Cisco USC 8718/8818 Installation Guide Cisco USC 8718/8818 Dual-Mode Small Cell Module Installation 2 Before You Begin 2 Install Your Small Cell Module 5 Antenna Patterns 13 Safety Instructions 19 Revised: October 26, 2015, Cisco USC 8718/8818 Dual-Mode Small Cell Module Installation Before You Begin The Cisco Universal Small Cell (USC) 8718 dual-mode small cell module provides either 3G or 4G cellular coverage in an indoor environment where improved coverage and capacity is desired for cellular services. The USC 8818 small cell module provides LTE cellular coverage on a software-selectable LTE band. The small cell modules are specifically designed to work with Cisco Aironet 3600/3700 series Wi-Fi access points (APs) or the USC 5030 small cell chassis. Each small cell module is capable of supporting either Universal Mobile Telecommunications System (UMTS), where applicable, or Long Term Evolution (LTE) radio protocols in a single platform, is 3GPP compliant and supports UMTS Release 7 and LTE Release 9 standards. Each USC 8718 module can support either: • up to 32 simultaneous UMTS voice and data channels, a peak downlink rate of 21 Mbps and a peak uplink rate of 5 Mbps • up to 32 active LTE users per radio, a peak download rate of 100 Mbps, and a peak upload of 50 Mbps when used with 20 MHz channel bandwidth The USC 8818 is a dual-band, LTE-only, software-switchable module that can support up to 32 simultaneous LTE channels on either LTE cell, a peak download rate of 100 Mbps, and uplink of 50 Mbps when used with 20 MHz channel bandwidth. These small cell modules enable mobile operators to offer dedicated, in-building coverage and capacity for UMTS and LTE services. They are managed by the Cisco USC 8088 controller installed in the enterprise. Figure 1: Small Cell Relationship to Enterprise and Mobile Operator Core Networks System Requirements The various small cell modules are designed for use with the following hardware: Table 1: Small Cell Modules and Supported Hardware Small Cell Module Transmit Bands Monitor Bands Supported Hardware USC8718-M17-K9 UMTS Band 1 UMTS Bands 1, 8 Aironet 3700 AP Rev 2 LTE Band 7 LTE Bands 3, 7, 20 USC 5030 GSM 925-960 MHz and 1805-1880 MHz Small Cell Module Transmit Bands Monitor Bands Supported Hardware USC 8718-M24-K9 UMTS Band 2 UMTS Bands 2, 5 Aironet 3600 AP LTE Band 4 LTE Bands 2, 4 Aironet 3700 AP GSM 869-894 MHz USC 5030 UMTS Band 1 UMTS Bands 1, 8 Aironet 3600 AP LTE Band 3 LTE Bands 3, 7, 20 Aironet 3700 AP GSM 925-960 MHz and 1805-1880 MHz USC 5030 LTE Band 1 UMTS Bands 1, 5, 8 Aironet 3600 AP LTE Band 3 LTE Bands 1, 3, 7 Aironet 3700 AP GSM 925-960MHz and 1805-1880MHz USC 5030 USC8718-M13-K9 USC8818-C13-K9 Note USC 8000 series modules are compatible with the Cisco Aironet –i variants with internal antennas when they are ceiling mounted (for example, Cisco 3700i). They are not compatible with Cisco Aironet –e variants when horizontal mounted or with external antennas (for example, Cisco 3700e). The small cell modules are not designed for use with other access points. The small cell modules are managed by the Cisco USC 8088 controller installed in the enterprise. The controller has two variants, one for high capacity and another for low capacity. These two variants differ in relation to the access modules installed in the hardware. Software Requirements The small cell modules are supported on Release 4.1.5 and above. The small cell modules are compatible with software release 8.1 MR or beyond of the wireless LAN controller. Please verify that the proper release version is available on the wireless LAN controller at the time of installation. Power Considerations Installation of your small cell module can require an additional 10 watts to power the Cisco Aironet access point. With a small cell module installed, the access point requires the full Power over Ethernet Plus (PoE+) of 25.5 Watts at the egress switch port and a cable run of less than 300 feet (100 meters). Power options for the access point include: • IEEE 802.3at POE+ 25.5 W delivered from the upstream Ethernet switch • Cisco 3600 Series Power Injector (AIR-PWRINJ4=) • Cisco 3600 Series local power supply (AIR-PWR-B=) The small cell module has a power limit circuitry that shuts down the module if it draws more power than allowed. Installation Considerations Install your small cell: • in a central location, in an area where people are most likely to make calls • away from windows, to avoid the signal leaking outside or external signals leaking in • in an open area with airflow; not in a closed cabinet which reduces the signal strength • at least 5 meters (16 feet) from an external wall. This distance maximizes indoor coverage and minimizes RF leakage outside the building. Refer to the Cisco USC 8000 Series Deployment Planning Guide for Dual-Mode Systems and Cisco USC 8000 Series Deployment Planning Guide for LTE Systems for more information about small cell placement. If you have thick internal walls, or metal, fire or rotating doors, plan to place units at either side of the obstruction at a distance shorter than 49 feet (15 m). Install a unit across from a corner to provide coverage on both sides of the corner. For more information, refer to the "Cisco Aironet AP Module for Wireless Security and Spectrum Intellgence (WSSI) Deployment Guide" at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/ps11983/ products_tech_note09186a0080bed15d.shtml. Install Your Small Cell Module The small cell module can be installed in either a Cisco Aironet 3600 series access point (AP), a Cisco Aironet 3700 series AP or the Cisco USC 5030 chassis according to these instructions: Procedure Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Remove the module from the packaging. Power down the access point if you are installing the small