Safety Measures

Safety and Security Precautions

Please be sure and take time to read this section to ensure your personal safety and
proper operation of your TELES Infrastructure System.
To avoid personal injury or damage to the system, please follow all safety instructions before you begin working on your TELES Infrastructure System.
TELES Infrastructure Systems are CE certified and fulfill all relevant security requirements. The manufacturer assumes no liability for consequential damages or
for damages resulting from unauthorized changes.
This chapter applies for all TELES.Systems. Information that applies only for individual TELES.Systems specifies the system for which it applies.

2.1

Safety Measures

Danger of electric shock - the power supplies run on 230 V. Unplug the TELES
Infrastructure System from its power source before working on the power supply
or extension socket.
Make sure to install the system near the power source and that the power source
is easily accessible.
Bear in mind that telephone and WAN lines are also energized and can cause electric shocks.
Wire your system using only the cables included in the package contents. Use only
proper ISDN and Ethernet cables.
Do not insert foreign objects into openings in the device. Conductible objects can
cause short circuits that result in fire, electric shock or damage to the device.
Do not open the TELES Infrastructure System except to install an additional
TELES.Component. Changes in the device are not permitted.
Be sure to respect country-specific regulations, standards or guidelines for accident prevention.

2.2

Tips for EMC Protection

Use shielded cables.
Do not remove any housing components. They provide EMC protection.

2.3

Safety and Security Precautions

System Security

This section describes all points crucial to the TELES Infrastructure System’s system security.
The system’s location must support normal operation of TELES Infrastructure
Systems according to EN ETS 300 386. Be sure to select the location with the following conditions in mind:
Location: Make sure you install the system horizontally in a clean, dry, dust-free
location. If possible, the site should be air-conditioned. The site must be free of
strong electrical or magnetic fields, which cause disrupted signals and, in extreme
cases, system failure.
Temperature: The site must maintain a temperature between 0 and 45°C. Be sure
to guard against temperature fluctuations. Resulting condensation can cause short
circuiting. The humidity level may not exceed 80%.
To avoid overheating the system, make sure the site provides adequate ventilation.
Power: The site must contain a central emergency switch for the entire power
source.
The site’s fuses must be calculated to provide adequate system security. The electrical facilities must comply with applicable regulations.
The operating voltage and frequency may not exceed or fall below what is stated
on the label.
Antenna: TELES.iGATE contains no provision or protective device against power surges or lightning strikes.
The installation of the antenna must fulfill all necessary safety requirements. Employ the services of a professional antenna installer.

2.4

Servicing the System

Regular servicing ensures that your TELES.System runs trouble-free. Servicing
also includes looking after the room in which the system is set up. Ensure that the
air-conditioning and its filter system are regularly checked and that the premises
are cleaned on a regular basis.

2.4.2

Protecting the Operating System

Changing configuration data and/or SIM card positions may lead to malfunctions
and/or misrouting, as well as possible consequential damage. Make changes at
your own risk. TELES is not liable for any possible damage resulting from or in
relation to such changes. Please thoroughly check any changes you or a third party
have made to your configuration!
Make sure your hard disk or flash disk contains enough storage space. Downloading the log files and deleting them from the system on a regular basis will ensure
your system’s reliability.
Be careful when deleting files that you do not delete any files necessary for system
operation.
TELES.vGATE Control Unit:
Do not use Ctrl/Alt/Del (Task Manager) to shut down vGateDesktop or
vGateCtrl. Do not perform queries on the database. This can result in damages to
the database. Do not use any MySQL tools, such as MySQL-Front to make changes in or perform tests on the database.

2.5

CDR Files

Call Detail Records are intended for analysis of the system’s activity only. They
are not designed to be used for billing purposes, as it may occur that the times they
record are not exact.
Note:

Inaccuracies in the generation of CDRs may occur for active connections if traffic is flowing on the system while modifications in configuration or routing files are activated.

