2 Installation Overview and Requirements
2.1 Installation Tasks
The tasks that must be completed to install a nanoLTE AP and make it ready to provide
service are:
• Pre-Provisioning
• Site installation
These tasks can be completed in any order. In most cases, however, the most practical
approach is to pre-provision an AP before site installation. The procedures for these
activities are provided in the AP Configuration Manual [INST_43370].
2.1.1 Pre-Provisioning
For information about AP pre-provisioning, see the AP Configuration Manual [INST_43370].
This manual has no further information on AP configuration.
2.1.2 On Site Installation
Physical installation of a nanoLTE 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 EPC.
If a nanoLTE AP has been enabled for service prior to the site visit, the installation engineer
can make test calls immediately.
Note: Due to the physical installation requirements of a nanoLTE AP, which must be securely wall
mounted in a location with adequate ventilation, it is recommended that an E40 AP is
installed by a suitably qualified site installation engineer.

NANO_INST_43311 v101_0.2 for N4G_1.1 © ip.access Limited 2016 Page 3
2.2 Requirements for All nanoLTE APs
This applies to all nanoLTE APs.
2.2.1 Site Installation Requirements
All nanoLTE AP models have the following general requirements for installation:
• 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
• Access to a DHCP service on the backhaul to allow dynamic IP address
configuration
• If IPsec will be used to secure the interface across the backhaul, access to the
relevant Security Gateway that terminates the IPsec tunnel
• 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
Note: If possible, the engineer should stay on site until the AP is brought into service, ready to
make test calls to verify the AP has been configured correctly from the NOS.
2.2.2 nanoLTE AP Cooling
Special attention must be given to ensure a nanoLTE 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

2.2.3 Port Usage
This information is provided in case it is needed for configuring local on-premises
equipment, especially any hardware firewalls between the AP and the rest of the backhaul
network.
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:
These ports are used and allowed through the firewall where IPsec is used:
The following ports are allowed through the firewall independently of IPsec configuration.
For example:
AP > Firewall > DHCP Server
Protocol Destination Port Use
udp 500 IPSec initial connection
udp 4500 IPSec operations
Protocol Destination Port Use
sctp 36412 SCTP connection
udp 2152 PS GTP to EPC
Protocol Destination Port Use
tcp 80 PM upload, software download, CRL
download
udp 53 DNS
udp 123 NTP
Protocol Destination Port Use
udp 67 DHCP - not needed for static IP configuration
udp 68 DHCP - not needed for static IP configuration

2.3 nanoLTE E40 AP Site Requirements
In addition to the site requirements for all APs, each E40 AP will require:
• A site for wall mounting
• Power supplied via the supplied mains adaptor unit, supplied separately, which
requires a suitable mains power supply point near the AP that is within reach of the
adaptor’s cabling.
2.3.1 nanoLTE E40 AP Power Requirements
Maximum expected power consumption:
• 20 Watts (Rated +12V on the DC input)
The E40 AP uses Direct power from a suitable DC source (+12V, 2.5A rated centre positive
2.1mm jack) - a suitable mains adaptor is supplied.
PSU
The E40 does not use POE. The following 12V PSU is supplied:
There must be a suitable mains power supply point for plugging in the power adapter. The
lead on the PSU is approximately 1.5m long, hence the power supply point must be within
1.5m of the AP.

2.3.2 E40 AP Physical Requirements
An E40 AP is installed by attaching its mounting plate to a wall or partition with screws, then
sliding the rear surface of the AP onto the mounting plate.
Pay attention to ensure that air can circulate freely around the unit. The unit must be
vertical.
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.
2.3.3 Thermal Protection
The nanoLTE E40 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.
2.3.4 E40 AP Backhaul (IP) Bandwidth Requirements
At maximum capacity and with IPsec in use, a nanoLTE E40 AP will require:
• Downlink: 100Mbps
• Uplink: 37.5Mbps
This will provide bandwidth for 16 users.
2.3.5 E40 AP Installation Tool Requirements
To mount the bracket onto the wall:
• 4 pan head screws, size No. 6 (approx 3.5mm (0.14in) in diameter), for the AP
bracket.
• Wall plugs if required.

3) Lift off the cover:
4) To refit the cover, simply place it in position and press down gently until the cover
securely snaps into place.
The antennas must be oriented perpendicular to the unit, as shown, so that the
cover fits correctly without stressing the connectors.
To fit external antennas, first remove the plastic cover from the antenna side of the
unit. Unscrew the antennas to expose the SMA connectors. Connect external
antennas directly to the SMA connectors. Route the cables through the gap in the
back cover, then refit the cover.

3.4 Mount the E40 AP on a Wall
Note: The E40 AP should be installed in a position so that it is at least 2m away from the area
where handsets are normally used.
The E40 AP must be mounted vertically to ensure air circulation around the unit.
The location of each E40 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 E40 AP
can be installed and commissioned. The E40 AP should be placed on a wall at or above
head height.
1) Remove the wall bracket from the E40 AP. Lay the AP on a flat surface with the
wall bracket upwards. Slide the removal tool over the central guide groove over the
fin between the bracket and the body of the unit to disengage the locking spring,
then slide the bracket to separate it from the AP. The removal tool may be inserted
from the top or bottom of the AP.
2) Position the bracket on the wall with its flat surface against the wall and the clip
part towards the top. Ensure the bracket is level and sufficient clearance is
maintained to allow the AP to be fitted to the bracket. Allow at least 100mm from
the bracket to the top of wall, and 150mm from the side of the bracket to a side
wall.

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.
5) Slide the E40 AP onto the bracket and ensure that the retaining spring engages
into the indent at the rear of the unit.
6) Remove the cover to reveal the cable ports and LEDs.
7) Plug in the required cables. Plug an Ethernet cable from a switch/gateway into
LAN and an optional power supply into the +12V DC input:

4.3 Factory Reset
Only use a factory reset when there is no other way to repair the AP connection to either the
IPsec SecGW and/or the NOS Server. First ensure that all other possibilities have been
explored and eliminated.
A factory reset will clear the configuration supplied to the AP by the NOS (or TR-069 ACS if
the NOS is not used). Hence the AP will retain the following information after a factory reset:
• Factory configuration data that cannot be changed, which includes:
• The AP’s Equipment ID (EID)
• The FQDN for the ip.access NTP services hosted by ntp.org
• The FQDN of the Field Redirector
• The FQDN of the primary ip.access CRL mirror server
• If the AP has already successfully obtained its unique OLM Package, it will also
have:
• The DOCP, containing the parameters the AP needs to connect to its serving
NOS (see below)
• Certificates
The DOCP parameters are permanently stored by the AP, and will be used if the AP
performs a factory reset. However, they are overridden with the configuration that the AP
obtains from the NOS server when it connects for the first time. If this downloaded
configuration is incorrect, this may subsequently prevent the AP from successfully
re-connecting to the Security Gateway and/or the correct NOS.
In the NOS Client, check these parameters, which are the parameters supplied to the AP in
the DOCP, as downloaded from the Field Redirector in its unique OLM Package:
