JVA Cellular Gateway Quick Start Guide
PTE0320
Introduction
The PTE0320 JVA Cellular Gateway connects a group of JVA Z Series devices to
the Cloud Router system.
This quick-start guide tells you how to program the devices, and connect and
configure the PTE0320 Cellular Gateway.
Specifications

Antenna connector|
Female SMA
Ensure the antenna is mounted away from sources of interference such as AC
or high voltage cables. The antenna should be mounted external to any metal
enclosures.
Overview
LED Indicators
| KPB | Blink when the unit is communicating with Z series devices |
|---|---|
| GSM | Blinks when the unit can receive SMS Fully lit when connected to the |
Cloud Router server (can also receive SMS)
ERROR| Flashes an error code if there is a problem with the SIM or Cellular
network
Before you start
Ensure the Z Series devices are programmed and have a group master (unit with ID 1). Power up all devices and make sure they are disarmed. Refer to device manuals found at http://www.jva-fence.com/downloads.php
Activate your SIM card and test it on a mobile phone. The gateway predominantly uses data, typically less than 1MB per day, so a long-term pre- paid plan of >500MB per year is recommended.
Installation
Unclip the circuit board from the case back. Mount the case back using suitable screws.
The unit is not waterproof and must be mounted indoors or in an enclosure.
Insert the SIM card. Clip the PCB into the case back.
Connect the antenna.
Remove any pluggable screw terminals before wiring to them, then plug them in as needed. Connect inputs and outputs first, then keypad bus wiring (Data and Ground), then connect 12V DC.
This diagram shows a typical setup.
Confirm the KPB is flashing, the ERROR light is not flashing, and the GSM light is fully lit. Clip-on the case front. If the GSM light is on, your JVA Cellular Gateway is ready to use.
Cloud Router Configuration
Important – The GSM light must be fully lit before you can add devices to the Cloud Router system. If the light is off or flashing, it is not connected to the server. Refer to the Troubleshooting section for more information.
Ensure you have registered an account at https://cloudrouter.pakton.net/register. The activation email may have gone to your junk folder.
Log into your account at https://cloudrouter.pakton.net/login
When the GSM light is on, follow the instructions at http://jva- fence.com/CloudRouterGuide.php to set up your site and add your devices.
SMS Function
The PTE0320 Gateway can be controlled by SMS, and contact a report list of up to 10 numbers in case of an alarm, arm state change, or trouble. See htto:// jva-fence.com/sms for full instructions.
Most commands a prefixed with a configurable PIN. The default PIN is 1234 and is shown in examples in this guide.
Get signal information
During set-up, it may be useful to check signal strength and confirm unit
details. If the GSM light is blinking or lit, you can send an SMS to the unit
of
1234 g to receive a signal strength report.
Set AP N
In some countries, it may be necessary to manually set the provider APN information. This information allows cellular devices to connect to the internet and is specific to each telecommunications provider. The unit has been pre-programmed with the APN information of most major telecommunications providers so confirm with your local dealer if this step is necessary. You may need to contact your telecommunications provider to determine the correct APN settings.
To change the APN, first remove the default jumper J4. Now send an SMS to
the unit of the format apn
To clear custom APN settings and use the pre-programmed information, send the SMS API
Set PLMN
In some rare cases, your telco may require manual network selection. Contact your local dealer to confirm. If required, the network operator can be set at the same time as the app by sending an SMS in the format
plan <5 to 7 digit MCC/MNCs code >
where the pan, username, and password are optional and can be blank.
Report List
The unit can store up to 10 phone numbers which will SMS if an input changes or a device goes into alarm or goes offline. This list is configured and maintained using the add and remove commands. You can retrieve the current list of numbers using the command of the number.
Controlling Energisers and Outputs
The unit can turn all energizers on (arm) or off (disarm) by issuing the on or off commands. When arming, the unit will arm in high power only, and arm both channels of any dual channel energizers.
The unit has two relays that can be turned on, off, or pulsed for 1 second. Issue an output1 or output2 command with the parameter on, off, or pulse. Sending no parameter defaults to ‘pulse’. Note there is no space between “output” and the number “1” or “2”. The unit will reply with a confirmation message.
Gate By Ring Function
A gate motor connected to output 1 can be triggered by a phone call to the PTE0320. For security, it will only operate if the caller’s phone number is in the report list. The output will be a 1-second pulse.
To enable or disable this function, send an SMS to the unit of the format
1234 ring on
to enable the function, or
1234 ring off
to turn the function off (default).
Factory settings
To restore a unit to factory settings, power off the device. Remove J4.
Power the unit back on. After 5 seconds, the unit will have returned to
factory default settings. Re-fit J4.
Warning: This will remove all memory of seen devices, reset the SMS pin,
clear the SMS report list and custom APN/PLMN settings, and clear SMS only
mode and Gate-by-ring mode.

Troubleshooting
| Fault | Likely Cause | Remedy |
|---|---|---|
| No lights are on | Power is not connected Power wires are reversed |
Check power connections Check voltage at power connections with a multimeter
KPB light not flashing| Keypad bus is not connected| Check the keypad bus DATA
and GND connections
GSM light off or flashing| The system is still initializing. If problems are
detected, the ERROR light will give more information. If the GSM light is
flashing it means the unit is not yet connected to Cloud Router but can
receive SMS commands.
ERROR light flashing| 1 Flash: Problem with the SIM. SIM card faulty, not
inserted, or PIN locked|
Confirm SIM is activated by inserting it into a mobile phone and sending and receiving texts
| 2 Flashes: Cellular network problem SIM not activated, banned, or out of
credit Poor signal strength| Check SIM plan and credit Check antenna
connection Move antenna mounting place
| 3 Flashes: Cellular internet problem Plan does not support data, or out of
credit| Check SIM plan and credit
| 4 Flashes: Unable to connect to internet Plan does not support data, or out
of credit APN information incorrect| Check SIM plan and credit
Contact local dealer for APN information
| 5 or 6 Flashes: Hardware fault| Contact local dealer
The unit does not control energizers| Keypad ID clash| Disconnect the other
keypad or change its ID
| Energiser malfunction| Confirm a JVA keypad can control the energizer using
the same connections
| Group configured incorrectly| If there is more than one
energizer, ensure one is
configured as master (device ID 1) and the others have unique device IDs of 2 or more
If the unit is still not working correctly, contact your nearest JVA distributor for technical support.
