1.1. THE BRI ISDN GATEWAY SOLUTION OVERVIEW
BRI ISDN Gateway, or BRI for short, can connect ISDN calls to GSM cellular network
The BRI is a device that connects your desk phones directly to cellular phone networks. This gateway
completely bypasses the local landline telephone company.
Two desk phones can be connected to each BRI via a phone switching unit (often a PBX type switch).
Each port in the BRI Gateway contains four SIM. The port can be configured to direct calls through
the most economical SIM.

4. PORT AND SIM SETTINGS
This chapter describes port dial settings, as well as timetables and channel locks for SIM cards
in use.
4.1. DEFINE DIAL SETTINGS FOR EACH PORT
To define dial settings:
1) Click .
The Port Setting window opens.
2) To define port dial settings, choose a port and proceed as described on the following pages.

4.2. DEFINE TYPE OF DIALED NUMBERS DISPATCH MODE
You can define manual or automatic dispatch. Select the mode in which telephone numbers are
dispatched to the GSM network.
To dispatch phone numbers manually:
1) In the Send Complete list, select HASH.
2) In this mode, after you dialed all digits of a phone number, click to send the phone
number.
3) To dispatch phone numbers automatically, in the send complete list, select OMIT. Then set three
additional parameters:
a) Define the length of phone numbers that will be dialed from the port (within a
range).
i) In the Min. Digits box, enter the number of digits of the shortest phone
number that will be dialed from this port.
ii) In the Max. Digits box, enter the number of digits of the longest phone
number that will be dialed from this port
b) Define the Inter Digit Pause. This parameter defines a waiting time, after a
digit is clicked, before the number is automatically dispatched to the GSM
network.
i) If this parameter is set too low, then incomplete phone numbers may be
dispatched if the user pauses briefly while dialing.
ii) If this parameter is set too high, then users would have to wait a long time
before a number is dispatched.
The inter digit pause is activated after the minimum number of digits have been dialed. In many
situations, two or three seconds may be appropriate for this parameter. Each unit of this parameter is
50 milliseconds.
For example, to set an inter digit pause of 3 seconds, enter a value of 60 in this box (60 * 50
milliseconds = 3,000 milliseconds = 3 seconds).
When a port is set to auto-dispatch phone numbers, the number is dispatched automatically
after the user has dialed the maximum number of digits, or, when an inter digit pause has
occurred.
4.3. DEFINE MINIMUM AMOUNT OF TIME BETWEEN OUTGOING CALLS
Setup the minimum amount of time between outgoing calls in the Intercall Timer box.
Set this parameter according to limitations of the GSM network. In many situations, two
seconds may be an appropriate value for this parameter.
