OVERVIEW
The GS-MPI005HD MKII is a next generation mobile phone subrack designed for
use in broadcast trucks and studios. It builds on previous generations of GS-MPI005
mobile phone subracks.
Each GS-MPI005HD MKII can be fitted with one or two phone modules each phone
module can be either a 900MHz (European) or 850MHz (US) varient. Both versions
work in other countries as well as ‘Europe’ and ‘US’ depending upon the cell phone
network frequencies that are used by the telecom providers in the other country.
The mobile phone modules in the GS-MPI005HD MKII are unlocked mobile phones
and will work with any sim cards from any providors.
One touchscreen display is mounted on the front of the GS-MPI005HD MKII for each
mobile phone fitted. The touchscreen is a resisistive touch version which requires a
more determined ‘push’ when using than the capacative touchscreens used on many
modern mobile phones.
An external telephone handset can be connected to the GS-MPI005HD MKII for
making/ answering calls and for using for off air conversations prior to passing the
call to the analogue XLR circuits on the rear of the unit.
One external telephone handset is required for each phone module fitted.
The external telephone handsets are a useful feature of the unit but are not
necessary for day to day operation as calls can be setup and made/ ended using the
touchscreen display.
An optional Dante®/ AES67 network audio interface is available that provides 4
audio circuits (2 for each phone module) for interfacing to external network audio
equipment.
The unit is mains powered by a wide range internal switch mode power supply which
is terminated with a standard 3 pin IEC mains plug. Please note this unit must be
earthed.

FRONT PANEL LAYOUT
1. Sim Card Slot
The sim card slot accepts Micro sim cards. These should be inserted with the
electrical contacts facing down.
When inserting the sim card it must be pushed slightly below the surface of
the front panel before it will be held in place by the socket. Likewise when
removing the sim card it must first be pushed slightly into the socket before
the socket will release it and allow it to be extracted. A very quiet but audible
click can be heard once the sim card has been pushed into the socket far
enough to enable it to be fitted/ removed.
The sim card slot has deliberately been designed to force the sim card to
have to be pushed slightly below the front panel surface to remove it to
prevent it being accidently removed.
2. Touchscreen
The colour touchscreen is used for accessing the menu system for setting up
the unit in a way that is suitable for the end user. It can also be used for day to
day operation of making/ ending calls.
The touchscreen is a resistive touch type. This means that it needs a slightly
more firm push to operate than an average domestic mobile phone that uses
a capacitive touchscreen.
Resistive touchscreens generally work well when operated by a stylus/ pen.

Page 12 of 51
3. Headphone Socket
This 6.35mm (1/4”) stereo (Tip Ring Sleeve) jack socket can be used for
monitoring any of the phones audio sources.
In the settings menu it is possible to adjust the audio level of each of these
sources into the headphone’s mix circuit to suit the way that you want to work.
Headphone volume is adjusted by using the front panel ‘Control Shaft
Encoder’ (see no 6).
The headphone amplifier uses one of our clever designs that allows both high
and low impedance headphones to be connected without any degradation of
signal and even allows mono earpieces to be connected without any damage
to the circuit.
4. USB Update Socket
This is a micro USB socket.
It is used for updating the devices firmware (the software that runs on the
internal microprocessors and makes it work).
5. Recessed Reset Button
This button should only ever be used if advised to by Glensound’s technical
support team.
The button itself is recessed about 13mm inside the unit and requires a
straight narrow firm object (such as a straightened paper clip) to operate it.
The head of the button is only about 3mm in diameter so the paper clip must
be inserted level and straight to make contact.
When operated the button only moves about 1mm so if you are advised to
use it please do not press too hard with the paper clip.
6. Control Shaft Encoder
This rotary shaft encoder can be turned and also pushed and used as a
switch. It is illuminated and the colour is used to indicate different operational
states.
In general day to day use the encoder can be turned and used to adjust the
headphone volume.
If in a settings page with an adjustable level control (such as the display
brightness setting or sound settings sounder volume control) then the encoder
can be turned to adjust the settings value.
During normal day to day use the encoder is illuminated red to show that no
call is in progress, it flashes green to show that there is an incoming call and
steady green indicates that a call is in progress.

REAR PANEL LAYOUT
1. Ethernet Connector
The Ethernet connector is fitted for future use. It is envisaged that a webpage will
be provided for remote control of the device in due course (our hopeful aim is to
have this ready by summer 2019 but this time frame cannot be guaranteed).
The Ethernet control circuit has been deliberately kept separate to the network
audio circuit (no 6).
2. Ant (Antenna) A
This SMA connector is attached internally to the mobile phone module. The
supplied antenna should be connected to this connector. For best results it is
advisable to place the 2 antennas as far apart as practical and in areas of good
cell phone reception.
3. Line Out
This male XLR audio connector carries balanced line level (0dBu) analogue
audio that the phone module is receiving.
Using the divert facility it is possible to route the incoming audio from the phone
to either this output XLR or the handset interface.
It is possible to adjust this analogue output level using the ‘Output Levels’ menu.
4. Line In
This female XLR audio connector carries balanced line level (0dBu) analogue
audio to the input of the phone.
Using the divert facility it is possible to route the audio to the phone from either
this input XLR or the handset interface.

