Question 1

2N 2Wire - Installation and Configuration

Accepted Answer

2N 2Wire is a set of two convertor units that lets you connect any IP device installed at locations with no IP infrastructure to your network. Connect the device, such as an IP intercom, to one unit and a switch to the other unit. Then connect both convertor units to each other using the existing analogue wiring. This will transmit audio and video as well as supply power.   Prerequisites  2N 2Wire(2 pieces of 2N 2Wire converter units and 1 power supply adapter)  Specifications: Speed: 10/100 Base T, half/full duplex, auto-negotiationIEEE 802.3 af/at 40Watt Compliant PoE+Cable Type: 2Wire, Cat 5e., Cat 6. or similarImpedance: 25Ω to 100ΩTransmit Coverage: Typical 720ft (220m) @ Cat6 with PoE at far end; up to 2460ft (750m) possible; depends on wiring and interference      Product features  Using legacy analog 2 wire cabling for IP intercom connection including PoE power supply  Easy configuration, no IP address and network setup required, plug&play  Powering the IP-connected devices via PoE is possible up to a distance of 220m, twice the maximum Ethernet specification cable length.  You can connect up to 2 pairs of 2N 2Wire convertor units to a single switch. This means you can connect an intercom to several indoor stations as well as an IP camera.The pairing procedure must be proceeded first.    Basic installation      Install 2N 2Wire leader unit where your Ethernet cable ends and 2 wire cabling begins, plug in them.Do not connect 2N 2Wire units to PoE ports. If you don't have any non-PoE ports available, make sure to disable PoE on the port you're going to connect 2N 2Wire to.    Install 2N 2Wire follower unit where you need to convert 2 wire cable back to Ethernet at a remote location. Please observe polarity of the 2 wires. Connect the provided power supply to the leader unit.  Either of the units can be leader or follower.Leader unit is the one with connected power supply while follower is powered via 2 wires.  Blue Power LED indicators should indicate that both units are powered.      Use case scenarios  Single leader & Single follower      This is the simplest configuration and works straight out of the box.Just make sure you connect the 2 wires correctly to each adapter. Positive to positive & negative to negative.      Single leader & multiple followers This works straight out of the box as well.Multiple followers can be wired into a single leader, max. 3 followers can be connected to a leader.Again make sure to connect the 2 wire correctly to each adapter. Positive to positive & negative to negative.      Multiple leaders & Multiple followers If this configuration is required and you are installing multiple leader adapters on to a single network, it is very important to perform the pairing procedure (described below the pictures),otherwise you may experience network conflict issues.        The pairing procedure All units are in join mode. They will find each other and establish basic level encrypted communication.To use more leaders in the same network, we must return the units to an un-joined mode and then join them again.In case of adding another unit (e.g. as a replacement), you must repeat all the procedure again.Un-joining mode  Connect the power supply to the leader and connect the follower via the 2 wire connection.Do not connect them to the network or the IP device yet.Press and hold the ‘Grp’ button for 10 seconds, until you see all lights on the adapter go off.Then you should see only the power light illuminated.   Joining modeIn a single leader & single follower joining scenario, it doesn't matter which unit you put into this mode first.If you have multiple followers connected to a single leader, then you must connect all followers via the 2Wire connection to the leader first, then run individual joining procedures for each connected follower. To do this you must initiate the joining mode on the leader first and then the first follower. Then repeat this for each follower connected to the leader.         Connect the power supply to the leader and connect the follower via the 2 wire connection.Do not connect them to the network or the IP device yet.Press and hold the ‘Grp’ button for 2 seconds.After release, the ‘PoE’ light will begin steadily blinkingletting you know that the adapter is in ‘seek’ mode and is looking for another adapter to pair to.Once an adapter has found another adapter to pair to the ‘TWP LED’ will become static, letting you know pairing is complete.

Question 2

2N Analog Intercom / Busy tone - Parameters setting

Accepted Answer

The call termination on 2N Analog Intercoms devices can be done as described below:  The busy or continuous tone *) after the call end.  The ringing tone *) after a predefined count of rings.  The subscriber 'at the other end' pressed  .  The preset maximum call duration has elapsed.  30 seconds after the switch use has elapsed.  A 2N Analog Intercom button was pressed during the call.  The  keypad button was pressed during the call (can be disabled).  *) The communicator is able to detect a permanent tone, busy tone and ringing tone even if the tone has two frequency components as in the UK, the U.S.A. (the so-called BTT tone) and in Canada. This new function does not require setting of any parameter. One of the tone components must be of 440 Hz.   In case that the device would not detect the Busy tone (or continuous tone) correctly you have to verify the setting of parameters described bellow 941 Minimum continuous tone time, if the tone is longer, the intercom hangs up. (default value 20=2s, range 10-99) 942 Minimum busy tone or pause duration, this parameter control the busy tone detection. They are used for call termination. (default value 8=0,08s, range 0-255) 943 Maximum busy tone or pause duration, this parameter control the busy tone detection. They are used for call termination. (default value 8=0,08s, range 0-255) 944 Maximum tone-pause difference, this parameter control the busy tone detection. They are used for call termination. (default value 8=0,08s, range 0-255)     Explanation of Parameters 942, 943, 944 Busy tone pic. 1 The parameter 942 has to set regarding to the shorter part of the busy tone. In case that the period of tone time is longer than pause time we must set the parameter for pause. Example The busy tone in the pic. 1 in the figure above is considerably longer than the pause time. Therefore, set parameter 942 according to the pause, to 200 ms, e.g., and parameter 943 according to the tone, to 600 ms, for example. In this case, however, the default values can be maintained for both the parameters. Since the tone – pause difference is 500 − 250 = 250 ms, set parameter 944 to 300 ms, for example.  In some cases can also help to increase parameter 944 also when 2N Analog Intercom is placed in a hall or corridor with a large decay time.

Question 9

2N IP Eye issue - How to enable 2N IP Eye in Windows firewall?

Accepted Answer

If you have installed 2N IP Eye software in your computer and you can not see a popup window (with video from 2N IP Intercoms) at the time of an incoming call, the problem most likely resides in the firewall settings of your computer. In your Windows installation, go to section "Control Panel -> Windows Firewall" and click on "Advanced settings" as shown in the picture below.  On the left side of this window choose "Inbound Rules" and in the list of programs find 2N IP Eye. If there is a red icon, 2N IP Eye application is blocked by firewall and you have to change it manually.  So make a double click on this "Rule" and in "General" tab set the parameter Action to "Allow the connection". Then confirm those changes by "OK" button.  Do this change for both 2N® IP Eye rules. Then you should see that the icon changed according to the picture below.   As a last step do not forget to restart your computer! Otherwise the changes may not apply.  Now the Windows firewall is set properly and 2N IP Eye window should popup without any problems.

