3.5.3
Physical Interfaces
The following physical interfaces are presented on the enclosure panel:
• DC power jack
• RJ45 Ethernet (LAN)
• 2 x SMA female RF
• Reset Switch
• GPS Antenna Port (inactive)
3.5.4
Antennas
When used in SISO mode, it is possible to have one antenna for the Tx path and one
antenna for the Rx path. The nanoLTE E40 AP has 2 antenna elements housed internally
within its external plastic enclosure. These are directly connected to the main PCB
assembly by means of SMA connectors. The connectors present duplex transmit and
receive RF signals for each port.
External antennas, for example panel antennas, can be connected instead of the supplied
components. This can be achieved by removing the antenna cover, which allows direct
access to the SMA connectors for cabling.

3.5.5
Network Interfaces
The AP provides a single electrical Ethernet network interface via a standard RJ45 socket.
The interface supports 1Gbps with MDI/MDIX cable auto-selection.
The Ethernet interface is used for:
• Backhaul connection to the EPC via S1 over IP
• OA&M connection to NOS via TR-069
This interface is IP access medium (e.g. DSL or LAN) agnostic subject to the bandwidth,
jitter and latency being within limits.
The backhaul and management connections are secured using IPsec.
3.5.6
Reset Button Description
The nanoLTE E40 AP has an internal reset button to allow manual rebooting of the unit.
• Press for up to 5 seconds (subject to change) to execute a soft reboot of the AP
• Press for more than 5 seconds to execute a restore to factory defaults
The reset button is not exposed on the external enclosure. However, as it is recessed with
respect to the external casing and is accessible via a small hole, it can be operated by
means of a simple mechanical reset tool, such as a needle.
3.5.7
Visual Indicators
The nanoLTE E Class AP has the following LED indicators that display the status of AP:
• 4G Power
• Red at power up then Green when initialisation is complete
• 4G Service
• A red/green LED that shows the services status of the AP - steady green
indicates normal service, while other states can indicate firmware upgrade in
progress, provisioning states and certain fault conditions
• Ethernet - The Ethernet port has integrated LED indicators showing connection
status and link activity
3.5.8
Environmental Conditions
The AP complies with the environmental conditions set out in EN 300 019.
Temperature
Humidity
Operating Conditions
0C to +40C
10% to 70% non-condensing
Storage Conditions
-20C to +80C
0% to 90% non-condensing
The nanoLTE E40 AP has an ingress rating of IP40 in accordance with EN 60529 and is
cooled passively (i.e. no internal fan).

Accessories
The following accessories are supplied with the product:
• 12V DC power supply
• Wall mounting plate
• Tool for detaching the AP from the wall mounting plate

Hardware Installation Options
The nanoLTE E40 Access Points are designed for wall mounting.
3.8
Network Architecture
The E40 connects to the EPC directly via the S1 interface in accordance with 3GPP
standards based LTE architecture (see [36.300]). Specifically, the nanoLTE E40 AP
(HeNB) connects to the MME and SGW network elements via the S1-MME and S1-U
interfaces respectively by means of IP transmission links. The IP links are secured using
IPsec which is terminated by a Security Gateway.
The following diagram summarises this architecture:

(HeNBs)

Gateway
Separate IPsec tunnel

NOS
Note:
Although IPsec is shown in this architecture, the general functionality of the nanoLTE E40
AP has no dependency on the use of IPsec. In environments where the end-to-end
backhaul between nanoLTE E40 APs and the EPC is fully secure, the use of IPsec is
optional.
Note:
The nanoLTE E40 AP does not require a connection to an LTE HeNB-GW and this element
is not provided as part of this solution.

NOS OA&M Support for LTE APs
The NOS provides management capabilities for nanoLTE Access Points via the TR-069
management interface. Configuration Management and Fault Management are provided
using the standard TR196 v2 data model.
The nanoLTE AP can also report Performance Management measurements to the NOS,
and the NOS can produce KPI reports from the measurement data.
The NOS includes an LTE AP Create Site Wizard and a Neighbour Cell Wizard for selecting
previously defined LTE, 3G and 2G neighbours for handover, reselection and CSFB.
Note:
CSFB is only used when the UE or the core network does not support VoLTE.

4.4
Safety
The nanoLTE Access Point complies with the following standard for safety:
• EN60950-1:2006 Safety of information technology equipment Including Electrical
Business Equipment.
4.5
Hardware Equivalence for 248 and 278 Product Variants
The 248 and 278 product variants have an identical hardware build for each set of
supported bands. Hence the hardware build is identical in each of these cases:
• 248J and 278J
• 248L and 278L
• 248M and 278M
The only difference between 248 and 278 variants is that internal fuses within the processor
are configured on the 278 variants in order to store unique security information, allowing the
product to boot up securely.
Note:
To implement the added security, the software/firmware has been adjusted for the 278
variants. Product operation and in particular the RF operation of this variant is not altered in
any way. The RF Technology (LTE), frequencies and power level are identical between both
variants.
In respect of the 248M and 278M variants of the nanoLTE E40 AP, ip.access has reviewed
the Software Changes section of the FCC Permissive Changes Document dated 16th Oct
2015. It has been determined that the difference between these two product models can be
classed as a permissive change.
