4.5 Basic Configuration - Step by Step

This subsection helps you put your BRI gateway in operation for the first time. Refer to the paragraphs of S. 3 for more detailed settings.

  • Install the GSM gateway as instructed in Subs. 2.2. Remove the SIM cards or insert the PIN-disabled SIM cards before the first launch.
  • Connect the GSM gateway to the Ethernet to be able to get connected to the address mentioned in Subs. 4.1, page from the web interface. If the default IP address of your gateway is not suitable for your Ethernet installation, change the IP address setting as follows:
    • Disconnect the configuration terminal from the Ethernet.
    • Disconnect the GSM gateway from the Ethernet.
    • Get an Ethernet switch or an Ethernet crossed cable.
    • With the crossed cable, interconnect the configuration terminal directly with the GSM gateway.
    • With the Ethernet switch, connect the configuration terminal and GSM gateway to the switch. We do not recommend you to connect any other device.
    • Change the IPv4 setting in your configuration terminal Ethernet settings to, e.g.: IP=192.168.1.200, Net mask: 255.255.255.0
    • Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your GSM gateway.
    • Complete the factory login data.
    • Change the required settings in the Gateway configuration – Ethernet configuration section and save the changes into the GSM gateway.
    • Connect the GSM gateway to a standard Ethernet.
    • Rechange the IP settings of the configuration terminal and reconnect the terminal to a standard Ethernet.
  • Enter the new IP address of your GSM gateway to get connected to the web interface.
  • Set the current time and date for the GSM gateway in the Gateway control – Date/Time menu.
  • Check the Licence status for 'unlocked' in the Gateway control – Firmware/Licence menu. If the status is not unlocked, your GSM gateway is not equipped with the proper licence (refer to Subs 4.2). Contact your dealer for the licence key.
  • Set the correct PIN code value in the Gateway configuration – System parameters menu to meet the PIN code of the SIM cards used.
  • Set new login data in the Gateway configuration – Login configuration menu.
  • Switch off the GSM gateway and insert the SIM cards. Connect the antenna to the GSM gateway and switch the gateway on.
  • The GSM gateway factory configuration allows you to make outgoing calls without any additional programming. All you have to do is set the correct values for the BRI ISDN and VoIP interfaces.

Should you have problems with the gateway functions, follows the instructions below please:

  • Read the User Manual carefully and check all the parameters.
  • Find answers to your questions at http://faq.2n.cz (Frequently Asked Questions).
  • Contact your servicing centre.

It is recommended that you should attend certified training courses at 2N to be able to install the whole system successfully.