Question 14

2N IP Intercoms - How to add user access credentials

Accepted Answer

The steps in this article require using the web interface of a 2N device. Please follow this manual in case this is your first time using the web interface.   This FAQ describes how to add access credentials to 2N IP intercoms and Access Units. These scenarios can be used on following devices:  2N IP Verso  2N IP Vario  2N IP Base  2N IP Force  2N IP Style  2N Access Unit  2N Access Unit 2.0  2N Access Unit M     RFID card access To add a new RFID card to the unit, you need to first find the ID of the card. Please put the card on the reader and then see the unit's log in Status -> Events. You will see the event "CardEntered", you need to see the "uid" parameter. Scroll to the right and copy it:   Now please go to Directory -> Users. You can either create a new user (1) or edit an existing one (2):  In User details, go to User Cards and paste the card ID here:  Now the RFID card access has been created.   Saving a new RFID card's ID can be also done with 2N USB RFID reader. A driver is needed for this device, more info is here. When the driver is installed, you can start scanning from the reader by clicking the button next to the field for Card ID.       Fingerprint access To setup a fingerprint access, go to Directory -> Users -> select User -> User Fingerprints -> click on one of the highlighted buttons. Left one is for assignment via 2N External Fingerprint reader. Right one is for assignment via reader module mounted on a unit:  Now select the finger you want to use and click Scan Finger:  Now you need to scan it 3 times and save it:  Now you can choose what this fingerprint will be used for by clicking on the highlighted button:  By default, Open door option is selected. Silent Alarm option is for triggering a silent alarm when this finger is scanned. F1 and F2 Automation option is for use in Automation scenarios. After you set the correct function, click Save and Quit.   PIN code access There are several ways of adding a PIN code access to the device:  1) The PIN code is associated with the respective Switch In this case, when the correct PIN is entered, unit will not show which User activated the switch, it will just show that the correct PIN was entered and the switch was activated. You can set this in Hardware -> Switches -> (for example) Switch 1 -> Activation Codes. You will also need to make sure that Keypad, DTMF or Keypad only option is active. After you enter the code, click Save:    2) The PIN code is associated with a User In this case, using a PIN code will generate an Event in the unit that will inform which User's PIN code was used. In this scenario, each User has their own PIN code(s). To configure this, go to Directory -> Users -> select the User -> User Codes:  PIN Code option - this PIN code will activate a Switch that is associated with Door (in Hardware -> Switches). Good for scenarios where each User needs their own PIN code and they need to control just one Switch. Switch codes - these codes are associated with respective Switch. User can control each Switch individually and those PIN codes are associated with this User only. The fields for codes here are greyed out if the respective Switch is not enabled. You can enable a Switch in Hardware -> Switches.    QR code To be able to use QR codes for authentication, you need to first enable this function, you can do so in Services -> Access Control -> Entry rules -> QR code reading:  To create a new QR code credential, go to Directory -> Users -> select a User -> User Codes:   PIN Code - this QR code is associated with a Switch that is assigned to Door, in Hardware -> Switches section  Switch codes - these codes are associated with respective Switch  You can enter numeric code with at least 10 digits and then click the button with QR symbol next to the field for entering the code. This will show you a QR code representing the digits entered:  You can download the image with QR code with the first button. Generate button will generate a new code. Apply Code will close the window and fill in the field for the code with the last generated code.

Question 22

2N NetStar - Initial configuration - How to start?

