Preparing to Install

2
2.1 Personnel & Network Design
Installation personnel should follow standard, industry safety precautions when installing a
Baicells Nova-233 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 model. In addition to standard tools
needed for installation, refer to Table 2-1 for cables that you will need. The cables are available
through Baicells suppliers.

NOTE: Baicells does not manufacture antenna components; please refer to the list
of distributors on the Baicells website: https://na.Baicells.com/where-to-buy/. Make
sure to match the frequency range of the antenna with the eNB, and consult the
regulatory rules
You will need a computer and Ethernet cable to connect to the local maintenance terminal
(LMT) on the Nova-233 unit as part of the installation process. Through the LMT you can
access the eNB GUI to enter basic configuration parameters so the eNB can connect to the
network and to the Baicells CloudCore.
