The 8 - 16 - 24 Channel (1U) VoIPALL Gateway, or VoIPALL for short, can connect VoIP calls to
cellular networks (CDMA GSM UMTS). The VoIPALL contains a SIP Server that can register up to
32 VoIP clients and connect each of these VoIP clients to the cellular network directly, therefore
completely bypassing the local landline telephone company. The VoIPALL has up to 24 SIM ports
that can make simultaneous calls to the cellular network. You can also call from a VoIP client to
another VoIP client.
The 8 and 16 Channel VoIPALL can be upgraded to include an internal SIM Server that can hold up to
64 additional SIMs (two cards of 32 SIM each). You can configure the Gateway to direct calls through
the most economic SIM. Additionally, the VoIPALL is able to load SIMs from 20 external SIM Servers
simultaneously.


Each cellular port has one Local SIM. Due to the flexibility of our Gateway, you can also call from one
of the cellular ports to another cellular port. Each cellular port can be programmed to work with any
of the SIMs in the SIM Servers at any given time.

3.1.4.1. SIM CONFIGURATION

Before making a call from a Gateway port, the port SIM must be registered in the network.
There are two basic modes for the Gateway to work:
Active by Default - The Local SIM will register in the cellular network automatically when
inserted.


Basic System Setup
Work by Time Table - The Local SIM will register in the cellular network only when preset in the
Time Table. For details, see Assigning a Local SIM to Work by Time Table on page 21.
To set the Local SIM to register by default:
1) On Main Toolbar, click Ports. On the left you will see list of all the ports.
2) Select the General tab.
3) In Default SIM, select Local SIM work by default.
4) Click Save.
5) On the Main Toolbar, click Monitor to view the status of the cellular ports.
The following is a single port monitor. The number of monitors displayed depends on the number
of ports in the Gateway.
When the SIM is registered correctly, the port monitor appears in green.
3.1.4.2. SIP CONFIGURATION

The Gateway has an internal SIP Server that is able to register up to 32 SIP clients. A SIP client can be
a:
VoIP phone
External SIP Server
IP PBX/Soft switch
By default, the internal SIP Server works without authentication. You can register without a password
and choose any user name. The user name must be a number.
To configure YOUR SIP to send calls to the Gateway without registration
1) Open YOUR SIP Configuration in the external SIP Server or IP PBX.
2) Configure your SIP to send calls to the Gateway, according to the following parameters:
The SIP Server IP Address - the IP address of the Gateway
The SIP User ID (optional) - the defined user name for this SIP client
The Authentication Password (optional) - the defined password for this SIP client
3) Save the configuration settings.
3.1.4.3. PREFIX CONFIGURATION (CALL HANDLING)

Each port can have a list of defined prefixes. When a number is dialed, the Gateway checks the prefix
table and routes the call to a port according to the dialed prefix. The first matched prefix on the list is
selected.
If more than one port has a matching prefix, the Gateway creates a prefix group of these ports and
divides calls with this prefix amongst the group.


Basic System Setup
To configure a prefix to a port:

1) From the Main Toolbar, click Ports.
2) Select a port from the list on the left.
3) Select the Prefixes tab. A prefix table for the selected port is displayed.
4) Enter the prefixes you want to add to this port in the table.
There are two rules:
The default prefix is *. If the prefix of a port is *, then all the calls that do not match a prefix in
another port are routed through this port.
If two or more ports have the same prefix then the Gateway will divide the calls between the
ports.
Note: To avoid losing calls, make sure that the cellular prefix is different than the VoIP and Host
prefixes.
1) (Optional) You can modify the dialing number received from the SIP which the Gateway uses to
dial out by using the following parameters:
Remove Prefix - Select how many digits to remove from the beginning of the dialed number.
Add Prefix - Enter the digits to be added at the beginning of the number.
2) Click Save.
3.1.4.4. LAN CONFIGURATION

