Basic features:
Blue gate compact dual band is GSM Gate based on
Siemens GSM module TC 35 equipped by a lot of adjustable
features increased comfort of service.It is solved by modularity
system enables extending of gate features ( CLIP + 16/12kHz
charge pulses, Module for connection to extension, FAX
module etc..). It has been designed for GSM network 900 MHz
as same as 1800 MHz.
When you connect Blue Gate dual band to your PBX:
- All extensions is calling over GSM network
-All extensions is receiving incoming calls from GSM network
-All extensions is calling cheaper long distance or international
calls (GSM-GSM)
-You enable to your partners call to your company cheaper
(GSM-GSM!) even with DISA using!;
-You extend number of external lines
-You can substitute public lines by GSM lines in situation where
public lines are unreachable
-You can you advantages of GSM operators for international calls
-Integrated serial port RS 232 with can be shipped with SMS mail
software enables sending as same as receiving SMS messages
as e mails under your outlook. Further provides connection to
internet, faxing from your PC etc..
Thanks of many Blue Gate features you can satisfy very wide group
of customers. By setting of permitted numbers to memory of Blue
Gate you can restrict unrequested calls (to public numbers).As same
as you can set Blue Gate to provided only incoming calls.

By pressing of yellow button remove the SIM card keeper.
Insert the SIM card and replace the SIM card keeper. Before
inserting the SIM card we recommend checking at
various mobile phone state of the SIM card (starting with
or without PIN, PIN, etc.) and set starting without PIN.
When you want starting with PIN you have to
preprogrammed this PIN and set starting with PIN (via
table of programming).Without this setting the Gate wont
work. DO NOT FORGET ANTENNA CONNECTION. The
Gate fix on the wall by 2 holes on the back cover. The
available place choose up following point of view:
1. distance from PBX –possibility of GSM interferences to
other PBX lines as same as lenght of line from Gate to
PBX (max. 200m)
2. main 230 V for power supply of Gate
3. Quality of GSM signal at the installation place of GSM
Gate
Quality of GSM signal
The sound quality depends on BTS setting where you are
connected by the Gate. To find best place for antenna
mounting you can use either mobile phone or feature 29 (table
of programming). The suitable signal power is 3 scales of
mobile graduation.
Connection of antenna
When you connect magnetic antenna keep on mounting at
bigger iron subject. This subject makes „against-weight“ at its
depends the power of radiated signal.

When you inserted SIM card as same as all cables are
connected (do not forget that Blue gate is connected on
external line not on extension) connect device to main 230V.
The LED of „power supply„ is light up . After a few seconds will
start flashing a red diod on the board with TC 35 module –log
into GSM network. Till 15 seconds starts flashing LED
„communication to GSM„ in cca 2 sec. period and LED
„operation AB„ not lights. Then device is ready to work.When
pick up connected analogue phone or call to Blue Gate from
PBX the LED of analogue line lights up („operation AB„). In the
phone is hearing dial tone of Blue Gate.
The most often problems during Blue Gate compact
installation:
All LED is not lighting.Problem in power supply. Check
connection to main 230V as same as connection of
adapter to Blue Gate.
The LED „communication to GSM„ is flashing. After
calling to Blue gate is not light up LED „operation AB„ in
analogue phone is busy tone. The SIM card requires
PIN, which is not preprogrammed or is preprogrammed
wrongly.
The LED „communication to GSM„ is flash shortly one
for 2 sec. After calling to Blue Gate you are hearing
busy tone. Blue Gate is not log into GSM network –bad
signal.
The LED „communication to GSM„ is flashing. After
calling to Blue gate is not light up LED „operation AB„ in
analogue phone is quiet. It interrupted conduction of
analogue line or so much big resistance in current loop
(for example:( longer cabel between PBX and Blue
Gate).

