Welcome
The FMT3251 provides enhanced mobile voice and data service within
the building. It delivers high quality voice calls and faster, more reliable
mobile data service. It connects to your broadband Internet service to
deliver extended indoor mobile network coverage. The in-building mobile
phone connectivity, signal quality, and data bandwidth will greatly
improve, especially if the building is in a remote area or out of adequate
mobile phone tower range.
Your FMT3251 can also function as a wireless AP (Access Point),
extending the range of your existing wired network without additional
wiring, providing easy network access to mobile users.
Inside this packaging you will find: the FMT3251, an Ethernet cable, a
stand and an AC power adaptor. The FMT3251 has a zero touch set-up
process. Just install as detailed in this guide and it connects to your
mobile phone automatically whenever your phone is within range.
Before you begin you need to make sure you have the following:
• High Speed Internet service and an available Ethernet LAN port on
your router.
• An available power socket or electrical outlet.

Quick Setup
Installing the Device is simple and can be completed within 5 to 20
minutes. The following instructions will guide you through the Quick
Setup process.
1. Find a central location in your building or office to install the device.
The Device emits a radio signal similar to a Wi-Fi router. The quality of
the coverage you will experience depends on where the device is
located and it should be placed:
• In a central area of your building.
• As high as possible; on top of tall furniture, shelves, cabinets, etc.
To improve coverage the following should be avoided:
Installing near other radio transmitters
Installing near metallic devices such as radiators
Installing near a window
2. Device placement:
The Device should be placed free standing on a flat sturdy surface.

9
First, power up your DSL router. Connect the Ethernet cable to an
available Ethernet port on your DSL/Cable router.
Then connect the other end of the Ethernet cable to the Device LAN1
port. Connect the power adaptor cable into the jack named Power, and
then plug the power adaptor to an AC socket.
After a few seconds the Power status indicator lights up, and the
Ethernet port status indicators on both the Device and the DSL/Cable
router should light up green (flash green). After 60 seconds the Ethernet
port status indicator light on the Device will automatically shutdown.

10
For free standing installation, place the Device in the stand as shown.
3. Broadband Connectivity:
After approximately two minutes, the Device Internet status indicator
will begin to pulse.
4. Automatic Software Update:
After the device establishes a broadband connection to your Internet
Service Provider (ISP), the Device automatically updates its software.
This process takes about 15 minutes and the Internet status
indicator pulses during this period.
After the device retrieves its software update package, it reboots
automatically.
During reboot, the Power status indicator is on.
5. Auto-configuration:
