4 SIM CARD
Your network operator provides you with a SIM (Subscriber
Identity Module) card. The SIM card contains information
about your telephone number and the services included in your
subscription, among other things.
Warning!: switch off the FCT before you insert or remove
your SIM card.
5 CONNECTIONS
Warning!: please, before you start any connections refer to
section “Safe and Efficient Use” on page 57 in this guide and
contact your network operator if you have any question.
Warning!: to get a good FCT protection against electrical
discharges and the best audio quality, a good grounding of
the Power Supply is strongly recommended.
5.1 INSTALLING THE FCT AS A TELEPHONE LINE
The FCT is designed to provide a telephone line (RJ11
connector) to which up to 3 Fixed Line Devices can be
connected in parallel. The FCT provides a single telephone
line, which means that only one communication can take place
simultaneously, in the same way as the ordinary fixed line (you
cannot, for example, receive or originate a telephone call while
sending or receiving a fax).
Note: you may be able to connect up to 5 telephone devices
depending on their characteristics. See “Ring Back Test” on
page 17
9/70
Warning!: In order to avoid GSM interferences (noises),
place the FCT at least 3 meters (horizontal) away from
electronic devices, including the telephone equipment
connected to the FCT, or other household electronic devices
such as televisions or radio receivers. The difference in
height should be at least 2 meters (vertical). This is not
necessary if you use telephone devices that fulfil the
Immunity Characteristics settled by the IEC CISPR-24
standard. In this case, a minimum security distance of 20 cm
is recommended.
The FCT is also equipped with an RS232 port that enables you
to use it as a GSM modem for PC Fax, Data and SMS services.
For this specific configuration, please refer to the FCT Data
Kit (see “FCT accessories” on page 41).
5.2 INSTALLING AN FCT CONNECTED TO A PBX
The FCT is designed to provide a telephone line (RJ11
connector) that behaves in the same way as an Analog Trunk.
Generic requirements
10/70
The PBX should meet the following generic requirements for
FCT connectivity:
• The PBX must offer the possibility of analog trunks.
Otherwise, the ISDN FI12 adapter accessory will be
necessary. (see “FCT accessories” on page 41).
• One position of the trunk must be assigned to each FCT
terminal.
• The trunk card must support either Busy Tone Detection
(BTD) or Polarity Reversal Detection on answer and
release.
• The PBX can be programmed to utilize Least Cost Router
(LCR), if available, to automatically choose the FCT trunk
when suitable.
• If the PBX does not offer LCR, choose the FCT trunk
manually with a special dialed prefix.
The F251m terminal is compatible with most analog PBXs on
the market and with most of the available 2B+D ISDN digital
output trunks, via its accessory ISDN FI12 adapter (see “FCT
accessories” on page 41).
FCT connectivity to the ISDN 2B+D trunk of the PBX
Follow the FCT installation instructions next (“Preparing your
FCT” and “Installing the FCT on the wall”) and then refer to
“Using PBX” on page 24.
11/70
Note: it is recommended that there is a minimum distance of 3
meters between the FCT and the PBX. The maximum cable
distance between the PBX and the FCT should not exceed 600
meters, and the connection cable must be at least 0,4 mm2.
Warning!: if you install more than one FCT to a PBX, their
antennas have to be separated with a distance of 20 cm in
height or 2 meters in horizontal.
5.3 PREPARING YOUR FCT
You need to follow the following procedure before you install
the FCT on the wall and make all definitive connections.
Warning!: switch off the FCT before you insert or remove
your SIM card or connect any device to the FCT.
5.3.1 Assembly
1. Connect the antenna
2. Remove the front-cover. Open the SIM card holder and
place the SIM in the right position.
12/70
3. Close the SIM card holder and place the front cover back in
previous position.
5.3.2 Connect a telephone to the FCT
Connect a fixed telephone to the FCT telephone line.
Note: You will use this telephone for dialing the PIN number.
5.3.3 Switch on the FCT
Connect the Power Supply. The FCT switches on
automatically and the Green and Red light indicators start
flashing.
5.3.4 Enter PIN
13/70
Most SIM cards are protected with a PIN (Personal Identity
Number), which you get from your network operator and
which you need in order to access the network.
If the SIM card is not protected by the PIN code then you do
not need to enter the PIN and the FCT starts automatically the
Network Search.
If the SIM card is protected by the PIN code, then the Green
and Red light indicators flash simultaneously.
Note: if you have the DA20 display adapter accessory (See
“FCT accessories” on page 41), an “Enter PIN” message will
show on your display.
Follow the following procedure to enter the PIN:
Pick up the telephone and dial the PIN code. Press the #
key on your telephone or wait until you hear a beep tone.
If you make a mistake while entering your PIN, hang up
immediately the telephone down and try again.
If the PIN is correct, you will hear a beep over the telephone
(affirmative indication tone). If it is incorrect, a loud and low
tone will sound (error indication tone).
If your PIN is entered incorrectly three times, the SIM card
will be blocked. If this happens, you can unblock it by using
your PUK (Personal Unblocking Key), which you also get
from your network operator. See “SIM Card Security” on page
32
Note: once you have entered the PIN code for the first time
you will not have to enter it again unless you change your SIM
card. The FCT performs this operation automatically in case
of power failure.
5.3.5 Network search
After you have switched on your FCT and entered your PIN,
the FCT automatically searches for a network.
Note: if the Red Light is off, there is a problem with the power
supply. See “Troubleshooting and FCT indicators” on page 34
14/70
When a network is found, the Green Light Indicator switches
on or flashes depending on the GSM signal strength. (See
Light Indicators on page 6).
Note: if the Green Light is off you do not have access to the
GSM network at your present location.
Now you have prepared the FCT for wall installation. Please,
follow the instructions below for complete wall installation.
5.4 INSTALLING THE FCT ON THE WALL
5.4.1 FCT Location
The GSM signal strength present at the FCT location affects
the performance of the unit. The stronger the GSM signal is
the better for the FCT performance.
Tip: test several potential locations by moving the FCT while
looking at the Green Light indicator. Select the location where
the Green Light is steady, or the location with the highest
amount of flashes.
Note: moving the FCT as little as 20 cm can affect the GSM
reception quality.
Installation Location Testing
Number of Green Light flashes Location status
0 Unacceptable
1 - - - Acceptable
2 - - - - - - Good
3 - - - - - - - - - Very good
Steady ---------------------- Excellent
Please consider the following recommendations:
Select always an Indoor location, preferably close to a
window and the roof. Generally, you will experience better
GSM signal strength in these places.
15/70
Do not install the FCT in a bathroom, wet or damp
basement or in an outdoor location.
Do not install the FCT on walls or rooms that contain large
amounts of metal, steel or wiring.
Do not expose the FCT to extreme temperatures (near
radiators, cooling vents, etc).
If you experience poor reception quality, an outdoor antenna
may result in improvement. See “FCT accessories” on page 41
5.4.2 Wall mounting
Please proceed as indicated in the following picture.
1) Fix the wall mounting bracket on the wall
2) Insert the FCT in the wall mounting bracket
16/70
3) Press the FCT down
Warning!: once you have fixed the FCT to the wall and
switch it on, check the final status of the Red and Green
lights. If the Red and/or Green Lights are off, there is a
problem with the power supply or the GSM signal. See
“Troubleshooting and FCT indicators” on page 34
Now the FCT is ready for connecting devices and make calls.
17/70
Note: if you want to remove the FCT from the wall bracket
then you have to press the flap (step 1) as indicated in the
following picture. And then push the FCT upwards (step 2).
5.5 CONNECTING FIXED LINE DEVICES
Connect the fixed line devices to the FCT (Telephone Line
connector) with telephone wire in the same way as with an
analog telephone line.
Fixed line devices are connected in parallel to the telephone
cable. You can connect the devices directly to the FCT
Telephone line connector (RJ11) or make an internal telephone
wiring, use RJ11 splitters or similar connectors.

Fax
PC modem
Note: remember that you do not have to worry about the two
wire Telephone cable polarity when making connections; if the
two wires are reversed the FCT and the fixed line devices are
not affected at all.