Accepted Answer

In this document you will learn how to set the initial configuration of 2N NetStar. After having read this document you should be able to:  connect to the NetStar via COM port (serial cable is attached to each NetStar delivery)  configure network, time and system service parameters via COM port  set the basic parameters of the NetStar with the help of configuration wizard  explain the basic difference between online and offline database   Connection to the NetStar via COM Each 2N NetStar delivery includes a standard serial cable for the PC – 2N NetStar connection. It is a six-core telephone cable which has RJ11 connector on one side and RS-232 female connector on the other side. For connection from your PC to 2N NetStar you need to use HyperTerminal program or Putty. Set the Serial communication with these parameters:  Transmission speed: 115 200Bd  Data bits: 8  Stop bits: 1  Parity: None  Flow control: None  After connection to the 2N NetStar you have to enter the correct username and password in order to get access to the Main Menu of the configuration interface. The default Administrator settings are as follows:  Username: Admin  Password: 2n   In Main Menu you can see four options for settings and you can also see there the actual firmware version that is loaded in 2NNetStar. It is very important information for you because “Administration tool” which is used for next configuration needs to have the same version as firmware version uploaded in 2N NetStar.  Configuration menu – number "1" in Main Menu If you press number 1 in Main Menu you will go to Configuration menu. In this menu you can set network parameters, bridges and time. In bridges section you can open some ports (e.g. for CTI communication) and in time section you can set the actual time and date.  The most important part of this menu is Network settings. In this section you can set IP address of CPU, network mask and default gateway. You can also choose whether you want to use DHCP or if you set static IP. Default IP address is 192.168.100.100 (see next picture). Next parameters that can be set are DNS servers, host name of 2N NetStar and domain name.    System menu – number "2" in Main Menu If you press number 2 in Main Menu, you will go to System menu. In this menu you can turn the internal web server, telnet server and SSH server on or off. You can also restore factory settings here or reboot the 2N NetStar.     Connection to the NetStar – Administrator tool First of all you have to verify firmware version which is uploaded on NetStar. You can do it easily if you use Putty program for connection to 2N NetStar and on the top left corner you will see the actual firmware version – it is visible in the first picture where there is the actual firmware marked with a red frame. After this you have to install Administrator tool to your PC – you can find this tool on the www.2n.com.  Administration tool – connection parameters When you have successfully installed the tool, you can launch it – you will have an icon on the desktop of your PC if you checked off this option during the installation or you will find it in the folder that you have selected for installation. Now you have to set new connection in Admin tool:  Create new group – see the step 1 in the picture below. Click on the “Create group” icon and select “On the same level”. I have named this group 3.1.10.  Add new PBX to this group – step 2 in the figure below. Click on the “Create PBX” icon and select “To group”. Then enter the name of PBX (in the example is Test_PBX) and click the OK button (step 3).  Fill in the connection parameters – you have to fill in connection name, choose one of the modes option (on-line = only on-line connection to the 2N NetStar, off-line = only off-line configuration of database or both). Next you have to set a method how you want to connect to NetStar:  TCP/IP – you have to set IP address of CPU and IP port  Modem - you have to set phone number  COM port  It is also possible to set timeout between attempts if the connection was unsuccessful or you can preset username and password for this connection.   After this setting you will see your Test_PBX in group 3.1.10 and two connections for this PBX. Make a double click on the “Local – on-line” connection and you will be connected to the 2NNetStar. Hardware installation wizard begins automatically.   Administration tool – hardware installation wizard Now you will be briefly acquainted with the installation wizard and with the most relevant quick start settings. First of all 2N NetStar needs to make hardware detection. In this case you have to set BRI configuration – if there are some BRI cards in the NetStar, ports will be selected by default.  TE = terminal equipment (receives sync from the opposite side)  NT = network termination (gives sync to the opposite side)  PTP = point to point communication  MPT = point to multipoint communication   When you select one of these options, you should click on “Next” button and automatic hardware configuration will be finished (see the picture below).  After finishing the hardware detection, you should press “Next” button and next installation wizard will start. This wizard will guide you through configuration of basic parameters of 2N NetStar for the first start-up. There are 8 sections you will go through and you can see them on the figures below (images are arranged in the same order as in the wizard):  Localization – set the destination where the 2N NetStarwill be deployed. In Advanced settings you can fill in numbers and prefixes that will be used for localization of calling numbers (figure below - part 1)  Time settings – set the actual date and time. You can do it manually or you can synchronize time of NetStar with network time server (NTP server) or you can get time from your computer (figure below - part 2)  Working scheme – select the working scheme in which you want to use 2N NetStar. There are four options:  PBX - classic PBX with SIP, ASL, cornet extensions, mobility extensions, etc.  Virtual PBC - 2N NetStar is e.g. structured for more companies in one building (each company has its own numbering plan, routing, special services, etc.)  GSM gateway - 2N NetStar is set as a basic gateway to GSM network  Hotel    Extensions definition – choose one of the options for extension settings. You can choose automatic extension settings (create a group to which all created extensions will be added and then set the numbers for ASL, SIP and cornet extensions. If you create some SIP extensions then default SIP proxy will be also automatically created). You can also import numbering plan from your PC or you can skip this option and set the extension later in the Administration tool (figure below - part 4)  Assistant settings – if you plan to use Assistant server (web server for users), you can start this server right now from wizard and you can also generate default logins for users – these users were created in the previous step (figure below - part 5)    SIP domain - set the domain name for SIP communication (figure below - part 6). This option is available only if you set some SIP extensions in previous step.  SMTP settings – create the SMTP account for email sending. You can specify server address and also email address for this account (next figure - part 7)   Router settings – choose one of four options for router settings. Each option has different number of routers and also different type of routers. You can also add some more routers to each of these groups (next figure - part 8):  ROUTER_CZ: there are 32 routers which can be configured in order to meet your requirements. You can specify routers for emergency calls, for local calls, for calls to national networks and GSM networks, etc. If you choose this router type, you can specify prefixes for AUTHORIZE_LO and AUTHORIZE_LO+GSM router (figure below - part 9).  ROUTERS_DEFAULT: there are only 6 routers for this option. You can find there Default, Authorize, Internal, PSTN, Services and SMS Services routers.  ROUTERS_BASIC: there are 14 routers in this section. You can find there same routers as was in routers_default plus there are routers for ME, PSTN, SMS in and out, etc.  ROUTERS_SK: there are the same routers as in router_CZ group but there are some more prefixes predefined.        On-line and Off-line database On-line database – it is an actual database saved in 2N NetStar. If you want to make changes in this database, you need to have on-line connection to NetStar (via TCP/IP, COM port or modem). Changes are saved to NetStar after you click on the “Save changes” button on the top menu. Off-line database – this database is saved on your computer and you can find it here:C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\App Data\2N TELEKOMUNIKACE\Netstar\Tools\PbxX. You can verify the destination folder in properties of PBX (see figure 5 – PBX parameters window). When you connect to the 2N NetStar in off-line mode, the database from this folder will be uploaded – the name of this file is Db.xml. You can make changes in this off-line database without any impact to the 2NNetStar configuration. From off-line database mode you can connect to the NetStar by click on the “Connect” button on the top menu. Then you can select one of three options you have (see the figure below):  Load from PBX – you will load configuration from NetStar to off-line mode (configuration from NetStar will be saved to file Db.xml in you PC).  Save to PBX – you will save your off-line configuration to the NetStar (this configuration will be saved there and will be active!)  Move changes – you will only move changes that have been made in off-line mode to NetStar on-line configuration (you need not save all configuration to NetStar but only the difference between off-line and on-line configuration).

Question 27

2N SIM Star blocks FW upgrade on gateways

Accepted Answer

If you have some gateways connected to 2N SIM Star Server and you want to make firmware upgrade of any of these gateways directly from PRI config program (BlueTower, StarGate) or via web interface (VoiceBlue Next, new CPU for StarGate and BlueTower), it could happen that you will not be able to do that. You will select the newest FW, upload it to the gateway and see the message, that firmware has been successfully upgraded.  Firmware upgrade via PRI config tool    Firmware upgrade via web interface    Then the gateway will be restarted automatically in order to load new firmware, but after that there will be still the old FW version in the gateway. The reason may be simple – it is because of 2N SIM Star where is uploaded one FW version common for all specific gateways connected to it. Once you will change this firmware file in 2N SIM Star, all gateways connected to it will be upgraded (downgraded) automatically. You can verify the required FW version for a gateway in 2N SIM Star.   Solution for manual upgrade If you want to make FW upgrade manually, you have two options:  Remove uploaded firmware file from 2N SIM Star - this can be done in section "SIM Server –> GW & SB/SC firmware" and then click on the "Remove" button next to the specific firmware file. Once you remove this file, you will be able to make FW upgrade manually on the gateway.   Disconnect your gateway from 2N SIM Star and make an upgrade as shown in the first picture (via PRI config tool or via web interface - it depends on the gateway). But do not connect this gateway back to SIM Star - if you do that, then FW will be upgraded / downgraded to required FW version.

Question 28

2N SIM Star shows a low ACD value

Accepted Answer

2N SIM Star shows a low ACD value   Make sure that the SIM card credit and validity check is set correctly – lower ACD may result in the fact that an incoming call is forwarded to the IVR services informing of a low credit, etc.

Question 29

2N SIM Star shows a low ASR value

Accepted Answer

Make sure that your SIP Proxy does not send a count of GSM calls higher than the GSM gateway capacity.  If the frequent SIM card change is set, reduce the maximum count of calls via the GSM gateway – the GSM modules are temporarily unavailable for standard calls while being in the process of recharging (especially the IVR type), virtual incoming calling or SIM replacement.

