Introduction
In addition to the obvious advantage of mobility,
the GSM network also offers significant cost advantage to the
subscribers. This motivates organizations to switch to mobile networks.
They want to use the GSM networks for making and receiving calls even
during office hours from their desks using their existing PBX.
Presenting SIMADO GFX11, a compact and
intelligent terminal that satisfies all your voice communication needs
using the GSM line. The FXS port of the SIMADO GFX11 can be interfaced
to the trunk (CO) port of any PBX. This allows all users of the PBX to
make and receive calls through the GSM line.
Let Matrix SIMADO GFX11 be the bridge
between your PBX and the GSM networks and add a competitive edge to your
business by reducing telephony cost!
Matrix SIMADO GFX11 is a gateway to
interface GSM and Plain Old Telephone System (POTS) networks. On the GSM
side, it supports 2G Quad-Band operation and 3G Tri-Band allowing it to
work with any GSM/3G network. On the POTS side, the FXS port can be
connected to any existing PBX.
Incoming calls on the GSM port are routed to
the FXS port to reach the operator or any extension of the PBX. For
outgoing calls, the PBX users continue dialing the numbers as if dialing
on the normal trunk (CO) lines. Thus, the existing PBX users can avail
the low tariff of GSM networks by connecting SIMADO GFX11 with the PBX
without changing their existing infrastructure. In addition, Matrix
SIMADO GFX11 can also be used in a stand-alone mode.
Access to long distance and international
dialing can be controlled by programming Allowed and Denied Lists. This
logic allows flexibility of allowing access to certain numbers while
restricting to all others. Number Translation feature automatically adds
area code as prefix to a number before dialing it out on the GSM.
Moreover, features like Hotline, Signal Strength Indication and Location
Information Indication and Network Selection are also supported.
Matrix SIMADO GFX11 finds its applications
in corporate offices, factories, call centers, hotels, residences and
other such establishments.

thus allowing it to be used anywhere within GSM coverage area. It
provides Battery Polarity Reversal on its FXS port to activate the
payphone metering mechanism.

help-line or emergency number as a Hotline number. Hence, during any
emergency situation the caller can dial the emergency number just by

Highways, Hospitals, Railways, Airports, etc., which are prone to
high-emergency occurrence.
3G Network Support
Matrix SIMADO GFX11 3G offers accessibility of
3G networks for Voice communication. It supports Quad-band for 2G
Network and Tri-band for WCDMA Network. It supports fallback
compatibility and hence offers flexibility to access any available
network. Users are always assured for connectivity using the alternate
network in case the preferred (3G) network signal is weak or
unavailable. With 3G power, an organization experiences Noise-free,
Stanch and Crystal Clear Voice Quality, Enhanced Security and Utmost

Allowed and Denied Lists
SIMADO GFX11 offers 5 programmable numbers of
16 digits each separately in Allowed and Denied Lists. This is a very
useful feature to avoid unnecessary long distance and international
calls while allowing calls to only required numbers.
Automatic Number Translation
SIMADO GFX11 modifies the dialed number or part
thereof so that it matches with the numbering plan of the destination
network. For example, GSM Networks require dialing of complete number
including the area code. If a caller has dialed just the local number,
the SIMADO GFX11 adds area code as appropriate prefix. Translation table
of SIMADO GFX11 offers maximum 8 entries.
Disconnect Signaling on FXS Port
SIMADO GFX11 can send call release signal on
its FXS port. This signal is then sensed by PBX or other equipment to
release the port when a call is terminated by the caller on the GSM side
of the network. This prevents port getting stuck and provides accurate
billing.
Call Progress Tones and Rings
Programmable Call Progress Tones like Dial
Tone, Ring Back Tone and Busy Tone etc. are offered by SIMADO GFX11.
This allows SIMADO GFX11 to match the tones of the country standard,
where it is getting installed. Similarly, Ring cadences can also be
selected.

frequently, it can be programmed as a hotline number. Whenever a user
reaches SIMADO GFX11, it waits for some time for the user to dial a
number of his choice. If user does not dial any number, the SIMADO GFX11
dials out the hotline number automatically.
International Mobile Equipment Identity (IMEI) Number

Multi-Stage Dialing
At times, a series of number have to be dialed
before the actual number. Example, while using an ITC calling card, a
14-digit PIN Number, followed by another series of number have to be
dialed, before the actual number can be dialed. Dialing of these long
number strings can be avoided, programming shorter codes in the system’s
ANT (Automatic Number Translation) table, Calling card password table
or service provider table as required.
Network Selection
SIMADO GFX11 provides flexibility to user to
select the network manually or automatically. SIMADO GFX11 can be
programmed to work only with selected networks, preventing it from
