DESCRIPTION 4G.VoLTE 4G.VoLTE is a device that, connected to a fixed telephone or to the PSTN input terminals of a PABX or autodialer, allows you to make and receive calls over the 4G LTE/UMTS/GSM network. 4G.VoLTE gateway comes with built-in backup batteries and a relay output which can be activated either locally or remotely via SMS.
Remote reboot function Data transmission from devices connected to the DB-9 connector in RS-232, RS-485 or CAN-bus standards (4G.VoLTE CAN only) SMS sending from devices connected to the DB-9 connector in RS- 232, RS-485 or CAN-bus standards (4G.VoLTE CAN only) ...

INSTALLATION 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 ...
Position the antenna with magnetic base so that any metal surfaces do not block the signal. 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 (G in the picture at page 8).
Connection to the power supply Power supply via 230 Vac external adapter Connect the external adapter to the specific input (H in the picture at page 8). Connect the backup batteries to the dedicated input (N in the picture at page 8).
Turning the gateway on Power the gateway. Wait 30 seconds after power-up to give time to the gateway to register correctly with the 4G LTE/UMTS/GSM network. Make sure the red LED (device status) flashes as shown in chapter ...
Gateway mounting operations Check the 4G LTE/UMTS/GSM signal strength through the green indicator LED (see chapter “Signals”, page 44) 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 ...
Installation recommendations The gateway must be installed in a location where the radio signal allows for using the system. 4G LTE/UMTS/GSM It is advisable to leave plenty of space around the gateway for maintenance operations. Do not install the gateway outdoors, since it lacks protection devices against weather conditions that can damage the gateway (water, humidity, etc.).
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 (G in the picture at page 8) or using the TEL terminals (I in the picture at page 8).

If the battery check is enabled, the gateway detects the presence of the battery. If the battery is absent or in case of disconnection, a notification SMS is sent to the programmed number with the following text message: “Dead battery”. External power failure control If the control on external power failure is enabled, the gateway constantly controls the external power supply (230 Vac or 12 Vdc).
Note: the internal clock must be programmed each time the device is switched off. Automatic converter of selected telephone number If the function is enabled the gateway, instead of calling the telephone number dialed from the connected telephone (autodialer or other telephone device), forwards the call to a previously set number.

ROGRAMMING VIA Programming via SMS is possible by any mobile phone or other device supporting SMS. In case the administrator number has been previously set, programming via SMS is only allowed from such telephone number. An SMS notifying that programming has been completed will be sent back by the gateway to the same telephone number that forwarded the programming SMS.

DATA TRANSMISSION The COMNet system allows users to connect remotely with devices equipped with RS232/RS485/CAN BUS, replacing traditional serial communication which is commonly performed locally (i.e. between peripherals and custom boards – Fig. A – or between a PC-based proprietary application and a lift controller board – Fig. B –). Figure A: example of local serial communication Figure B: example of local serial communication Figure C: general example of remote serial communication...
Page 40
Setting up a COMNet system requires: - connecting a 4G.VoLTE CAN gateway (properly programmed) to the serial port of the remote device to be controlled (the SIM card to be inserted into the gateway must be enabled for voice/SMS/data traffic)
Page 41
SIM card needed for remote monitoring. 4G.VoLTE CAN can manage a data call and a voice call at the same time, therefore in case of a voice emergency call, the ongoing data connection will not be cut off.
