ECOTEL 3G 16.1. Revised: 2011.
The call can be set up using a number of methods. This is also possible if there are not enough available telephone
numbers to handle all of the system's available mobile controllers.
DLA via DTMF
The user calls a defined number in the system. The called number is connected with the DTMF platform.
The digits that are transmitted via DTMF match those in the routing entries. When the connection to the
account manager has been established, both legs will be connected (See Chapter 9.16.1.2
).
GATE Manager (described in Chapter 9.16.2.2
below)
That means no BRI connection is necessary for a telephone that is connected directly to the system!

This chapter describes automatic recharging of prepaid SIMs using the GATE Manager. It is not necessary to set up
a telephone connection to the ECOTEL. The GATE Manager can set up its own connection to the carrier's account
manager and send the pattern of DTMF tones or a USSD message.
Recharging via Call and Transmission of Preconfigured DTMF Tones
This procedure requires exact knowledge of the when and what information the mobile carrier requests. The cor-
responding pauses following the connect, for menu selection, between the DTMF tones, for correct repetition of
the DTMF tones must be correctly configured in the GATE Manager before the call is set up.
This DTMF-tone pattern can be established by testing the recharging process on a mobile phone or by following
the directions in Chapter 2.1 and noting the pauses and transmitted digits.
After a connection has been set up between the ECOTEL and the GATE Manager, select
Commands | Send Call.
The window must contain either
General
,
Version
or
Directory
.
Send Call
opens a dialog to initiate calls or recharge SIMs.
To recharge SIMs, the
1st Number
(e.g. 12345) is the mapping to the prepaid platform through a defined con-
troller (e.g.
MapAll12345=20*0101:12345
).
Optional: You can set up a second connection to hear the announcement from the prepaid platform if you enter
your own number into the box
2nd Number
. Both connections will be torn down when the second number dis-
connects. If no number is entered in this box, the call will disconnect when the last DTMF tone has been transmitted
or when the last pause interval has passed.
Activate the checkbox
