Introduction The ip.access nano3G AP is an indoor Access Point for enterprise applications. This manual provides all the necessary information required to install an ip.access nano3G AP. The manual provides step-by-step instructions for hardware installation and configuration steps required to bring a nano3G AP into service.
Portions of the AP are constructed from third-party software and open source code and ip.access ltd gratefully acknowledges the contributions that these libraries, technologies and components have made to the product. Each of these is supplied under the terms of a license agreement and these are either reproduced or referenced in [REF_300], in line with the stipulations of their authors.
• If the AP has been properly pre-provisioned, the AP is effectively plug-and-play. • By corollary, a nano3G S4 AP or nano3G S8 AP could be installed by an end customer, without help from a site installation engineer. The customer simply needs to provide suitable network and power connections.
The optional items in this section can only be used if the commissioning terminal is running a web server that provides a path to any ip.access AP software download packages. That is, the required .sdp files must be present on the commissioning terminal.
• Power over Ethernet from a POE switch, via the supplied POE splitter A POE cable must not be inserted directly into the AP. The power adapter, as well as the POE inserter and splitter supplied by ip.access comply with LPS requirements in accordance with IEC/EN 60950-1.

Power Adapter A suitable mains power supply point into which the power adapter for the AP can be plugged. Only use the power adapter supplied by ip.access to power the AP: ip.access part number EPS1173R Input 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 0.7A Output +9VDC 1.67A...
2.3.2 nano3G S4 AP Physical Requirements A nano3G S4 AP may be installed in one of the following ways (see section 6.2.4): • Free-standing on a flat stable surface. • Attached to a wall or partition using two screws that engage in keyhole slots in the rear surface of the AP.
• Power over Ethernet from a POE switch, via the POE splitter A POE cable must not be inserted directly into the AP. The power adapter, as well as the POE inserter and splitter supplied by ip.access comply with LPS requirements in accordance with IEC/EN 60950-1.

Power Adapter A suitable mains power supply point into which the power adapter for the AP can be plugged. Only use the power adapter available from ip.access to power the AP: ip.access part number PSA15R-090PV-R Input 100-240V ~ 50/60Hz 0.5A Output +9VDC 1.67A...
AP. Therefore, the maximum cable run from the network switch to the AP is 100m, regardless of the placement of the POE+ injector. The POE+ injector supplied by ip.access complies with LPS requirements in accordance with IEC/EN 60950-1.
Example AP Configuration Files 4.3.1 Example Generic Template File for nano3G S4 AP The following example file shows the attributes that are typically the same for all AP on the same AC. This is a manually created example, rather than being based on a file exported from an existing AP.
This can only be done if the commissioning terminal is running a web server that provides a path to any ip.access AP software download packages. That is, the required .sdp files must be present on the commissioning terminal.
This section documents the procedures for installing the nano3G AP hardware and physical connections. The following hardware variants are described: • 6.2 nano3G S4 AP Hardware Installation • 6.3 nano3G S8 AP Hardware Installation • 6.4 nano3G E8 AP Hardware Installation...
Note: No screws are supplied to mount the AP or the splitter unit. Check that the serial number on the nano3G S4 AP unit matches the label on the box. Check that the items have not been damaged in transit.
Mount the nano3G S4 AP Note: The nano3G S4 AP should be installed in a position so that it is at least 2m away from the area where handsets are normally used. The nano3G S4 AP must be mounted vertically in a location that allows air circulation around the unit.

Mount the nano3G S4 AP on a Stand Plug the Ethernet cable and the power cable into the AP or plug the cables from the POE splitter into the AP. Slide the AP onto the stand. Place the AP on its stand on a stable flat surface.
Page 51
Mount the nano3G S4 AP directly onto the wall Drill two holes 70mm (2.76in) apart vertically for the two screws. Insert wall plugs (if required) and secure the screws leaving approximately 3mm (0.12in) clearance between the screw heads and the wall.

Mount the nano3G S4 AP onto the splitter unit on the wall Drill two holes 66mm (2.6in) apart horizontally for the two screws. Secure the splitter unit to the wall using two screws. Ensure that the Ethernet socket is at the top.
6.4.5 Cable Connections Two power supply modules are available from ip.access, designed for use with the ip.access nano3G E8 AP and are compliant with the IEEE 802.3at standard: • The POE+ injector, as supplied, is commonly used for single site installations •...
Troubleshooting LED Status Indicators 8.1.1 nano3G S4 AP and nano3G S8 AP LEDs The following table shows the meaning of the status LEDs under normal and fault conditions. The nano3G AP is not switched on. Green The nano3G AP is powered up normally.
If the reset button is pressed for less than 5 seconds, the AP will reboot. It will not return to the factory reset state. 8.4.1 nano3G S4 AP and nano3G S8 AP Factory Reset To perform a factory reset, use a thin rod to press and hold the reset button for more than 5 seconds.
CAUTION Do not disassemble the nano3G AP or its power supply. CAUTION The nano3G AP must only be powered using the ip.access power supply provided for use with the nano3G AP. CAUTION Before using the power supply, verify that the mains voltage is within the range specified by the voltage printed on the power supply.
This product is intended for use in all Member States of the European Union.
