Key Features
3G Network Support
Matrix SIMADO GFXD1111S 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 Coverage.
12 KHz / 16 KHz Metering (PCO Application)
The SIMADO GFXD1111S provides both 12KHz and 16KHz metering for PCO applications. It generates 12KHz / 16KHz metering pulses for the PCO monitor connected to its FXS port to print the bill as per the call rate.
Abbreviated Dialing
Up to 32 frequently used numbers can be stored in the internal memory. These numbers can be dialed just by using abbreviated codes.
Allowed and Denied Lists
Allowed and Denied Lists are used to restrict the dialing of long-distance and international numbers. A number is blocked if its prefix matches any entry in the Denied List. On the other hand, a number is allowed to go through if it matches any entry of the Allowed List. This provides flexibility of allowing only specific numbers while blocking all others.
Automatic Number Translation
The SIMADO GFXD1111S modifies the incoming number or part thereof so that it matches with the numbering plan of the destination network. For example, GSM networks require dialing of complete numbers including the area codes. If a caller has dialed only the local number, the Simado GFXD1111S adds area code as appropriate prefix.
Call Divert
This feature gives the user flexibility to user to divert incoming calls of a GSM port to another GSM or FXO port in different conditions like Unconditionally, When busy, No-reply and No-coverage.
Call Progress Tones and Rings
The SIMADO GFXD1111S provides Call Progress Tones like Dial Tone, Ring Back Tone and Busy Tone etc. Country-specific tones can be selected to match those of the country where it is installed. Similarly, ring cadences can also be selected.
Calling Party Control (CPC)
The SIMADO GFXD1111S can send Calling Party Control call release signal on its FXS ports. This signal is then sensed by the PBX or other equipment to release the ports when a call is terminated by the party on the GSM side of the network. This prevents the blockage of ports. The system also detects CPC signals on the FXO Port.
Caller Line Identification Presentation (CLIP)
The SIMADO GFXD1111S supports CLIP on FXS, FXO and GSM ports. A port can be programmed to receive or send CLIP using any of the standards like DTMF, FSK ITU-T and FSK Bellcore.