Question 32

2N SmartCom PRO - Input circuits

Accepted Answer

2N SmartCom PRO is equipped with three inputs, which are mutually galvanically connected with the GND reference point (have a common GROUND). The input circuits can work in three modes – voltage, current or logical levels – as configured.  disconnect 2N SmartCom PRO from the power supply before opening the cover  loosen the screws and open the box lid to get access to the PCB jumpers.  The figures below show the location of the current/voltage/S0 switching jumpers:    Note: If you want to use voltage mode and current mode properly, you need to calibrate 10-bits A/D converter connected to the input terminals (IN1, IN2, IN3). But keep in mind that an uncalibrated input is still functional (but can read values less precisely).    Voltage Measurement Voltage can be measured in the range between 0 and 10 V DC. Make sure that the 2N SmartCom PRO jumpers are set as shown in the figure above before using this mode.   Current Measurement Electric current can be measured in the range between 4 and 20 mA. Make sure that the 2N SmartCom PRO jumpers are set as shown in the figure above before using this mode   An example is given for the ADC circuit 1 (scadc1). To read circuit 2(3), replace 1 with 2(3) in the command (scadc2/scdc3). at^scadc1="get_value"  The command performs measurement on the selected interface and sends the calibrated value measured.  at^scadc1="adc_value"  The command performs measurement and returns the value from the A/D converter.  at^scadc1="calib_min"  Automatic interface calibration according to the currently measured value.  at^scadc1="calib_max"  Automatic interface calibration according to the currently measured value.  at^scadc1="threshold_low",1200  Manual calibration setting (minimum values). Setting options: 0–4090.  at^scadc1="threshold_high",3250  Manual calibration setting (maximum values). Setting options: 0–4090.  at^scadc1="save"  The command saves the changes.    Logical Level Monitoring You can monitor the logical levels of voltage and current signals. Use other commands than those intended for classic measurements and define the threshold levels. Again, use the AT commands for reading values on input circuits. at^scdin1="get_value"  The command detects the logical level on the selected interface and sends the value 1/0  at^scdin1="calib_min"  Automatic interface calibration according to the currently measured value  at^scdin1="calib_max"  Automatic interface calibration according to the currently measured value  at^scdin1="threshold_low",1400  Manual calibration setting (minimum values). Setting options: 0–4090  at^scdin1="threshold_high",3450  Manual calibration setting (maximum values). Setting options: 0–4090  at^scdin1="save"  The command saves the changes.

Check settings at^scport2="save" Save settings         M-Bus data readout from 2NSmartCom PRO Data can be read using 2N  SmartCom PRO in two modes either Transparent mode or using Autonomous Metering System functionality:  Transparent mode:  2N® SmartCom PRO is used as communication data channel and data are not stored in 2N® SmartCom PRO internal memory. Application / script, reading M-Bus data from meter is running on remote server site and reading data using 2N® SmartCom PRO communication interface. Data are stored on server site in the application or file. There are no data available in case the 2N® SmartCom PRO is not available over IP network  Autonomous Metering System (AMS)  With AMS functionality 2N SmartCom PRO can read and store M-Bus data from meter autonomously in predefined interval. Read data are stored to internal memory of 2N SmartCom PRO. Data are stored in original M-Bus format. Data are presented in the 2n® SmartCom PRO internal memory even when the WAN connection is not available. So you can easily read them out from the memory when connected to the terminal (no matter whether it is local RS232 or telnet connection). It can prevent missing data in case the IP network is not available.   M-Bus messages and parsing  Original M-Bus format: You can work with M-Bus messages in original format defined by M-Bus standard. All types of M-Bus messages are described for example on website http://www.m-bus.com/, messages are in HEX format. You can request the data from meter by sending commands to M-Bus meter directly through the SmartCom PRO terminal for example from hyperterminal or some software which support HEX strings. In Standalone mode you need to use telnet for SmartCom PRO terminal communication (IP address of 2N ® SmartCom PRO and port 10002).In TCP Client mode you can create and use virtual port (serial or TCP port), that virtual port can be mapped to 2N ® SmartCom PRO M-Bus interface.    Autonomous Metering System (AMS)  2N SmartCOM PRO can be set to reads data from M-Bus end device autonomously and store data in internal memory. Format of stored M-Bus message in internal memory: ^SCDATA:,,,,,,,  - typ of record - AMS  - time mark  - sequential number of saved record  - name of protocol  - index of device from table of devices  - number 0 = without error  - not used in M-Bus  - raw data Raw data: at^scdata="get_oldest",3 ^SCDATA: "AMS",1427985840,25036,"MBUS",1,0,"","685E5E6808007268170308653299068E0000000C13911800000B22730404046D3510E2 14326C00000C786817030806FD0C0A000100FA010DFD0B05313248465701FD0E004C1374180000426CDF1C0F37FD170000000000000000027A2500027825004116"    Script that runs on you Server / PC:  You can create your own script for parsing M-Bus messages. Examples of testing scripts are available on request from 2N support. Those scripts are based on linux library libmbus (http://www.rscada.se/libmbus/). Data are processed and saved to TXT, CSV, and similar files format. Examples:  Data from water meter Siemens parsed by libmbus library      8031768 LSE 153 Siemens WFH21 Hot water 13 00 0000     Instantaneous value Volume (m m^3) 1913 2015-06-22T13:49:42     Instantaneous value On time (hours) 42417 2015-06-22T13:49:42    ....

An error buffer is implemented in each terminal to store data on terminal operation errors. To display the buffer contents use either the terminal (an AT command) or an SMS.  SMS: The SMS displays the last 10 errors starting with the most recent one. SC ERR PWD= [CLR] This command includes one optional parameter – CLR. If you add this string after the password in the command SMS, you will receive an SMS showing the current buffer contents and all errors will then be deleted from the terminal memory. The following reply will come from the terminal after processing:1:8,10 2:3,10 1:1,0 7:8,10 6:8,7 5:7,40 4:11,848   AT COMMAND: Error codes are obtained by AT^SCERR? which response is: ^SCERR: {id}> {ID}, {Additional value}id - Sequence number of the error since the last start-up.ID - Error identification.

Question 35

2N StarGate - Multiple outbound SMS web users

Accepted Answer

In this FAQ you will see how to configure multiple outbound SMS web users feature on 2N StarGate gateway. There are several important steps which have to be followed for proper settings of this feature.  Introduction and requirements Note: As a very first step please make sure that the license for Multiple outbound SMS web users feature is uploaded into your 2N StarGate gateway. This license is sold as a package for 10 users (you can buy licence for 10, 20, 30, etc. users) and you can have up to 200 licensed users in the gateway. If you want to verify whether you have the correct license uploaded in your gateway, go to section "Management -> License key". You should see the licenses called SMSW and SMSUx in the "Active" row. SMSW indicates that Multiple outbound SMS web users function is enabled and SMSUx indicates number of licensed users where x stands for this number (see the picture below). If there is not a license for Multiple outbound SMS web users (SMSW) then you will not see tab "Messaging" on the top bar!   How to set multiple outbound SMS web users From firmware version 1.25 you can create SMS users which then can access web interface of gateway and login in order to send messages. Please see necessary steps below:  own proper license - SMSW in gateway info needs to be present and you require to have at least one user (SMSUxx)      SMS Server enabled: Yes (checked box) - can be found in Messaging -> SMS Server      user(s) needs to be configured. Can be found in Messaging -> Users  user needs to have associated Access Type either Web - testing or Web     routing for outgoing SMS needs to be configured for user - can be found in Messaging -> User Group x (depends on what user group is used for previously created user - in our example it is group 1) -> Outgoing SMS routing.     Proper SMS group and user needs to be chosen in order to assign GSM modules which will be used for such SMS sending. In our example, we assign user we created to SMS Group 1 and then we assign SMS Group 1 to all GSM modules.    When above steps are done and saved in to gateway, user with defined username and password can login to gateway's web interface and send SMS.

