2.1 Purpose and Scope

This chapter documents the procedure used to install the nanoBTS hardware and physical

connections together with applying the base software configuration.

2.2 Warnings and Regulatory Information

For all warnings and regulatory information, please refer to section 5.

2.3 Unpacking

Unpack the nanoBTS and check to see that the unit has not been damaged in transit. Any

damaged units should be returned to the supplier.

Figure 1 - Unpacking the nanoBTS

2.4 Fitting the External Antenna Kit (optional)

2.4.1 139/140 Hardware

Note: When looking at the nanoBTS with the connections facing down and the LED

visible the antenna on the left side is the Transmit antenna and the antenna on

the right side is the Receive antenna.

Note: The RF feeder cable must not be bent sharply as this may result in a degraded

performance.

Remove the plastic covers by removing the top and bottom plates from both ends of the

nanoBTS. Lever gently apart with screwdriver in notch.

nanoBTS Installation Manual nanoBTS Hardware Installation

Figure 2 - Removal of antenna covers

Remove the antenna cover body, by unscrewing the two Torx T20 retaining screws.

Figure 3 - Removal of antenna cover body

Fit the replacement antenna cover body ensuring that the feeder cable connector fits into

the antenna. Note that one cover only fits the receiver whilst the other fits the transmitter.

Fit the clamp as shown below and second Torx screw, then replace top and bottom

covers.

nanoBTS Installation Manual nanoBTS Hardware Installation

Figure 4 - Fit clamp plate

Repeat the process for the other end of nanoBTS.

2.4.2 165 Hardware

Note: When looking at the front of a 165 nanoBTS with the Ethernet and TIB

connectors facing downwards, the TX antenna is bottom left, the RX antenna is

bottom right and the Network Listen (NWL) antenna is top right.

To fit external antennas, remove the plastic cover from the unit and unscrew the antennas

to expose the SMA connectors. Connect directly to these connectors. The antennas must

be oriented perpendicular to the unit, as shown, so that the cover fits correctly without

stressing the connectors. (The removable antennas for 165C, 165D, 165G and 165 H are

shown in Figure 5 and Figure 7. The removable antennas for 165A and 165B are smaller.

165E and 165F have no removable antennas.)

Figure 8 - Ethernet and TIB cabling

2.5.3 Ethernet

Each 139/140/178 nanoBTS must be connected to an Ethernet switch or hub via either a

109 ip.access single power inserter or 126 ip.access Powered Ethernet Switch. Refer to

section 5 for details of the power supply connections. The 165 EDGE nanoBTS may use

nanoBTS Installation Manual nanoBTS Hardware Installation

either the above power options or a separate 48V DC power supply available from

ip.access.

2.5.4 Timing Interface Bus (TIB) – Multi-TRX only

The Timing Interface Bus (TIB) is used to provide clock and signalling between the

nanoBTS when operating in a Multi-TRX configuration.

The TIB OUT from the Master TRX must be connected to the TIB IN of the slave TRX.

This in turn has its TIB OUT connected to the next TRX in the chain. See Figure 9.

Figure 9 - TIB connections

2.5.5 Chassis Bond Strap – Multi-TRX only

When the nanoBTS is operated in a Multi-TRX configuration, each of the nanoBTS must

be connected together using the supplied chassis bond kit.

To fit the chassis bond strap, remove the nanoBTS from the mounting plate.

Using the screw provided, screw the Chassis Bond Strap to the screw on the rear of the

nanoBTS, see Figure 10 or Figure 11.

Connect the other end of the Chassis Bond lead to the next nanoBTS chassis bond point

in the chain.

Figure 11 - Chassis bond screw location - 165 nanoBTS

2.5.6 Mounting the nanoBTS

The location of each nanoBTS is shown on the installation floor plan produced at the

network planning stage. For example, it must take into account that all BTSs must be at

least 2m from any mobile equipment. The network wiring must be complete before the

nanoBTS can be installed and commissioned. The nanoBTS should be placed on a wall

(at or above head height) or on a ceiling. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, the following

procedure is common for both 139/140 and 165 hardware variants.

Remove the nanoBTS from the bracket by sliding the removal tool over the central fin

between the bracket and the body of the unit to disengage the locking spring, slide bracket

to separate it from the main body of the unit. The tool may be inserted from the top or

bottom of the nanoBTS.

