Viavi 3Z IoA-1000 User manual

5. After the battery check and conditioning is complete, the
device will show the configuration that it obtained from
the server. The device will show the default reporting
screen, as shown here.
4. Once the power is disconnected, another “Conditioning
Battery” screen will appear, this time it will take at least
10 iterations.
Note: You do not need to be present during this step
and the IoA can be left to complete this task completely
autonomously. This step can take around 20 mins
depending on the signal strength of the device.
2. Next, the device will show the following “Conditioning
Battery” screen. This step is to ensure that the batteries
within the device are ready for field deployment.
A message is shown on the screen depicting which step
the device is currently on. Depending on the signal
strength, this procedure can take up to 10 mins.
If Error 103 displays, please ensure you have the correct
SIM card. Check with your IoA Administrator or your local IoT cellular network
provider. It should be provisioned for automatic APN and not require a PIN.
Preparation for use
When you unpack the unit, do the following:
yInspect the unit for damage. If damaged, put back in box and contact VIAVI customer
service (see the Technical assistance section).
yIf undamaged, save the box and packing materials in case the unit needs to be
returned in the future.

Benefits
yEasily attach to and monitor antenna alignment in real time from the field to your
desk using your own customized software
yEasy to set up
Device preparation (before physical installation)
The device preparation is recommended to be done prior to arriving onsite. This ensures the
IoA is ready to install without any issues.
Note: For best results and minimum delay of setup, the unit should be within
59º F to 122º F (15º–50º C) during device preparation.
Important: Prior to installing the IoA unit on the antenna, set up the IoA using the
VIAVI IoA Manager website or your company’s IoA Console software. See the IoA
Manager User’s Guide or your IoA Administrator for more information.
The IoA Manager will help you add sites, add IoAs to sites, and configure IMEI,
Azimuth, Tilt, and Roll values of IoAs added to sites.
See the IoA User’s Guide for more details on setup and configuration.
1. Remove the IoA, SIM card tray, and alcohol pad from the
packaging. The device will show a standard welcome
screen with the IMEI number of the device at the bottom,
as shown here.
Important: The SIM card is not provided by VIAVI.
Check with your IoA Administrator or your local IoT
cellular network provider. It should be provisioned for
automatic APN and not require a PIN.
2. Place the SIM card in the tray. Notice the contacts of the
SIM card should be facing up, with the notch of the SIM
card in the upper left, as you face the front of the IoA.
3. Carefully insert the SIM card tray into the IoA.
Once the SIM card tray is inserted, listen for two “clicks”.
The second “click” may take up to 7 seconds to occur.
After the second “click”, the screen should show the QR code containing the IMEI of
the device, showing the device is ready for setup.
The IMEI from this screen will be required as part of IoA configuration using
the IoA Manager or your organization’s IoA Console software. See your IoA
Administrator for more information.
If Error 101 displays, please ensure the SIM card is seated properly in the tray.

Important: THE SIM TRAY MUST BE INSERTED BEFORE MOVING TO THE NEXT
STEP.
Connecting to the IoA server
The next step is to connect the IoA to the server for final configuration.
1. Remove the USB cover sticker and provide power via the USB connection on
the bottom of the IoA in order to download the configuration from the server
immediately (approx. 1-2 mins).
Once connected to USB power, the IoA screen will indicate it is retrieving its
configuration from the server, as shown here.
Important: DO NOT REMOVE USB POWER UNTIL INSTRUCTED TO DO SO.
3. Once the first cycle has finished, a “Disconnect to
Continue” message will appear. You may now safely
remove the USB power while the device continues with
its automated battery check.

Applying the tape
Finally, apply the perimeter tape along the side of the IoA,
making sure to cover the SIM tray and USB slots of the
unit.
For best results, surfaces must be clean and free of dirt,
debris, and grease. Tape should be applied when surface
temperature is between 50°–80° F (10°–27° C).
Before tape application, make sure SIM
tray is fully inserted and is flush with the
bottom enclosure.
1. Start tape application aligned
with the vent hole on the front. Keep tape seal flush to
the back of the bottom enclosure.
DO NOT peel backer all the way off to prevent debris
from getting on adhesive during application.
2. Press out as many air bubbles in the tape as possible.
Then, firmly press all surfaces and seams to make sure
tape is adhered to all surfaces properly.
When finished, the tape may overlap the
factory-applied tape around the LCD, which is
normal.

Commissioning the IoA
Once the IoA device physical installation is complete, use the VIAVI IoA Manager website or
your IoA Console to commission the device.
See the IoA Manager User’s Guide for more details on commissioning an IoA sensor.
1. From the IoA Manager website or your IoA Console, navigate to the IoA that is
being set up.
2. This will then show all the relevant information about the IoA device.
3. Verify the IMEI, azimuth, tilt, and roll values for the IoA.
4. When ready, activate the IoA via the IoA Manager or
your IoA Console.
The device will now perform the commissioning
process and the device screen will display a checkmark
to the left of the carrier information the next time it
transmits to the server.
This could take up to 24 hours depending on the time
of the installation.
Wipe the target surface area dry to ensure no moisture exists prior to
attaching the IoA.
Prepping the antenna surface
Behind the host antenna, determine the best placement for the IoA, away
from any metal. Using the provided alcohol pad, clean all existing dust,
residue, paint, etc.
If additional cleaning is required, it is recommended to use a 50:50
mixture of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and water as the cleaning agent.
Attaching the IoA
Important: Please install your IoA on the back surface of the antenna. As best practice,
VIAVI recommends that the IoA be placed on the top 1/2 of the antenna’s back surface, and
no closer than 2 inches from the left and right edges.
Keep in mind the IoA should also be at least 2 inches away from any ferrous metals that may
be used for antenna mounting and support.
On the reverse side of the IoA, carefully remove the red protective adhesive tab exposing
the black adhesive tape underneath.
An arrow on the back cover on the IoA will indicate which direction is the top.