Tip: if your house or company is already wired with telephone
cable, you only need to connect the cable to the FCT RJ11
connector and your telephone line will be up and running in all
rooms.
Note: it is strongly recommended that the telephone wire is
installed indoors in order to avoid lightning damage.
Note: the telephone wire should not exceed 600 meters. Larger
distances can be achieved by using high quality telephone
wire.
5.5.1 Checking connections
Once the fixed line devices (1 up to 3) have been connected,
make the “Ring Back Test” as follows in order to check the
connections:
Lift one telephone and dial **#10#. You will hear a beep
tone (the FCT Red and Green light indicators will start
flashing -three flashes synchronized).
Hung the telephone up and check if all the connected
telephones are ringing.
Lift any of the telephones connected and then pick it up
again. The ringing will stop (the red and green lights will
go to normal operation mode).
Tip: If any of the telephones has not been ringing, check your
telephone cable layout and connections to make sure that all
devices are properly connected.
5.5.2 Checking the calls quality:
19/70
Use any of the telephones connected to the FCT and make a
call. Check the speech quality and ask the receiver to call you
back to confirm that you can also receive calls.
If you have problems, see “Troubleshooting and FCT
indicators” on page 34
6 USING TELEPHONES
Fixed telephones connected to the FCT telephone line work in
the same way as if they were connected to a Fixed Network.
Note: you can also benefit from some FCT functionality that
you do not usually have on your fixed network. See “Advanced
features” on page 25
You can find more detailed information about the tones that
the FCT sends on “Audible Tones” page 37
7 USING CLI DISPLAYS
Devices for displaying incoming numbers (telephones with
display, external displays, etc.) can be directly connected to the
FCT line interface in the same way as an ordinary telephone. If
your subscription includes the Calling Line identification
(CLI) service and the caller´s network sends the number, the
FCT sends the caller´s number towards your CLI Display.
In general, your FCT will be programmed (according to your
country specifications) to send the CLI information with the
right standard so that your CLI device works properly.
Refer to your CLI Telephone or Display User Guide for
understanding your CLI indications.
Tip: if you run the “Ring Back Test” on page 17 (lift the
telephone, dial **#10# and hung up), you can check if the
following number “1234567890” appears on your CLI display.
If not, the FCT is not using the right standard.
If you experience that your CLI device is not showing the
calling numbers, you may need to change the FCT settings.
If you know the CLI standard used by your CLI device (check
the user guide from this device), you can dial directly the
specific sequence for this standard (see table below) from a
DTMF (Pulses) telephone connected to the FCT.
20/70
Otherwise, you can alternatively dial each of the following
sequences and check each time if the numbers appear on your
CLI display by conducting the “Ring Back Test” after a
specific sequence is dialed. You should find that one of the
three sequences allows you to visualize the number
“1234567890” on your display when the “Ring Back Test” is
conducted.
CLI standard Dialing sequence
ETSI DTMF **000*1#
ETSI V.23 **000*2#
Bellcore **000*3#
In order to disable the CLI Display functionality (not to see
CLI information anymore), dial **000*0# from a DTMF
(Pulses) telephone connected to the FCT.
Tip: if you do not want your telephone number to appear at the
caller’s location, you can dial the #31# before the phone
number you are going to call (B-number) (#31#B-Number)
To find out about the DA20 Display accessory, please check
“FCT accessories” on page 41.
21/70
8 USING FAX MACHINES
The FCT terminal allows the connection of Group 3 analog
faxes to the FCT telephone interface, in the same way as a
telephone.
Warning!: the fax communication service has to be
registered with your network operator, as the network will
not otherwise accept faxes to be sent/received.
8.1 SENDING A FAX:
The FCT terminal is programmed to automatically detect
outgoing calls made by an analog fax, meaning that the user
simply has to use the fax in the same way as a conventional
telephone line.
Warning!: if your fax is an old model and is not able to send
the fax identification CNG tone, you should include *01*
previous to the called number (B-number) in order to
indicate the FCT that the call to be made is a fax call
(Example: *01*B-number). This is not usually necessary, as
most faxes automatically send the CNG tone so that the fax
call is made automatically by the FCT.
8.2 RECEIVING A FAX
Incoming faxes are received in the same way as using the fixed
line.
Note: if you have a SIM card that does not support separate
voice and fax numbers, the FCT does not recognize the type of
incoming call. This means that the calling party will have to
warn you each time a fax is about to be sent. In this case, dial
*9901# to prepare your FCT to receive a fax call.
9 USING PCs
Analog modems connected to the FCT telephone line work in
the same way as if they were connected to the Fixed Network.
In this way, you can use your PC standard modem to make
22/70
data calls (Internet browsing, e-mail, etc.) through the FCT
line.
To be able to send and receive data calls, you need:
- a PC equipped with an analog modem and the appropriate
computer program (Web Browser, E-mail, etc). This is a
standard configuration for most PCs in the market.
- a SIM card that supports data transmission over the GSM
network.
Note: if you do not have a modem in your PC, the FCT can be
configured to act as a modem itself. This requires the
installation of the FCT modem drivers on your PC. For this
specific configuration, please refer to the FCT Data Kit (see
“FCT accessories” on page 41).
The FCT should be pre-configured with the settings from your
network operator. For detailed information on FCT data
configured settings, please consult your distributor or network
operator.
You can choose between two data access types (connection
methods):
GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) data: GPRS allows
fast and efficient access where you can be always online
(although you are only charged for the amount of
information that you exchange). You need a SIM card that
supports GPRS. Please contact your network operator for
charging subscription details.
GSM data: normally, you pay for all the time you are
connected. You need a SIM card that supports GSM data.
For fast and efficient access, try the GPRS access type.
9.1 GPRS DATA ACCESS TYPE
GPRS data access type allows you to make outgoing calls
only, usually to connect to the Internet.
Your GSM network operator provides you with an Internet
connection as part of the GPRS service.
23/70
Warning!: the GPRS data communication service has to be
registered with your network operator, as the network will
not otherwise accept GPRS calls.
If your SIM card supports GPRS, your network operator must
supply you with a user name and password in order to access
the GPRS network, and optionally, to improve the Internet
connection, a DNS address and a Proxy address.
You need to configure the Dial-up Networking program in
your PC in order to establish a GPRS connection.
Note: this procedure is similar to the way you configure an
Internet connection from a specific ISP (Internet Service
Provider).
If your network operator has provided you with an installation
guide, please follow the instructions included in the guide.
Otherwise, the present manual indicates the installation
process. As the Dial-up Networking is different for Windows
98 and Windows NT, two separate descriptions are provided.
See “ANNEX: PC Data Configurations” on page 44
If you encounter problems during installation, please contact
your distributor or network operator.
9.2 GSM DATA ACCESS TYPE
GSM data access type allows you to make both incoming and
outgoing data calls in the same way as with a fixed line.
Therefore, you can connect to the Internet using the same ISP
(Internet Service Provider) that you would use with a fixed
line.
The SIM card must support GSM data.
The network operator does not need to supply you with any
specific information, and it is your ISP the one that provides
you with the user name, password and installation information
in order to establish an Internet connection.
Please contact your ISP for installation instructions.
Note: your PC should be configured in exactly the same way
as if using the fixed line.
24/70
Tip: if you already have an Internet connection configured for
the fixed line, you do not need to make any changes, just
connect your PC to the FCT line instead of the fixed line.
Warning!: if your modem is an old model and is not able to
send the CNG tone, you should include *02* previous to the
called number(B-number) in order to indicate the FCT that
the call to be made is a data call (Example: *02*B-number).
This is not usually necessary, as most modems automatically
send the CNG tone so that the data call is made automatically
by the FCT.
Incoming data calls are received in the same way as using the
fixed line.
Note: if you have a SIM card that does not support separate
voice and data numbers, the FCT does not recognize the type
of incoming call. This means that the calling party will have to
warn you each time a data call is about to be made. In this
case, dial *9902# to prepare your FCT to receive a data call.
