Please make sure that the network connection (Ethernet Cable) between central office and the site is properly connected. Make sure that there is AC electrical power supply for A8 base station at the site. Configure the A8 base station properly, e.g. assign an applicable IP address for A8 base station. - Page 10 A8 Installation Guide_ R3 Hardware Platform TPS13-010_rev1.0 Adjust the antenna to desired down tilt degree (0 to30 degrees), as shown in Figure 7-2.

(it does not matter).1L means left port of sector 1. Connect an RF cable from each antenna RF port to the corresponding A8 BTS RF port based on the table below. The antenna RF port and A8 BTS RF port assignments are shown in Figure 2-2 and Table 11-1 respectively. - Page 14 A8 Installation Guide_ R3 Hardware Platform TPS13-010_rev1.0 Connect an RF cable from the 5G antenna RF port to the A8 BTS RF port “a”. Table 11-1 It is recommended to seal the RF cable-to-A8 BTS connections and RF cable-to- antenna connections with weatherproof materials to get the best performance, Figure 11-3.

Page 15: Weatherproofing The Rf Connectors
We recommend the following sealing materials for weatherproofing the RF connectors: High-quality, all-weather, black plastic electrical tape, preferably 3/4” (19mm) wide to make it easier to manipulate the tape around the A8 BTS RF ports. Altai Technologies Ltd. All rights reserved... -
Page 16: Installation Tips
3M Scotch Super 88 Vinyl Electrical Tape for this purpose. High-quality, all-weather, black butyl rubber tape, preferably 3/4” (19mm) wide to make it easier to manipulate the tape around the A8 BTS RF ports. Butyl rubber tape is self-amalgamating - it chemically bonds to itself, forming a strong, waterproof joint. -
Page 17: Preparing A8 Bts Rf Ports
Cut the butyl rubber tape into 1/5” (5mm) by 4” (100mm) strips. Wrap a strip of butyl rubber tape around the base of each A8 BTS RF port in the clockwise direction. Take extra care to make sure that the resulting butyl rubber ring would not hinder the tightening of the RF cable-to-A8 BTS connection. -

For a detailed description on the weatherproofing procedures, refer to the sub-section “RF Cable-to-A8 BTS Connection.”... - Page 19 Start wrapping a layer of butyl rubber tape from the base of the A8 BTS RF port. Overlap the tape to half –width. Finish the wrap at 1” (25mm) above the electrical tape and cut the tape.
