4.5 Human Behaviour Functionality
Human behaviour functions constitute a group of 2N® SIM Star functions that make the system less visible to the GSM/UMTS providers. The aim of this functionality is to make the 2N® SIM Star behaviour as close as possible to that of a common mobile phone user. Extensive and detailed options of 2N® SIM Star help the user operate the system more efficiently and increase the relevant call parameters (ARS/PDD/ACD). Therefore, take into account the actual installation site conditions while setting the system functions.
The following paragraphs explain the system functions in greater detail.

SIM Card Travelling
By setting the Rules appropriately and assigning your SIM cards to the GSM gateways installed in various locations, you can virtually make your SIM card 'travel' over a long period of time. Remember to pair your SIM cards with the IMEI (refer to the SIMs settings) to make your mobile phone 'travel' too. A travelling mobile phone is less detectable by the provider's diagnostic system.
SIM Card Small Travelling
A mobile phone user keeps moving and the 2N® SIM Star 'virtual mobile phones' are partially capable of following him or her thanks to the function mentioned above and thanks to the so-called random BTS assignment (refer to the GSM Groups settings), during which the 'mobile phone' travels a little during each call.
Operation Distribution
No local overload of the provider's network can occur due to an efficient distribution of the GSM gateways with a reasonable count of GSM/UMTS modules. GSM module locking to a specific BTS is an extended function, which distributes operation of a high number of GSM modules in one location among the highest possible number of the provider's BTSs.
Bi-Directional Traffic
A common mobile phone user answers and makes calls and receives and sends SMS. This activity can be partially simulated by the so-called Virtual call and SMS simulators in each GSM gateway / whole SIM Star system. 2N® SIM Star provides on-line data necessary for such operation.
Turn Off Mobile at Night
Large 2N® GSM gateways provide an optional feature, which enables the unused GSM/UMTS modules to be switched off automatically off the peak time and re-logged to GSM/UMTS in the peak time.
Do Not Call Test Numbers
Using the 2N® External Routing Machine (ERM), it is possible, apart from using the number portability database for more efficient LCR, to use the so-called Dynamic Black & White lists. The ERM keeps monitoring the parameters of outgoing calls and, accordingly, add some called numbers permanently or temporarily to the list of barred numbers (Black list). Up to one hundred 2N® gateways can be connected to one ERM. The ERM is part of the 2N® SIM Star Server SW by default. Hence, all you have to do is enable this function by the licence file.
Relax between Calls
A common user does not call all day long but makes variably long breaks between the calls. 2N® SIM Star Server also offers this possibility (refer to the SIM group settings).
Check Credit Randomly and Sometimes Recharge
2N® SIM Star can, if set so in detail, calculate the SIM card credit virtually, asking the GSM/UMTS provider for the current credit info for checking purposes only if the x-th recharge is necessary. In case the difference between the virtual credit counter's result and the real SIM card credit value is too high, the system can notify you of this by e-mail or graphical message.
Use Free Minutes Efficiently
The free minutes rendered by the provider can be used efficiently due to up to four different free minute counters (own network, another network, PSTN, VPN).
No Problem Calling to IVR
SIM recharge and periodical activation based on the IVR services (i.e. services that you have to call, hear the voice menu and DTMF-dial the required service) represent no problem for 2N® SIM Star (refer to the SIM group settings).
Seek Bargain Offers
2N® SIM Star can activate selected bargain offers (such as unlimited monthly calling for a fixed price) on a regular basis automatically on the day as defined (every other Friday in a month, e.g.).
Call with Limits
Thanks to the option of detailed SIM card settings, you can, for example, limit the count of calls for a selected time interval. Moreover, the maximum call length and count of sent SMS can be defined.
Advanced SIM card movement
This functionality allows dynamic idle time according physical distance between two gateways. This idle time is counted from known GPS gateway location and user defined transfer speed (can be set different speed for different distances).
Controled SIM cards activation
Definable random speed of activation of new SIM cards hides new SIM cards in GSM/UMTS network. There are no bulk activations of SIM cards.
