Turning the gateway on Power the gateway. Wait 30 seconds after power-up to give time to the gateway to register correctly with the GSM/UMTS network. Make sure the red LED (device status) flashes briefly once every 3 seconds as shown in chapter “SIGNALS”...
Gateway mounting operations Check the GSM/UMTS signal strength through the green indicator LED (see chapter “SIGNALS”, page 63) 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 GSM/UMTS system. 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 VIA TELEPHONE Allows you to customise the gateway according to your requirements. Programming can be carried out locally via a MF telephone. You can programme: voltage of telephone line; use mode; inter-digit dialling time; CLIP/CLIR settings; ...
Note: at the end of each programming carried out correctly, you will hear a confirmation tone, while an error tone will be heard in case of error. In any case, the dialling tone will follow, after which you can proceed with the programming or make a call.
SE MODE The gateway delivers 4 different use modes which allow to improve performance according to the specific devices being connected. They should be selected in case the connected devices detect the telephone line tones or when echo occurs during conversation. Factory default: mode1.
After the confirmation tone hang up or enter additional settings. Mode 4 Use mode recommended to reduce echo in case of connection with devices effecting tone detection over the line. (confirm) Lift the handset and dial: **24. Dial # to confirm. ...
After the confirmation tone hang up or carry on with other programmings. CLIP SETTING Upon an incoming call, if a telephone connected to the gateway is provided with a display, it will show the CLI (caller identification). Moreover, on some telephones and some switchboards, it is also possible to display date and time of the call.
Note: if the gateway remains off for a long time, it will be necessary to repeat the activation procedure; otherwise the date and time displayed could be incorrect. Deactivation (confirm) Lift the handset and dial: **7*0. Dial # to confirm. ...
After the confirmation tone hang up or carry on with other programmings. Note: if you choose option 1 your telephone number will not appear on the call recipient’s display. Temporary setting The following programming allows you to modify the CLIR permanent setting for one call only.
OAMING SETTING It allows to enable or disable the roaming function of the gateway. When the roaming service is disabled, in case the gateway registers with a different provider than the programmed, it is not possible to make or receive any calls. Such a condition is signalled by the following tone sequence: Factory default: roaming enabled Note: such setting is recommended for use under...

XTERNAL 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). If the external power failure lasts longer than the preset time interval, a notification SMS is sent to the programmed telephone number (see “Setting telephone number for notification service”).
Dial # to confirm. After the confirmation tone hang up or carry on with other programmings. ELAY BASED NOTIFICATION OF EXTERNAL GSM/UMTS POWER FAILURE AND NETWORK LOSS It allows to use the relay output to signal the absence/restoration of: - the external power supply (230 Vac or 12 Vdc) - the GSM/UMTS network.
