Inserting the SIM card Before inserting or replacing the SIM card, always make sure that the gateway has been disconnected from the mains and that no electrostatic discharge is present in order to avoid damaging it. Take all necessary measures to avoid electrostatic discharge. Shift the SIM card housing cover downward until it unblocks and ...
Connection to the telephone line Connect the gateway to a standard telephone or to the PSTN input terminals of a PABX or autodialer via the RJ-11 connector (F in the picture at page 8 / H in the picture at page 9); Connect the gateway to a standard telephone or to the PSTN input ...

Gateway mounting operations Check the GSM/UMTS signal strength through the green indicator LED (see chapter “SIGNALS”, page 42) and identify an area where the signal is strong enough. Note: the signal strength may vary according to the telephone provider. Drill two holes with 5 mm diameter on the wall at a distance of 50 ...
PROGRAMMING Programming can be carried out locally via a multi-frequency telephone or remotely via SMS. ROGRAMMING BY TELEPHONE Connect a standard telephone to the gateway via the RJ-11 connector (F in the picture at page 8 / H in the picture at page 9) or using the TEL terminals (H in the picture at page 8 / L in the picture at page 9).

Battery check If the battery check is enabled, in case of power failure the gateway constantly checks the battery status. When the charge goes below the previously-programmed threshold ensuring the minimum number of operating hours in idle mode, a notification SMS is sent with the following text message: “Low battery”.
If the external power supply is restored for a time interval equal to the preset threshold a new SMS will be sent with the following text message: “External power restored”. The external power failure control is only available on models: GC, R2R, .net and 3G.

SERVICES NCOMING CALLS Allows you to answer incoming calls. Upon receiving a phone call, the LED indicating the line status (white) will blink shortly 4 times every 4 seconds as described at chapter “SIGNALS” (see page 43) and the telephone will be ringing. Pick up the handset to answer the call.
Note: in the event you receive the dissuasion tone picking up the handset, check if the signal is present and make sure the SIM card is working correctly. EASURING THE SIGNAL LEVEL This procedure allows you to check the GSM/UMTS signal level through your telephone.
EADING CARD EXPIRATION This procedure allows you to check how many days until the SIM card expiration. Lift the handset and dial **54#. After the confirmation tone hang up. After receiving the request, the gateway will send an SMS to the number programmed for notifications.
for notifications has not been previously entered or if the gateway is not correctly registered to the GSM/UMT network. CTIVATION RELAY Allows you to activate or deactivate the relay available in the R2R and 3G versions when it is not used to signal the external power supply and/or GSM/UMTS network failure.
