N3G_INST_300 v14.0 for N3G_2.85 © ip.access Limited 2012 Page 1
1 Introduction
The ip.access nano3G AP is an indoor Access Point for enterprise applications.
This manual provides all the necessary information required to install an ip.access nano3G
AP. The manual provides step-by-step instructions for hardware installation and
configuration steps required to bring a nano3G AP into service.
The AP can be configured with a static IP address or it can obtain an IP address
dynamically via DHCP. The AP-NOS Server and AP-AC connections can be configured to
be secure (via IPSec and a security gateway) or unsecured.
1.1 Overview
This manual is organised as follows:
• This introduction
• An overview of AP installation, including installation requirements for all AP
variants and specific requirements for each AP model
• AP pre-provisioning in the NOS Server using the NOS Client
• AP configuration file preparation - this is supplementary information for
pre-provisioning
• Commissioning an AP for connection to its serving NOS Server
• AP hardware installation
• Optional activities to finalize installation
• Installation troubleshooting
• Regulatory warnings and safety information
1.2 User Requirements
It is assumed that any readers that will use the NOS Client already know how to:
• Start the NOS Client
• Navigate the Explorer Pane to find an AP object
It is also assumed that the any readers that will use the NOS Client will have suitable user
privileges for the NOS Client.
Refer to [OPM_415] for information on using the NOS Client.

2 Installation Overview and Requirements
2.1 Installation Tasks
There are three tasks that must be completed to install a nano3G AP and make it ready to
provide service:
• Pre-Provisioning
• Commissioning
• Site installation
These tasks can be completed in any order. In most cases, however, the most practical
approach is to provision and commission an AP before final site installation.
2.1.1 Pre-Provisioning
Pre-provisioning means to provide configuration details for a nano3G AP prior to site
installation. As an AP’s configuration is stored on its serving NOS Server, an AP can be
pre-provisioned at any time. This offers maximum flexibility for pre-provisioning an AP as far
or as little ahead of site installation as is needed. Pre-provision a nano3G AP with the
information it needs to allow it to provide service, such as a serving AC address, neighbour
lists, operating frequency and network identity details.
It is recommended to perform at least some pre-provisioning for an AP before on site
installation. As a minimum, use the Create Site Wizard in the NOS Client to create a site
and AP object on the serving NOS Server that will contain the AP’s configuration. If an AP
attempts to connect to its serving NOS Server, but the NOS Server has not yet been
provisioned with site details for the AP, the NOS Server will raise alarms about attempts to
connect by an unknown AP.
For more information about AP pre-provisioning, see 3 Pre-Provisioning a nano3G AP.
2.1.2 Commissioning
Use the nano3G AP’s built-in configuration web page to configure the AP with the settings it
needs to establish a connection with its serving NOS Server.
This is done using a commissioning terminal, either before sending the AP out for
installation or on site using a suitably prepared laptop.
The benefits of commissioning an AP before on site installation are:
• The site installation engineer does not need a commissioning laptop.
• This also means that the site installation engineer does not need to know the user
name and password for the AP commissioning web page.
• If the AP has been properly pre-provisioned, the AP is effectively plug-and-play.
• This also means that a nano3G S8 AP could be installed by an end customer,
without help from a site installation engineer. The customer simply needs to
provide suitable network and power connections.
Note: For residential deployments, commissioning should have already been done at the factory
or by the supplier. If in doubt, contact the supplier for confirmation.