Question 37

2N Student Monitoring System with 2N IP Intercoms

Accepted Answer

Info   This FAQ describes, how you can configure 2N VoiceBlue Next gateway (You can also use 2N VoiceBlue Max, 2N BRI Lite/Enterprise or 2N StarGate and 2N BlueTower as the configuration is basically the same) together with 2N IP intercoms and 2N Access Unit for the school scenario. You can configure the intercom to send SMS message through the gateway as a confirmation that a student has arrived to school. Once student will swipe the card to open the door, SMS to a parent cellphone is sent. Below you can find a step by step configuration for both devices. FW version of 2N IP Intercom has to be v2.16 or higher and for 2N VoiceBlue Next has to be at least v1.26.3. Please keep in mind that even when you have multiple entrances with intercoms, you still need only one gateway!            How to configure 2N VoiceBlue Next  Note: As the very first step please make sure that the license for Email2SMS feature is uploaded into your 2N VoiceBlue Next gateway. This license is sold as a package for 10 users (you can buy licence for 10, 20, 30, etc. users) and you can have up to 200 licensed users in the gateway. If you want to verify whether you have the correct license uploaded in your gateway, go to section "Management -> License key". You should see the licenses called SMSE and SMSUx and in the "Active" row. SMSE indicates that Email2SMS function is enabled and SMSUx indicates number of licensed users where x stands for this number (see the picture below). If there's not a license for Email2SMS (SMSE) then you won't see the "Messaging" on the top menu. For each intercom you need one Email2SMS licence in the gateway!    Configuration steps  Modules grouping In the first step go to section "Messaging –> Modules grouping" and enable SMS server – check the appropriate check-box. Next add GSM modules to SMS groups in order to facilitate incoming/outgoing SMS routing. It can be done based on your requirements e.g. according to the GSM provider, etc. The last step in this section is to assign SMS groups created in the previous step to the User groups if you want to use messaging with different routing rules. The GSM gateway can contain up to 4 User groups and up to 4 SMS groups.      Add User As a next step you need to skip to the section "Messaging –> Users", click on the "Add" button and create new SMS user(s) who will send and receive SMS messages. There are several parameters in this section which have to be set. You need to select the communication protocol for SMS processing (SMTP/POP3) and assign the user to User group. Also do not forget to define the Login name (without domain) and Password to log into the SMS server via your e–mail client. You can see all parameters from this section in the picture below where was created user "Helios IP" with the login "SMS" and password "Helios". Once you fill in all parameters, click on the "OK" button. The user will be added and after that you have to make one more click to the "Save settings" button in the bottom right corner of the page (blue circle label in the picture).    General settings Set the parameters of domain in the "Messaging –> User Group –> General settings" sub-menu. The domain is automatically assigned to the user´s login in the selected User group and it represents the user´s e–mail address. In this section you can also define some parameters for POP3 and SMTP such as subject of email, maximum SMS per email, next you can add “From” field as well as “Subject” to SMS (see the picture below). In our example (in the previous step) a new user was created with login name "SMS". In this section we will set domain as: gateway.com. Then the e-mail address of the user with rights to access the SMS server will be SMS@gateway.com. The “@” character is completed automatically and it is not included in the domain´s field.    Outgoing SMS routing As a last step you need to specify routing rules for outgoing SMS – it is done in the "Messaging –> User Group –> Outgoing SMS routing" menu where you click on the "Add" button. In this section you will specify mainly these parameters:  Message to SMS group – the SMS group via which the outgoing SMS will be routed  Action type – define how to process outgoing SMS. You can choose from two options: Submit from user (SMS can be sent only from selected users) or Submit from all users (enable sending SMS from all the SMS group users).  Submit from user – choose a user who can send SMS (this is used only if "Submit from user" was selected)  Time limitation - here you can set time limitation for when is the routing active. So for instance you can set this only for morning, when students are arriving to school.  Day limitation - choose days when the routing will be active. For instance only business days when school is opened.  Note: do not forget to enable the SMS server as shown in the first step (there is a check-box)! In the picture below there is shown settings for User Group 1. Messages (emails) from all users in this User group are routed via SMS group 1. It means that these emails will be transferred to SMS and sent only via GSM modules assigned to SMS group 1. It is GSM module 2 in our example (as you can see in the picture from step 1).      How to configure 2N IP intercoms Note: Please keep in mind that Enhanced integration (up to v2.35) or Gold (v2.35 onwards) license is needed in order to use email features!  Configuration steps  Add user firmware v2.24.0 and later:Go to section "Directory->Users" choose a user or create a new one. Fill "Name" (use name of the student, it will be used in the SMS), "E-mail" (email has to be in format phone_number@domain, so in our case 721642053@gateway.com for instance, number is phone number of the parents cell phone), "Card ID" (fill ID of the students card or fob).      SMTP configuration Go to section "Services->E-mail->SMTP" and check "SMTP E-Mail Service Enabled". Then fill "Server Address" (IP address of the gateway) if you did not change port in the gateway, then leave it as it is - port 25. Then fill "Username" and "Password", use credentials you used for user you created in the gateway, in case of Username you have to use domain as well. So credentials for this example are SMS@gateway.com/Helios. In the last step fill some email to field "From Address". As you are sending SMS messages in this scenario, it does not matter what you will fill there, you can even fill there address you made up, however this field is mandatory and has to be filled.    SMS configuration Go to section "Services->E-Mail->E-Mail on Access".  Fill administrator e-mail address in the section Send to E-mail Address. In this section set "All Accesses" for "Send E-Mail At". To the field "Body" fill the message you want to send when student arrives to school. You can see example in picture below, we used variables $User$ (this variable will be substituted by name of the student who used the card) and $DateTime$ (this variable will add current time and date to the message). Please find list of available variables below:  $User$ - Called username  $DateTime$ - Current date and time  $AuthId$ - User authentication ID  $DeviceName$ - Intercom identification  Last thing you have to do in this section is uncheck "Attach Snapshot".  If you will swipe valid card now, 2N IP Intercom will send and email to the gateway and it will send SMS message to the predefined cell phone.   Set time on 2N IP intercom Go to section "System->Date & Time", pick the right "Time Zone" and if possible, you can synchronise the intercom with NTP server. If NTP server is not available, then you can synchronise the intercom with your browser by clicking on "Synchronise with browser".     Switch configuration You also need to configure the intercom to open the door once the student swipes a card or fob. Go to section "Hardware->Extenders", find your card reader and again choose on of the switches for "Associated Switch".     Once you will set appropriate switch to be controlled by the card reader, then you can configure the switch itself. Go to section "Hardware->Switches" and pick Switch you choose before. If switch is not enabled, then do so by checking "Switch Enabled". There are three the most important settings for the switch. By "Switch-On Duration" you can define for how long the switch will be activated. "Controlled output" define which physical output will be controlled by the switch, you can choose from available relays or active 12V output. By "Output Type" you can define whether you are using normal locks (Normal) or inverted locks (Inverted).