When the Gateway is working behind NAT or a Firewall, you must make sure that the ports of the
Gateway are accessible from the public IP to the Gateway local IP.
The following ports need to be forwarded to the Gateway:
Port 2007 - to make connection with the PC software
Port 2008 and port 2009 (optional) - to allow access to the internal SIM Server
Port range from 5060 to 6066 - for the SIP registration and calls
3.1.5. CONFIGURING A SECOND PART OF THE MASTER

When working with a 24ch VoIPALL Gateway the second part of the master (ST2) must be
configured. Follow the same configuration steps which you performed for the 1st part of the master
above.
Note : The second part of the master (ST2) must have different IP Address from the first part (ST1).
3.1.6. BASIC SYSTEM TEST

Once you have completed the basic configuration described in the previous sections, you can now
test that the system is functioning normally using the following procedures.


Basic System Setup
To call from your SIP client (i.e. IP PBX) through the Gateway to the cellular network:
1) On the Main Toolbar, click Monitor.
2) Send a call from your SIP to the Gateway.
3) Check the monitor to see that the number was dialed correctly and the call was connected.
Troubleshooting
In case the call was not connected, check the following:
Confirm that the number was compatible with the network by dialing this number directly from
your mobile phone.
If you see that the number is not accepted, reconfigure the port prefix table to allow this
number. See Prefix Configuration (Call Handling) on page 15.
If the call is not displayed on the monitor:
Change the prefix of this port to * and retry.
If the call is accepted but not connected - reconfigure the port prefix and retry.
If the call is still not displayed - check that this prefix is not assigned to another port (i.e. VoIP,
H323, Host). If so, reconfigure that port's prefix so it does not conflict and retry.
If the call is still not displayed - check that the SIP ports are forwarded to the Gateway,
specifically port 5060 to 6066.
If the call is connected but there is no audio:
Check that the ports are forwarded to the Gateway, specifically port 5060 to 6066.
Check the audio directly with a SIP phone by bypassing the IP PBX.
Testing a port with a VoIP phone

Perform the following test to ensure that your audio is functional by bypassing the public IP.
To register a VoIP phone in the Gateway :
1) Open the VoIP phone configuration.
2) Configure the VoIP phone according to the following parameters:
The SIP Server IP Address - the IP address of the Gateway
The User ID (optional) - the defined user name for this SIP client
The Authentication Password (optional) - the defined password for this SIP client
3) Save the configuration settings.
To call from your VoIP phone through the Gateway to cellular network:
1) In the port you wish to use, configure the prefix to *. See Prefix Configuration (Call Handling) on
page 15.
2) Dial the number of the mobile phone.
The call is routed to the mobile phone through the port.
3) Check that the audio in the local network is functional.
If so, then the Gateway is functional and the audio problem is caused because ports 5060 to 6066
are not accessible from the public IP. Check your IP settings.

11) At the defined time, the Local SIM will register in the cellular network.
4.1.3. ASSIGNING A LOCAL SIM TO WORK FOR A LIMITED CALLING TIME

In the Call Duration mode, each SIM works for a defined number of call minutes.
At the beginning of the day, the Gateway registers a SIM from the list and then counts down the
number of units defined for that SIM until it reaches 0.
The Gateway then registers the next SIM from the list. This process continues until all of the SIMs on
the list have finished their defined time units.
The Gateway resets the time unit count to the original definitions at the beginning of every month or
week, depending on the Type selected in the Time Table.
The calculation of the units per interval

The Gateway calculates the call duration by intervals. An interval is a minimum billing duration.
When making a call shorter than 1 interval, you will be charged the entire interval cost.


You must define the cost and time duration of the intervals.
Calculations are as follows (See the parameters in the figure above.):

