You can choose which message will be uploaded or use detection by file name. Detection requires file name: "mess[index of message][optional remark].wav". You can upload more than one message in .tar file.

Note

  • The PRI 2 connection message will be played only if the B-channel is opened.
  • Voice messages with indexes 30 – 37 are used for detection of the mobile provider's voice message played before call connection. If a match is found of the voice message with any of the voice messages recorded in the gateway, the call is terminated automatically or established via the last GSM outgoing group set in the LCR table (on condition that the ITD – Ignore tone detection in last group parameter is active) in the Gateway Configuration / LCR table section. Refer to the Gateway Configuration / GSM basic parameters / Voice message detector settings for details.

LOG File

The LOG file window helps read out the gateway LOG file. The bottom part of the window includes icons for saving the LOG file into a file and refreshing the LOG listing in the web window.

  
Refer to the 5.4 List of LOG Events subsection for more details.

CDR File

The CDR file window helps read out the Call Data Records (CDR) of the gateway. The bottom part of the window includes icons for saving the CDR into a file and refreshing the CDR listing in the web window. Refer to Subs. CDR line description for more details on the CDR format.

Caution

  • The maximum capacity is 100,000 call records. When this limit is reached, the oldest record(s) will be deleted automatically!
  • The latest 1,000 call records are displayed in the web interface.
  • Downloading of a high amount of CDR may take up to several tens of seconds.

2 – The wireless engine is not registered, but is searching for a new provider 

3 – The wireless engine registration was denied by the network 

4 – The unknown reason 

5 – The wireless engine is registered to a roaming network

BBB = LAC (Location Area Code) first byte in DEC format; CCC = LAC second byte in DEC format; DDDDD = cell identification code 

  • Registration to a roaming network is restricted by default. For roaming enable refer to Subs. 3.3.2 Gateway Configuration.
  • Upon the dealer's request, 2N can activate the restriction of use for selected wireless networks only. Thus, the gateway will be unable to log in successfully to the restricted wireless networks. This state is signalled by the red status LEDs on the GSM / UMTS cards and the „netw-err‟ message on the configuration tool diagnostics screen.
  • Signal – signal level
  • Module ID – International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) or SIM card ID (SCID)