2N VoiceBlue Next - How to configure it with Auerswald PBX?

Accepted Answer

Following FAQ page describes how a 2N VoiceBlue Next can be connected to Auerswald PBX using SIP trunk.  Parameters of 2N VoiceBlue Next:  Example IP address 192.168.1.2  Incoming port: 5080  Firmware: 1.25.0.28.4   Auerswald equipment parameters:  COMpact VoIP 5010, COMpact VoIP 5020, COMmander Basic.2 and COMmander Basic  Example IP address: 192.168.1.3  version: 4.2F Build 000     How to set 2N VoiceBlue Next? After having logged on to the 2N VoiceBlue Next, navigate to “Gateway configuration” on the menu tree in the left column, then choose “VoIP parameters”. Set following parameters:  Use CLIP from INVITE field: to value "From"  Use DIAL from INVITE field: to value “To”  Send 200 OK on REGISTER request: to enabled  Replace CLIP from GSM with Caller ID: to enabled  Above is important because otherwise the Auerswald PBX won’t register to the 2N VoiceBlue Next or incoming GSM calls won’t be displayed correctly on the phones’ displays. Please see image below:  Next, please scroll down in “VoIP parameters” until and set “Codec priority” . Please make sure here that G711a(8) is chosen as priority 1, then G711u(0) followed by G729(18). Further down under “IP addresses” fill in connection details to your Auerwald PBX. Enter the IP address of the PBX in the following fields (lets assume IP address of Auerswald PBX is for example 192.168.1.3):  SIP proxy (IP->GSM)  SIP proxy (GSM->IP)  Note: You can also set the SIP port. Remember that Auerswald already uses port 5060 for internal calls so you need to choose different one, for example 5080 w To make sure that no other equipment can access the 2N® VoiceBlue Next check the box “no reply on other IP addresses’ requests:”. Leave the rest unmodified. Click on the save button (button right, the icon with the paper sheet and the pen).      How to set Auerswald PBX?  Login as administrator to your Auerswald PBX (regular username is “admin“).  Then please find the sub-menu “Voice over IP (VoIP)” in the menu “COMset” -> “External numbers”.  Click on “Provider”. In an empty field of the column named “Provider name” on the right half of the screen enter a name for your 2N GSM gateway, e.g. “2N”. Then click on the disk symbol on the left side to save that entry.  After this click on the “Configure” button in the right column. Your screen should look like this:    Once you clicked on “Configure” you will see following page:    Please fill out the fields “Domain”, “Outbound proxy”, “SIP port (1...65535)”, and “Codec settings” as illustrated in the screenshot above.  In the field “Domain” you enter the IP address of your 2N VoiceBlue Next GSM gateway. The factory settings are “192.168.1.2” but if you changed it in the configuration page of the 2N VoiceBlue Next, make sure to enter the correct IP address here accordingly. In the field “Outbound proxy” you choose “manually” and enter the same IP address as in the “Domain” field, it’s the IP address of the 2N VoiceBlue Next in your network. In the field “Port” you enter the SIP port number that you have entered / will enter in the configuration pages of the 2N VoiceBlue Next. Usually that is 5060, but please keep in mind that the Auerswald PBXs use this SIP port exclusively for their extension lines (the internal parties) and that there was no option in former firmware versions to change it. Therefore, in this example, we changed the SIP port to 5080. You can take whatever you like, but make sure to have the same port open on your 2N VoiceBlue Next and that it is different than the port used for the internal calls (PBX’s extensions). “Codec settings”: Make sure only to choose “G.711” as priority number 1 and to leave the other entries blank. Otherwise you will receive a SIP response 415 (Unsupported Media Type) when you make outgoing GSM calls from your PBX via your 2N VoiceBlue Next.  Go to the field “Format of called telephone number” and set it to “send as dialled”. “Format of own telephone number” should be set to “Only MSN or main number and DDI”.“Type of number presentation” should be set to “In the display text”. Choose “Anonymous” for “Method of number presentation suppression”.Check the box named “Trust transferred telephone number” and uncheck the one named “Internationalise unknown telephone numbers”.  After having set everything click on “Action Accept” to save your settings.   Click on “Accounts” on the menu tree on the left side. It’s right below “Provider”. You will see similar page to following picture:     Make sure that you choose “PTMP connection” (point to multi-point) for the provider “2N”, that means for your 2N VoiceBlue Next and give the account a name by entering this in the field “Account name”, e.g. “GSM Gateway”. Save this setting by clicking on the disc symbol in the left column.  Click on “Configure”. You will see a page similar to picture below:      Enter MSNs (multiple subscriber numbers) that will be used by the 2N VoiceBlue Next to assign calls to certain extensions lines in your PBX.You can enter whatever you like here. In this case we chose “1111” to “4444” for the 4 SIM card modules of the 2N VoiceBlue Next with 1111 being the number called by 2N VoiceBlue Next if there is an incoming GSM call on the first SIM module etc.  Give a name to the MSNs to identify them easily, e.g. “GSM GW (SIM 1)” to “GSM GW (SIM 4)”. Leave “Ringer rhythm” on “1 x long”.It is very important to set the fields above with country code and area code to make sure that outgoing calls are dialled correctly and incoming calls are displayed correctly.So enter your country code the way it is dialled in your country in the field “Country prefix” (in this case we have Germany’s country code “0049”) and in the field “Area code” enter your area code numberthe way you would usually dial it (in this example the number is “05306”, the area code of the city of Cremlingen in Germany).You will also need to enter a number to identify this VoIP line within your PBX. This is an internal number used to choose this VoIP line specifically and make external calls with it. Enter whatever you like here that fits the internal numbering scheme of your PBX.In our example the number is 1501.  The fields “User name” and “Password” are mandatory. You have to enter something here. It is not important what you enter as the 2N VoiceBlue Next will accept any user name and password and acknowledge it with a “200 OK” on registration.  Make sure you click on “Action -> Accept -> Execute” to save your entries!  Next you click on “Call distribution” in the menu tree on the left. It’s below “Accounts” and “Telephone numbers”Here you will find your MSNs that you entered before to identify the SIM modules 1 to 4 of 2N VoiceBlue Next (in our case that was 1111, 2222, 3333, and 4444). HHere you can assign extension numbers, internal numbers, team numbers etc. to these MSNs so that certain internal phones will ring once there is an incoming GSM call from 2N VoiceBlue Next.After having assigned your internal numbers to the MSNs make sure you click on “Action -> Accept –> Execute” to save your setting.      Choose “Routing” and then “VoIP and GSM Routing” from the menu tree in the left column.This is where you can set the PBX’s least cost routing functionality.Please enter the code numbers of the cell phone networks in your country (in this case we see the first three digits of the code numbers of the German cellular network operator, 015, 016, and 017) and choose the VoIP trunk line that we set up earlier named “GSM Gateway”.In case the 2N VoiceBlue Next should not be reachable due to any reason you can set fallback lines here, too. In this case ISDN lines have been chosen as fallbacks under the columns named “2nd dialling” and “3rd dialling”.      Finally make sure that the IP address of 2N VoiceBlue Next is listed in the white list of the PBX.Otherwise, if the registration fail, the PBX might add 2N VoiceBlue Next to the blacklist and then there will be no more connection to 2N VoiceBlue Next possible.      Please also make sure that the internal parties are allowed to access the VoIP trunk to the 2N VoiceBlue Next.You can set this feature up in the menu tree on the left: COMset -> Internal numbers -> Subscriber (scr) -> Properties -> Exchange line settings + subscriber selection in the list field at the top.