25/70
10 USING PBX
For a PBX connection, first, you should:
• Check that the PBX fulfills the requirements for FCT
connectivity (see “Installing an FCT connected to a PBX”
on page 8)
• Follow all FCT installation steps specified in “Preparing
your FCT” and “Installing the FCT on the wall” on pages
10 and 13
Warning!: the PBX may require specific programming; both
this and the FCT installation should be done by specialized
service personnel.
If you are using an analog PBX - Disconnect the telephone you
have used for testing purposes and connect the cable from the
chosen analog trunk of the PBX to the FCT telephone line.
If you are using a 2B+D ISDN digital PBX - Disconnect the
telephone you have used for testing purposes and follow the
instructions in the FI12 installation guide. (See “FCT
accessories” on page 41)
If you are using a Least Cost Routing (LCR) programmed
PBX, check your PBX programming guide to see how to
program your PBX to make certain calls through the FCT
trunk. Once LCR is programmed, make a call to a mobile
telephone number. See if the call is established through the
FCT and also check the speech quality. Ask the person who
answers to call you back to confirm that the installed FCT can
receive calls properly.
If the PBX does not offer the LCR option, choose the FCT
trunk manually with a specific prefix. Check the installation in
the same way as before.
If you encounter problems, please contact your Distributor or
network operator.
26/70

dust-free place.
16.2 ANTENNA CARE
• Use only an antenna that has been specifically designed for
your FCT. Use of unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could damage the FCT and may violate the
appropriate regulations, causing loss of performance and
radio frequency (RF) energy above the recommended
limits.
58/70
• Do not hold or touch the antenna when the FCT is in use.
Holding or touching the antenna affects call quality.
• Do not use the FCT if the antenna or antenna cable is
damaged or missing.
• Do not place the telephone cord or the power supply cord
on or near the FCT antenna or antenna cable.
• Do not cover or place an obstruction on or around the
antenna.
16.3 RADIO FREQUENCY ENERGY
Your FCT is a radio transmitter and receiver. When the FCT is
turned on, it receives and transmits radio frequency (RF)
energy. The system that handles your call when you are using
your FCT controls the power level at which your FCT
transmits.
All Ericsson terminals are designed to not exceed the limits for
exposure to RF energy set by national authorities and
international health agencies.
SAR (Specific Absorption Rate) measurements are usually
performed for products that are normally used at the ear. As
the FCT is not to be used close to the human body, as it is at
least 20 cm apart from the telephone device (See installation
instructions), SAR measurements are not applicable to the
FCT.
16.4 ELECTRONIC DEVICES
Most modern electronic equipment, for example equipment in
hospitals and cars, is shielded from RF energy. However,
certain electronic equipment is not, and so Radio Frequency
(RF) energy from the FCT terminal may affect some electronic
equipment, therefore:
• Do not use your FCT near medical equipment without
requesting permission.
• Do no use your FCT in aircrafts.
59/70
• Pacemaker patients should be aware that the use of an FCT
very close to a pacemaker might cause the device to
malfunction.
• Some hearing aids might be disturbed if placed very near
the FCT.
Multiple electrical devices connected to the AC power outlet
that is used by the FCT terminal may generate excessive
interference to the FCT terminal.
16.5 POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Do not use the FCT near a gas leak. Use a telephone away
from the area of the suspected gas leak to immediately report
it.
Turn off the FCT in areas with a potentially explosive
atmosphere, for example: gas stations, below deck on boats,
fuels or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where
the air contains chemical or particles, such as grain, dust or
metal powders. It is rare, but your FCT or its accessories could
generate sparks.
Do not transport or store flammable gas, liquid or explosives in
the areas where the FCT is installed.
16.6 POWER SUPPLY
• Ensure that your AC power outlet is adequately grounded.
• Connect the power supply cord only to the AC power
outlet that meet the specifications marked on the FCT
power supply.
• Never alter the AC power cord or plug. If necessary have
the correct outlet installed by a qualified electrician or call
your service provider for assistance.