nano3G AP Installation Manual Installation Overview and Requirements
N3G_INST_300 v14.0 for N3G_2.85 © ip.access Limited 2012 Page 4
Note: Due to the physical installation requirements of a nano3G E8 AP or E16 AP, which must be
securely wall mounted in a location with adequate ventilation, it is recommended that an E8
AP or E16 AP is installed by a suitably qualified site installation engineer.
The benefits of using a laptop for commissioning an AP on site are:
• If there is a commissioning error, this can be corrected immediately without
needing to return the AP
• If an AP has been in storage for some time, the required software build and/or
ATAS package can be installed on the AP on site, without needing to return the AP
to base
2.1.3 On Site Installation
Physical installation of a nano3G AP at its operating site, including providing the AP with
power and a suitable network connection that provides a backhaul path to the NOS Server
and AC.
If a nano3G AP has been enabled for service prior to the site visit, the installation engineer
can make test calls immediately.
Note: For some deployment scenarios, APs may be setup by end users. Generally, this may be
the case for plug and play residential deployments, where the end user has some easy to
follow setup instructions.
2.2 Requirements for All nano3G APs
This applies to all nano3G APs.
2.2.1 General Requirements
All nano3G AP models have the following general requirements for installation:
• A commissioning terminal, which can be either a desktop computer or a laptop,
with:
• OS: Windows XP or later
• Web browser: Microsoft Internet Explorer 7 or later
• JavaScript enabled in the web browser
• A short Ethernet cable for connecting the commissioning terminal to the AP
• A temporary means to provide power to the AP while it is connected to the
commissioning terminal
• A permanent means to provide power to the AP once it is connected to the
backhaul
• An Ethernet connection to the backhaul via CAT5 Ethernet cabling
• Access to a DNS service on the backhaul to resolve symbolic addresses
• Access to NTP services on the backhaul to set the correct time and date each time
the AP starts up
• If IPsec will be used to secure the interface across the backhaul, access to the
relevant Security Gateway that terminates the IPsec tunnel

nano3G AP Installation Manual Installation Overview and Requirements
N3G_INST_300 v14.0 for N3G_2.85 © ip.access Limited 2012 Page 5
• If a firewall is in place on the network an AP will use for backhaul, this must be
configured to allow traffic to and from the AP - see the port usage section below
Port Usage
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.
With IPSec, the standard two ports are used:
Without IPSec, the following ports are used:
The following ports are also used. When IPsec is used, they may be inside or outside the
IPSec tunnel, depending on configuration:
2.2.2 nano3G AP Cooling
Special attention must be given to ensure a nano3G AP will meet its air cooling
requirements in its installed location.
Take the following points into consideration for the physical location of an AP:
• All AP models must be installed so that they are upright, to ensure proper air will
flow through the body of the AP to provide cooling.
• All AP models must not be installed in enclosed spaces where air flow is
restricted. This includes, but is not necessarily limited to:
• Roof or ceiling spaces
• Small cabinets
• Tightly enclosed shelf spaces

• When free-standing the nano3G S8 AP, the stand supplied for this purpose must
be used, and the AP must be upright, as noted above.
2.2.3 Information Required for Pre-Provisioning
This information will be used to configure an AP from the NOS Client. This is applicable to
all nano3G AP models.
Note: It is recommended to pre-provision an AP before taking it on site, so that the AP can
download its configuration when it starts up on site.
OMC-R Client Login Details
User name and password for the NOS Client. To be able to configure an AP from the NOS
Client, the user name must have Full Access to the NOS Server serving the AP and Full
Access granted to its APs. See [OPM_415] for full details about user permissions.
Minimum Configuration
The minimum set of configuration data for the AP is:
Parameter Notes
HNB C-Id This is the unique ID of this AP on the serving nano3G AC. The
term HNB is used in 3GPP in reference to small cells. The HNB
C-Id is used in the Register Request message to uniquely identify
the AP within the AC. The value is also combined with the RNC-ID
to give the 28 bit UC-Id (also known as TR-196 CellID) that is used
on-air in SIB3.
RNC ID RNC ID of the AC - this is selected by choosing the AC Detail for
the AP’s site.
AC address IP Address or FQDN of the serving AC.
MCC Mobile Country Code.
MNC Mobile Network Code.
LAC Location Area Code.
RAC Routing Area Code.
SAI SAC This is the SAI SAC (Service Access Code) which can be used by
the billing system. If this is not used by the billing system, it is
recommended to set this to 1.
SAI LAC SAI Location Area Code which can be used by the billing system.
This is a different value than the LAC set in the
lacRacCandidateList for an individual AP. If this is not used by the
billing system, it is recommended to set this to 1.
UARFCN The frequency on which the AP will operate. This should be
determined by network planning.
Scrambling code The scrambling code assigned to the AP. This should be
determined by network planning.
RSSI scan bands Specify which bands to scan with Network Listen, when
performing RSSI detect and BCCH decode tests. Leave this empty
to scan all bands supported by the AP hardware.
Lat, Long and LCS uncertainty Latitude and longitude of the APs installation site, for RANAP
location reporting

