Generic requirements FCT connectivity to the analogue trunk of the PBX
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 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

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 mm2.
Warning!: if you install more than one FCT to a

• 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

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

Phonebook (abbreviated dialing)
You can store telephone numbers in either the SIM card memory or the FCT memory. Up to 99 telephone
numbers can be stored in each of them.
The following table shows how to manage the phonebook with the 99 memory positions (Pos).

Two voice lines (alternate line service)

If your SIM card supports the alternate line service, your FCT has two voice lines with different phone
numbers, separate bills and perhaps different subscription services.
With this functionality, you can have only one FCT and telephone for both your personal and work phone, for
instance. If necessary, you may switch from one line to the other.
You will receive all the incoming calls addressed to any of your numbers independently of the selected line, but
your outgoing calls will be charged to the line you have selected (1 or 2).
Warning!: these dialing sequences may vary depending on your network operator. If these do not work,
please consult your network operator or check the user guide provided with your subscription.
