  • Page 11: Preparing Your Fct

    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 Reference Manual. See Accessories on page 39. Preparing your FCT You need to follow these steps before you install the FCT on the wall and make all definitive connections.
  • Page 12 Connect a telephone to the FCT Connect a fixed telephone to the FCT telephone line. Important: 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.

  • Page 13: Installing The Fct On The Wall

    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 33. When a network is found, the green light switches on or flashes depending on the GSM signal strength.
  • Page 14 • 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.

  • Page 15: Connecting Fixed Line Devices

    Warning!: once you have fixed the FCT to the wall and switched it on, check the final status of the red and green lights. If either one is off, there is a problem with the power supply or the GSM signal. See “Troubleshooting and FCT indicators”...
  • Page 16 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. Checking connections Once the fixed line devices (1 up to 3) have been connected, make the “Ring Back Test”...
