These cautionary signs are used on the physical equipment and throughout this manual.
For safety of personnel and protection of equipment observe these precautions when
installing, operating or servicing the equipment and surrounding areas.
3. General Warnings
Electrical
Power Supply –cord fitted for AC or DC. DO NOT adapt to a different configuration.
Power supply circuits carry high voltages. Remove rings, watches, and other jewellery
before working with this type of equipment.
Batteries –Certain installation of this equipment require working with lead acid batteries,
batteries present chemical, electric and gaseous hazards. Batteries are not supplied by
IPWireless for the Node B equipment although UPS systems may be coupled with the
device in order to provide back up power in case of power outages.
Physical
Weight –Each Node B weighs 25kgs (55 pounds). Precautions should be taken, depending
on the installation site conditions, in lifting and hoisting the device.
Environmental
There are different precautions to take within each environment. Specific precautions are
listed in the installation section for that environment.
Site Location
The NodeB basestation is designed to be installed in restricted access locations only. The
site locations are accessible by suitably trained service/installation personnel only.
Network Connections
The NodeB basestation is not suitable for direct connection to Public Switched Networks.
This means that the Node B is not suitable for direct connection to TNV circuits

4. Overview
Node B is the European Technical Standards Institute’s (ETSI) name for the radio base
station. The basic function of the Node B is to convert 100 Base T packet data into the
UTRAN TD-CDMA air interface used between the Node B and the 3G Modem. The Node B
can be configured to operate in configurations ranging from a single sector or omni mode, up
to a 6 sector arrangement. One Node B is required for each sector of coverage, in the case
of an omni configuration one Node B will be required. The Node B is controlled by an INC
(Integrated network Controller) Generally co located at the site in a separate cabinet.
The Node B supports both 768 mega chips (10MHz) and 385 mega chips (5MHz) without
any hardware modification.
Scope
This document covers the physical installation and mountint of the NodeB using bracketry
supplied. It does not detail custom or specialised installations or applications.
Additionally, antenna rigging/mounting, lightning protection, tower work, feeder installation /
termination are all considered to be outside the scope of this document.
If in any doubt about the suitability of this document to successfully install at the proposed
location, then please consult IPWireless technical support for assistance.

6. Installation
This section describes the steps to be followed to physically install the Node B.
Step 1-Pre-Installation
This section describes the initial checks that should be carried out to ensure that preparation
for the installation is complete.
For Installation Check Card please see Appendix A at the back of this manual.
1. Review site construction drawings to determine if site was constructed
according to the drawings.
2. Review drawings and actual installation to determine location of Node B
installation.
3. Check availability of electrical, grounding and antenna connections.
4. Complete site survey.
5. Check structural strength of wall, pole or mounting frame to support Node B
weight of 25Kgs (55lbs).
