Introduction The Burnside TX series fixed cellular terminals provide professional telephony features within a compact and easy-to-use package. All models can be used with a standard desk phone (or cordless phone) in locations where wired sockets are not available. The TX2L is fitted with both a PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network) landline socket as well as a mobile connection. Both versions are feature rich and can be configured for a variety of applications.
Getting started Remove the clip-on lid to expose the SIM holder and insert a standard size SIM card. Connect the battery and replace the lid. Connect the antenna, telephone and landline where appropriate. See the supplied quick start guide for illustrations. Connect the supplied charger. When charge power is connected for the first time after connecting the battery, the battery circuit will be conditioned which will take a few seconds.
Making and receiving calls To make a call, lift the handset of the connected telephone and dial the desired number. The call will be made automatically. With the TX2LR model in the default setting, the call will be routed to either the landline or the mobile network depending on the number dialled. When dialling a number, the terminal will wait for 3 seconds after the last digit dialled before trying to connect the number. This delay can be changed using CFG3.
Special mobile call features with TX2 and TX2LR The terminal supports special network call features such as multiparty calling. Special call features require the use of the button on the attached phone which is commonly labelled RECALL or R. Call waiting Providing call waiting is enabled and supported by your network, an incoming call whilst the phone is in use will sound a tone in the handset.
Call forwarding of incoming mobile calls Call forwarding is a mobile network service which allows incoming calls to be routed in the network to an alternative number (such as a voicemail box) when certain criteria are met. In concert with your service provider, the terminal allows you to control various aspects of the call forwarding service. The various forwarding criteria are not mutually exclusive and can be used in combination to divert different types of call to separate numbers.
Configuration of the terminal The terminal may be configured using dial codes, commands entered via SMS or the USB interface. Most commands entered via the USB are also accepted when the terminal is in Charge Only mode. Some commands are only available via SMS and some SMS commands have both a configuration code version and a more easy to remember text version. See the “TX2_CommandsAndConfigCodesV_1_0” document for a convenient overview of the options and codes.
Example 1: “1234 cfg3=2” Example 2: “1234 cfg3=2;cfg4=1” If one or more space characters are used after the PIN, they will be ignored. All commands that do not implicitly require a response are automatically replied to with a summary of the terminal status. This automatic reply may be suppressed by placing a stop character after the pin number. For example 1234. cfg3=2 will change the configuration without replying. An error in the command will always result in a reply.
Detailed information on commands: CFGn Read and write configuration setting. Value of n: Dial code Configuration/Function 0 *80*n# Phone region: The frequency and cadence used for progress tones. 0 = UK (default). .... others to follow.... 1 *81*n# CLI type: The Caller ID may be sent to the phone from incoming mobile. 0 = None (default) .... others to follow.... 2 *82*n# My number sending: This determines whether the terminal number is declared to the destination being called.
9 *811*n# SMS command enable (via USB/DTMF only): If the terminal is to be used with a PC connected via USB with software that handles SMS, disable the SMS commands. 0 = Disabled. 1 = Enabled (default) Can also be read as “2” after internal processing. 10 *812*n# Audio output level of mobile call: The output level may be increased in 3 steps of 2dB. 0 = Normal level (default). 1 = +2dB.
17 *831*n# Call announcement recording: When call forwarding or call announcing, the user may record a greeting up to 35 seconds in duration. For example “Thank you for calling Burnside Technology, please wait for the next available agent” 0 = Clear user recorded announcement and return to default announcement. 1 = Record new announcement. (Via DTMF/handset only) 2 = Play/review announcement.
26 *851*n# Automatic send of call log at threshold: Calls are automatically logged to a total capacity of 250 entries on a First In First Out basis. If the log is not automatically sent, or read using the “CLOG” command, the oldest entries will be overwritten. The call log data is mainly intended to be processed by computer software. See section on call log format. 0 = Automatic sending of call log disabled (default).