cell module into an operational access point. Peel off the label from the back of the AP to reveal the module port connector. Figure 2: Backside of Cisco Aironet 3600 Access Point Openings for module's antennas Label covering port connector Step 4 Align the module connector with the connector on the back of the AP or USC 5030 chassis such that the male and female 100-pin mezzanine connectors mate. Figure 3: Installing Module in the Cisco 5030 Chassis Step 5 Small cell module 10/100 Base-T Ethernet port Openings for module antennas Power port for DC power source Port connector Hold both units in your hands and firmly join the module to the AP or USC 5030 chassis to fully attach the two units. Because the small cell module is thicker than the AP, you must hold both units together when attaching them. Screw down the thumb screws on the module. Note If the screws are not tightened, the module will not be recognized and may not operate correctly. Make sure not to over-tighten the screws; they should be only hand-tightened. Power up the access point. If necessary, mount the access point or USC 5030 chassis, with the small cell module installed, using the universal bracket (AIR-AP-BRACKET-2). Note The universal bracket works with electrical boxes, can be used for wall mounting, and adapts to ceiling installations. It leaves a larger gap between the mounting surface and the access point, which allows space for the small cell module. Note Step 6 Step 7 Step 8 For more information, refer to "Access Point Mounting Instructions" at the following URL: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/woreless/access_point/mounting/guide/apmount.html Boot Sequence and USC 8088 Controller Communication On initial boot, the small cell module performs the following boot sequence. When finished, the module is reachable. Figure 4: Small Cell Boot Sequence Boot Sequence: 1 When the small cell is powered on, the device sends a DHCP Request to the controller DHCP server to get IP information. The DHCP server is configured on the controller to respond only to DHCP requests from Cisco Systems small cells. Refer to the Cisco USC 8000 Series OS Administrator Guide for more information about the controller DHCP server configuration. 2 The server responds with the IP addresses of the small cell and the controller (the master of the small cell). 3 Using its own IP address, the small cell sends a Join Request message to the controller. The small cell seeks to join the cellular network. 4 The controller responds with a Join Response message indicating whether the small cell is allowed to join the network or not. 5 The arrival sequence begins. The controller sends the software image to the small cell. 6 The small cell boots up the received software package. 7 The small cell establishes an IPsec tunnel with the controller. Based upon the radio configuration, the small cell loads the appropriate protocol elements and joins the network. Small Cell LED Boot Sequence The small cell state machine is sequential and progresses in the following order: State 0 -> State 1 -> State 2 -> State 3 -> State 4 -> State 5 A normal boot sequence transitions through all these states sequentially and the LED state transitions accordingly. If the small cell fails to transition to the next state, the system restarts the boot sequence, starting with State 0. You can determine the progress during the booting stages by observing the LED color transitions. On failure, the last LED state will display the state that encountered the failure. This table shows the small cell boot sequence and corresponding LED behavior: Table 2: Small Cell LED Boot Sequence State LED Color Description Possible Failures and Actions 0. Power On/Reset Flashing Green Initial state on startup. The small cell bootup is controlled by firmware in this state. It goes through a lamp test in this state, meaning that it cycles through all LED colors. Short lived state; small cell should transition to the next state immediately and should not remain in this state indefinitely. Note Flashing Green is also used to indicate a small cell that has been administratively disabled. This can be determined from the CLI. 1. DHCP Solid Red Small cell sends DHCP Request. 2.

Solid Green Verify Your Small Cell Module Installation After the small cell module is installed and powered up, it takes approximately one minute for the module to perform the boot sequence and be reachable by the controller. Take note of the initialization sequence by noting the color and activity of the LEDs on either side of the module. The module is ready to use when the LEDs change to solid green. Figure 5: Cisco Small Cell Module LED—the same LED indication displays on both sides of the module The LED display is active by default, but can be deactivated in light-sensitive environments as needed. Even when the display is disabled, the LED will be lighted during the following conditions: • while the small cell is booting • if the small cell or cell is in fault state • if there is an active emergency call • if the locate small cell feature is active 11 • if the follow IMSI feature is active This table shows the default LED behavior of the USC 8718: Table 3: Cisco USC 8718 LED Behavior LED Status Flash Rate Green: slow flashing Administratively disabled Approximately ½ second on, 1½ sec. off Green: fast flashing Booting Approximately 1.4 second on/off cycle Green: solid Operational Red: solid Fault Red: fast flashing One or more emergency calls active Approximately 1 second on/off cycle Blue: fast flashing Locate small cell enabled1 Approximately 1 second on/off cycle Blue: solid Follow IMSI enabled1 Off Powered off or LED disabled 1 Refer to the Cisco USC 8000 Series OS Administrator Guide for information about "locate small cell" and "follow IMSI".