At the beginning of the call the Gateway counts the units according to the Primary bill interval.
The number of units for each interval are defined in Primary Cost per billing interval.
This Primary bill interval is repeated according to the number of times defined in Primary
Interval Count.
The rest of the call uses the Secondary Bill Interval.
For example:
For a call of 1 minute and 59 seconds, the unit calculations are:
From the beginning of the call, two 30 second intervals (Primary bill. int) according to the
Primary Interval Count for a total of 1 minute.
Each interval is 2 units according to the Primary Cost per bill int. definition.
Therefore, the charge calculation is: 2 intervals of 2 units per interval = 4 units
The remainder of the call takes 3 intervals of the Secondary Bill Interval for 59 secs.
Therefore, the charge calculation is: 3 intervals of 1 unit per interval = 3 units.
The total amount of units for this call will be 4 + 3 = 7 units.
Current Balance
The Current Balance is the number of units the SIM has left to use.
At the end of each call the unit count is updated. Once the Current Balance of a SIM has reached 0,
you will not be able to work again with that SIM until you set a new balance.
There are two common methods of counting units:
seconds
minutes
If you are workiing by seconds and you want to limit the Current Balance to a specific number of
minutes, the Current Balance (units) must be the number minutes X 60.
To configure the SIM Call Duration parameters:
3) Select the Local SIM tab.
4) Define the following parameters:
Primary Bill Interval
Primary Interval Count
Primary Cost per Bill Int


Secondary Bill Interval

Secondary Cost per Bill Int
Current Balance

4.4. CALL HANDLING

This section describes how to handle outgoing and incoming calls to the Gateway.
All calls arrive to the Call Manager. The Call Manager then directs the calls accordingly.
For each port you define which numbers the port uses to dial out and how to handle the incoming
calls.
The basic method of directing outgoing calls is by the prefix of the dialed number.


4.4.1. HANDLING OUTGOING CALLS (PREFIXES)

Each port can have a list of defined prefixes. When a number is dialed, the Gateway checks the prefix
table and routes the call to a port according to the dialed prefix. The first matched prefix on the list is
selected. 200 prefixes can be configured for each port.
If more than one port has a matching prefix, the Gateway creates a prefix group of these ports and
divides calls with this prefix amongst the group.
Note: To connect properly with the FXO port to the PSTN, you must first configure the Tone Settings
to match the PSTN network you are using. See Tone Settings on page 51.
To manage call prefixes:

4) Enter the prefixes you want to add to this port in the table.
There are these two rules:
The default prefix is *. If the prefix of a port is *, then all the calls that do not match a prefix
in another port are routed through this port.


If two or more ports have the same prefix then the Gateway will divide the calls between the
ports.
5) (Optional) You can modify the dialing number received from the SIP which the Gateway uses to
dial out by using the following parameters:
Remove Prefix - Select how many digits to remove from the beginning of the dialed number.
Add Prefix - Enter the digits to be added at the beginning of the number.
6) In Prefix Type select one of the following options:
Include - to only call the prefixes that included in the table
Exclude - to only call the prefixes that are excluded from the table
7) (Optional) In the General section you can configure the following settings:
Active - This enables outgoing calls from the selected port.
Start Delay - This value in seconds is the delay time after registration until the start of calls.
Connect Time - This defines when the voice from the called party is connected. There are
three options:
Very early - (default) From Alerting the called party
Early - From Ringing of the called party
Normal - From Connect of the called party
1) Press Save.
4.4.2. HANDLING INCOMING CALLS

To handle incoming calls:
4) In Incoming Calls Handle select the operation mode for each port:
Dial Tone - All calls that come to this port receive a dial tone when calling any other port.
Blocked - All calls that come to this port are blocked. The caller hears a busy signal.
Destination Number - All calls that come to this port are automatically routed to a number
according to the Incoming Calls Destination mode.
IVR - All calls that come to this port receive the IVR message. For details, see IVR on page 56.
5) Click Save.
4.4.2.1. AUTOMATIC ROUTING

This section describes how to configure the ports to automatically route incoming calls to predefined
destination numbers.
To route incoming calls to predefined numbers:
4) In Incoming Calls Handle, select Destination Num.