30 31 PNUMn *862*n# Power break period report threshold: Minimum power break period before reporting power break. 0-1000 minutes (default 1 minute). *844*n# Mute audio during PSTN dial: The audio may be muted to prevent DTMF tones being heard on the telephone which may affect automatic dial equipment such a “telecare” terminals . 0 = Allow the DTMF dial codes to be heard (default). 1 = Mute the audio. *89*[phone number]# Read and write phone numbers.
STATn Returns the status of the terminal in one of three different formats specified by n. If n is omitted it is interpreted as zero. The resolution of the battery display is 10 millivolts, and the resolution of the supply is 50 millivolts. n = 0 For general status, useful during installation: State: n (terminal state, see table 2 below) Signal: -79dBm Supply: On/Off Bat: 4.12V PSTN: 48V Temperature – (in degrees Celsius) Now: 20 Min: 18 Max: 26 Battery: OK/Fault Ver: 1.
n = 4 For information about the mobile network: Operator: my operator Model: GSM Signal: -79dBm Table 2 state value returned in STAT0 command. Value Meaning 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Charge only. Insufficient power to operate. Error condition, communication failure with wireless module. Terminal is initialising. Checking SIM present. No SIM installed. Checking SIM lock. Waiting for SIM PIN. Waiting for SIM PUK. Post SIM unlock initialisation phase. Settle time for reading SMS memory.
RESTOREn *888*n# Restore settings of the terminal n = 0 Restore all settings but retain phone numbers and call log. n = 1 Also clear phone number memories n = 2 Restore settings, phone number memories & call log (restore all) ON Turns the terminal on (change from charge only to full operation). OFF Turns the terminal off (change from full operation to charge only. Commands for TX2L and TX2LR: MPREFIX *846*0*[prefix]# Sets the prefix which determines if the number is destined for the mobile network.
Optional call logging commands for all models: LTIME *853*[hhmm]# Time to send regular SMS call log 24h format. Default 0000: For example: LTIME=2330 CLOGn Returns n number of call log entries (oldest first) in multiple SMSes as required. Once an SMS is accepted by the network, the log entries sent in that SMS are deleted. To extract the entire log, n should be 250. CLOG? Returns the number of available log entries. CLRLOGn Clears the n number of oldest log entries without reading them.
Installing USB driver and connecting to a PC Before connecting the terminal to a computer, please download the appropriate driver from the Silicon Labs web site. Silicon Labs are the manufacturer of the USB communications device used in the TX2/TX2L terminals. http://www.silabs.com/products/mcu/Pages/USBtoUARTBridgeVCPDrivers.aspx Once the driver has been installed, connect the TX2 to the computer. The computer will also have to supply power for the terminal.
Operating tips Use with Telecare terminals or other automatic dial equipment. When using equipment that dials into call monitoring centres with signalling equipment, mute the DTMF tones while the call is being established (CFG31=1 / *844*1#). This will prevent the dialling terminal from being confused by the dialling tones made by the TX2L.
Troubleshooting If the amber light is indicating a fault, this may be caused by the following: • There is no SIM installed. Remedy: Turn off the unit and install a SIM. Then turn the unit back on. • There is no battery installed and/or connected. Remedy: Remove the power, install and connect the battery. Restore power. • The unit has overheated. Remedy: Locate the terminal in a cooler location. In particular keep out of direct sunlight.
Important safety information Battery Do not use any other battery other than the one supplied with your terminal. Power supply Do not use any other power supply other than the one supplied with your terminal. Failure to use either the supplied battery or charger can damage the terminal and will invalidate the warranty. Operating environment Make sure that no special regulations are in force that impose restrictions on the use of mobiles. Restrictions to mobiles would also apply to the terminal.
Therefore, you should never rely solely upon any wireless device for essential communications (e.g. medical emergencies). Remember, to make or receive any calls, your terminal must be switched on and in a service area with adequate cellular signal strength. Emergency calls may not be possible on all wireless phone networks or when certain network services and/or phone features are in use. Check with local cellular service providers. © 2014 Burnside Technology Ltd. Page 23 of 24 Rev 1.
