Important information: Some of the services described
in this guide might not be supported by all networks.
Please, contact your network operator for
information on different network services operational
in your GSM network.
F250m
The F250m is a cost saving solution for small and
medium-size enterprises.
Connected to a PBX, the F250m can route outgoing
calls to mobile phones through the GSM network. As
a result, you can benefit from the Least Cost Routing
(LCR) capabilities offered by most PBX vendors for
an optimal use of your telephone expenses.
The F250m is compatible with most analogue PBXs
on the market and with most of the available 2B+D
ISDN (BR) digital output trunks, via the ISDN FI12
adapter.
From an end-user point of view no difference will be
perceived with the fixed line during the
communication process since the voice quality
achieved will perfectly emulate a fixed-line
transmission as a result of the Enhanced Full Rate
(EFR) speech codec.
The terminal allows automatic network searching
between GSM 900, GSM 1800 and GSM 1900
frequencies, ensuring world wide coverage in the
GSM network.
The terminal offers a broad range of GSM speech
services such as:
• Prepaid Subscription
• Calling Line Identification according to ETSI and
Bellcore standards
• Hook-flash functionality for GSM supplementary
services such as Call Waiting, Multiparty
Conference Calls and more (all depending on the
GSM network provision)
The Terminal provides a built-in SMS supervision
function that allows remote control and supervision of
the unit.

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!: the FCT has to be switched off before
inserting or removing your SIM card.

Connections
Warning!: please, before you start any connections
refer to section “Safe and Efficient Use” on page 40
in this guide and contact your network operator if
you have any questions.
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.
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
The PBX should meet the following generic
requirements for FCT connectivity:
• The PBX must provide analog trunks. Otherwise,
the ISDN FI12 adapter accessory will be necessary.
See Accessories on page 38).
• 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
Routing (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 FCT 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 Accessories on page 38.

Connections 11
FCT connectivity to the ISDN 2B+D trunk of the PBX
To carry out a correct FCT installation in a PBX,
please follow the FCT installation instructions
(Preparing your FCT and Installing the FCT on the
wall) and then refer to Using PBX on page 18.
Note: a minimum distance of 3 meters between the
FCT and the PBX is recommended. The cable
distance between the PBX and the FCT should not
exceed 600 meters, and the connection cable should
be at least 0,4 mm
2
.
Warning!: if you install more than one FCT to a
PBX, their antennas have to be separated by 20 cm
in height or 2 meters in horizontal.
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.
Warning!: in order to avoid GSM interferences
(noise), 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.

Preparing your FCT
You need to follow these steps before you install the
FCT on the wall and make all definitive connections.
Warning!: the FCT should be switched off before
inserting or removing your SIM card or connecting
any devices to the FCT.
Assembly
1. Connect the antenna.
2. Remove the front cover, pressing down and
pushing the small tab that is in the center of the
bottom part of the FCT. Open the SIM Card
holder shifting the mobile part of the holder and
then rotating it to place the connector upwards.
3. Close the SIM Card holder, placing it horizontally
and assuring it with the holder mobile part.
4. Optionally install the battery on the battery
compartment (over the SIM Card). To do so,
connect the battery cable to the FCT connector.
Connect the black cable to the negative pole of the
battery, and the red cable to the positive cable. Fit
the cable under the holding tab (over the SIM
Card) and insert the battery until it is hold by the
tab.
5. Place the front cover back in its previous position.
Connections 13
Connect a telephone to the FCT
Connect a fixed telephone to the FCT telephone line.
Note: you will use this telephone to dial the PIN.
Switch on the FCT
Connect the power supply. The FCT switches on
automatically and the green and red light indicators
start flashing.
Enter PIN
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 a PIN code, then
you do not need to enter the PIN. The FCT starts the
network search automatically.
If the SIM card is protected by the PIN code, then the
green and red lights will flash simultaneously.
Note: if you have the DA20 display adapter
accessory (See “Accessories” on page 38), an
“ENTER PIN” message will show on your display.
Please follow these steps 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 the telephone immediately and try again.
If the PIN is correct, you will hear a beep over the
telephone (positive indication tone). If it is incorrect,
a deep tone will sound (error indication tone).
If the PIN is entered incorrectly three times, the SIM
card will be blocked. If this happens, you can
unblock it by using the PUK (Personal Unblocking
Key), which you also get from your network operator.
See SIM Card Security on page 30.
14 Connections
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.
Network search
After you have switched on your FCT and entered the
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 32.
When a network is found, the green light switches on
or flashes depending on the GSM signal strength.
See Light Indicators on page 32.
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.
Installing the FCT on the wall
FCT Location
The GSM signal strength available at the FCT
location affects the performance of the unit. The
stronger the GSM signal, the better the FCT
performance.
T
ip: test several potential locations by moving the
FCT while looking at the green light . 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.
Location Testing

1 - - - Acceptable
2 - - - - - - Good
3 - - - - - - - - - Very good