5) In Incoming Calls Destination, in Type, select one of the following options:

Fixed - All incoming calls to this port are routed to one predefined number (Num1).
Priority - All incoming calls to this port are routed to Num1. If the number is busy / no answer
(No Replay Timeout) / doesn't exist, the call is routed to the next number on the list, until
there is an answer.
Cyclic - The same as in Priority mode, except that each call begins with the next number on
the list.
6) Click Save.
Note: The Host port Destination Num is not active. To automatically route the calls from the Host,
set up routing in the SIP port for both SIP and Hosts.
4.5. CELLULAR OUTGOING CALL CONFIGURATIONS

To receive calls from a SIP and sending the calls to the cellular.
There are two options:
Receiving calls from an IP PBX or SIP Server- see SIP Configuration on page 15
Receiving calls from a SIP phone that is registered in the internal SIP Server - see Configuring the
Internal SIP Server on page 24.
4.5.1. IP RESTRICTIONS
You can define the range of SIP IP addresses which the Gateway is allowed to receive calls from.
When the IP address is restricted, all the messages from that IP will be blocked. You will not be able
to call from that SIP or to register the SIP.
To restrict the SIP IP address range:
2) Select the IP Restrictions tab.
A window appears with two restrictions tables:
Enable IPs
Deny IPs
3) Define the SIP IP Address range according to the following rules:
Enable IPs and Deny IPs are not defined - All IPs are allowed
Only Enable IPs is defined - The IPs in the defined range are allowed and all other IPs are
denied
Only Deny IPs is defined - The IPs in the defined range are denied and all other IPs are
allowed
Enable IPs and Deny IPs is defined - The IPs in the Enable IPs range are all allowed with the
exception of the IPs in the Deny IPs range


Note: The table is for a range of addresses. If you need to block only one IP, define the start and the
end of the range to the same IP address.
4) Click Save Settings.
4.6. CELLULAR INCOMING CALL CONFIGURATIONS

This section describes how to send calls to SIP.
There are two options:
Sending calls to an IP PBX or SIP Server
Sending calls to a SIP phone that is registered in the internal SIP Server
4.6.1. CALLING TO AN IP PBX

To call from the Gateway to IP PBX or any SIP Server, you have two options:
sending the call with registration
sending the call without registration
To send a call you must first define a Host in the Gateway. A Host is the SIP account which the
Gateway sends the call to.
To add a Host:
1) Receive a SIP account from the external SIP Server.
4) In the External SIP Registration section of the window, enter the following details in the Hosts
table:
Name - define a name for this host connection
IP Address - the SIP Server IP address or DNS name
Port - the number of the SIP Server port (the default is 5060)
User - the user name
Secret - the authentication password of the SIP account
Register - by checking this box the Gateway sends calls with registration
5) Click on the next line in the table and then click Save.
6) Click Register Host to register the host in the external SIP Server.
7) After a few seconds, click Refresh. If the registration succeeded, the Status will show Reg. If
registration failed, it will show Not Reg.


Note: If you did not check the Register box, the status will show Reg. even though you are working
without registration.
8) Once the host is registered, you can define a prefix for the external SIP Server. See Call Handling
on page 26.
The following is an example of how to call from a mobile phone through the Gateway to an
extension in the IP PBX:
2) From the ports list, select the Host.
3) Configure the prefix of the host to the prefix of the PBX extensions (i.e. if all the PBX extensions
start with the digit 1, then the prefix of the host will be 1).
4) In Remove Prefix, enter 0.
5) Dial the number of the SIM card in port 1. You should hear a dial tone.
6) Dial the PBX extension number.
The Gateway recognizes the prefix of the Host (i.e. 1) and the call is routed to the IP PBX.
4.6.2. CALLING TO A SIP PHONE

Once you have registerd the SIP phone (see Basic Configuration on page 14), you send calls to that
SIP phone.
Each SIP phone remains registered in the internal SIP Server for one hour.
The following is an example of how to call a SIP phone:
2) From the ports list, select the VoIP.
The VoIP prefixes appear in the table. The default prefix is 9.
In the Remove Prefix, the default is 1.
3) Define the prefix according to your needs.
Note: The VoIP prefix must be different than the cellular and Host ports prefix to avoid losing calls.
4) Dial the number of the SIM card in port 1. You should hear a dial tone.
5) Dial the VoIP prefix (i.e. 9) and the SIP phone number.
The call is routed to the SIP phone.
4.7. CONFIGURING THE SIM SERVER

The VoIPALL Gateway can connect to SIMs in both the internal and external SIM Servers. An external
SIM Server can be a SIM Server unit or another Gateway with a SIM Server program.
When the Gateway needs to register SIMs from the SIM Server, it connects to the SIM Server with
port 2008 and requests the data of the SIM. The duration of the connection between the Gateway
and the SIM Server is limited to the time that the Gateway is registered with a SIM from the SIM
Server.


