3.2 Basic Configuration – Step by Step

This section will help put your 2N® VoiceBlue Next gateway in operation for the first time. Refer to all S. 3 subsections for detailed settings.

  • Install the GSM gateway as instructed in Subs. 2.3. Before the first start, remove the SIM cards, or insert the SIM cards with the PIN request disable.
  • Connect the GSM gateway to the Ethernet network to enable connection to the address mentioned in Subs. 2.2 from the configuration terminal. If the gateway default IP address is not suitable for your Ethernet installation, reset the IP address as follows:
    • Disconnect the configuration terminal from the Ethernet network.
    • Disconnect the GSM gateway from the Ethernet network.
    • Prepare the Ethernet switches, or an Ethernet crossed cable.
    • With the Ethernet crossed cable, interconnect the configuration terminal with the GSM gateway directly.
    • With the Ethernet switch, connect the configuration terminal and GSM gateway to the pre-prepared Ethernet switch. We do not recommend connecting any other equipment.
    • Change the Ethernet IP setting in the configuration terminal, e.g.: IP=192.168.1.200, Net Mask: 255.255.255.0.
    • Open your web browser and enter the GSM gateway IP address.
    • Enter the factory login data.
    • Change the required settings in the Gateway configuration / Ethernet configuration menu and store the data into the GSM gateway.
    • Connect the GSM gateway to a standard Ethernet network.
    • Restore the configuration terminal IP setting and connect the configuration terminal to a standard Ethernet network.
  • Enter the new GSM gateway IP address to get connected to the web interface.
  • Enter the current time and date in the Gateway control /  Date / Time menu for the GSM gateway.
  • Make sure that the Licence status item is unlocked in the Gateway control / Firmware/Licence menu. If not, your GSM gateway does not contain the licence. Contact your dealer for the licence key.
  • Set the correct PIN value in the Gateway configuration / System parameters menu. The value must comply with the SIM card PIN value.
  • Set new login data in the Gateway configuration / Login configuration menu.
  • Switch the GSM gateway off and insert the SIM cards. Connect an antenna to the GSM gateway and switch it on.
  • The GSM gateway contains the factory configuration settings that enable outgoing calls without additional settings. Now enter the IP address equal to the GSM gateway IP address on your SIP Proxy or IP terminal.

From now on, 2N® VoiceBlue Next will be ready to receive VoIP-SIP calls and route them to GSM/UMTS networks. If all the GSM modules are occupied, or logged out, the GSM gateway will reject all VoIP-IP and GSM/UMTS calls.
