1 Introduction to PAA
1.1 Overview
The portable AISG adapter (PAA) is an adapter that enables users to control antenna line
devices (ALDs) using the PAA app. With a rechargeable battery inside, the PAA has a small
size and can be carried easily, facilitating onsite ALD installation, commissioning, and
maintenance.
APAA00001, the current PAA model, can provide working current toALDs and implement
conversions between bluetooth signals and RS485/OOK signals so thatALDs can be
controlled by using an app.
APAA00001 can be used to control all types of Huawei ALDs. If the PAA is to be used with
the ALDs supplied by peer vendors, you are advised to perform joint commissioning to
confirm their compatibility with each other.

3 Networking Guideline
3.1 Before Network Deployment
Before using the PAA, ensure that the following preparations have been made:
The AISG cable or RF cable has been connected to theALD.
The PAA app has been installed properly.
The battery inside the PAA is fully charged. If no, recharge the PAA or connect the PAA
to the power adapter.
The mode in which the PAA controls an ALD depends on theALD capability.
If theALD supports only the RS485 control mode, the PAA controls theALD over the
AISG port. For details, see section 3.2.1 "ALD Control over the AISG Port."
If theALD supports only the OOK control mode, the PAA controls the ALD over the
OOK port. For details, see section 3.2.2 "ALD Control over the OOK Port."
If theALD supports both OOK and RS485 control modes, the PAA selects the control
mode based on actual situations.
3.2 Typical Scenarios
3.2.1 ALD Control over the AISG Port
The AISG output port on the PAA is connected to theAISG input port on the ALD using an
AISG cable, as shown in Figure 3-1.

3.3 Procedure
Step 1 Select the networking drawing for cable connection based on the ALD capability.
Step 2 Power on the PAA. When the power indicator is steady on, the PAA is powered on properly.
If the PAA cannot be powered on, recharge the PAA by using the AC/DC adapter of the PAA.
When the PAA is being recharged, the power indicator blinks.
Step 3 Open the PAA app on the smartphone and then perform bluetooth pairing based on the
displayed messages. The bluetooth device name of the PAA consists of PAA and the last
eight characters of the bar code labeled on the back of the PAA. The bluetooth password is

4 System Maintenance
4.1 Routine Maintenance
During the use and maintenance of the PAA, its battery and shell must be protected.
4.1.1 Battery
The rechargeable battery inside the PAA is a lithium battery. Inappropriate use of the battery
may compromise its life cycle or even lead to safety risks.
The battery cannot be overly recharged or discharged. Otherwise, its life cycle is
compromised.
The PAA must be recharged and discharged at least once every one or two months if it is
not used for a long time.
The dedicatedAC/DC adapter of the PAA must be saved properly. Do not use other
models ofAC/DC adapters to recharge the PAA.
If the PAA is used without any external power supply, ensure that the PAA is fully
recharged.
The PAA must not be used or placed near high-temperature sources, such as fire or
heaters. Otherwise, the battery may be overheated, disconnected, or even fail, thereby
compromising the battery life.
The PAA cannot be used in places with strong electrostatic and magnetic fields.
Otherwise, the battery safety protection unit may be damaged, causing safety issues.
If the battery becomes smelly, overheated, discolored, or deformed, or any other
exception occurs during its use, storage, and recharging, remove the battery from the
PAA immediately and stop using the battery.
Unused batteries must be properly disposed. The electrical polarity can be wrapped up using insulation
material to prevent fire.
The battery may fail if either of the following conditions are met:
−The battery is fully recharged within 1 hour after the recharging starts.
−An alarm indicating low battery power is displayed within 0.5 hour after the battery is
used.
In this case, contact Huawei technical support to replace the battery.
The rechargeable battery inside the PAA is provided by the battery supplier specified by
Huawei. If the battery needs to be replaced, contact Huawei technical support.