Question 42

2N VoiceBlue Next - How to set? (version 1.19 and lower)

Accepted Answer

2N VoiceBlue Next is designed to reduce the costs of outgoing calls to GSM networks. The main advantage is the ability to expand the IP PBX to include a GSM gateway and make use of a LCR which selects the best GSM operator depending on the called number.   How to connect 2N VoiceBlue Next  Connect the 2N VoiceBlue Next via Ethernet cable directly to the computer. Change the IP address setting in the configuration of your PC (e.g. 192.168.1.33 and Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0)  Open your web browser and enter the default IP address of GSM gateway 192.168.1.2 with the default credentials (Admin/2n). If web page does not appear, make a factory reset of gateway with RESET button on front panel. Press it for 10 seconds. After this time gateway restarts and you can reload the page.  In the gateway configuration and Ethernet configuration you are able to change the IP address.    How to set up connection to the opposite device (PBX)  For the setting of the trunk between the 2N VoiceBlue Next and your PBX you need to configure SIP proxy (GSM→IP) for GSM incoming calls. SIP proxy (IP→GSM) is designed for secure communication just with traffic from your PBX. You can specify the IP address and port which will accept SIP packets from.  In case you leave there 0.0.0.0 in SIP proxy(IP->GSM) gateway will be open for traffic from all IPs. !!! This can lead to misuse of the equipment by an unauthorized person !!!!    How to configure LCR table Situation...  Let's say we have SIM cards of two GSM operators:  T-Mobile: Using the following prefixes (602, 606, 607, 723, 724) and it requires that you dial the number from your mobile phone with the international prefix (+420). All numbers have a nine digit length with the operator prefix but without the international prefix.  Vodafone: Using the following prefixes (901, 902, 907, 909) and requires you to dial the number with the prefix (+420). All numbers have a nine digit length with the operator prefix and without "+420".   First we have to assign modules to two GSM outgoing groups (for each operator).The first step which we have to do is to place the SIM cards into the SIM holders. We will start with modules 0 using the T-mobile operator SIM. Module 2 will follow the same procedure but using the Vodafone SIM.   Configuration of GSM outgoing groupsYou are able to set up different setting for each GSM group (CLIR, free minutes, Virtual ring tone, roaming and others).  Prefix listsWe have to create two network lists, the first one for T-mobile and the second one for Vodafone.  T-mobile network list:We configure the normalization of Called party number in the Table of replaced prefixes (the number in front of the slash mark is replaced by number behind the slash mark. If there is not any number in front of the slash mark, it equals to "everything").We also have to fill in the Table of prefixes with all prefixes of the T-mobile operator. Because all numbers are 9 digits length, it is not necessary to specify it for each prefix, we can use the parameter Default count of digits and fill there the value 9.For the match in prefix list, the Table of replaced prefixes, Table of accepted prefixes and Digits count must correspond with the called number.  Vodafone network list:We configure the normalization of Called party number in the Table of replaced prefixes (the number in front of the slash mark is replaced by number behind the slash mark. If there is not any number in front of the slash mark, it equals to "everything"). We also have to fill in the Table of prefixes with all prefixes of the Vodafone operator. Because all numbers are 9 digits length, it is not necessary to specify it for each prefix, we can use the parameter Default count of digits and fill there the value 9.   LCR TableWe have to configure rows in the LCR table where we bind together GSM Outgoing groups with Prefix lists. Click on ADD button (or edit the first line of LCR table) to add the first line and configure it the following way for the T-mobile: Click on ADD button to add the second line and configure it for the Vodafone.Now you can see two LCR lines in the LCR table:    Incoming calls  For incoming calls you can define 2 groups with the different behavior and assign them to the GSM modules. The settings are similar with GSM groups assignment for outgoing calls.  In GSM incoming groups you can define the behavior for each GSM incoming group. Choose the mode to Reject, Ignore, Accept incoming calls or Callback.  With mode Accept..., you can define the list of called numbers which will be automatically dialed after DTMF dialing timeout in case the customer does not press any button within the specified time. From the configuration, you can see 5 seconds for DTMF dialing and after that the call will be routed to the extension 100 in your PBX (if you set up SIP proxy (GSM->IP) in VoIP parameters). If you want immediate connection set DTMF dialing timeout to 0.    SIM cards  In the Gateway control and module control you can see the status of the SIMs. The recommendation for quality of the signal is between -65 and -85dBm.  The logged SIM card is indicated by switched off the led diode on the 2N VoiceBlue Next

Question 56

Asterisk - How to interconnect with Asterisk?

Accepted Answer

2N VoiceBlue Next has these parameters:  IP address 10.0.0.20  Incoming port: 5060   Asterisk parameters:  IP address 10.0.0.10  Incoming port: 5060    Scenario  If we have an IP network in which Asterisk PBX, several SIP phones and 2N VoiceBlue Next are connected, the configuration would be as shown in the figure below. Furthermore, suppose that the network is addressed as shown in the figure and GSM numbers are all numbers starting with 6, 7 and containing 9 digits.     2N VoiceBlue Next settings  SIP trunk interconnection For the setting of the trunk between the 2N VoiceBlue Next and your Asterisk PBX, you need to configure "SIP proxy (GSM→IP)" for GSM incoming calls. "SIP proxy (IP→GSM)" is designed only for secure communication with the traffic from your Asterisk. You can specify the IP address and port where the IP packets will be accepted. If you leave there "0.0.0.0", the traffic will be unsecured. To enable incoming calls to Asterisk, you can register the 2N VoiceBlue Next directly into the Asterisk system. You can register it as "Friend" types in case you require registration based on username and password or "peer" type (on based of IP address and port). SIP registrar...an Asterisk IP address which registers the gateway Registration domain - IP address where the gateway is going to be registered Username...username under which the gateway shall be registered Password...registration password    Configuration of the LCR (Least Cost Routing) You have to specify prefixes for the operators in the country you are currently located. An example of this would be that in Czech Republic prefix 6 and 7 have a 9 digits number. The setting is displayed below.  You need to create specific guidelines connecting prefixes with the GSM group. In the "GSM group" you will specify settings for SIM cards assigned to this specific group. In the "GSM group assignment" you can assign the module for the appropriate GSM outgoing group.    Configuration of GSM outgoing groups You are able to have different setting for each GSM group (CLIR, free minutes, virtual ring tone, roaming and others)   Incoming calls For incoming calls you can define 2 groups with the different behaviours and assign them to the GSM modules. The settings are similar with "GSM groups assignment" for outgoing calls.  In GSM incoming groups you can specify the traits for each GSM incoming group. Choose the mode to Reject, Ignore, Accept incoming calls or Callback.  You can define the list of numbers called. The number will be automatically dialled after the DTMF dialling has timed out. This happens when the customer does not press any button until the specific time. At this point, the number will be routed to the extension 100 to your Asterisk (if you set up SIP proxy (GSM->IP) in VoIP parameters).     Asterisk settings  Now add a few lines into the Asterisk configuration for proper routing of outgoing calls to the 2N VoiceBlue Next gateway and receiving calls coming from the GSM gateway to Asterisk.   Outgoing calls The core of Asterisk connection is saved in the /etc/asterisk/extensions.conf file. Open this file in your favorite editor and add the following lines: exten=>_6XXXXXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:0}@10.0.0.20,,r) exten=>_7XXXXXXXX,1,Dial(SIP/${EXTEN:0}@10.0.0.20,,r) Once you have saved and closed the file, restart Asterisk. From this point forward, all calls starting with 6 and 7 should be routed to the 2N VoiceBlue Next gateway.  Incoming calls It is highly recommended to make few restrictions for incoming calls in order to prevent unauthorised people from calling over your system. Since the 2N VoiceBlue Next system works with the SIP, modify the /etc/asterisk/sip.conf file where the 2N VoiceBlue Next section could look as follows: [general] port = 5060 bindaddr = 0.0.0.0 allowgues=no context = sip disallow=all allow=ulaw [VoiceBlueNext] type=peer host=10.0.0.20 username=voiceblue secret=password fromdomain=10.0.0.20 Furthermore restart the Asterisk after saving the file. Then the Asterisk will be ready to receive calls coming from the 2N VoiceBlue Next gateway.

Question 58

Audio-relay card - How to set up jumpers on NetStar

Accepted Answer

Please check HW manual –  pages 25-26.

Question 59

Audio - What can I do when call is connected but I can't hear any voice? (RTP packets are empty)

Accepted Answer

In this case please check a gain of your DSP processor. You can do it by AT command  at&v0  . In the response of this AT command you can see parameter  g01  which should have value 2,32,32. In case that you see value 2,0,0 you have to use  at%g01=2,32,32  to set this parametr properly. This applies only for firmware 2.07.35b02 and lower.

Question 60

Audio - What should I do if I can't hear ringback tone?

Accepted Answer

Please go to GSM Outgoing groups and set "Delay for CONNECT" = 0   and "Delay for ALERTING"=4   in all groups.   If you want to hear the tone and voice messages (like "We are sorry, the called party is not available.") from GSM network then verify that "Send 180 Ringing instead of 183 Session Progress" is disabled in VoIP parameters and that "Generate virtual tone" is disabled in GSM outgoing groups.   If you want to overwrite tones and voice messages coming from GSM network with generated tone by gateway then set appropriate "Ring tone" in GSM Basic Parameters and select "Generate virtual tone" in GSM Outgoing groups. Verify that "Send 180 Ringing instead of 183 Session Progress" is disabled in VoIP parameters.   If you want to overwrite tones and voice messages from GSM network by ring-back tone from IP PBX/IP Phones then enable "Send 180 Ringing instead of 183 Session Progress" in VoIP parameters.

Question 61

Audio - What to check if I have voice quality issue?

Accepted Answer

You need to check following points:  Signal quality – The quality of the signal must be in the range -65dBm and -85dBm in the module without call activity. You can check the quality of the signal in the configuration of the 2N VoiceBlue Next (Gateway control –> Module control) or by using the command at&qall from the hyperterminal or putty.  A Switch setting – Check, if the port is in the mode of FULL DUPLEX. Half duplex doesn't make sense for UDP RTP packet. In case there is just one call via this port, the quality can be satisfactory, but with more call traffic the issue with voice quality is present.  The best tool how to check if it´s caused by defective 2N VoiceBlue Next or other things is to connect the 2N VoiceBlue Next to the PC and make a direct SIP call from software phone as SJ phone. Use the called number in this format: sip:phonenumber@ipaddressofVoiceBlueNext

Question 62

Audio - What to check if You can't hear the ring-back tone?

Accepted Answer

Please check that you have latest firmware version (download section) and following settings:  Delay for ALERTING in GSM outgoing groups is set on 1 and higher  If you enable Virtual Ring Tone in GSM outgoing groups you must set Ring Tone in GSM basic parameters so gateway knows the tone to generate. Be aware that this setting overrides Ring tone (which can also contain e.g. the information that the calling party is not reachable, notice about transferred number, ringing tone etc.) and replaces it by the virtually generated ringing tone.

The best tool how to check if it is caused by defective 2N VoiceBlue Next or another things is to connect the 2N VoiceBlue Next to the PC and make a direct SIP call from software phone as SJ phone. Use the called number in this format: sip:phonenumber@ipaddressofVoiceBlueNext.

AutoCLIP routing - How to set AutoCLIP routing?

Accepted Answer

What is AutoCLIP?  The GSM gateway automatically stores information about outgoing calls to the AutoCLIP routing table. When a person calls back the call is routed directly to the original number. If original number is not available the call is routed to the next number set up in the configuration (e.g. receptionist).    How to set in 2N VoiceBlue Next?  Parameters need to be set are in field Others   Time to keep CLIP in table - set the time duration for which records are to be kept in the AutoCLIP routing table.  Add record only for unconnected call - only unconnected outgoing calls (missed calls on a mobile phone) are stored in the AutoCLIP table.  Delete record for connected answer - if the call back is answered, the record in the AutoCLIP table will be deleted.