Safety and Security Precautions

Network Security

Every day hackers develop new ways to break into systems through the Internet.
While TELES takes great care to ensure the security of its systems, any system
with access through the Internet is only as secure as its user makes it. Therefore,
to avoid unwanted security breaches and resulting system malfunctions, you must
take the following steps to secure your TELES.System if you connect it to the Internet:
•
•
•

Use an application gateway or a packet firewall.
To limit access to the system to secure remote devices, delete the default route
and add individual secure network segments.
Access to the system via Telnet, FTP, HTTP, TELES.GATE Manager or remote vGateDesktop must be password protected. Do not use obvious passwords (anything from sesame to your mother-in-laws maiden name).
Remember: the password that is easiest to remember is also likely to be easiest
to crack.

The firewall must support the following features:
•
•

Protection against IP spoofing
Logging of all attempts to access the system

The firewall must be able to check the following information and only allow trusted users to access the TELES.System:
•
•
•
•
•
•

IP source address
IP destination address
Protocol (whether the packet is TCP, UDP, or ICMP)
TCP or UDP source port
TCP or UDP destination port
ICMP message type

Overview

Mobile phone charges have
become an important cost factor for many carriers and companies. Connections from the
fixed network to mobile networks share a considerable
amount of these costs.
The TELES.iGATE can help
reduce these costs up to 70%,
because calls from mobile network to mobile network cost significantly less than
calls from the fixed network to mobile networks. Fixed-to-mobile calls that travel
through the TELES.iGATE are routed and billed as if they occurred within the
same mobile network. You can insert SIM cards from any carrier into the SIM4
or SIM24 module.
Depending on whether your system includes TELES.iGATE 4 GSM Boards,
TELES.iGATE 4 CDMA Boards or TELES.iGATE 4 UMTS Boards, each
TELES.iGATE can provide direct access to the GSM, CDMA or UMTS mobile
network with up to 32 mobile channels – 4 mobile channels per TELES.iGATE 4
Mobile Board or up to 8 TELES.iGATE 4 Mobile Boards per TELES.iGATE. The
TELES.iGATE Antenna Splitter Board combines the antennas so that only one or
two antennas leave the system.
The TELES.iGATE has 2 optional PRI ports, optional BRI ports and VoIP functionality, which provides up to 32 VoIP channels, so connection of the mobile
gateway occurs by VoIP. The TELES.iGATE combines the cost savings resulting
from implementation of the TELES.iGATE with those of Voice over IP transmission. TELES.iGATEs can be set up in various national or international locations.
The TELES.iGATE features packages are modular expansion applications that
provide services in addition to those offered with the standard software. Feature
packages can be activated separately or in combination with one another, so that
you can design your system according to your own needs.
The TELES.iGATE supports all of the following standards:
• GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications)
• CDMA (Code-Division Multiple Access)
• UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System)
Throughout this manual, the following boards will be referred to as
TELES.iGATE 4 Mobile Board, unless otherwise specified:

Overview

3.2

How TELES.iGATE Works

How TELES.iGATE Works

The TELES.iGATE is connected to the PSTN or an IP network and to the mobile
network.
•

•

During outgoing calls from the PSTN or IP network to mobile, dialed digits
are compared with the routing-table entries for various mobile networks. The
calls are then routed through the corresponding SIMs in the TELES.iGATE
and forwarded to the number dialed.
Only the connection from the SIM in the TELES.iGATE to the mobile number
in the same mobile network is charged.

3.3

Supported Implementation Scenarios

In each of the following scenarios, calls are routed through individual gateways
into the mobile network:
a) Integration in a carrier network:
One or more mobile gateways are
connected to the carrier network.
The carrier network routes mobile
connections to the individual mobile gateways, which then terminate the mobile calls.
b) Connection to a centralized SIM
server (TELES.vGATE): The mobile gateways are integrated in the
TELES.vGATE through the IP network. All SIM cards in the
TELES.vGATE network are installed in and maintained from a
central server, so that it is no longer
necessary to install SIM cards into
each TELES.iGATE. The vGateDesktop makes it possible to assign SIMs virtually to random ports and various times without physically removing the
SIMs from the TELES.vGATE Sim Unit.

