Voxell LCR , to achieve minimum costs. If it is for the fixed telephony network, it will be routed instead to the PSTN, via the FXO interface of Voxell LCR. In this way, the fixed-to- mobile calls are converted into mobile-to-mobile calls. Thus you will pay only the mobile-to-mobile cost.
When opening the package, please check the contents against the following: Component Image Component Description Voxell LCR unit in its plastic case. It is a mobile gateway with different interfaces, type FXS, FXO and GSM. Power supply: switching mains adapter Input: 100-240V A.C...
The default value of equipment PIN CODE is 1234, if you want to change it use the OAM application. If the check box „Change PIN Code” is enable, Voxell LCR will generated a new PIN Code, nown for user, which prevents using the SIM card on another terminal, so we recommend you disable this option.
INSTALLATION MANUAL Inserting the SIM card 3.1.2 The SIM card must be inserted into the special slot (holder) of Voxell LCR. The slot of SIM card is located on top right side, under the status LED`s. For inserting or extracting the SIM card use the mobile holder for SIM.
Page 11
When the Voxell LCR equipment is powered and includes a SIM card that has the „PIN CODE REQUEST” option enabled, Voxell LCR will send to SIM card the code that was stored. If this code is different from the SIM code, Voxell LCR switches into the mode of “waiting for PIN code” from the telephone interface.
3.2 Connecting the equipment Labels and identifiers 3.2.1 On the bottom of the case of the Voxell LCR equipment there are glued several labels or tags that show the characteristics and compliance. 3.2.2 Significance of Labels These adhesive labels contain information about the manufacturer, type, model, certification, approval, compliance to international and UE directives.

Voxell LCR transmits the numbering and makes the link with mobile network. You have the option „ON or OFF” for audio tone for dialing. In this last case the Voxell LCR equipment do not offers audio tone, but still takes over and sends the detected digits.
INSTALLATION MANUAL Achieving test calls It is recommended to make first some test call, for verifying if Voxell LCR equipment is operating correctly. For Voxell LCR connected to PBX trunk Incoming call Ring, from a mobile phone, to the number of SIM card used by Voxell LCR. The Interface diverts the call and sends the ringing signal to trunk of PBX exchange.
PIN code is sent wrong for three times in a row, the SIM card will become blocked and request the PUK code to unlock! To enter the codes you can use an analogue phone, which is connected to the Voxell LCR through the FxS interface. The phone must allow you to dial digits in DMTF mode (tones). Also the FxS interface of Voxell LCR must be activated.
Voxell LCR is connected, anyone who calls the mobile number of the Voxell LCR from a public network will get the right to access the outgoing lines of the PBX exchange.
