F221m The F221m is the best quality solution for providing access to fixed services either when no traditional fixed infrastructure is available or if an additional phone line is required. With the F221m terminal, the user does not have to wait for the fixed telephone network infrastructure to be developed, as long as GSM services are available in the area.
External connectors and light indicators SIM card Antenna connector GSM radio indicator (green led) SIM card holder Power indicator (red led) Power connector Telephone interface RS232 port Reset Maintenance connector 8 External connectors and light indicators / 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.
Connections Warning!: please, before you start any connections refer to section “Safe and Efficient Use” on page 49 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.
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. 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.
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. 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.
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. See Light Indicators on page 33. Note: if the green light is off, you do not have access to the GSM network at your present 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 Accessories on page 39. 2) Insert the FCT in the wall-mounting bracket Wall mounting Please proceed as indicated in the following picture.
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” on page 33. Now the FCT is ready for connecting devices and making calls. 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 shift the FCT upwards (step 2).
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 Checking the calls quality Use any of the telephones connected to the FCT to make a call. Check the speech quality and ask the receiver to call you back to confirm that you can also receive calls.
Using telephones Fixed telephones connected to the FCT telephone line work in the same way as if they were connected to a fixed network. Warning!: you will not be able to make or receive data or fax calls while a speech call is ongoing. Note: you can also benefit from some FCT functionality that you do not usually have on your fixed network. See “Advanced features” on page 22. You can find detailed information about the tones that the FCT sends on Audible tones page 36.
Using CLI displays Devices that display the incoming number (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 will send the caller´s number towards your CLI display.
Using fax machines The FCT terminal allows the connection of Group 3 analog faxes to the FCT telephone line, in the same way as a telephone. Warning!: the fax communication service has to be registered with your network operator. Otherwise, the network will not allow faxes to be sent or received.
Using PCs Analog modems connected to the FCT telephone line work in the same way as if they were connected to the fixed line. In this way, you can use your PC standard modem to make 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.
optionally, to improve the Internet connection, a DNS address and a Proxy address. All these settings will allow you 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.
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 inform 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.
Advanced features If a DTMF telephone is connected to the FCT, the following features can be accessed. Changing volume During a call, you can increase or decrease the reception volume level. • Increase volume: dial R# # # # • Decrease volume: dial R**** Diverting calls (call forward) You can divert incoming calls to another phone number when you are unable to answer.
