ATEUS ® - BLUESTAR
ATEUS ® - BLUESTAR is a compact yet highly sophisticated system. It supports full
remote supervision and configuration via an IP network, or using an external modem over a
BRI-ISDN and analog line, or over a B channel in a PRI-ISDN trunk. The system has been
designed and works with a lot of highly sophisticated functions, which make it fully client-
oriented and highly reliable in cooperation with both GSM networks and ISDN. In addition, it
provides full monitoring and comfortable configuration without functional limitations.
Configuration alterations can be made without resetting, i.e. under full operation. Hot-swappable
plug-in GSM boards, which can be swapped under full operation including SIM cards, are a
matter of course. The use of up to four SIM cards per GSM module in combination with an
intelligent SIM card switching tool and detailed statistics upgrade this system into a powerful
LCR tool. A high product stability is achieved by the fact that the gateway is programmed in the
ASM, i.e. OS-FREE system. Two independent 30MHz Philips microprocessors provide an error-
free operation, high speed, automatic fault detection, and easy upgrade. The system also
features easy installation, simple operation and easy replacement of defective parts - it is
composed of plug-in boards that communicate along system buses independently. As already
mentioned, the system allows for an easy detection of defective parts, automatic locking against
use and easy replacement (hot-swap). Thanks to the above mentioned properties, the system
can be installed and configured successfully within one hour!

1. ATEUS ® - BLUESTAR Description - General Design
1.1. 19” Subrack
1.1.1. Basic Dimensions
The system is integrated in a 19’’ subrack of the height of 3U and depth of 360mm. The
front side is open, equipped with guides for plug-in boards with front panels – the panel
including a mains switch is part of the subrack. In case not all GSM boards are plugged in, the
free section of the front side must be covered with a fixed panel (fixed panels).
The back side is completely covered with a panel with a built-in ventilator, which is
switched by a thermostat for higher reliability and longer life. An AC mains supply unit is located
in front of the ventilator. The bottom and upper sides are covered with perforated sheet, the
assembly flanges are provided with handrails.
The system bus is designed as a printed circuit board (PCB) with DIN connectors and
fitted to the inner subrack carrier profiles.
1.1.2. Front Side Division
The subrack width is divided into an 8HP-wide mains panel and 19 4HP-wide modules in
the following sequence (from right to left):
• 8HP fixed panel with a mains switch, fuse and mains cable socket;
• 4HP CPU board (must be included in any case);
• 4HP AUX board (must be included in any case);
• 4HP PRI boards (must be included in any case);
• 32HP GSM boards, i.e. 8 times 4HP (1 to 8 boards may be included).
• 32HP Antenna splitter (optional)
1.2. Available Software for BLUESTAR
BLUESTAR program - tool to configure and control BLUESTAR
Accounter - tool for automatic download of cdr info via IP connection
CDR converter - utility for cdr information conversion from text format into CSV format
SIM SN reader - utility for reading of IMSI, SDID numbers of active SIM cards
1.3. Power Supply
1.3.1. Description
The system uses an industrial mains supply unit with primary (input) voltage of 100-
240VAC 50/60Hz and secondary (output) voltage of 5V/30A with natural cooling and an
auxiliary external ventilator, which is switched on automatically whenever the power supply
temperature exceeds 70°C. The supply is designed with a 30% reserve even under the
maximum load.

2. ATEUS ® - BLUESTAR Description – Main Features
Quick unit start – being free of an operating system (programmed in the processor code),
the system is completely ready to work within 30 seconds following its power on/restarting. Of
course, the full function time of all GSM modules depends on the actual load and capacity of
GSM networks to which the ATEUS - BLUESTAR is connected.
Intelligent call processing – the ATEUS - BLUESTAR is fully prepared to route PRI-
ISDN outgoing calls into GSM networks or back to second PRI ISDN interface and vice versa. A
fully intelligent LCR (Least Cost Routing) function is the basic tool, allowing to route outgoing
ISDN calls to GSM networks (or ISDN network) both by the called number prefix, and current
date and time and GSM module load in the particular group (LCR function is only on PRI 1 port,
all calls to PRI 2 port will be directly rerouted to PRI 1 interface). Functions taken over from
dialers, which enable to replace a part or whole of the dialed number with another number, are
a matter of course. Calls incoming from GSM networks can be ignored (the calling party hears
the ringing tone), fully rejected (the calling party gets the busy tone/voice message), or
received. In the last-named case, the DTMF dialing in combination with voice messages, or
direct connection to the operator(s) can be selected (calls can be routed only to PRI 1 port).
Using the ATEUS - RCU (see later), or XAPI with NQuire support, you can get a highly powerful
routing tool, which contains so-called blacklist charts – barred numbers - and practically
unlimited routing charts. This combination is extremely useful for installation sites with the so-
called full telephone number carryover where a plenty of numbers come into being whose
prefixes do not match the official prefixes of providers.

Selection of GSM module use – the ATEUS - BLUESTAR allows you to select one of
three available ways of GSM module occupation: 1. Any outgoing call is set up via a GSM
module according to the B channel used. This option helps transfer routing functions to a
connected PBX router. 2. This mode allows to occupy GSM modules in groups cyclically, and 3.
the last option helps select GSM modules in a group according to the number of minutes called
(the counting mode can be predefined of course).
GSM-network friendly – the ATEUS - BLUESTAR allows to activate the automatic GSM
module log-out in certain time intervals. Using this function you can log out and disable
automatically unused GSM modules at defined time intervals. Since the time between the GSM
module activation and readiness for work is roughly 10-25 seconds, a user-defined hot reserve
is maintained, i.e. some GSM modules keep logged in. This means that any increase in the
ATEUS – BLUESTAR load result in an automatic activation of other GSM modules so that the
hot reserve be maintained. This feature also reduces the capacity of the GSM network to detect
a unit and disconnect it from the mains.
High connection rate – since GSM networks are not quite reliable and show lack of
capacity occasionally, the ATEUS - BLUESTAR is equipped with the automatic call forwarding
to other GSM networks or call rejection (without call loss). This function uses the ISDN signaling
protocol where a call SETUP message is sent to the ATEUS - BLUESTAR first. This message
contains the called number and CLIP if necessary. Having received this message, the ATEUS –
BLUESTAR can either: reject the call (the other party will route it to another device),
REJECT message including reasoning (CAUSE),
or receive and connect the call – SETUP.ACK message.
The device on the other side awaits one of the above mentioned responses for 2 seconds.
During this time, the ATEUS – BLUESTAR has to decide whether it is able to set up the call,
tries to find a free GSM module and establish connection. If the selected GSM module is busy, it
must find other free GSM modules. If it fails to find a free route, it rejects the call request. The
CAUSE number is user-defined. If it succeeds, it receives and sets up the call.
Detailed statistics – provides a detailed overview of the count of incoming and outgoing
calls and their successful connections. The statistic data can be displayed either globally for the
whole ATEUS - BLUESTAR, or for the selected GSM provider, or the selected GSM module
(SIM card). These data are generated automatically.
Detailed call information – the ATEUS – BLUESTAR can save information on completed
calls automatically (CDR). Call information includes:
call beginning date and time
call type
I-FD : Not connected incoming call
I-OK : Successfully connected incoming call
O-FD : Unsuccessful outgoing call
O-OK : Successfully connected outgoing call
Relation end reasoning (CAUSE) sent to ISDN interface

High number of connected calls – owing to a very short GSM call connecting (routing)
time and intelligent call rerouting in the event of failure, the ATEUS - BLUESTAR features high
call time per month (traffic volume of over 250,000 minutes/month). The connectivity depends
on the ATEUS - BLUESTAR configuration and GSM network capacity of course.
SMS receive/send support – the ATEUS - BLUESTAR helps send and receive SMS in
the PDU format. An intelligent SMS sending over a selected GSM network or module and
automatic announcement of incoming SMS are a matter of course. With the RCU it is possible
to send ATEUS – BLUESTAR status info SMS.
Up to 8 GSM groups – you can define up to 8 independent SIM card groups in the
system. For example, one GSM group can contain one provider‘s SIM cards.
Up to 16 GSM modules – the ATEUS - BLUESTAR is a modular system where 1 to 8
GSM boards with two GSM modules each can be installed. The GSM boards are hot-
swappable, i.e. can be replaced easily during operation.
Up to 64 SIM cards – each GSM board contains 8 SIM card holders. However, two SIM
cards are only connected to the GSM modules at one moment. An intelligent SIM card switching
according to time, at random intervals, according to completed minutes or sent SMS enables a
client-oriented approach. A defective SIM card blocking is a matter of course.
Triband – GSM boards are currently available with GSM modules from Siemens MC45i
modules are suitable for 900MHz, 1800MHz and 1900MHz GSM networks.
One antenna per system only – One receive/transmission antennas can be used in
combination with an antenna splitter (see below) for all of up to 16 GSM modules.
Hot-swappable boards – as mentioned above, all GSM boards are hot-swappable. As a
matter of course, the access to the GSM board can be restricted upon the user‘s request. This
solution provides an easy SIM card replacement during operation.
Support of external Callback – ATEUS – BLUESTAR supports to make call to GSM and
after connection make call to PRI interface and connect both calls. This feature can be
controlled by AT command or XAPI server SW (easy to implement it to some additional callback
SW)
2x PRI ISDN interface – is configurable in all available modes, i.e. as Network
Termination (NT), or Terminal Equipment (TE). It can also be set as a Master (synchronization
clock) or a Slave. Using PRI board switches you can easily select RX and TX directions –
hence, you can use a cross-over or not-cross-over cable for the ATEUS - BLUESTAR <> PBX
(Switch) connection.
Easy control and configuration – The ATEUS - BLUESTAR can be configured locally or
remotely. To do this, you can employ the following types of connection:
• 2 local RS232 interfaces;

9
• remote control by an analog or ISDN modem connected to a defined RS232
interface. Automatic ATEUS - BLUESTAR detection and configuration capacities
make the modem perfectly available.
• remotely via a 10baseT IP interface, using a simple Telnet protocol;
• remotely by the ATEUS - RCU* via a 10/100baseT using SSH, SNMP, HTTP,
HTTPS protocols;
• remotely by the in-band B channel in the PRI-ISDN interface**.
No SW is necessary for configuration - the ATEUS - BLUESTAR communicates through
an RS232 interface and Telnet protocol using standard AT commands. However, high-quality
software running under the Windows OS has been designed for user-friendly control and
configuration.
Fault diagnostics is very simple too – the ATEUS - BLUESTAR informs of a fault both
visually (by LEDs) and via any interface. A direct display of all processes on ISDN or IP layers is
a matter of course too.
Quality control – you can check the quality of ATEUS - BLUESTAR calls any time by test
calls (an analog headset connector is available for test calling into GSM networks or ISDN
interface) or by-hearing of one of the two current call directions.
Quick and easy update – since the ATEUS - BLUESTAR is not bound to any operating
system, any firmware updating is quick and comfortable and is made by the available software.
Updating can be performed locally or remotely and the process is protected against
unintentional disconnection. The updating process takes a few minutes and the existing
configuration is retained.

In case that BLUESTAR is switched of or has some SW problem (uploading firmware), switches on PRI
board automaticly disconnect BLUESTAR and direct connection between switch and PSTN network.
* port mode (NT, TE) and Synchronization (MASTER, SLAVE) must be different on the switch than on the
BLUESTAR! TEI management number must be same on both equipment units!

3.4. GSM Board
3.4.1. Board Description
• In BLUESTAR you can use three types of GSM boards (with various GSM modules):
- GSM board with two modules Siemens TC35 and eight SIM holders.
The GSM board contains two GSM modules, circuits for their connection to the PCM bus,
and DTMF receivers. The board is designed on a 4-layer PCB of the size of 160x100mm. Pins 1
and 32 are approximately 1 mm longer in the GSM board system connector and are used for
“hot swap” power feeding, allowing to push the board in and out even during operation. This
feature is handy especially for installation or SIM card replacement. Two FME antenna
connectors (for GSM boards with modules GM22) or two SMA antenna connectors (for GSM
boards with modules TC35 and GM47(8)) and 5 board status indicators are located on the front
panel.
Possible statuses of indication LED diodes (units with firmware 02.09.xx and higher):
PWR LED Indicates board supply
Lights on Switched on
Lights off Switched off
Blinking Board in sleep mode
INIT LED Indicates board initialization or error status
Blinking Indicates the initialization of the desk
Lights on (still) Board initialization failure
SLP LED Both GSM modules are manually switched off
GSM1 LED indicates GSM 1 module status
GSM2 LED indicates GSM 2 module status
Lights on Proceeding call
Lights off Unused GSM module
Blinking slowly Module is terminating of call (2 seconds)
Blinking quickly Log in GSM network / initialization of SIM card
GSM1 LED indicates GSM 1 module status
GSM2 LED indicates GSM 2 module status
Lights on GSM module is blocked or initializing
Blinking quickly GSM module is powered off
