1 Introduction The nanoLTE E61 AP from ip.access is a compact Small Cell that provides LTE TDD capability. The E61 AP is targeted at indoor enterprise applications. This manual provides important information on installing the E61 AP hardware. 1.1 Overview This manual is organised as follows: • This introduction • An overview of E61 AP installation, including site requirements • E61 AP hardware installation • Troubleshooting • Regulatory warnings and safety information 1.
2 Installation Overview and Requirements The topics in this section are: • 2.1 Installation Tasks • 2.2 Mounting Options • 2.3 nanoLTE E61 AP Site Requirements 2.1 Installation Tasks The tasks that must be completed to install a nanoLTE E61 AP and make it ready to provide service are: • Pre-Provisioning in the NOS • Commissioning • Site installation These tasks can be completed in any order.
2.2 Mounting Options The E61 is designed for wall or ceiling mounting on the supplied mounting bracket. The hardware installation procedure in section 4 is applicable to both options. 2.3 nanoLTE E61 AP Site Requirements The basic requirements are: • A mounting location for the E61 AP. • Power supplied via the supplied mains adaptor unit, which requires a suitable mains power supply point near the AP that is within reach of the adaptor’s cabling, or via PoE+ to each Ethernet socket.
2.3.2 AP Cooling Special attention must be given to ensure a AP will meet its air cooling requirements in its installed location. Take the following points into consideration for the physical location of an AP: • The AP must be installed where there will be proper air will flow through the body of the AP to provide cooling. • The AP MUST NOT be installed in an enclosed space where air flow is restricted.
AP in Commissioning Mode When the AP is in commissioning mode after a factory reset, this is the only time that the AP allows an inbound connection. The LTE AP takes the fixed IP address 192.168.0.10. The AP then listens for an incoming connection to the commissioning web page: Note: Protocol Destination Port Use tcp 8089 Commissioning web page The commissioning web page is only available if the LTE AP’s DOCP (obtained from the Redirector) indicates that the LTE AP should enable the web page.
Port Usage Without IPsec Without IPsec, the following ports are used: Protocol Destination Port Use sctp 36412 SCTP connection udp 2152 GTP to/from AP tcp 8080 or 7547 TR-069 to the NOS (the NOS listens for TR-069 connections on both ports) tcp 80 PM upload, software download, CRL download, AP diag upload This assumes the AP is on a secure network that does not need IPsec. For example, a self-contained test network. nanoLTE E61 AP Hardware Installation NANO_INST_43325 v205_0.6 for N4G_2.
2.3.4 nanoLTE E61 AP Power Requirements Maximum expected power consumption: • Approx 16W (Rated +12V on the DC input) The E61 AP uses power from a suitable DC source (+12V, 1.8A rated centre positive 2.1mm jack). Use the supplied mains adaptor only. Alternatively, provide PoE+ via the Ethernet connection. The mains power adaptor is not required in this case.
Optional PoE+ Injector If required, this must be ordered separately. The PoE+ injector has two Ethernet connections, one for connection to the main LAN, the other for connection to the AP. The PoE+ injector can be located anywhere on the cable run between the network switch and the AP, including locally at the AP or remotely at the network switch. The PoE+ injector is a pass-through connector for the LAN. Its function is to add PoE+ to provide power to the AP.
2.3.5 E61 AP Physical Requirements An E61 AP is installed by attaching its mounting bracket to a wall or ceiling, then fitting the AP onto the mounting bracket. Pay attention to ensure that air can circulate freely around the unit. 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.
2.3.6 Thermal Protection The E61 AP may become warm during normal operation. Ensure the AP is in a location where it will be at least 20cm away from personnel and any items that may be heat sensitive. 2.3.7 Backhaul (IP) Bandwidth Requirements At maximum capacity and with IPsec in use, the E61 AP requires: • Downlink: 110Mbps • Uplink: 10Mbps This will provide bandwidth for 32 users. 2.3.
3 nanoLTE E61 AP Commissioning Use the procedures in this section to configure the E61 AP with the settings it needs to establish a connection with its serving NOS Server. Once commissioning is complete, use the NOS Client for any remaining configuration and to bring the AP into service. There are two LTE AP commissioning methods: • Redirector Only Commissioning The Redirector supplies the NOS connection parameters in the DOCP.
3.
• Optionally, Traffic Selector information (IP address and subnet mask) A traffic selector defines a range of IP addresses that are sent through the IPSec tunnel. This allows an extra degree of control over the traffic that is passed down the IPSec tunnel. Normally, the IPsec Gateway controls this range and no other configuration is needed. • NTP server address This is the address of an NTP server from which the LTE AP can obtain its clock time on startup.
3.2 Redirector First Contact and NTP Synchronisation for Software Update The LTE AP must be connected to the Internet at least once so that it can obtain its unique OLM Package from the Redirector. If the LTE AP has not yet downloaded its OLM package, it will not be possible to use the commissioning web page. NTP synchronisation is necessary when there is also a requirement to update the LTE software using the commissioning web page. This applies regardless of the current software load on the LTE AP.
3.3 Configure a Commissioning Terminal Use this procedure to configure a Windows® computer used as a commissioning terminal so that it has an IP address in the same address space as the LTE AP. 1) Open the Windows Control Panel on the commissioning terminal. 2) Go to Network Connections. 3) Right-click the relevant Local Area Connection and select Properties. 4) In the list of items on the General tab, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click Properties.
