nanoLTE S60 AP Hardware Installation Installation Overview and Requirements
NANO_INST_43315 v200_0.5 for N4G_2.0 © ip.access Limited 2017 Page 3
2.3 nanoLTE S60 AP Site Requirements
The basic requirements are:
• A mounting location for the S60 AP.
• Power supplied via the supplied mains adaptor unit, which requires a suitable
mains power supply point near the AP that is within reach of the adaptor’s cabling.
• An Ethernet cable connection to the Internet, or equivalent backhaul network
2.3.1 General Site Installation Requirements
All nanoLTE APs have the following general requirements for installation:
• A permanent means to provide power to the AP
• An Ethernet connection to the backhaul via CAT5 Ethernet cabling
• Access to a DHCP service on the backhaul to allow dynamic IP address
configuration
• 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
• Internet access so that the AP can connect to the Redirector
• 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 information in
section 2.3.3
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.
2.3.2 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
