ASCOM DRANOS 3 - DATASHEET 2 User manual

Communicating without limits of place or
time. No need for fixed or other networks. The
Dranos 3 call station makes communication and
data transfer possible via GSM networks, allowing
it to operate even in remote areas..
Dranos 3 is virtually unlimited
Do you need to transmit emergency calls, data or control signals
reliably to a central station? Do you need mobile emergency call and
information stations that can be put into operation at short notice? Do you
want to control and monitor decentralised systems in an environment with-
out fixed network connections, or provide visitor information terminals or
emergency call stations? These are just a few of the situations where Dranos
3 is the perfect solution! The call station is ideal, for example, wherever there
is no landline connection or it would be prohibitively expensive to lay a
cable:
For emergency telephones on motorways, in parks, public areas,
recreational facilities and remote regions.
As provisional emergency telephones along motorway construction
sites.
As a checking-in terminal at building sites.
As call stations for operating and monitoring entrance doors and
gates.
As mobile announcement and information terminals at trade fairs
and exhibitions.
As voice output modules for remote access to data via telephone
(e.g. temperature, depth of snow etc.)
GSM-R compatible

GSM-based call station for communication and
data transfer
Segment: Infrastructure Operators
Division: Security Communication

WIRELESS, DEPENDABLE DATA TRANSMISSION
In the Dranos 3, communication and data transfer are routed via GSM.
Just how reliable this wireless solution is, is shown by the following security
features:
GSM tri-band technology 900 / 1800 / 1900 for voice and data
connections.
Redundant message transmission via text message (SMS) if voice
channel cannot be established.
Integrated voice memory for local audio output of instructions,
reassurance messages or general information.
User-definable configuration of multiple numbers for each call key.
LED for visual display of call status.
A sabotage detection feature automatically triggers a call if an
attempt is made to break open or dismantle the device.
Status messages regularly report the status of the call station. The
interval between messages is freely configurable.
A periodic self-test of all main components quickly identifies possible 
malfunctions.
With its solar-panel power supply and an intelligent power manage- 
ment system, the call station operates entirely autonomously.
A robust, multi-functional casing with a high protection class
guarantees simple installation and operation even under adverse
conditions.
System overview
Calls from Dranos 3 call stations are routed to the GSM network. Any
analogue or ISDN telephone or GSM mobile phone can be used to receive
the calls. On larger systems, however, it makes sense to use a central station.
This offers additional functions such as visualisation and evaluation of
incoming calls, regular monitoring of call stations, and centralised configu-
ration of call stations.
One for all
The following features make the Dranos 3 call station particularly
attractive:
Thanks to GSM technology, intelligent power management and an
electricity supply via solar panel, the Dranos 3 call station is
completely independent of fixed-line networks.
With its versatile configuration options, Dranos 3 call station
functions can be optimally tailored to customer requirements.
A robust casing with a high protection class guarantees reliable
operation even in a harsh environment.
A comprehensive PC software package is available to configure,
operate and monitor Dranos 3 call stations.
Key parameters can be configured and modified by text message