Page 11

Supported Implementation Scenarios

Overview

c) Last mile connection via mobile:
The mobile gateways are set up at
specific locations. The mobile
gateway can multiplex the available mobile channels, as well as directly connect analog and/or ISDN
subscribers (voice connections
only).
d) Callback with DTMF: The user
calls a number that is defined so
that the user will be called back
based on his OAD. An alerting occurs. The user hangs up and is
called back. After the user has taken the call, the destination number
is entered using DTMF tones.
When he has finished dialing, the
connection to the destination number is established.
e) Callback for international roaming: The user with an international
mobile (prepaid SIM) calls a predefined number in the system. An
alerting occurs. The user hangs up
and is called back based on her
OAD. After she accepts the call,
she enters the destination number,
which is in the same country as the
system. This scenario is for employees who travel abroad, as it eliminates high
international roaming fees.
f) Least Cost Routing for termination of mobile calls: The mobile
gateway with integrated LCR is set
up between the existing PBX and
the PSTN. The system’s LCR recognizes calls to the mobile network
and sends them through the mobile
gateway to the mobile network.

Overview

Supported Implementation Scenarios

g) 2nd Generation LCR with VoIP:
One or more mobile gateways are
connected to the carrier’s IP backbone or the public Internet by VoIP.
The carrier network routes mobile
connections to the individual mobile gateways, which then terminate the mobile calls accordingly.
h) SMS connection by e-mail: The
mobile gateway is connected by
Ethernet to the IT network. It implements an SMTP server (e-mail
server). E-mail messages sent to
this SMTP server are forwarded to
the recipient as SMS messages
through the mobile gateway.

them into the jacks on the TELES.iGATE 4 Mobile Board.
Note:

Antennas connected to the TELES.iGATE must be installed by a qulaified technician according to all necessary safety requirements and
the antenna’s installation specifications. The antenna adaptor does
not provide power surge protection.

4.4.6

SIM Cards

Each TELES.iGATE 4 Mobile Board has a slot for a SIM-card carrier. Insert the
SIMs in the SIM-card carrier and then insert the SIM-card carrier into the
TELES.iGATE 4 Mobile Board.
If the system is connected to a TELES.vGATE, the SIM cards will be inserted into
the TELES.vGATE Sim Unit and not into the TELES.iGATE.
Note:

You must configure the PINs in the pabx.cfg before inserting the
SIM-card carrier unless the SIM has no PIN or the PIN is 0000.

4.4.6.1

The SIM-Card Carrier Module

The SIM-card carrier module contains the SIM cards for the individual mobile
channels. Each TELES.iGATE 4 Mobile Board (standard) contains one module,
which can be inserted into and removed from the back of the TELES.iGATE 4
Mobile Board during operation. Depending on the modules specifications and version, up to six SIM cards can be implemented in each mobile channel or you can
assign SIMs to individual mobile channels as you wish (see  in Table
5-16).
SIM cards are mounted on the front and back of the SIM24 module (optional) or
the front of the SIM4 module (Figure 4-4). As a guide to help you distinguish top
from bottom on the SIM24 module, SIM0-5 and SIM12-17 are printed in the
upper corner near the module’s blue handle, as shown in Figure 4-4. The SIMs on
the SIM4 module are numbered from right to left, with one SIM assigned to each
mobile channel in ascending order. You can select the SIM cards you would like
to use via software. Individual SIM cards on each channel can be active in different Timezones, or they can be reassigned following a time limit or call.

NTP server address

Note:

Bear in mind that the preconfigured TELES.iGATE’s default IP address is 192.168.1.2. If it is already being used in your local network,
you must run TELES.Quickstart without a connection to your local
network. This can occur using a back-to-back Ethernet connection
from your computer to the TELES.iGATE. If the desired IP address
for the TELES.iGATE is not in your network, you must assign your
computer a temporary IP address from this range.

Configuration with TELES.Quickstart

Figure 4-6

TELES.Quickstart

Now you can use TELES.Quickstart, to set up your TELES.iGATE’s IP configuration. Open TELES.Quickstart.exe. The program will automatically search for
your TELES.iGATE in the local network. For TELES.Quickstart, the source UDP
port is 57445. It might be necessary to change the firewall rules on your system.
Click the Search button if you would like to restart the search. When the program
has found your TELES.iGATE, it will appear in the window. As soon as it appears, you can end the search by clicking Stop.
The system’s icon will appear in gray if it is unconfigured. Once it has been configured, it will appear in green. The serial number appears as the system’s name.
The TELES.iGATE is partially preconfigured. The configuration files
pabx.cfg and route.cfg are already on the system. Only the system’s IPrelated entries must be set. Individual port adjustments are to be made manually
later. Port properties can be changed and parameters can be assigned then.
To change the appearance of the window, select Large Icons, Small Icons or Details from the View menu. In the following description, we will use the Details
View, which contains the following columns:

the Default Gateway and the Time Server in the corresponding dialog boxes. Select the Time Zone for the location of the
TELES.iGATE. Click Finish.

Figure 4-7

TELES.Quickstart Configuration: IP Settings

There is no internal time generation for the system when the power is interrupted.
That means the default time is used when the system is restarted or rebooted!
Therefore it is important to set the system time with an NTP server.
Now the TELES.iGATE is configured; all other processes run automatically.
First the TELES.iGATE’s IP address will be changed and then the system will
start with the new IP address. As soon as the system can be reached at the new IP
address, you can set up a TELES.GATE Manager connection to the system and
check all system information, such as the mobile port status. You can also configure routing entries.
For information on TELES.GATE Manager access, see Chapter 4.10. For a description of configuration entries, see Chapter 5. You will find configuration examples in Chapter 6.If you right-click the system’s icon in the main window, you

can also choose Temporarily Configure IP Address, only the IP address for the
system’s first Ethernet interface address and the netmask will be temporary
changed. This can be helpful if you want to set up local remote access to the system and use other IP settings on the remote device than the system’s IP configuration in the network. Bear in mind that the functions on the system’s first Ethernet
interface work with the new settings.

4.8

Startup via FTP

If you are using a computer that does not use a Windows operating system, you
can preconfigure the TELES.iGATE via FTP. The TELES.iGATE’s default IP address is 192.168.1.2. To configure the TELES.iGATE using FTP, you must assign
your computer an IP address from network range 192.168.1.0 Class C and then access the TELES.iGATE via FTP.
The default user is teles and the default password is tcs-ag. To configure the
system, use the default configuration file example on the CD in the
Configfiles directory and the following four subdirectories:
•

IPconfig
This subdirectory contains the file (ip.cfg) responsible for configuration of
the Ethernet interface.
• carrier
This subdirectory contains a configuration (pabx.cfg, route.cfg) for
TELES.iGATE 32 with TELES.iGATE 4 GSM Boards and VoIP.
• corporate
This subdirectory contains a configuration (pabx.cfg, route.cfg) for
TELES.iGATE 16 with TELES.iGATE 4 GSM Boards.
• umts_system
This subdirectory contains a configuration (pabx.cfg, route.cfg) for
TELES.iGATE 16 with TELES.iGATE 4 UMTS Boards.
• bri_system
This subdirectory contains a configuration (pabx.cfg, route.cfg) for
TELES.iGATE 8 with TELES.iGATE 4 GSM Boards and an optional
TELES.iLCR 4BRI Board.
To edit the default configuration, follow the directions in Chapter 5. Upload the
configuration files into the /boot directory.

TELES.iLCR Base Board PRI Port LEDs

Each PRI port has one red and one green LED to show the port’s status.
The red LED displays the status of the bypass relay that connects the ports with
each other when the PRI port’s relays are off. That means when the system is connected between a PBX and the PSTN, it is transparent when the LED is red.
The green LED displays whether or not layer 1 is active on the PRI port’s connected cable.