Limitations:
A Gateway can connect to the SIMs of 20 SIM Servers.
The SIM Server can connect to 100 Gateways.
The SIM Server can connect to 80 ports using 80 SIMs simultaneously.
When the SIM Server is operating behind a firewall, ports 2008 and 2009 must be open.

4.7.4. ASSIGNING A SIM TO WORK IN THE GATEWAY

After configuring the SIM parameters, define when and in which port the SIM will work.
There are two methods for determining when the SIM will work:
Call Duration - The SIMs are replaced when they end their defined calling minutes. In this mode
you define a list of SIMs in the table. For each SIM in the list you define the amount of calling
units to be used. Each SIM will work for the defined calling minutes and then be replaced with
the next SIM on the list.
Note: After any change that has been defined in the SIM Settings or profiles, you must re-define the
Time Tables or reset the Gateway for the changes to take affect.
4.7.4.1. DEFINING A SIM TO WORK BY TIME TABLE

To define a Time Table:


2) In the ports list on the left side of the window, select General.
3) In Default SIM, select Local SIM work by time table.
4) On the left side of the window, select a port from the ports list.
5) From the Available SIMs list, select a SIM.
6) In Type, select the type of schedule you want to define from the following options:
Monthly - The table will show all the days of the month.
Weekly - The table will show all the days of the week.
7) In Swapping Type, select one of the following options:
Call Duration - The SIMs are replaced when they end their defined calling minutes. In this
mode you define a list of SIMs in the table. For each SIM in the list you define the amount of
calling units to be used. Each SIM will work for the defined calling minutes and then be
replaced with the next SIM on the list.
Manual - This gives you the option of manually connecting a SIM immediately. This is
recommended for temporary use only, generally by support in the debug process.
8) In the Time Table, define the hour and day for a SIM to register.
In the time slot you can see the information of the SIM in this format: C1_S1_192.168.0.31
C1 - the SIM Server card number in the SIM server

S1 - the SIM socket number in the card
192.168.0.31 - the IP Address of the SIM Server
9) You can define other SIMs to work in the Time Table by repeating the previous step.
Note: There is a SIM swapping limitation of 400 time slots per port.
10) Click Save.

At the defined time, the SIMs in the Time Table will register in the cellular network.


4.7.4.2. DEFINING A SIM TO WORK BY CALL DURATION

In the Call Duration mode, each SIM works for a defined number of call minutes.
At the beginning of the day, the Gateway registers a SIM from the list and then counts down the
number of units defined for that SIM until it reaches 0.
The Gateway then registers the next SIM from the list. This process continues until all of the SIMs on
the list have finished their defined time units.
The Gateway resets the time unit count to the original definitions at the beginning of every month or
week, depending on the Type selected in the Time Table.
The calculation of the units per interval

The Gateway calculates the call duration by intervals. An interval is a minimum billing duration.
When making a call shorter than 1 interval, you will be charged the entire interval cost.
You must define the cost and time duration of the intervals.
Calculations are as follows (See the parameters in the figure above.):

At the beginning of the call the Gateway counts the units according to the Primary bill interval.
The number of units for each interval are defined in Primary Cost per billing interval.
This Primary bill interval is repeated according to the number of times defined in Primary
Interval Count.
The rest of the call uses the Secondary Bill Interval.
For example:
For a call of 1 minute and 59 seconds, the unit calculations are:
From the beginning of the call, two 30 second intervals (Primary bill. int) according to the
Primary Interval Count for a total of 1 minute.
Each interval is 2 units according to the Primary Cost per bill int. definition.
Therefore, the charge calculation is: 2 intervals of 2 units per interval = 4 units
The remainder of the call takes 3 intervals of the Secondary Bill Interval for 59 secs.
Therefore, the charge calculation is: 3 intervals of 1 unit per interval = 3 units.
The total amount of units for this call will be 4 + 3 = 7 units.
Current Balance
The Current Balance is the number of units the SIM has left to use.
At the end of each call the unit count is updated. Once the Current Balance of a SIM has reached 0,
you will not be able to work again with that SIM until you set a new balance.