Other Attributes
The following table shows some other attributes to consider for initial AP configuration.
Apart from the static neighbour lists, which are usually configured individually, any of these
can be in a general template for all APs or can be set individually.
Also see the Cell Broadcast parameters.
Parameter Notes
Neighbour List Population This determines how the live neighbour list is populated. For
enterprise and SOHO deployments, the recommended setting is
STATIC_ONLY, which only uses neighbours entered in the static
neighbour lists, as determined by network planning. For residential
deployments, the recommended setting is
MERGE_STSTIC_AND_DETECTED, so that neighbours can be
determined by Network Listen as well as network planning.
Static neighbour lists, GSM and
UMTS
These are complex attribute that specify GSM (2G) and UMTS
(3G) neighbour candidates. It is recommended to enter these
directly in the NOS Client. However, if a similar list has already
been configured for a nearby AP, it may be advantageous to copy
this attribute from a configuration file saved from the nearby AP,
load this into the target AP and then make suitable adjustments
from the NOS Client.
See [OPM_300] for neighbour list configuration
Note: In the static neighbour list, the list must be ordered by "best
first" to ensure optimal reselection and handover.
Neighbour PLMNs If specified, this restricts the networks that neighbouring cells can
belong to for populating the neighbour lists by specifying the
MCC/MNC values.
PLMNs To Sync With If specified, this restricts the networks that nearby cells can belong
to for frequency synchronisation by specifying the MCC/MNC
values.
PM Reporting URL For reporting performance measurements to the PMS on the NOS.
Diagnostic Reporting URL Set the URL of the NOS Server diagnostics service. Replace
oam.server with the IP address or FQDN of the server.
reportingUrl Set the URL of the NOS Server measurement reporting service.
Replace oam.server with the IP address or FQDN of the server.
localTimeZone Set the timezone, in POSIX format, where the APs are located.
This assumes that all APs on the same AC are in the same
timezone, which is the most probable scenario. If APs are spread
across several timezones, this can be an AP-specific setting.
psHandoverEnabled Whether or not PS RABs will handover between an AP and the
macro network. This is disabled (false) by default.
Oscillator Synchronisation
Timeout
The number of days an AP can go without resynchronisation
before it raises the relevant alarm.

Closed Access vs Open
Access
By default, APs are configured for Open Access. Optionally, an AP
may be configured for Closed Access, in which case a list of
allowed IMSIs must be entered into the Access Control List.
To configure an AP for Closed access, set the CSG Access Mode
attribute to Hybrid and the Non CSG UE Access Decision attribute
to Local.
To return an AP to Open access, set the CSG Access Mode
attribute to Open.
Note: In both cases, the Access Decision Mode attribute must be
set to Legacy.
Access Control List Entries in the Access Control List are only needed if an AP is
configured for Closed Access. The Access Control List is a white
list of IMSIs that are allowed to use the AP.
Each entry in the Access Control List also has an option to allow
hand-in from the macro network. A UE that is on the white list for
multiple APs can only be Allowed to do this on one AP.
Cell Parameter Selection
Method
Determines whether values for cell parameters such as UARFCN,
LAC, RAC, and CPICH TX Power are selected by Network Listen
(NWL) or are configured via the management system.
The default is configuration by the management system. In this
case, cell parameters should be determined through planning,
preferably informed by on site measurements. This is particularly
appropriate for the enterprise APs, nano3G E8 APs and nano3G
E16 APs and for nano3G S8 APs used in enterprise environments.
Configuration by NWL can be selected for APs that are deployed
for plug-and-play installation by end users - typically only nano3G
S8 APs. In this case, the AP configuration must include extended
LAC/RAC and RF Parameter Candidate Lists. This is so that the
AP can choose the best settings from the candidate lists according
to its RF environment.
IuUP Initialisation If this attribute is set to TRUE (default value), the AP includes
NO_DATA RFCs as appropriate in IuUP Initialisation frames.If this
attribute is set to FALSE, the HNB omits any NO_DATA RFCs that
would otherwise have been included.
Network Listen Scan Interval Set the interval for frequency corrections.
Default is 28 days.
1 day for VCTCXO.
Any time for OCXO.

