Page 16: Connect Ethernet Cable
Figure 3-3: WAN Connect Type For purposes of explaining the WAN cabling, fiber optic cable is used as the example. Follow the steps below to attach the fiber optic cable to the eNB. 1. Use an M4 cross screwdriver to unscrew the three screws on the cover of the wiring cavity located on the side of the eNB (Figure 3-4). -
Page 17: Attach Power Connector
3.3.6 Attach Power Connector The two ends of the power adaptor are bare terminal ends, since the distance between the installation site and the power supply device will vary. You will need to make the power cable specific to this site, and attach the power plug and power terminal on the two ends of the power adaptor. -
