1 About Your Small Cell
The Cisco Universal Small Cell (USC) 7330 is an indoor small
cell that provides Wideband Code Division Multiple Access
(WCDMA) coverage and capacity to public areas where macro
networks are not cost-effective. The USC 7330 supports up to
16 active third-generation (3G) users and supports Band 2/5 for
the American market and Band 1 for the rest of the world.
Package Contents
Your Cisco USC 7330 small cell is shipped with the following:
•Power supply unit—European Union (EU) compatible type
plug for Band 1 and US compatible plug for Band 2/5.
Other plug types must be ordered separately.
•Suspended ceiling mount bracket—to mount the small cell
on a ceiling.
•Rail mounting accessory pack, including screws.
•Ethernet cable.

2 Before You Begin
Consider where you want to install your new small cell. The
ideal location is:
•somewhere central, away from windows—this will allow
your small cell to provide the best possible coverage.
•at least one 30 cm (1 foot) from other wireless broadcasting
devices to avoid possible interference.
•where you can connect to your broadband router or cable
modem.
Decide whether you will mount your small cell on a wall or
ceiling, or whether you will place it on a desktop or other flat
surface.

Caution The fasteners you use to mount an access point on
a ceiling must be capable of maintaining a
minimum pullout force of 20 lbs (9 kg) and must
use all indented holes on the mounting bracket.
Caution This product and all interconnected equipment
must be installed indoors within the same building,
including the associated LAN connections as
defined by Environment A of the IEEE 802.af
Standard.
Note Your small cell is suitable for use in environmental air
space in accordance with section 300.22.C of the
National Electrical Code and sections 2-128,
12-010(3), and 12-100 of the Canadian Electrical

Step 1 Connect one end of the network cable to the small cell
Ethernet port and the other end to your broadband
router or cable modem.
Step 2 Connect the power adaptor to the power port and then
switch on at the mains.
Step 3 (Optional) If you have a Band 2/5 small cell, you can
connect a GPS antenna to the GPS port.
Step 4 (Optional) You can connect an external antenna. For
the USC7330-T1-K9, connect an external antenna for
the Sniff bands (Bands 3 and 8) to connector 5 and
connect the external antenna for Band 1 to connector 6
(Figure 2). For the USC7330-T2-K9, connect an
external antenna for Band 5 to connector 5 and connect
the external antenna for Band 2 to connector 6
(Figure 2).

Step 5 Wait ten minutes for your small cell to be ready to use.
The status LED stops flashing green and becomes solid
green when your small cell is ready to use.
5 Mount Your Small Cell
Mounting on a Wall or Hard Ceiling
If you need to mount your small cell on a wall or hard ceiling,
hang it on two screws projecting from the surface. Attach the
screws to the wall or ceiling such that the distance between the
screws matches the distance between the mounting holes on the
back of your small cell.

Mounting on a Suspended Ceiling
If you need to mount your small cell on a suspended ceiling,
follow these steps:
Step 1 Place your small cell on a clean, flat surface with the
bottom side facing you.
Step 2 Take two screws from the accessory kit and screw them
into each of the two corresponding holes on the bottom
of the small cell.
Step 3 Attach the suspended ceiling bracket to the ceiling rail
system using the two “L” brackets included in the
accessory pack and eight screws.
Step 4 Place the small cell such that the attached mounting
screws fit into the suspended ceiling bracket keyhole
mounting slots.
Step 5 Slide the small cell onto the mounting bracket until it
clicks into place.

Mounting on a Suspended Ceiling Using an
Existing Bracket
If you have an existing Low-Profile AP bracket
(AIR-AP-BRACKET-1) attached to a suspended ceiling that you
want to use for your Cisco USC 7330, perform this task:
Step 1 Connect the suspended ceiling bracket to your small
cell as described in Mounting on a Suspended Ceiling,
page 13: perform Step 1, Step 2 and Step 4 to Step 6.
Step 2 Screw the four metal feet into the four corresponding
holes on the bottom of the suspended ceiling bracket.
The rubber feet attachments are not required.

Step 3 Attach the USC 7330 small cell to the Low-Profile AP
bracket (AIR-AP-BRACKET-1) as described in Access
Point Mounting Instructions:

access_point/mounting/guide/apmount.html
Step 4 Fasten a padlock to secure the small cell to the brackets
and prevent theft. See “Securing the Access Point to the
Mounting Plate” for more information.

Mounting in a Plenum Space
To mount your small cell in a plenum space, you have two
options:
1. Connect the suspended ceiling bracket to a secure location
in the plenum space and then connect your small cell to the
suspended ceiling bracket as described in Mounting on a
Suspended Ceiling, page 13: perform Step 1, Step 2 and
Step 4 to Step 6.
2. Connect your small cell to the suspended ceiling bracket as
described in Mounting on a Suspended Ceiling Using an
Existing Bracket. Then connect this to another bracket as
described in Access Point Mounting Instructions:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/partner/docs/wireless/
access_point/mounting/guide/apmount.html.