Chassis

Bond Point

nanoBTS Installation Manual nanoBTS Hardware Installation

Figure 12 - nanoBTS bracket removal

Position the bracket on the wall and mark the position of the four screw holes. The top of

the bracket MUST be positioned uppermost. Ensure that the bracket is level and sufficient

clearance is maintained to allow the unit to be located on the bracket (at least 80mm from

the bracket to the top of wall, and 120mm from the side of the bracket to a side wall). See

Figure 13.

Figure 13 - Fixing the wall bracket

Drill the four holes in the positions marked previously and insert wall plugs (if required) and

fix the mounting bracket securely to the wall. The bracket is designed to allow the

nanoBTS unit to be mounted with the connections either at the top or at the bottom of the

unit.

Slide the nanoBTS onto the bracket and ensure that the retaining spring engages into the

indent at the rear of the unit.

nanoBTS Installation Manual nanoBTS Hardware Installation

Figure 14 – Mounting the nanoBTS

When fixing to a ceiling or a sloping wall the same fixing process and clearances should be

observed as for fixing to a wall (at least 100mm from the bracket to the top of wall and

120mm from the side of the bracket to a side wall). On a sloping surface the top of the

bracket MUST be uppermost. Once the unit has been attached to the bracket the outer

cover MUST be removed to expose the cooling vanes, as shown in Figure 15.

Figure 15 - Ceiling mounted nanoBTS

2.5.7 Mounting Multi-TRX nanoBTS

When the nanoBTS are to be installed in a Multi-TRX configuration, then each TRX should

be installed in a similar orientation but not closer than 30cm to each other.

A further specific constraint is that the TIB cables must be <1.5m and a 1.5mm

Chassis

Bond cable must also be connected between each TRX with a length not exceeding that of

the TIB cable.

nanoBTS Installation Manual nanoBTS Hardware Installation

2.5.8 Mounting Multi-TRX 165 nanoBTS

The 165 (EDGE) BTS may be installed in a stacked two-TRX configuration. See section

2.5.10 for details.

The procedure for mounting a stacked two-TRX configuration is as follows:

1. Fit the first wall bracket to the wall in the desired position.

2. Remove the plastic cover from the bottom unit.

3. Relocate the TX antenna as illustrated in section 2.5.10.

4. Fit the antenna cable (part number 165_072) as illustrated in section 2.5.10.

5. Fit the second wall bracket to the bottom unit as illustrated in section 2.5.10.

6. Mount the bottom unit on the wall.

7. Fit the Ethernet and TIB cables to the bottom unit.

8. Fit the skirt to the bottom unit.

2.6 Power Supply Installation

Two power supply modules are available from ip.access, designed for use with the

ip.access nanoBTS product range.

The single output power supply is commonly used for single site installations. The powered

Ethernet switch is generally used at sites where multiple nanoBTS installations exist.

2.6.1 Warnings

Do not connect any device other than a nanoBTS to any RJ45 socket that is

enabled for nanoBTS connection (i.e. 48V DC operation).

Ensure that the connection to the main LAN (Server) is only made to the

UPLINK (i.e. 48V DC operation).

2.7 Single Power Supply Unit Installation

The single power supply unit is supplied as standard with each nanoBTS. The power

supply has two Ethernet connections, one for connection to the main LAN, the other for

connection to the nanoBTS.

The 8 port powered Ethernet switch, is a combined power inserter, for use with the

ip.access range of products and a fully functional 10/100 Ethernet switch.

Figure 20 - 8 port powered Ethernet switch

Power to the unit is provided via a 110 – 240 Volt ac mains plug or via a 48 Volt dc plug

and housed in a 1U 19" rack mount case.

2.7.1.1 Mounting The 8 Port Powered Ethernet Switch

The unit is designed to be mounted within a standard 19" rack, and occupies just 1U

height, with all connections accessible from the front panel.

Insert 4 cage nuts in the 19" equipment rack at the height and location that the 8 Port

Powered Ethernet Switch is to be positioned.

Taking care, slide the 8 Port Powered Ethernet Switch into location, holding the switch

steady, then with 4 mounting screws, secure the 8 Port Powered Ethernet Switch into the

rack.

2.7.1.2 Connecting The 8 Port Powered Ethernet Switch

nanoBTS Installation Manual Getting Started with BTS Installer

3 GETTING STARTED WITH BTS INSTALLER

After the nanoBTS hardware has been installed on site, it must be commissioned into the

network. This is done by configuring the nanoBTS with BTS Installer. This chapter

provides an overview of BTS Installer and installation instructions. Refer to the following

chapter for instructions on commissioning a nanoBTS with BTS Installer. Readers familiar

with BTS Installer may wish to skip this chapter.

Note: While it is possible to pre-configure a nanoBTS before it is installed on site, this

manual assumes that a nanoBTS will be configured after site installation.

3.1 Configuration Phases

Configuration of a nanoBTS takes place in a number of phases. In automatic mode (see

section 3.2.1) all enabled phases are run automatically one after another in a fixed order.

In manual mode the user chooses which phase to run, one at a time, and can also perform

other actions which are not equivalent to automatic configuration phases.

The configuration phases are, in the order in which they are run in automatic mode:

1. Setting the nanoBTS’ IP configuration using the built-in DHCP server.

2. Setting the nanoBTS’ Unit ID.

3. Setting the nanoBTS’ non-volatile attributes.

4. Downloading a file to the nanoBTS.

Each phase can be enabled or disabled separately for each nanoBTS. The download file

can download any one of: software; a certificate; a certificate revocation list, but can only

download one file at a time.

The BTS Status section of the user interface gives a quick reference to which phases are

enabled for which nanoBTSs: this is indicated by the colour code in the columns headed

respectively DHCP, UNIT Id, NV Attr, D’LOAD. Grey indicates that this phase is disabled

for this nanoBTS, any other colour indicates that this phase is enabled for this nanoBTS.

Status colours other than grey are accompanied either by explanatory text, or by a symbol

(Grey = no symbol, Red = cross, Yellow = question mark, Red = tick).

3.2 Modes of Operation

BTS Installer has a variety of different modes of operation, to suit different circumstances

and requirements.

3.2.1 Manual and Automatic Operation

BTS Installer has an automatic mode of operation, in which it will apply all enabled phases

of configuration to all known nanoBTSs in parallel, and when it has finished it will produce

a summary in the log window and log file and will display in the BTS Status window which

phases of configuration for which nanoBTSs have succeeded and which have failed.

This automatic mode of operation is initiated by pressing the Auto button in the BTS

Database Log section of the user interface.

nanoBTS Installation Manual Getting Started with BTS Installer

BTS Installer also has a manual mode of operation, in which the user performs just one

operation at a time on just one nanoBTS at a time, and has immediate feedback as to the

success or failure of the operation.

The various manual operations are available from pressing the Action button in the BTS

Status section of the user interface.

Some example scenarios are:

• A number of operating nanoBTSs are to have their software upgraded. Automatic

mode is used to download the new version of software to all of them at once.

• A particular nanoBTS is not operating correctly. Manual mode is used to investigate

its configuration and diagnose and fix the problem.

3.2.2 Unknown BTS Mode

Normally the BTS Database contains entries for specific nanoBTSs. In particular the

DHCP server will only normally only supply an IP configuration to a nanoBTS whose MAC

address matches that explicitly specified in the BTS Database entry.

There is a special “Unknown BTS” mode of operation in which the BTS Database contains

just one special entry. This special entry acts as if it had a wildcard MAC address, and the

DHCP server will recognise any nanoBTS that asks for an IP configuration.

IN THIS MODE THERE IS NOTHING IN BTS Installer TO STOP THE

CONFIGURATION OF ANY nanoBTS THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE

NETWORK FROM BEING CHANGED.

This special mode of operation is designed to be used when only one nanoBTS at a time is

connected to the computer running BTS Installer, usually on a tiny private network,

perhaps just a crossover cable. It bypasses the normal safeguards that BTS Installer uses

to ensure that it makes configuration changes only to BTSs that are identified as those that

the user has specified.

There is no way to create this special BTS Database entry from the graphical user

interface; it must be loaded from a configuration file. There is no particular indication to the

user that BTS Installer is in Unknown BTS Mode, except that the Find and New buttons in

the BTS Status section of the user interface are disabled.

3.2.3 Proxy and Direct Operation

There are various network configurations in which BTS Installer may be used, and the

general design of the IP network configuration is outside the scope of this document.