There are two common methods of counting units:

seconds
minutes
If you are workiing by seconds and you want to limit the Current Balance to a specific number of
minutes, the Current Balance (units) must be the number minutes X 60.
To configure a SIM from the SIM Server to work in Call Duration:
3) In Server Profiles Selection, select a profile.
4) Click + next to the SIM Prepaid parameter of the profile.
5) Click + next to Balance Recharge.
6) Click + next to Charge Calculation.
7) Click + next to Billing.
Primary Bill Interval

C1_S1_100\100_192.168.0.31


C1 - the SIM Server card number in the SIM server

S1 - the SIM socket number in the card
100\100 - units remaining\original amount of units
192.168.0.31 - the IP Address of the SIM Server
8) To unselect the cell, click it again.
9) Click Save.
10) Select the General tab.
11) In SIM Load Type, define how the Gateway selects the next SIM when the current SIM has
finished its work.
Select one of the following:
Random - The SIM to work is selected randomly.
Max Balance - The SIM with the highest balance.
Min Balance - The SIM with the lowest balance.
First - The next available SIM on the list.
Last - The last available SIM on the list.
1) Click Save.
Swapping SIMS in Call Duration every few calls

In Call Duration mode you can define the port to swap the SIM every few calls before reaching the
daily limit.
Each time the SIM is activated, the Gateway selects a random number within the range defined in
the Max and Min Call Count parameters.
This is the amount of calls the SIM makes during its activation time before being replaced by the next
SIM on the list.
To swap SIMs:
1) From the Main Toolbar, click Virtual SIMs.
3) Select a profile.
Max Call Count
Min Call Count
5) Click Save.

Defining a SIM to Work by Call Duration on page 39.
Note: Do not forget to configure the NAT of your LAN to forward ports 2008 and 2009 to the SIM
Server.
4.7.5. BLOCKING SIMS

The VoIPALL has a SIM blocking feature to decrease the number of unsuccessful calls from a SIM.
When the SIM is marked Blocked in the SIM Server, it is unregistered from the port in the Gateway
and cannot be used until you manually unblock the SIM.
This improves the ASR by blocking SIMs that have a low call success rate.
Note: This feature is only available when using Call Duration mode.
There are four reasons that the Gateway blocks a SIM:

Reason 1 - The SIM is blocked manually.
Reason 2 - The SIM has made the number of consecutive unsuccessful calls defined in Blocked
Threshold. See Network Announcement Message Detection on page 54.
Reason 3 - The SIM has made the number of consecutive calls that were detected as "message
announcement" defined in Number of Detection. See Network Announcement Message
Detection on page 54.
Reason 4 - The SIM has tried to register unsuccessfully and reached the SIM Registration Time
Limit.
The status appears in Blocked Cause using the following codes:


0 - The SIM is not blocked.

1 - The SIM is blocked by Reason 1
To configure the General Parameters:
2) From the ports list, select General.
Block Threshold - The Gateway blocks the SIM when the port has reached the defined
number of consecutive failed calls.
SIM registration time limit - SIM has not registered successfully within this time periods
(secs).
4) Click Save.
To block a SIM manually:
2) Select SIM Servers tab.
4) Click the + next to the Card.
5) In Block Options, click Block.
6) Click Save Card.
The SIM is blocked when it is finished working, (i.e. either at the end of a defined Time Table or
when the port is reset).
To unblock a SIM:
4) Click the + next to the Card.
5) In Block Options, click Clear.
6) Click Unblock.
7) Click Save.
The SIM is unblocked immediately.
4.7.6. CHECKING SIM BALANCE

The SIM balance is the amount of money remaining on the SIM.
There are two methods of checking the balance:
Manually - Using the debug screen. See Appendix B: Sending USSD (Unstructured
Supplementary Service Data) commands in the DEBUG screen on page 70.


