4. Connecting the Ozeki VoIP GSM Gateway to a computer

If the SIM card and DC adapter have been plugged, you need to connect the Ozeki GSM Gateway to a computer to set the IP address of the device.

To connect a gateway and a computer to each other you need to use a straight-through Ethernet cable (the yellow cable on Figure 7). One of the ends of the cable has to be plugged into the Ethernet port of the computer and the other has to be plugged into the PC port of the Ozeki VoIP GSM Gateway.

Now you can configure the Ozeki VoIP GSM Gateway in a web browser.

By default the IP address of the gateway’s PC port is 192.168.8.1. To reach the graphical user interface of the device you need to set an IP address on the Ethernet port of the computer that is in the same network. The IP address of the PC can be from the range of 192.168.8.2 – 192.168.8.254.


5. Network settings in the Ozeki VoIP GSM Gateway

Open a web browser, such as Internet Explorer and enter http://192.168.8.1 in the address bar. Then the login page is popped up (Figure 8) to give the username in the User Name and password in the Password field (root username: admin; root password: admin).

7. SIP Settings in the Ozeki VoIP GSM Gateway

To connect the Ozeki VoIP GSM Gateway to the Ozeki NG SMS Gateway, choose the VoIP menupoint from the menu on the left side (Figure 12).

On the right side of the page the configuration page will be loaded. You need to choose the Config by Line configuration mode, where you can connect every line (Line 1-4) to the Ozeki NG SMS Gateway by giving the following data:

  • Phone Number: This parameter is used to set the user id of the line. The phone number is a unique ID that is served by the Ozeki NG SMS Gateway.
  • Display Name: It can be anything.
  • SIP Proxy: This parameter is used to set the address of the Ozeki NG SMS Gateway. If the SIP proxy server uses the special port (other than the SIP default port 5060), you can add the detailed port number at the end of the IP address or domain name of the proxy server. For example, 192.168.2.26:3000 or pbx.com:3000.
  • SIP Registrar Server: This parameter is used to set the IP address or domain name of the SIP registration server. You can use the same method for setting a port number than in case of a SIP Proxy.
  • Outbound Proxy: This parameter is used if the server has a private address. In that case you need to type that IP address or host name.
  • Home Domain: This parameter is used for the domain management host of the SIP (a host that provides the SIP service).
  • Authentication ID: This parameter is used for the authentication process. The same value will also be registered in the Ozeki NG SMS Gateway.
  • Password: This parameter is used for the authentication process. The same value will also be registered in the Ozeki NG SMS Gateway.

After you have filled every texbox, click on the Save Changes button. If you use more than one SIM card, you need to set the Line 2, Line 3 or Line 4 as well.

If you have set the phone lines under the VoIP menupoint, you need to give the same values in the Ozeki NG SMS Gateway as well. For more information, see the chapter 8.


8. Dialing rules in the Ozeki VoIP GSM Gateway

The Ozeki VoIP GSM Gateway supports number dialing by rules. To use a dial plan, choose the Call Management option in the left menu (Figure 13).

call management
Figure 13 - Call Management

In the Call OUT via GSM and Call IN via GSM sections you can set the followings:

  • Forward Number: In case of an outgoing sms the sms will be forwarded to the given phone number. Or if an sms is incoming the given phone number will get the sms in the connected network.
  • Dial Plan textbox: In case of an outgoing sms you can add a rule for the destination phone number. It can be necessary if an sms is coming from the PBX, and a prefix was used in front of the phone number. In this case the rule will remove the prefix from the front of the number. For example:
  • The prefix is 82 and the destination 0036301234567. This means that the destination number is 820036301234567.
  • Dial plan: 82:-82
  • Using this dial plan, the 82 prefix will be removed from the front of the phone number, so the 0036301234567 phone number will be the destination.

Format of Dialing Rules

  1. You can specify multiple rules, which are separated by the delimiter „|?. For example, “00:-00|0:-0+86|:+86755”.
  2. The number is matched from the left of the dialing rules to the right. When the number matches the correct rule, the number stops matching. Otherwise, the number continues to match the next rule.
  3. The rule format is “AA:-aa+bb”. Where, “AA” indicates the number to match and “-aa+bb” indicates detailed actions to be taken on the number. If the number is successfully matched, “aa” is deducted and “bb” is added. If the number fails to match, the number continues to match the next rule.
  4. You can specify a range for matching of dialing rules. The rule format is “[A-B]A:-aa+bb” or “A[A-B]:-aa+bb”. For example, you can specify the range of numbers beginning with 2 to 8 as “[2-8]: -aa+bb” or numbers beginning with 13 to 15 as “1[3-5]: -aa+bb”.

9. Settings in the Ozeki NG SMS Gateway
