• This introduction

• An overview of AP installation, including site requirements for all AP variants and
specific requirements for each AP model

• AP hardware installation by AP type:

• nanoLTE E40 AP

• Troubleshooting

• Regulatory warnings and safety information

1.2 Warnings and Regulatory Information

For all warnings and regulatory information, see section 5.

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.

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