In some network configurations BTS Installer is on the same network as the nanoBTSs, in

that there is an IP route from BTS Installer to the nanoBTSs. In such configurations BTS

Installer can communicate directly with the nanoBTSs in direct connection mode.

There are two different types of direct connection that BTS Installer can make to a

nanoBTS: a normal TCP connection or a secure SSL connection.

In other network configurations BTS Installer and the nanoBTSs are on different networks,

and there is no IP routing between the two. Typically in this scenario the BSC will be

multihomed, and will have an interface to each network but will not route IP packets

between the two networks. An optional system component, the BTS Installer Proxy, can be

installed as part of the BSC, and will forward requests from BTS Installer to the nanoBTSs

nanoBTS Installation Manual Getting Started with BTS Installer

and return the replies. In such configurations BTS Installer communicates with the

nanoBTSs in proxy mode.

There are two different types of proxy that might be present on a BSC: a Primary OML

Proxy and a Secondary OML Proxy. Which can be used depends on the network

configuration.

Direct connection or proxy mode is indicated to the user in the status bar at the bottom of

the user interface. A later section explains how to start BTS Installer in proxy mode, and

lists the limitations of BTS Installer whilst in proxy mode.

3.3 The Configuration File

BTS Installer can be given the information it needs in the following ways:

• in a configuration file

• via the graphical user interface

• via some combination of a configuration file and the graphical user interface

The configuration file is a text file which can be created with any text editor and which

contains definitions for:

• default values for BTS attributes

• the nanoBTSs to be operated on

• attributes to be set for the BTSs

• the DHCP server’s IP address pool

It is not necessary to create a configuration file for most uses of BTS Installer, as almost all

necessary information can be entered via the graphical user interface. The only exception

is that a BTS Database entry for the “Unknown BTS” cannot be entered via the GUI and

can only be entered via the configuration file.

At any point it is possible to save the current state of the BTS Database and IP address

pool to a configuration file; this can be done even if no configuration file has been loaded

and all data has been entered via the GUI. This allows you to do the following:

• entering configuration information via the GUI

• saving the configuration information to a new configuration file

• loading the configuration file in a later run of BTS Installer

In other words, you can use BTS Installer itself to create a configuration file for later use,

instead of using a text editor.

See 'Configuration File Reference' in [OPM_300] for details of the syntax of the

configuration file.

3.4 Installing BTS Installer

This section contains information about installing BTS Installer, preparing it for use, and

performing an operation on a nanoBTS.

BTS Installer is a Java application. It requires that the Sun J2SE Java Runtime

Environment be installed: version 1.5 is required (there is no particular requirement as to

nanoBTS Installation Manual Getting Started with BTS Installer

which subversion of 1.5 is used). The J2SE Java Runtime Environment is available, with

installation instructions, from Sun’s Java web-site (http://www.java.sun.com).

with some nanoBTSs selected in Config Manager and will operate in proxy mode. See

'Starting BTS Installer from Config Manager' in [OPM_300] for details.

nanoBTS Installation Manual Getting Started with BTS Installer

3.5.2 Microsoft Windows

BTS Installer can be started by double clicking the desktop item or by selecting the menu

entry in the normal way.

3.5.3 Other Platforms

Details of starting BTS Installer on platforms other than Microsoft Windows are beyond the

scope of this document. However on platforms with a command line interface a command

like the following is likely to be useful:

java -jar BtsInstaller.jar

3.5.4 Command Line Arguments

On all platforms, additional command line arguments can be used to specify that BTS

Installer should run in proxy mode, and/or to specify the IP addresses and optionally Unit

IDs of some nanoBTSs for which BTS Installer should create BTS Database entries. See

'Command Line Parameters' in [OPM_300] for details of the command line arguments.

Depending on the platform, it will be possible to set up a shortcut or a script to run BTS

Installer with any desired set of command line arguments.

3.5.5 Entering the Password

When BTS Installer starts, if an eToken containing a certificate and private key is found it

will prompt the user for the password for the eToken. The password should be entered if it

is desired to make secure (SSL) connections to nanoBTSs; if only insecure connections

are wanted then the password request may be cancelled. See section 4.5 for further

details.

3.6 Setting Up BTS Installer

The BTS Installer Configuration section of the user interface contains some settings that

tell BTS Installer how it is to operate. Until some of these settings have been made most of

the buttons on the user interface will be disabled and most of BTS Installer’s functionality

will be unavailable.

nanoBTS Installation Manual Getting Started with BTS Installer

Once these settings have been made they are remembered and will not normally need to

be made again on later runs of BTS Installer on the same computer.