3.4 Access the Commissioning Web Page for the LTE AP The commissioning web page is only accessible after performing a factory reset. The login prompt for this web page is available for 10 minutes, after which the LTE AP will attempt to boot normally. 1) Plug an Ethernet cable into the AP that is connected to a network that allows the AP to connect to the Internet. 2) Plug in the power supply unit that is in the box with the AP to a mains outlet and the AP. The AP will start up.
9) 3.5 Enter the commissioning user name and the password (supplied separately for security reasons). After entering the correct user name and password, the LTE AP Commissioning page appears: Optional - Software Download If it is necessary to download a software package to the AP, this must be done before configuring the connection to the NOS Server. This can only be done if the commissioning terminal is running a web server that provides a path to any ip.access AP software download packages.
2) Near the top of the main page, click the Update button next to the current software version. The web page for downloading software will be shown. This also provides full details about the current software installed on the LTE AP. For example: 3) In the SDP File URL text box, enter the URL for the SDP file stored on the commissioning terminal. For example: http://192.168.0.2/webservername/440K007__signed.sdp Where is the actual build version of the required software package.
3.6 Configure the Connection to the NOS Server 3.6.1 Static IP Configuration Obtaining an IP address with DHCP is recommended for the E61 AP, and this is selected by default. Only execute this section if static IP configuration is needed. Do this first. 3.6.2 11) If static IP is required, click the Change button next to the Address Type box. 12) Edit the IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS Server Address parameters as needed.
3.6.3 Configure the TR-069 Management Connection 3) Enter addresses for the NOS Server (or equivalent TR-069 ACS) in the ACS Address field. 4) In the CRL Base Server URL, enter the URL for contacting a CRL mirror server. Note: 5) 6) This is the "base URL" as the AP constructs a full URL of the CRL update file to obtain on contacting the server.
3.7 Commissioning Complete Commissioning the LTE AP is now finished. From this point on, the LTE AP must be managed from the NOS Client, via the NOS Server. If the LTE AP has not been pre-provisioned in the NOS Server, it must be pre-provisioned and configured before it is can enter service. For information about LTE AP pre-provisioning, see [INST_13400]. 3.7.1 Completed On Site Commissioning If commissioning has been done on site, continue to the on-site hardware installation procedure (section 4).
4 nanoLTE E61 AP Hardware Installation The topics in this section are: • 4.1 Unpack the E61 AP • 4.2 Cable Connections • 4.3 Mount the E61 AP on a Wall or Ceiling 4.1 Unpack the E61 AP 1) Unpack the AP and its accessories.
4.2 Cable Connections The AP requires power and an Ethernet connection. These can be provided discretely from a power adaptor (as supplied) and a standard CAT5 Ethernet cable or with a single Ethernet cable carrying PoE+. Two power supply modules are available from ip.access, designed for use with the ip.access E61 AP, that are compliant with the IEEE 802.
4.2.2 Optional PoE+ Injectors The AP can be up to 100m from the switch/gateway to the backhaul, but allow approximately 0.1m for routing through the injectors. The injectors can be positioned anywhere on this cable run. Hence the injectors can be at the most convenient point for providing power, without restricting the location of the AP.
4.3 Note: Mount the E61 AP on a Wall or Ceiling The E61 AP should be installed in a position so that it is at least 2m away from the area where handsets are normally used. The location of each E61 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. The network wiring must be complete before the E61 AP can be installed.
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 or ceiling. 5) Before fitting the AP onto the bracket, plug in the required cables. Plug the Ethernet cables from a switch/gateway into the RJ45 sockets. If the Ethernet cables do not carry PoE+, also plug the power supply into the +12V DC input. Also, if required, connect a GPS source to the GPS port.
5 Troubleshooting This section covers the following topics that may be useful for troubleshooting an E61 AP during installation: • 5.1 E61 AP Does Not Power Up • 5.2 E61 AP LEDs • 5.3 Factory Reset 5.1 E61 AP Does Not Power Up Check the following: • Verify the correct power supply is in use and that mains power is available. or • Ensure that the Ethernet socket has PoE+ (PoE Plus, not PoE) to power the AP. 5.
The nanoLTE E61 AP has the following LEDs: LED Colour Off The S2D is not switched on. Green The LED may be Red or Green during the first 2 seconds after powering up, while the E61 AP is initializing. After this, Green indicates that the AP is powered up normally. Red The LED should only be Red briefly once the 2 second initialization period is complete. If the LED continues to stay Red after this, this means there is a fault with the AP.
LED Colour Description Off The LED is Off if the AP has not yet achieved GPS lock or if the AP has lost GPS lock. Note: If the AP is configured to use GPS synchronisation, it will not start transmitting if it cannot obtain GPS lock and similarly will stop transmitting if it loses GPS lock. Green This LED is Green when the AP has achieved GPS lock. The E61 AP has a GPS connector on the back panel for an external GPS antenna.

5.3 Factory Reset First ensure that all other possibilities have been explored and eliminated before trying to Factory Reset the AP. A factory reset will clear the AP’s configuration, for example as supplied to the AP by the NOS (or TR-069 ACS if the NOS is not used). Hence the AP will be reset to the following configuration after a factory reset: • Factory configuration data that cannot be removed, which includes: • The AP’s Equipment ID (EID) • The FQDN for the ip.access NTP services hosted by ntp.
