Preparing to Install
2
2.1 Personnel & Network Design
Installation personnel should follow standard, industry safety precautions when installing a
Baicells Nova-227 eNB. Installers should refer to the operator's network design plan for
information about specific network components, RF coverage goals for the specific cell site, IP
addressing, and configuration settings.
Before installing, clearly identify the structure on which the eNB equipment will be installed,
the intended height where the antenna and eNB will be located, the degree of antenna down
tilt, and other necessary specifications that may impact the success of the installation. Consult
regulatory rules concerning output power limits specific to your region.
2.2 Cables
When determining which RF antenna to use, be sure to match the frequency range of the
antenna with the supported frequency range of the eNB.
In addition to standard tools and materials normally used during an installation, refer to Table
2-1 describing cables that will be needed. The cables are available through
Table 2-1: Materials

Ethernet Cable
Ground Cable
You will need a computer and the Ethernet cable to connect to the local maintenance
terminal (LMT) on the Nova-227 unit. Through the LMT you can access the eNB GUI to enter
basic configuration parameters and check the eNB status in software.
2.3 Form Factor
The Nova-227 eNB has a sleek form factor: 9.8 in (H) x 9.8 in (W) x 3.2 in (D) / 248mm (H) x
248mm (W) x 80mm (D). It weighs only 4.4 lbs (2 kg). Figure 2-1 shows the side LED indicators
and interface. The LEDs are explained in Table 2-2, and the interfaces in Table 2-3.