2.2.4 Pre-Prepared Configurations - Optional
The options described here can be used independently or in any combination.
Use an Existing AP
The Create Site Wizard, which is used for the initial pre-provisioning of an AP, allows
selection of an existing AP as the basis for configuring the new AP. This is a one-time
option that is only available in the Create Site Wizard.
Configuration Files
An initial configuration file can be used to rapidly configure the AP via the NOS Create Site
Wizard. This is can be an alternative or in addition to using settings from an existing AP or
using a template. Additional configuration files can be loaded against the AP object after it
has been created by the Create Site Wizard. If they will be used, the location of any
configuration files must be known.
Configuration files are described in section 4.
AP Templates
As with configuration files, an initial AP template can be used to rapidly configure the AP via
the NOS Create Site Wizard. This can be an alternative to or in addition to using settings
from an existing AP or using a configuration file. Additional templates can be applied
against the AP object after it has been created by the Create Site Wizard.
For information on working with templates, see [OPM_415].

2.2.5 Information Required for Commissioning
All nano3G AP models require the configuration details listed in this section. Use this
information to commission an AP from the commissioning terminal, so that the AP can
subsequently connect to its serving NOS Server.
It is possible to commission an AP before taking it on site.
Note: For residential deployments, commissioning should have already been done at the factory
or by the supplier. If in doubt, contact the supplier for confirmation.
For connecting to the AP from the commissioning terminal:
• User name and password for the AP web server - if necessary, contact customer
support at ip.access for the current user name and password
For commissioning the AP:
• IP Address or FQDN of the serving NOS Server
• IP Address or FQDN of an NTP server
• DHCP or static IP
• If static IP is required:
• IP address for the AP
•Netmask
• IP Address or FQDN of the default gateway
• IP Address or FQDN of the Primary DNS
• IPSec is optional, but if IPSec is required:
• IP Address or FQDN of the IPsec Security Gateway
• IP Address or FQDN of a CRL server
• 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 security gateway controls this
range and no other configuration is needed.

2.2.6 Other Items for Commissioning
The items in this section can only be used if the commissioning terminal is running a web
server that provides a path to any ip.access AP software download packages. That is, the
required .sdp files must be present on the commissioning terminal.
Setting up a web server for this purpose on the commissioning terminal is outside the scope
of this manual.
Software Image
If there is a requirement to update the AP’s software during commissioning, the relevant
.sdp file must be present on the commissioning terminal.
ATAS File
If there is a requirement to update the trust anchors in the AP during commissioning, the
relevant .sdp file containing the ATAS package must be present on the commissioning
terminal, ready to be downloaded to the AP. The ATAS package contains augmenting trust
anchors which allow an AP to trust specific security gateways.
This will be necessary where the security gateway certificates are not supplied by ip.access
Limited, to ensure the ATAS package is correct for the security gateway terminating IPsec.
The .sdp file containing the ATAS package must be created for the specific security
gateways used in each implementation of the nano3G System. This must be done in
consultancy with ip.access Limited prior to system deployment.

2.3 nano3G S8 AP Site Requirements
In addition to the site requirements for all APs, each S8 AP will require:
• Power supplied in one of the following ways, according to the accessory unit(s)
supplied with the S8 AP:
• From the mains adaptor unit, which requires a suitable mains power supply
point near the AP that is within reach of the adaptor’s cabling
or
• From the supplied POE splitter, which requires a Power over Ethernet
connection to the splitter
• A site for the AP:
• Wall mount location
or
• Stable surface for free standing installation
2.3.1 nano3G S8 AP Power Requirements
Maximum expected power consumption:
• 8 Watts (Rated 9VDC 890mA)
The nano3G S8 AP supports the following power and Ethernet cabling options:
• Direct power from the power adapter
• Power over Ethernet from the POE injector, via the POE splitter
• Power over Ethernet from a POE switch, via the POE splitter
A POE cable must not be inserted directly into the AP.
The power adapter, as well as the POE inserter and splitter supplied by ip.access comply
with LPS requirements in accordance with IEC/EN 60950-1.