The LED „communication to GSM„ is flashing as same
as the LED „operation AB“ is lighiting. , in phone is
quite. PBX keep the line ON HOOK. By calling to to this
line you will remove this problem. Otherwise progress
up your manual to your PBX.
The Gate is working but sound is disturbed by GSM
interferences. Bad position of antenna regard to line(s)
of PBX which are disturbing by GSM interferences.
Change related position of antenna and line(s).
The Blue Gate is working but in calling is ECHO
hearing. The sound efect is creating during uncorrectly
impedance adjusting of BTS chanel where you are
connected.The ECHO remove by balancing of
impedance by corresponding trimr. (mark starting
position!).
Note. Default is reachable by 99 dialing (via. Table of
programming).
All tones variants as same as LED meanings are
mentioned at the table at the end of manual.

RS232
The Gate is equipped by serial port RS232 for direct control of
GSM module Siemens TC35 (or MC35 or MC39 for GPRS).
The Gate you can further use ordinary GSM modem for data
transmission, internet connection or for SMS messages.
When unit is working as GSM modem then is busy for voice
connection. When you pick up the line you will hear busy tone.
The unit is monitoring data transmission by modem. The data
transmission can not be permanent therefore the unit stays in
data mode 30 seconds after finishing of data transmission.
Then is going back to Voice mode (calling).
The same is when you are calling over unit. It is busy for
data transmission.
The optional sw supply to unit for sending and receiving
SMS messages is SMS mail. It is working under Outlook,
Outlook Expres, Opera etc. And you can work with SMS as
with normal e mails. ( see manual for SMS mail).
The next occassion of serial port is monitoring of unit
operation. It enables recording outgoing as same as incoming
calls including time and CLIP, power of signla etc..(*available
in June 2004).

CONFIGURATION
The programming mode is set after acknowledgement dialing
to Blue Gate.In the analogue phone is waiting tone. After
password inserting is tone changing to programming tone.
Then you can programming each features of Blue Gate (via
table of programming)
Progress of programming:
Dial 2 digits number of programming feature.
Dial 1 to 4 digits number for feature value programming.
Wait for a tone of confirming request (3 short tones).
Confirm the feature by dialling acknowledgement (#)
Wait for confirming tone.
Follow programming tone again.
Finish programming by hang up a phone.
Example: programming of new permitted fix numbers (02) to
memory 09:
Dial acknowledgement (default is #). In phone you are hearing
waiting tone (). Dial password (default 0000).
Waiting tone is changing to programming tone (). Dial
1902. Wait for tone of confirming request (3 short tones). Confirm
the feature by dialling acknowledgement (#). Wait for confirming
tone (one long tone). Finish programming mode by hang up a phone.
Warning: After dialling of parametr value you have to wait for 3
short tones and then dial acknowledgement # . Wait for long
tone confirm acceptation of this parametr .

Notes to each feature:
11-19 When you have set some fix-numbers (default is 060, it
is GSM operators in Czech republic) through BLUE
GATE will dial only numbers starting at this fix-number.
At the others received busy tone. When memories will
be empty the calling wont be restricted.
Rewriting of memory –by storing of new fix-numbers
are old fix-numbers erased.
Erasing of memory - Memory you will erase by storing
of „nothing“. You
dial only number of memory which you want erase and
confim it.
21 The set of this feature is suitable at PBX which detect
breakdown on the line. As the line is detected as
breakdown then extensions are not connected on its.
22 Very important feature is acknowledge character
setting. Default is #. When is # used for PBX features
you can change it on *.
24 An analogue phones are not enable send „+„ which is
very used in GSM. In this case is possible to use
combination „00„ to send it to mobile phone.
31 This feature identificated connection of BLUE GATE to
external line at some type of PBX (ex.:Siemens Hicom).
32,35 The GSM phones requested command to connection on
inserted number. The BLUE GATE will send a
command immediately after acknowledge character
dialling (#).

Notes:
Programming is only by tone dial DTMF. Dont forget set
even external line at PBX.
Changes are valid after hang up only (finishing of
programming mode). It is very important especially in
acknowledge character changes- till hang up you must
use previous acknowledgement.
After numbers dialing you must wait for confirming
request , insert acknowledge character and wait for
confirming tone. When you insert acknowledge
charater before wont be accepted.
Switch to programming mode is possible even in busy
tone.
