1Introduction

TheFP16204FemtocellAccessPointfromNECisoneofthemosttechnicallyadvanced3G
accesspoints,yetinstallationissimpleandstraightforward.
Pluggingthecompactunitintoyourbroadbandrouterorcablemodemwillgrantyour
existing3Gphoneordata‐cardexclusiveaccesstoitsown3Gaccesspoint.TheFemtocellis
likealow‐power3GequivalentofaWi‐Fihotspotthatworkswithallyour3Gdevices.Itcan
beconfiguredtohandlefour,eightorsixteenvoicecallsatthesametime.Thereisnoneed
toworryaboutdroppedcalls,poorvoicequalityorslowdataconnections,dependable
multi‐megabitspeedsarenowarealitywhereascoverageconcernsandnetworkcongestion
arethingsofthepast.
TheFemtocellhasnobuttonstopressandsimplyrequiresapowersourceandbroadband
dataconnectiontooperate.TheFemtocellautomaticallycommunicateswithacentral
managementsystemoverasecureInternetconnection.Ittakeslessthan10minutesto
registeranddownloadthelatestsoftware,afterwhichpointitwillbereadytohandleyour
firstcall.
ItisimportantthatyoureadeachsectionofthismanualbeforeoperatingtheFemtocell.
Pleasegiveparticularattentiontoalloperatinginstructionsandretainthemforfuture
reference.

2.2Location

TherangeoftheFemtocelldependsonanumberoffactorsincludingitslocation,
thenumberandtheconstructionofthewalls,andtheproximitytootherFemtocells.
Firstly,locateyournearestLANport,broadbanddatarouterorcablemodem,asthis
willneedtobeconnectedtotheFemtocell.
ItisworthspendingalittletimethinkingaboutwheretoplaceyourFemtocell.
Considerationsshouldincludewhereyouaremostlikelytomakeorreceivecalls:If
youwantedtotalktoeveryoneinyourhomeorofficewithoutshoutingtooloudly
thenwherewouldyoustand?ThatisprobablyagoodlocationfortheFemtocell.


Ideally,placeyourFemtocellsomewherecentralinanelevatedlocationandcloseto
awindow.
Forevenbettercoveragethroughoutthehome,theexternalGPSantennacanbe
connectedandplacedbyawindowtoallowtheFemtocelltobelocatedinamore
centrallocation.

3UsingyourFemtocell

3.1Howitworks
Traditionallyyourmobilephoneprovidesserviceusingalong‐distanceradio
connectionwithamobilephonenetwork.
TheFemtocellisamobileaccesspointthatseamlesslyreplacesthisservicewhen
youareindoors.Itusesyourbroadbandinternetconnectiontocommunicatewith
themobilenetwork,andbecauseitprovidescoverageindoorsitisverylowpower‐
similarorlowerthanthepowerusedbyaregularcordlesshomephone,Wi‐Firouter
orevenyourmobilephone.
Theresultisoutstanding3Gcoverageincludingdependable,high‐speeddata
serviceslikemusicdownloadandvideo.The3Gmobilenetworkdetectswhenyou
aremovingbetweentheoutdoornetworkandyourindoorFemtocellcoveragearea
andautomaticallyshiftsbetweenthetwowithoutanyinterventionrequired.
3.2Broadbandconnection
IncreasesinbroadbanddataspeedsovertelephonelinesandcableTVnowmakeita
viablemeanstotransportotherformsofdataaswellastheInternetandmusic
downloads.
TheFemtocellplugsintoyourbroadbandinterfaceandaccessesyourMobile
Operator’snetworkinasecuremannerjustlikethemobileequipmentyousee
outside.Thisensuresthatitfunctionsinexactlythesameway,offeringyouallthe
latest3Gservices.Aswithanymobileequipment,theFemtocellautomatically
connectstothenetworkwithoutyouhavingtopressanybuttonstocommunicate
withitviaacomputer.
SincetheFemtocellsharesyourbroadbandinterfacewithyourPCInternet
connection,ithastobeabletosupportbothsimultaneously.Ifyoufrequently
downloadlargeamountsofdatasuchasmusicfromtheInternet,werecommend
thatyourbroadbandspeedisbetterthan1Mbpsinthedownlinkdirectionand512
kbpsintheuplinkdirection.Additionallyifyourbroadbandrouteriscapableof
supportingClassofServicedataprioritisationthenyoucanconfigureittoprioritise
yourFemtocelldataandprovideabetterqualityofservicetoyourmobiledevice.

3.3IndicatorLights
TheindicatorlighttellsyouwhattheFemtocellisdoingandwhetherornotitis
experiencinganyproblems.Itcanbeeithergreentoshowitisoperatingproperly,or
redtohighlightaproblem.TheFemtocellcantakeupto10minutestoconfigure
itselfafterswitchingonforthefirsttime.Duringthisperiod,itcarriesoutanumber
6

ofself‐checksandconfiguresitselftogivebestcoverageinyourhomeoroffice.All
communicationsbetweentheFemtocellandthecentralmanagementsystemare
secureandcarriedoveryourbroadbanddataconnection.
Ifforanyreasontheindicatorlightisredthismeansthatthereisaproblem.Section
4containsinformationaboutthestateoftheindicatorlight,whatitmeans,and
whatactionsneedtobetaken.
3.4Privacy
TheFemtocellensuresyourprivacybynotlogging,recordingorreportingphone
calls,phonenumbers,datafiles,webpagesoranyotherinformationexceptas
requiredbyyourServiceProviderorMobileOperatorasanormalpartofitslegal
commitments.

3.5Emergencycalls
Likeotherphonesthatrequireapowersourcebutdonothaveabatterybackup,the
Femtocellshouldnotberelieduponasanonlymeanstomakea911emergencycall.

4Troubleshooting
TheRedIndicatorlightisusedtosignalaproblemwiththeunit.
IftheRedIndicatorlightisflashingthismeansthatthereisaproblemwhichyoucan
resolveyourself.Thenumberofflashesindicatesthetypeofproblemasshownin
thetablebelow.
IftheRedIndicatorlightisonbutnotflashingthenpleasecontactyourcustomer
carewhowillbeabletoassistyouwiththeproblem.
Numberof
flashes
ProblemResolution
1Noconnectionto