The items that can be set up are:

• Log file directory – this must be set up, but it can alternatively be done as a by-

product of choosing a configuration file

• IP Address – this does not need setting if you are not going to use BTS Installer’s

built-in DHCP server, but if you are going to use the DHCP server then this must be

set up

• Configuration file – this need not be set up unless and until you wish to use a

configuration file

nanoBTS Installation Manual Getting Started with BTS Installer

• Options – these usually do not need to be set up as the default values are usually

adequate.

3.6.1 Creating a BTS Database Entry

BTS Installer will not operate on any nanoBTS that it doesn’t know about; in order to do

anything to a nanoBTS it must have a BTS Database entry for that nanoBTS (see section

4.1).

A BTS Database entry can be created by any of the following methods as desired:

• creating a new blank BTS Database entry

• finding a nanoBTS on the local area network

• loading a configuration file

3.6.2 Assigning an IP Address

For most operations (other than when operating via a Primary OML Proxy) the nanoBTS

must have an IP address assigned, and BTS Installer must know the IP address.

If the nanoBTS on which you wish to operate already has an IP address:

• Ensure that the BTS Database entry for that nanoBTS has the correct IP address; if

not use the Edit button to fill in the IP address on the BTS tab of the BTS

Configuration dialog box.

If the nanoBTS on which you wish to operate does not already have an IP address then

you may use BTS Installer’s built-in DHCP server to assign one:

1. Consult the network administrator for the network on which the nanoBTS is

installed and ask for an IP address that can be used for the nanoBTS.

2. Use the Edit button to fill in this IP address on the BTS tab of the BTS

Configuration dialog box.

3. Go to the DHCP tab on the same dialog box, (and if not already done) tick the

Enable DHCP Configuration check box, and enter the correct Subnet Mask (and

Router address, if needed).

4. Ensure that the DHCP server is running.

5. Wait until the DHCP server assigns the address to the nanoBTS.

For more information about editing the nanoBTS’ attributes using the BTS Configuration

dialog box see chapter 4. For more information about the DHCP server, particularly for

conditions that must be satisfied before it will work and assign an IP address to a

nanoBTS, see chapter 4.

3.6.3 Setting Desired nanoBTS Attributes

For many, but not all, operations it is necessary to specify some attributes that you wish to

be configured on the nanoBTS.

Use the Edit button to pop up the BTS Configuration dialog box on which desired attributes

may be entered. See chapter 4 for details of the BTS Configuration dialog box.

4.4 Frequency Calibration

When the nanoBTS has been installed and configured, the local oscillator must be

calibrated.

The frequency calibration should be performed 10 minutes after the nanoBTS has been

powered up. This provides time for the oscillator to stabilise. The frequency calibration

should then be performed again 24 hours after the nanoBTS has been powered up.

The frequency calibration can be performed in two ways.

4.4.1 Frequency Synchronisation (Recommended)

The Frequency Synchronisation test in the Network Listen dialog can be used to calibrate

the nanoBTS.

During this test the nanoBTS measures the frequency error of the local oscillator relative to

the measured channel. The frequency errors are reported and the local oscillator can be

adjusted to reduce the error.

Note: The nanoBTS can only adjust its clock if the internal OCXO is the active clock

source.

1. Click Frequency Synchronisation.

2. Click Configure Test.

3. Make the required settings in the Configure Test dialog. To correct the reported

frequency errors select the Apply Frequency Sync Options check box, and

Note: The nanoBTS may not be able to correct the frequency error in one go. It may

be necessary to re-run this test a few times to get the error down to a

reasonable level.

4.4.2 Frequency Control

Frequency Control enables the user to make manual adjustments to the nanoBTS clock

frequency via the Frequency Control attribute, which is represented as a number of ppb

(parts per billion) from a nominal value. It also enables the user to view the Timing Bus

status.

1. Connect external frequency measuring equipment to the nanoBTS TIB Out port.

Note: The external frequency counter should be referenced to an accurate and

stable source.

Note: If the nanoBTS is used in a Multi-TRX configuration, then the TIB Out must

be disconnected from each nanoBTS in the chain prior to calibration and

reconnected afterwards.
