The manufacturer continuously meets customer requirements by improving the firmware. For the latest EasyGate processor firmware, programming tool and User Manual see www.2n.cz. For a detailed description of the EasyGate firmware upgrade refer to the section devoted to the PC programming tool.
Packing List An EasyGate delivery contains the following items: Number of Item Pieces EasyGate 1 pc Antenna for direct connection 1 pc Magnetic Antenna with coax cable 1 pc Supply adapter 1 pc Telephone cable 1 pc PC-connection serial cable 1 pc SMS sending input connector 1 pc...
1. EasyGate purpose 1.1. Basic Functions · The primary purpose of EasyGate is to transmit voice between a GSM network and an attached FXO-interface terminal (PBX, telephone, answering machine, etc.). · You can establish data connections (GPRS, CSD), fax connections (PC-FAX) and send/receive SMS using EasyGate in combination with a PC and appropriate software.
2. Installation 2.1. Proper Location · EasyGate is designed for vertical mounting on suspension holes (use the mounting pattern). This position is the best for signal reception because a vertical antenna is used. EasyGate can be operated in the horizontal position too where the GSM signal is good.
2.2. External Antenna Connection Screw the antenna enclosed into the SMA antenna connector. Tighten the antenna connector gently with your hand - never use wrenches! The antenna enclosed has a sufficient gain for trouble-free operation in normal conditions. If the GSM signal is poor or you want to place your antenna separately from EasyGate, you can use an antenna with an SMA-connector terminated cable.
2.4. Connector description SMS sending input Telephone line RJ 12, 6/2 Power supply connector DC Jack 2,1mm RS232C serial line D-Sub 9 pins 2.5. Telephone Line Connection 2.5.1. PBX Connection Connect EasyGate to a free CO line of your PBX. Configure your PBX in such a manner that GSM outgoing calls are routed to EasyGate.
A transistor switch or logic signal can be used too. The pin near the telephone line connector is connected to GND of the device the second one is active. Please, respect the loop current polarity. The input is over-voltage protected (up to +12V DC). 2.8.
3. EasyGate Status Indication 3.1. Indication LEDs Name Meaning · Light = EasyGate is powered. Power supply · Flashes once in 2s = HW error, contact the manufacturer. · Light = logged-in to GSM · Flashes once in 1s = logged-out, SIM card inserted ·...

Dialing end signaling: · Dialing reception has been terminated. Connection is being established. PIN tone: · Enter the PIN code. · This tone is transmitted upon power up if the PIN has to be entered manually. PUK tone: · Enter the PUK code. ·...
4. SIM Card PIN protection If a SIM card is PIN-protected and the PIN is not programmed in EasyGate, GSM LED indicates the state and the PIN tone is transmitted on telephone line. 4.1. PIN Entering by PCManager Like other parameters, the PIN code can be entered using a PC programming tool. The PIN will be entered automatically upon next EasyGate power up.
5. Voice function Outgoing and incoming call establishing procedures for an analog telephone are described for illustration. The procedures are the same for the EasyGate-PBX connection, just remember to program call routing to EasyGate properly. Check EasyGate’s function by connecting a telephone before. Suppose that a SIM card has been inserted, the PIN code entered or not required, the antenna connected and EasyGate registered to GSM network –...
5.4. Tariff pulses 16 or 12 kHz EasyGate has tariff pulse transmitter. You can use tariff pulses for outgoing call pricing. EasyGate offer pseudotariff only – tariff metering doesn’t correspond to real price of call, tariff pulses are transmitted according to programmed parameters and call duration.
7. COM – Serial Interface The complete serial interface RS-232C on a 9-pin connector is identical with any external modem. The transmission rate ranges from 1200 to 115200 bps (EasyGate supports autobauding, i.e. responds to an AT command at a rate identical with the AT command transmission rate, and retains set on this rate).
7.3. FAX Transmission - PC-FAX EasyGate allows fax transmissions from your PC. However, do not confuse the PC- Fax service with a standard fax service – no fax machine can be connected to the telephone line! But the PC-Fax can establish connection with a standard fax machine and transmit documents.
7.6. Combination of COM Traffic with Voice Calls As already mentioned, SMS transmission can be made even during telephone calls. The SMS program is only blocked temporarily during outgoing call establishing and incoming call ringing. The same applies to PCManager monitoring. A message announcing that EasyGate is blocked is displayed during voice call establishing.
8. EasyGate Parameter Programming All EasyGate parameters have such default values that meet most users’ demands and need not be changed. To change EasyGate parameters in spite of that, you can either: · Use a PC with the PCManager installed. All functions supported by EasyGate can be set using the PC.
8.2. PC based Programming For programming, connect EasyGate to a PC with a serial cable and make sure that the EasyGate PCManager is installed. Programming is intuitive and easy. All steps are accompanied with texts hints above all items you point at with the mouse. EasyGate data uploading and storing, including firmware upgrade, are executed in a special mode, in which EasyGate waits for about 3s after power up (all LEDs are on).

8.2.3. Upgrade The manufacturer responds to clients' requirements with periodical firmware updating. The current EasyGate firmware, PCManager and User Manual are available on www.2n.cz. The latest firmware version is always included in every new PCManager installation. Upgrading procedure: 1. Run the PCManager, select the language for displaying texts on the right-hand side.
