SIMADO GFX11 System Manual

Automatic Number Translation
What’s this?
This feature modifies the number dialed by the user and then dials
this new number on the GSM network.
Applications:
• This feature is applicable when the number dialed by the user can
not be dialed on the telecom network onto which the call is
routed through the SIMADO GFX11.
• It is also used for speed dialing to dial the numbers which are
required to be dialed, frequently.
Consider a SIMADO GFX11 that is installed in a PCO
• Suppose that a customer wants to make a call to someone in an
adjacent area within same telecom circle (commonly called ‘95’
calls) and the call is to be routed through the GSM network. The
customer dials out the number ‘952668263172’. When the
SIMADO GFX11 routes the call through the GSM network, the
customer gets an error message because on the GSM network,
numbers starting with ‘95’ are invalid. The customer however
will be confused because he had dialed the correct number.
• In such a case, with Automatic Number Translation, the string
‘95’ can be replaced with the string ‘+91’ and the number
‘+912668263172’ can be dialed out. The call will go through
successfully this time.
Consider a SIMADO GFX11 that is connected to a VoIP Gateway
• The numbers dialed out through the SIMADO GFX11 would then
have to be mapped to the numbering scheme of the IP network.
This mapping can be done with the help of Automatic Number
Translation.
Consider a SIMADO GFX11 installed at the headquarters of an
office that has branches in several cities like Mumbai, Delhi, so on.
• Throughout the day several calls might be made from the head
office to the branch offices. Each time the user would have to dial
lengthy numbers like 022-XXXXXXXX for calls to Mumbai or 011-
