The ISDN PRI Cellular Gateway Solution Overview
This Gateway completely bypasses the local
landline telephone company. 30 office phones can be connected to each Multi-Cell Gateway and
operate simultaneously. Each port (phone connection) in the Multi-Cell Gateway can hold four cell
phone SIM cards. You can configure each port so that the most economical SIM is active at a given
time in call scenario.
One Location in the World Another Location in the World
An MS-Windows PC/Laptop can be used to operate the PRI Management MS -Windows
Application. The application is used for configuration, monitoring and usage reports generation, via
RS-232 (Comport) or IP connection.
The Management Application provided is mandatory for configuring the Multi-Cell PRI Gateway
operation and optional for monitoring and reports. However it is highly recommended to leave the
Management Application always on via an Internet connection, in order to allow monitoring,
reporting and performing configuration changes at any time.

The PRI Management MS -Windows Application provides the following functio ns:
Configuration - Connections, ports, channels, SIM car ds and operational modes can be
configured.
Monitoring - Call operations can be monitored from the Management Application.
Therefore you may wish to leave a computer permanently connected to the Multi -Cell PRI
system at all times.
Reports and statistics - Call reports, calls history, antenna reception, status logs and more,
can be generated for analysis in standard MS -Windows data processing tools such as MS-
ACCESS and MS-EXCEL.

Chapter 1: Connecting the Cables
You have several cables to connect to th e Multi-Cell PRI Gateway. Some are mandatory and some
are optional, based on the specific usage. In the following chapters we will use the term "switching
equipment", which is any ISDN PRI equipment connected to the ISDN connector in the Multi -Cell
Gateway.
Basic Connections
Power cable 110/220V - The power cable is supplied and should cover all main voltage
electricity services in the world. However , you should check that the cable plug is suitable
with your country's outlet socket. Connect a 120 V (North America), or 240 V (Europe)
power supply cable to the Multi -Cell Gateway.
Ground cable - The ground cable is not supplied and can be any ground cable that is
available in electricity shop and best suite d for your ground socket available. Connect the
ground wire to a suitable ground socket or connection available.
ISDN cable - The regular ISDN cable is used to connect the system to the PBX, serving the
office landline phones. For the regular ISDN cable, connect the ISDN line from the
telephone switching unit in your office to the Multi -Cell unit. Connect the ISDN line to the
socket labeled "ISDN" in the Multi-Cell unit, as shown below.
Comport cable - This cable is used between the Management Application PC via RS-232
serial COM port and RJ-45 connected the "COM" socket in the Multi-Cell PRI Gateway
unit. This connection is recommended for first time setting.
RJ-45 Ethernet cable - The regular RJ-45 Ethernet cable is used for connection between
PC with the Multi-Cell PRI Gateway Management Application and the Multi-Cell PRI
gateway system via IP. This is an additional option which can be used to connect the
Management Application PC to the system and it has the benefit of enabling operating
management of configuration, monitoring and reporting from a ny location where the Multi-
Cell PRI Gateway system IP is known.

14 / 54
After you have connected the cables properly, turn on the Multi -Cell PRI Gateway and make the
proper configuration according to your needs following the Management Application guidelines in
the following chapters.
Additional cables are used as follows:
RJ-45 ISDN E1 Cross cable
Used in the same case as the regular ISDN E1 cable depends on the ISDN settings.
RJ-45 Ethernet cross cable
Used for direct IP connection to a PC, in order to set the initial IP settings of the Multi-Cell
Gateway system.
Comport cable from
auxiliary computer
An ISDN line
RJ-45 Ethernet
cable
