Every table line includes a phone number prefix (of variable length) and other parameters. The parameters define SmartGate's behavior in case the beginning of the dialed number matches this prefix on the same table row. The table contains 120 rows for up to 120 different prefixes.
Page 41
Table of Parameters Remember to complete the "Other prefixes" line for a number whose prefix is not found in the table. An example in the figure shows how to bar all international calls with the exception of calls to Slovakia. Calls to Slovakia are routed through FXO interface and the call is established immediately after 14 digits are dialed.
Page 42

If a # should be part of the dialed number, this function cannot be used for the given prefix. Setting options: YES(1)/NO(0) Default setting:...
Each table pertains to one interface: FXS, FXO and GSM. Calls from FXO interface are routed according to “FXO calls rote to” parameter. You can set 2N® SmartGate as DialThru gateway or as gateway for extension line of PBX. You can program ME function for the DialThru gateway.
Page 44
Mobility Extension - number of rings Function No.: 402 If you program 2N® SmartGate as DialThru gateway and ME number is filled in, 2N® SmartGate starts to establish GSM call to ME number after defined number of rings. Then you can receive incoming FXO call on telephone line or in GSM network.

GSM GSM fax and Data connection 2N® SmartGate with fax converter has ability to send and receive GSM fax messages using analogue fax Group 3 connected to telephone line FXS. The fax communication service must be registered with your GSM operator. It is possible to establish data connection using analog modem connected to FXS line.
FAX and Data function analogue channel of GSM network and the connection is not successful. In this case it is possible to set the gateway using DTMF commands using device connected to FXS line. This commands can be used for data and fax routing to FXS line or serial line.

FAX and Data function connection, to avoid data errors. The data rate for GPRS connection is limited by actual speed of GPRS transfer in GSM network too. This speed is often affected by network load.
Caution Do not use in life-supporting or property-protection applications because of the character of SMS service and 2N® SmartGate equipment. The manufacturer shall not be liable for health and property damage incurred as a result of SMS sending failure.
The program is designed for 2N® SmartGate parameters programming. It can read configuration data from the memory and store them in SmartGate. Moreover, all parameters can be saved in your PC file for backup or saving into another 2N® SmartGate system.
6 - Fax and Data function. CSD or High-Speed GPRS Data Connection to Internet To connect to the Internet, install the faxmodem driver from the 2N® SmartGate CD-ROM first. Another possibility is to use the GSM provider‟s installation wizard in case it supports the SIEMENS GSM module installed in 2N®...
Outgoing and incoming calls even to GSM can be made during GPRS connection. The GPRS connection remains active during the whole call to GSM but no data can be transmitted (2N® SmartGate is a GPRS terminal of class B). Once the call is terminated, data transmission is recovered immediately.
SIM Card PIN protection 4.5 SIM Card PIN protection If a SIM card is PIN-protected and the PIN is not programmed in SmartGate, GSM LED indicates the state and the PIN tone is transmitted on telephone line. PIN Entering by PCManager Like other parameters, the PIN code can be entered using a PC programming tool.
SIM Card PIN protection Automatic PIN Entering You need not enter the PIN upon power up if it is stored in 2N® SmartGate – it is entered automatically. This function is useful in case of power failure; 2N® SmartGate is operable in a short time after power recovery without any intervention by the operating staff.