• To reduce risk of damage to the electric cord, remove it
from the outlet by holding onto the AC adapter rather than
the cord.
60/70
• Make sure the cord is positioned so that it will not be
stepped on, tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage
or stress.
16.7 CHILDREN
DO NOT ALLOW CHILDREN TO PLAY WITH YOUR
FCT SINCE IT CONTAINS SMALL PARTS THAT COULD
BECOME DETACHED AND CREATE A CHOKING
HAZARD.
16.8 DISPOSING OF THE PRODUCT
The product should never be placed in municipal waste. Please
check local regulations for disposal of electronic products.
16.9 BATTERY INFORMATION
If you use the battery back-up function of the FCT, please take
into account the following information:
Lead Battery
• Before installing the battery in its compartment, be sure to
connect the battery cable properly: do not connect the
positive terminal of the battery cable to the negative
terminal on the battery.
• Make sure to connect the FCT power supply first, before
you connect the battery to the FCT.
• The FCT will automatically recharge the lead battery
• The first time the battery is used, it is recommended that
you charge it for 3 hours if you intend to power the FCT
from the battery only.
A rechargeable battery has a long service life if treated
properly.
61/70
Warning!: when a battery is not installed or is connected to
an FCT that is switched off, it should be recharged during 24
hours every 6 months.
• Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures, never
above +60°C. For maximum battery capacity, use the
battery in room temperature.
• Do not let the metal contacts on the battery touch another
metal object. This could short-circuit and damage the
battery.
• Do not expose the battery to open flames. This could cause
the battery to explode.
• Do not expose the battery to liquid.
• Do not allow the battery to be put into the mouth. Battery
electrolytes may be toxic if swallowed.
• Do not puncture or burn the battery. The battery contains
corrosive liquids and materials.
• If the battery leaks and the liquid inside spills on the skin
or clothing, immediately wash it off with plenty of clean
water. If the liquid splashes into eyes, immediately flush
the eyes with plenty of clean water and consult a doctor.
AA batteries
• Use only AA-1.5V alkaline batteries with the FCT battery
holder accessory. See “FCT accessories” on page 41
• If you use rechargeable AA batteries, these will need to be
recharged using an external charger, never in the FCT.
16.10 DISPOSING OF THE BATTERY
The battery should never be placed in municipal waste. Please
check local regulations for disposal of batteries.
16.11 MOVING OR STORING THE FCT
62/70
Turn off the FCT by disconnecting the power supply as well as
the battery (if it is installed).
If you are transporting the FCT on an aircraft, you will be
asked to remove the battery from the unit. For updated
information about the transportation and use of wireless
communication equipment, contact the appropriate local and
national regulatory agency or your service provider.
16.12 ACCESSING THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT

19 DEFINITIONS
The following definitions are supplied in order to better
understand certain concepts included in this manual:
Switch-on: power up the FCT by connecting the AC power
supply or a charged battery.
Switch-off: power down the FCT by disconnecting the AC
power supply or removing the battery.
Fixed Line Devices: any analog devices that can be connected
to the analog fixed line :
Fixed Telephones- ordinary telephones for the fixed line
G3 Faxes- ordinary fax machines available on the market
CLI devices- ordinary displays or telephones equipped
with displays that show the caller number for incoming
calls.
V.90 modems- standard modems for PCs used to make
data connections (Internet) over the ordinary fixed line.
Telephone Line: this is the line provided by the FCT (RJ11
connector) that behaves in the same way as the ordinary fixed
line.
Telephone Line Wiring: this is the cable layout that has to be
available in order to distribute telephone lines within a house
or office.
GPRS: General Packed Radio Service. This is a technology
for data communications that is ideal for e-mail or Internet
access as it provides a high speed “always online” connection.
This means that, although you are always attached to the
network, you only pay for the amount of data that you really
transmit.
PBX: Public Branch eXchange. It is a telephone system within
an enterprise that switches calls between enterprise users on
local lines while allowing all users to share a certain number of
external phone lines.
SIM card: this is the card provided by your network operator
that you need to insert in your GSM terminal in order to make
69/70