5. Ant (Antenna) B
This SMA connector is attached internally to the mobile phone module. The
supplied antenna should be connected to this connector. For best results it is
advisable to place the 2 antennas as far apart as practical and in areas of good
cell phone reception.
6. Dante® Ethernet Connector
If fitted this Neutrik Ethercon Ethernet connector provides 4 x bi-directional
Dante®/ AES67 network audio circuits. The 4 circuits are split 2 for each phone
module.
The audio output circuits to the network are in parallel with the rear panel Line out
XLRs and the handset interfaces’ earpiece.
The audio inputs to the phone from the network are mixed together with the Line
in XLR input and the mouthpiece of the handset interface.
Please note the Dante Network interface board is an optional item and is only
fitted if by Glensound if ordered at the same time as the GS-MPI005HD MKII. It is
possible to order this interface and fit it retrospectively yourself at a later date.
7. Handset Interface
This connector allows a normal analogue telephone handset to be connected to
the GS-MPI005HD MKII.
Once connected the handset can be used to answer calls (when an incoming call
is received just pick up the handset to answer). If used like this then the phone
call’s audio will only be present on the handset and not the rear panel XLRs (or
Dante Broadcast Interface).
To transfer audio between the handset and XLR/ network interface use the on-
screen divert symbol.
8. DC Loops
This 9 pin female D connector provides 5 general purpose inputs/ outputs.
Using the GPIO menu on the touch screen each of the 5 circuits can be set to
either an input or an output and their functionality can be assigned.
9. Mains
A standard IEC plug is fitted for powering the unit by a mains supply. The
attached mains circuit MUST supply an earth.
An internal fuse is fitted to protect the unit and a filtered IEC plug is used.
The GS-MPI005HD MKII can operate on mains voltages between 100 –240 VAC
and when fitted with 2 x phone modules consumes 10 Watts.

MAKING A CALL
There are 3 ways of making a call, the most common ways are using the
touchscreen or the optional telephone handset. The 3rd way is to use a GPI to dial a
contact (see GPIO menu).
Using the Touchscreen
If you select a recent call then an option screen will appear to either call the number
or add the number to the contact list. The default is ‘CALL’, then just click ‘OK’ to
make the call.
1) Press the
‘Mobile’ phone
icon
2) Either select the
keyboard to
dial a number
Or select a
recent call
3) Select the
number you
want to dial on
the touchscreen
keyboard
4) Then press the
off hook/ dial
icon

Page 16 of 51
Using the Optional Handset Interface
1) Pick up the handset (The dialling keypad will appear on the touchscreen)
2) Enter the number to call on the handset
3) Wait for the call to initiate
ANSWERING A CALL
There are 3 ways of answering a incoming call, the most common ways are using
the touchscreen or the optional telephone handset. The 3rd way is to use a GPI to
answer the call (see GPIO menu).
Using the Touchscreen
An incoming call screen will appear when the GS-MPI005HD receives a call.
The caller’s phone number will be displayed.
Using the Optional Handset Interface
Pick up the handset and take it off hook to answer the call.
Use the ‘Hang Up/
ON Hook’ Icon to
ignore the
incoming call and
not answer it
Use the ‘Answer/
OFF Hook’ Icon to

incoming call

Page 17 of 51
DIVERTING/ TRANSFERRING A CALL BETWEEN THE HANDSET &
XLRs
The audio to/ from the mobile phone only ever appears on either the optional
handset interface or the rear panel XLRs (or the Dante® network audio equivalent of
the above). It never appears on both circuits at the same time.
When you make or answer a call the audio will automatically appear on the circuit
that you use. If you use the touchscreen to initiate the call then the call’s audio will
appear on the rear panel XLRs (called ‘BROADCAST’ in the transfer menu) and if
you use the handset the call’s audio will appear on that.
When a call is in progress the touchscreen will show the following screen
Use the divert/
transfer icon to
display the
current setting
If you’ve answered
the call on the
handset you’ll see
this option.
Note:
As soon as you
press the ‘Transfer
to broadcast’ the
audio will route to/
from the XLRs/
Dante broadcast
circuit

Page 18 of 51
NOTE:
It is possible to set a GPI to divert/ transfer the call between the 2 circuits. Please
see the GPIO section of this handbook for more details.
If you’ve answered
the call on the
touchscreen you’ll
see this option
If the handset is
currently on hook it
will ring and the
audio won’t
transfer until the
handset has been
answered.
