1 Introduction
The ip.access nano3GAP-4 is an indoor pico-class base station.
This document provides the reader with all the necessary information required to install the
ip.access nano3GAP-4. The document provides step-by-step instructions for hardware
installation, PSU Installation, and configuration steps required to bring the nano3GAP-4
into service.
The AP can be configured with a static IP address or it can obtain its IP address
dynamically via DHCP. The AP-AC connection can be configured to be secure (via IPSec)
or unsecured.
1.1 Installation Overview
The principal activities for installing and commissioning a nano3GAP are:
1) Install the nano3GAP hardware and power it up (installation engineer on site,
section 3).
2) Commission the nano3GAP for connecting to an AC and OMC-R (installation
engineer on site, section 4).
3) Configure the nano3GAP from the OMC-R to bring it to into service (OAM
engineer remotely from the NOC, section 5).

This section documents the procedure used to install the nano3GAP-4 hardware and
physical connections together with applying the base software configuration.
3.1 Warnings and Regulatory Information
For all warnings and regulatory information, refer to section 7.
3.2 Hardware Installation - nano3GAP-4
3.2.1 Unpacking the nano3GAP-4
1) Unpack the nano3GAP-4, the stand and the POE splitter unit.
Note: No screws are supplied to mount the AP or the splitter unit.
2) Check that the items have not been damaged in transit.
Any damaged units should be returned to the supplier.
3.2.2 Mounting the nano3GAP-4
Note: The nano3GAP-4 should be installed in a position so that it is at least 2m away from the
area where handsets are normally used.
The nano3GAP-4 can be mounted in the following ways:
•on a stand
•directly onto the wall at or above head height
•onto the splitter unit at or above head height
The nano3GAP-4 has 2 holes at the back for the latter two mounting options:

4 Deployment Commissioning of the nano3GAP
Deployment commissioning is performed typically on site, with a provisioning laptop.
The nano3GAP-4 must be in factory reset status for the commissioning. For instructions on
performing a factory reset, see section 6.3.
4.1 Configure the IP Settings of the Provisioning Laptop
1) Open the control panel on the laptop.
2) Select Network Connections, select the relevant Local Area Connection, then
right-click Properties.
The following Dialog box appears:

nano3GAP Installation Manual Deployment Commissioning of the nano3GAP
© ip.access Ltd Page 12
3) Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and then click Properties.
The following Dialog box appears:
4) Change the properties to Use the following IP address.
5) Set the IP Address to 192.168.0.2.
6) Set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0.
Note: The provisioning laptop and the AP must be in the same subnet.
7) Click OK and close the two dialog boxes.
4.2 Configure the Connection to the AP
8) Connect the AP to the Ethernet interface of the provisioning laptop via an
Ethernet cable.
9) Apply power to the AP.
10) Start a web browser on the laptop.
11) Enter the pre-defined static IP address for the web server: 192.168.0.1.
A login screen appears.

nano3GAP Installation Manual Deployment Commissioning of the nano3GAP
© ip.access Ltd Page 13
12) Enter the commissioning username and the password (supplied separately).
The default page (Connection Configuration) appears.
13) Edit the configuration information:
It is recommended to leave the default NTP server address as default.
Note: The CRL Server Base URL is embedded in the IPSec Gateway address
in the current release. Therefore, this field will be left empty.
14) Save the configuration by clicking Apply Changes.
15) Start the AP in normal operation mode by clicking Complete Commissioning.
16) When the initial configuration is completed, power off the AP and disconnect it
from the laptop.
17) Mount the AP at its intended location, see section 3.2.2.
18) Connect the AP to the operator network and apply power.
The AP performs its normal, deployed mode start-up and connects to its host AC:
During this procedure, the nano3GAP-4 obtains network time and day information
from the NTP server and – if IPSec is in use – it establishes an IPSec tunnel to
the Security Gateway.
From this point on, the AP can be managed from the OMC-R. It is now ready for initial
configuration by NOC engineers, see section 5.

4.3 Set the IP Configuration of the AP
19) Click the IP Config link on the left of the screen.
20) Edit the parameters as needed and then click Apply.
21) Click the Connection Config link on the left of the screen and then click
Complete Commissioning.
22) Read the warning and click OK to complete commissioning.

5 Configuration of the nano3GAP-4 from the OMC-R
The nano3GAP-4 needs to be configured before it is brought into service. The NOC
engineer must perform the configuration via the OMC-R Client.
5.1 Start the OMC-R Client
The OMC-R Server provides a web page to start the OMC-R Client.
1) Start a web browser application.
2) Enter the URL for the OMC-R server’s web page as:
http://<server-hostname>/omcr
Where <server-hostname> is the fully qualified hostname of the OMC-R server.
Note: This assumes that DNS is correctly configured on the management
network: the OMC-R server can be found by using its host name from
client computers on the same network.
Note: If a redundant configuration is used, the IP address entered here is a
virtual IP address that will ensure that the connection to the active OMC-
R Server can be set up without further actions from the client.
3) Press the Enter key and the OMC-R web page will appear.

nano3GAP Installation Manual Configuration of the nano3GAP-4 from the OMC-R
© ip.access Ltd Page 16
4) If it has not been installed on the client computer, click the link to download and
install the Java runtime (JRE version 1.5) for Windows®. This will allow a
Windows® client computer to run the OMC-R Client.
Note: When installed on Windows®, the JRE may automatically update to
version 1.6. The OMC-R Client will operate correctly with JRE 1.6.
However, do not install any version later than 1.6 (or allow JRE to be
automatically updated; for example, decline the update if prompted). The
Java Control Panel may be used to disable automatic updates and/or
disable usage of JRE versions later than 1.6.
5) The OMC-R Client is automatically installed when it is started. Click the link or
icon for Start 3G OMC-R Client.
If this is the first time the OMC-R Client has been started from this client
computer, or if the client version on the OMC-R Server has been updated, the
client application will download (which also installs the application).
If a security warning appears about verification of the digital signature for the
application, click the Run button.
6) The OMC-R Client will initialize and connect to the OMC-R Server. A login prompt
will appear. The first time the client is used from a particular computer, the User
name will be set to the log in ID used for the current session on the client
computer.
7) Enter the username and password, then click OK. The user name will be
remembered at the next login.
8) The OMC-R Client will initialize and connect to the OMC-R Server. The following
screen appears:
