unit, you must reset
the Accumulated Time counter to 0. For more details, see
the Resetting Checked Counters section below.
The day in the month that your SIM time counters (i.e.,
Prepaid, Free, and Remaining Prepaid) are reset.
Range: 1-28
The time that your SIM time counters (i.e., Prepaid, Free,
and Remaining Prepaid) are reset on the day you have set
for the associated SIM card.
