2N^® SmartGate UMTS Parameter Programming

Most of SmartGate UMTS's parameters have such default values that meet most users' demands and need not be changed. Usually you have to program routing tables according to 2N^® SmartGate UMTS usage. There are two possibilities how to program SmartGate UMTS:

• Use phone line and DTMF programming from connected phone set. This is not applicable for all parameters
• Use a PC with the PCManager installed. Using this way all parameters supported by 2N^® SmartGate UMTS can be programmed.

Telephone Line based Programming

1. Hook off the telephone, you can hear the dial tone or the busy tone, and the Line LED starts flashing.
2. Enter the service password (12345 by default, can be changed) with the DTMF; to cancel a wrong password hang up before sending the  character. To confirm password enter a  .
3. If you have entered a correct password, you hear the confirmation tone. If not, the dialed number may be sent to the UMTS/GSM network as a call. To prevent this, hang up when you do not hear the confirmation tone.
4. 2N^® SmartGate UMTS shall remain in the programming mode until hang-up.
5. Enter the number of the parameter to be programmed and press a  . If the parameter number is correct, you can hear the confirmation tone, if not, you get the refusal tone and can re-enter the parameter number.
6. When the parameter number is confirmed, enter the allowed parameter value and press a  . If the parameter value is in the allowed range, you can hear the saving tone, if not, you get the refusal tone. You can enter another parameter number in either case.

Numeric parameters are programmed using numbers in units included in the parameter description. The step for setting must be respected. For parameters with different setting are values defined in the parameters description (in parenthesis).

To cancel any programming step in the programming mode, press a  . Having done so, you can hear the refusal tone and can enter a new parameter number. Parameters are saved when the saving tone is transmitted. Hang up to quit programming.

Example:

PC based Programming

For programming, connect 2N^® SmartGate UMTS to a PC with a USB cable and make sure that the 2N^® SmartGate UMTS PCManager is installed. Programming is intuitive and easy. All items and parameters are accompanied with texts hints - just point at anything with the mouse cursor.

2N^® SmartGate UMTS data uploading and storing, including firmware upgrade, are executed in a special mode, in which 2N^® SmartGate UMTS waits for about 3s after power up (all LEDs are on). If instructed so by the PCManager during this timeout, 2N^® SmartGate UMTS remains in this mode as long as it is necessary. If 2N^® SmartGate UMTS is not reset after the PCManager is terminated, switch the system off and on again.

Installation and setting of  SmartGate PCManager (Win7)

1. Connect 2N^® SmartGate UMTS to the PC using USB connection. SmartGate must be switched off.
2. After connecting is the virtual serial port in PC installed automatically. I case, that the port doesn't install automatically and unknown device is detected, install drivers by using file: Drivers/win/CDM20814_Setup.exe.
3. Find the number of virtual port using Device manager. Look at setting of COM ports and find port marked as  USB Serial Port(COM n).
4. Install PCManagerSmG from CD.
5. Run SmartGate PCManager, select the language on the upper bar.
6. In menu  Program  select  Setup.  Set the COM port – local and select COM port number according information from point 3.

Using of PCManager - basic

1. The main purpose of PCManager is setting of configuration and upgrade firmware of SmartGate.
2. When the configuration in SmartGate should be changed, the configuration must be first loaded from SmartGate, than edited using PCManager and finaly loaded back to SmartGate.
3. The groups of parameters are listed is in the left window of the program. All parameters are described in next part of this manual. There is interactive help in PCManager for all parameters.
4. When you start with any operation which needs communication with SmartGate, the gateway must be switched to special programming mode. PCManager will show you the demand to switch the gateway off and on to set it to this mode.

Further Data Handling Options

In addition to the 2N^® SmartGate UMTS memory, settings can be saved in a PC file and reloaded into the PCManager. This is recommended for backing up of current configuration

Monitoring

Monitoring is active when 2N^® SmartGate UMTS is in operation and registered to the UMTS/GSM network. If 2N^® SmartGate UMTS is not registered to UMTS/GSM, the USB port is blocked and no monitoring can be made.

This simple informative function helps you identify:

• The UMTS/GSM module type and IMEI ID;
• The SIM card IMSI ID and selected SMS service centre necessary for SMS sending;
• The UMTS/GSM provider's name and signal strength received by 2N^® SmartGate UMTS - this information helps you find the optimum signal location (the information is updated in 10s intervals);
• The 2N^® SmartGate UMTS line status – standby, outgoing call, incoming call including telephone number. The COM is locked during dialing and incoming call ringing, so the PCManager reports COM blocking.

Firmware Upgrade

The manufacturer responds to clients' requirements with periodical firmware updating. The current 2N^® SmartGate UMTS firmware, PCManager and User Manual are available on www.2n.cz. The latest firmware version is always included in every new PCManager installation.

 

Upgrading procedure:

1. Run the PCManager, select the language for displaying texts on the right-hand side.
2. In menu  SmartGate  use  Upgrade.  When the gateway is not in programming mode, you will be instructed to switch the gateway on and on.
3. If there is more then one file in the PCManager directory, chose one of them. The upgrade takes place automatically. Do not switch your PC or 2N^® SmartGate UMTS off during the process of upgrading!
