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.
Installation Overview and Requirements Installation Tasks There are three tasks that must be completed to install a nano3G AP and make it ready to provide service: • Pre-Provisioning • Commissioning • Site installation These tasks can be completed in any order. In most cases, however, the most practical approach is to provision and commission an AP before final site installation.
NOS Server and AC. If a nano3G AP has been enabled for service prior to the site visit, the installation engineer can make test calls immediately. Note: For some deployment scenarios, APs may be setup by end users.
DHCP - not needed for static IP configuration 2.2.2 nano3G AP Cooling Special attention must be given to ensure a nano3G AP will meet its air cooling requirements in its installed location. Take the following points into consideration for the physical location of an AP: •...
2.2.5 Information Required for Commissioning All nano3G AP models require the configuration details listed in this section. Use this information to commission an AP from the commissioning terminal, so that the AP can subsequently connect to its serving NOS Server.
The 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 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...
Only use the POE splitter available from ip.access: ip.access part number 222A Input 48VDC 0.35A Output 9VDC 1.33A 2.3.2 nano3G S8 AP Physical Requirements A nano3G S8 AP may be installed in one of the following ways (see section 6.2.4): •...
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.
Pre-Provisioning a nano3G AP The nano3G AP must be pre-provisioned on the NOS Server before it can be brought into service. It is recommended to do this in advance of physical site installation. An AP is pre-provisioned using the Create Site Wizard in the NOS Client.
Configuration File Preparation The attribute values for configuring a nano3G AP can be stored in an XML file, and then loaded via the NOS Client to provision the AP. This configuration file of attributes can be loaded when creating the site for the AP or at any time after that once the AP object exists.
Commission a nano3G AP This procedure configures the nano3G AP with the settings it needs to establish a connection with its serving NOS Server. Once commissioning is complete, use the NOS Client for any remaining configuration and to bring the AP into service.
See section 2.2.6 for extra information about software and ATAS packages. 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.
5.5.1 Static IP Configuration Obtaining an IP address with DHCP is recommended for the nano3G AP, and this is selected by default. Only execute this section if static IP configuration is needed. This must be done before completing the Connection Config page.
AP Hardware Installation This section documents the procedures for installing the nano3G AP hardware and physical connections. The following hardware variants are described: • 6.2 nano3G S8 AP Hardware Installation • 6.3 nano3G E8 AP and E16 AP Hardware Installation...
Two power supply modules are available from ip.access, designed for use with the ip.access nano3G E8 AP and E16 AP, that are compliant with the IEEE 802.3at standard: • The POE+ injector, as supplied, is commonly used for single site installations •...
Finalize Installation All the activities in this section are managed from the NOS Client. Check and Upgrade the nano3G AP Software Image This is a useful check to ensure that the AP has the required software version, even if the AP software was recently updated during commissioning.
Indicates activity on the network at 10Mbps speed (that is, the nano3G AP is sending and/or receiving data across the LAN). The nano3G AP is not provisioned, it has no IP address. This may be a temporary condition when the AP is switched on for the first time, or after factory reset.

N-User Configuration allows for a reduction in the maximum number of active UEs on a nano3G AP by controlling how many CELL_DCH users are allowed on an AP.The maxNumCellDchEues attribute reports the hardware capability of an Each reduction in max users will reduce the max requirement for CS by 60Kbps in DL and 18Kbps in UL.
WARNING Do not immerse any part of the nano3G AP or its power supply in water or any other liquid. Do not install or use the nano3G AP or its power supply near open water. Do not spill liquids of any type on the nano3G AP or its power supply.

(such as unshielded speakers). Other Warnings and Cautions WARNING Do not install the nano3G AP in a position where the power supply cable or network cable may cause a tripping or choking hazard. WARNING Do not install the nano3G AP or the power supply on an unstable surface. All caution must be observed to prevent the device from falling and causing injury to a person and/or damage to the device.