By Profile - Using the profile, the Gateway checks the balance automatically at defined times.
To check the SIM balance by profile:
4) Click + next to the SIM Prepaid parameter.
5) Select Active.
6) Click + next to Balance Request.
7) Define the parameters in the following table:
Type The method of sending the balance request. Options include:
USSD
SMS
DTMF
SC Number The number to send the balance request. (Not relevant with
USSD.)
Message The balance request message.
Activation Type Automatically send the balance request. There are three
options:
SIM Activation - The balance request is sent one time
after the SIM has registered in the cellular network.
Calls - The balance request is sent every time the number
of calls that is defined in Activation Threshold.
Minutes - The balance request is sent every time the
number of minutes that is defined in Activation
Threshold.
1) Click + next to Current Balance Answer.
USSD When active, the Gateway will expect the balance answer to
be in USSD.
SMS When active, the Gateway will expect the balance answer to
be in SMS.


Parse String The Gateway will expect the balance, in the local currency, to
be in this format.
To identify the balance in the answer string, you must set the
number format in Parse String.
The options are:
[0-9]*\.[0-9] for number in format Number.Number ,
for example 150.25 .
[0-9]*,[0-9] for number in format Number,Number , for
example 150,25 .
[0-9].. for number in format Number. , for example
150.
For example:
If the balance answer is "The balance of the SIM is 150.25
euro."., the balance is 150.25 euro. In this case, the Parse
String should be set to [0-9]*\.[0-9].
Synchronize with SIM When defined as 1 (enabled), the answer updates the Current
Balance Balance.
Synchronize multiplier The answer is multiplied by the number defined in this
parameter.
The Current Balance is updated with the multiplied answer.
This converts the currency amounts to defined unit amounts.
For example: If $1 = 5 billing intervals and 1 billing intervals =
1 unit, define the multiplier as 5, then an answer of $2 will
equal 10 units.
1) Click Save.
4.7.7. MONITORING THE BALANCE OF SIM

When the SIM is registered in any port, you can check the balance by profile.
The SIM Server saves Current Balance updated by the last balance check of each SIM.
To monitor the balance of all SIMs:
4) Select the SIM Recharge tab.
5) Click + next to a Card.
The Current Balance for all SIMs in the card are displayed.
4.7.8. RECHARGING SIM BALANCE

The SIM balance can be recharged using the following procedure.
There are two methods of recharging the balance:


Manually - Using the debug screen. See Appendix B: Sending USSD (Unstructured
Supplementary Service Data) commands in the DEBUG screen on page 70.
By Profile - Using the profile, the Gateway recharges the balance automatically at defined times.
To recharge the SIM balance:
4) Click + next to the SIM Prepaid parameter.
5) Select Active.
6) Click + next to Balance Recharge. The following details appear:
Type The method of sending the recharge request. Options include:
USSD
SMS
DTMF
SC Number The number to send the balance request. (Not relevant with
USSD.)
Message The recharge request message.

The recharge message is in this format: msg%s
msg - the recharge message
%s - the place to insert the voucher number (See below)
The Gateway takes the first unused voucher and inserts it
in place of the %s. The resulting string is the recharge
message.
When sending DTMF messages, you can add a pause in the
DTMF dialing. "p" is a 1 second pause and "P" is a 10 second
pause.
For example:
When Type is set to DTMF, Message is set to 1[%s] and the
voucher number is 0438888#p22055#P, the Gateway calls the
SC Number, then dials 10438888#, waits a short pause, dials
22055# waits a long pause and then disconnects the call.


Accept Recharging Not is use.

Minimum Balance The recharge request is sent when the Gateway detects that
the balance of the SIM is below the Minimum Balance or
when it is scheduled in Activation type.
Activation type When to automatically send the recharge request. There are
three options:
SIM Activation - After the SIM is registered in the cellular
network and an outgoing call was made.
Calls - After the number of calls defined in Activation
Threshold.
Minutes - After the number of calling minutes defined in
Activation Threshold.
1) Click Save.
4.7.8.1. CONFIGURING VOUCHERS
