1 Introduction The ip.access nanoLTE AP is an indoor Access Point for enterprise small cell applications. This manual provides all the necessary information required for hardware installation of a nanoLTE AP. 1.
2 Installation Overview and Requirements 2.1 Installation Tasks The tasks that must be completed to install a nanoLTE AP and make it ready to provide service are: • Pre-Provisioning • Site installation These tasks can be completed in any order. In most cases, however, the most practical approach is to pre-provision an AP before site installation. The procedures for these activities are provided in the AP Configuration Manual [INST_43370]. 2.1.
2.2 Requirements for All nanoLTE APs This applies to all nanoLTE APs. 2.2.
2.2.3 Port Usage This information is provided in case it is needed for configuring local on-premises equipment, especially any hardware firewalls between the AP and the rest of the backhaul network. All connections are outgoing. That is, they are initiated from the AP. Port usage has some dependency on whether or not the AP is using IPsec.
2.3 nanoLTE E40 AP Site Requirements In addition to the site requirements for all APs, each E40 AP will require: • A site for wall mounting • Power supplied via the supplied mains adaptor unit, supplied separately, which requires a suitable mains power supply point near the AP that is within reach of the adaptor’s cabling. 2.3.1 nanoLTE E40 AP Power Requirements Maximum expected power consumption: • 20 Watts (Rated +12V on the DC input) The E40 AP uses Direct power from a suitable DC source (+12V, 2.
2.3.2 E40 AP Physical Requirements An E40 AP is installed by attaching its mounting plate to a wall or partition with screws, then sliding the rear surface of the AP onto the mounting plate. Pay attention to ensure that air can circulate freely around the unit. The unit must be vertical. It is recommended to install the AP with its front surface facing the area requiring cellular coverage, unobstructed by walls or partitions that may cause significant RF attenuation.
3 nanoLTE E40 AP Hardware Installation 3.1 Unpack the E40 AP 1) Unpack the AP and its accessories. Box contents may vary, but typically the box should contain the following: • E40 AP unit with wall bracket attached • Extraction tool for removing the AP from its wall bracket • Mains power supply unit 2) Check that the serial number on the AP unit matches the label on the box. 3) Check that the items have not been damaged in transit.
3.2 Removable Connector and Antenna Cover The E40 AP has one removable cover. 1) Place the unit on a flat surface. To locate the clips holding the antenna cover, inspect the underside of the unit: 2) With the unit face up, gently squeeze each of the clips holding the antenna cover until they are all undone. Do not apply excessive force. nanoLTE AP Hardware Installation NANO_INST_43311 v101_0.2 for N4G_1.1 © ip.
3) Lift off the cover: 4) To refit the cover, simply place it in position and press down gently until the cover securely snaps into place. The antennas must be oriented perpendicular to the unit, as shown, so that the cover fits correctly without stressing the connectors. To fit external antennas, first remove the plastic cover from the antenna side of the unit. Unscrew the antennas to expose the SMA connectors. Connect external antennas directly to the SMA connectors.
3.3 Cable Connections The nanoLTE E40 AP requires an Ethernet cable connection to the backhaul and power from the mains via the supplied power adapter: E40 AP Mains Input Backhaul Network to NOS and EPC 12V DC cable to AP LAN Cable to nearest switch/gateway (max 100m) A mains socket providing power to the AP must be within reach of the cabling included with the PSU. This is typically less than 1.5m. The PSU for the E40 AP is supplied. Note: The nanoLTE E40 AP cannot be powered with PoE or PoE+.
3.4 Note: Mount the E40 AP on a Wall The E40 AP should be installed in a position so that it is at least 2m away from the area where handsets are normally used. The E40 AP must be mounted vertically to ensure air circulation around the unit. The location of each E40 AP should be shown on an installation floor plan produced at the network planning stage. For example, it must take into account that all APs must be at least 2m from any mobile equipment.
3) Mark the position of the four screw holes. 4) Drill the four holes in the positions marked previously and insert wall plugs (if required) and fix the mounting bracket securely to the wall. 5) Slide the E40 AP onto the bracket and ensure that the retaining spring engages into the indent at the rear of the unit. 6) Remove the cover to reveal the cable ports and LEDs. 7) Plug in the required cables.
4 Troubleshooting This section covers the following topics that may be useful for troubleshooting APs during installation and commissioning: • 4.1 nanoLTE E40 AP Does Not Power Up • 4.2 nanoLTE E40 AP LEDs • 4.3 Factory Reset For more information on AP troubleshooting, see [TRB_43005]. 4.1 nanoLTE E40 AP Does Not Power Up Check the following: • Verify the correct power supply is in use and that mains power is available.
4.2 nanoLTE E40 AP LEDs The following table shows the meaning of the status indicators under normal and fault conditions. Power Service Off The nanoLTE AP is not switched on. Green The nanoLTE AP is powered up normally. Red There is a fault with the nanoLTE AP. Off The nanoLTE AP is not provisioned, it has no IP address. This may be a temporary condition when the AP is switched on for the first time, or after factory reset.
4.3 Factory Reset Only use a factory reset when there is no other way to repair the AP connection to either the IPsec SecGW and/or the NOS Server. First ensure that all other possibilities have been explored and eliminated. A factory reset will clear the configuration supplied to the AP by the NOS (or TR-069 ACS if the NOS is not used).
If all these Default values are null, this means that the AP has never connected to the NOS, so it has been unable to inform the NOS with these values. In this case, check the AP’s ability to connect to the Field Redirector and the IPsec SecGW. For example, ensure any on-site firewall is allowing the AP to connect to the Internet and also allows IPsec to pass through. If the default values are populated, this shows means the AP has been able to connect at least once.
4.3.1 E40 Factory Reset 1) Use a thin rod to press and hold the reset button. 2) Keep the reset button pressed until the Service LED changes from blinking fast (50ms on, 50ms off) to blinking slowly (50ms on, 200ms off). The 4G Service LED blinks fast (50ms on, 50ms off) until the factory reset commences, then it blinks slowly (50ms on, 200ms off). When the factory restore process is complete, the LED extinguishes and the AP automatically reboots, takes the fixed IP address for commissioning.
5 nanoLTE AP and PSU Regulatory Information This chapter provides the customer with safety and regulatory warnings, cautions and information for the ip.access Ltd range of products. • 5.1 Warnings and Cautions • 5.2 Hardware Equivalence for 248 and 278 Product Variants • 5.3 Regulatory Statements for nanoLTE E40 AP • 5.4 Regulatory Statements for PSU 5.1 Warnings and Cautions Electrical Safety CAUTION The nanoLTE AP is intended for dry indoor applications only.
CAUTION When disconnecting the power supply from the mains, pull the plug. Pulling the cable may result in damage to the cable. Interference with Electronic Devices CAUTION If using a pacemaker, ensure you are using the device in accordance with its safety requirements with respect to RF devices. Consult your doctor if you have questions about RF signals and your pacemaker. CAUTION If using a hearing aid, RF devices may cause interference.
5.2 Hardware Equivalence for 248 and 278 Product Variants The 248 and 278 product variants have an identical hardware build for each set of supported bands. Hence the hardware build is identical in each of these cases: • 248J and 278J • 248L and 278L • 248M and 278M The only difference between 248 and 278 variants is that internal fuses within the processor are configured on the 278 variants in order to store unique security information, allowing the product to boot up securely.
