Winner Series BRI Gateway – February 2008 | The Dual Cell BRI Gateway Solution
Overview
9/34
The Dual Cell BRI Gateway Solution Overview
The Dual Cell BRI Gateway, that will be referred as the BRI Gateway in short, 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
Dual Cell Gateway via a phone switching unit (often a PBX type switch). Each port in the
Dual-Cell Gateway contains a SIM. A SIM is a smart card that contains information such as
the GSM network and phone number billing and verification Id.
The Dual Cell can be configured to direct phone calls through the most economical SIM.
An MS-Windows PC/Laptop shall be used to operate the BRI Management MS-Windows
application. The BRI Management MS-Windows application is used for configuration,
monitoring, and usage reports generation, via RS-232 (Comport) PC COM. For monitoring
reports and statistics, it is recommended to keep the management application connected to the
BRI Gateway at all times. The management application provided is mandatory for
configuring the BRI Gateway operation and optional for monitoring and reports. However it
is highly recommended to leave the management application always connected to the BRI for
on-line monitoring, reporting, and performing configuration changes if required.

may wish to leave the computer permanently connected to the Multi-Cell BRI system.
Reports and statistics
Call reports, calls history, antenna reception, status logs and more, can be generated
for analysis with standard MS-Windows data processing tools such as MS-ACCESS
and MS-EXCEL.

in your office to the Multi-Cell unit. Connect the ISDN line to the RJ-45 socket
labeled "ISDN" in front of the Multi-Cell unit, as shown below.
PC Comport RS-232 cable - The RS-232 serial connection cable between the BRI
and the PC is used for the installation of the BRI Management Application.

Chapter 4: Port and SIM Settings
This chapter describes port dial settings, as well as timetables and channel locks for SIM
cards in use.
Chapter 4.1: Define Dial Settings for Each Port
Press to define dial settings for each port. The Port Setting window opens. To
define port dial settings, choose a port and proceed as described on the following pages.

Winner Series BRI Gateway – February 2008 | Chapter 4: Port and SIM Settings

Chapter 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, in the Send Complete list, select HASH.
In this mode, after you dialed all digits of a phone number, press to send the
phone number.
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
pressed, 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.

seconds may be an appropriate value for this parameter.
