nano3G 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

Note:

If possible, the engineer should stay on site until the AP is brought into service, ready to
make test calls to verify the AP has been configured correctly from the NOS.

Note:

For residential deployments where an AP is installed by an end-user following an easy
setup guide, ignore all of section 6.

6.1

Warnings and Regulatory Information

For all warnings and regulatory information, see section 9.
