the operator's EPC network should align with the following of the Nokia FastMile 
4G Receiver:
• the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver’s mobile subscriber profile in the HSS should be 
assigned by the mobile network operator as follows:
-  a specific APN should be used for the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver to attach the 
LTE network; if no specific APN is indicated, the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver will 
attach to the LTE network with the default APN that the mobile operator sets in the 
MME
-  for this subscriber's profile in the PCRF, the related QCI setting should be defined 
the same as the DSCP for the residential gateway
• the SIM card of the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver should be related to a specific data 
service of the mobile network in the HSS; this SIM card should have the same PIN 
or an empty PIN, as the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver will not do a PIN unlock if the 
wrong PIN code is set on the device; if this happens, the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver 
installer needs to go onsite and replace the SIM card
• refer to the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver Customer Release Notes for other 
information that could be relevant 
• for other configuration information for the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver, refer to the 
FastMile playbook for detailed operation
Before beginning installation of the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver, it is important that 
all necessary preparation in the NAC be done according to the details and steps in 
the Nokia Altiplano FastMile Controller documentation.
Be sure to observe the following prerequisites before installing the Nokia FastMile 4G 
Receiver: 
• An appropriate configuration file must be available for transferring from the Nokia 
Altiplano FastMile Controller to the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver
• Installation personnel must have knowledge about installing the unit
• A valid Nano/4FF SIM card is needed for the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver to 
connect to the LTE network; note that the SIM card determines the remote 
management method that can be used for the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver (see 
section 5.1 for information about remote management methods for the Nokia 
FastMile 4G Receiver)
• A pole adapter is needed for pole-mounting the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver 
(included in pole mount kit orderable from Nokia)
• If you will be installing a Compact multi-band model of the Nokia FastMile 4G 
Receiver, you will need to provide a cat5e shielded Ethernet cable with standard 
pinouts that is a maximum of 80 m (262 ft) in length; the cable needs a male RJ 
45 connector to attach the cable to the Ethernet port of the Nokia FastMile 4G 
Receiver
• If you will be installing a Compact mono-band model or ABA model of the Nokia 
FastMile 4G Receiver, you might need cat5e shielded Ethernet cabling that can 
be connected to the Ethernet cable of the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver to make it 
longer, up to a maximum of 80 m (262 ft) in combined length; a waterproof IP67 
female RJ 45 plug will be needed to connect the Ethernet cabling to the existing 
3 m (9.8 ft) Ethernet cable of the Nokia FastMile 4G Receiver
