3-4 Common Final Installation Procedures
The following section describes the cable connections which must be made for a wall, table or rack mounted BTS so
that the unit is ready for commissioning. As these cable connections are the same for these three mounting options,
they have been detailed in a separate section. This section is divided into the following sub-sections:
• section 3-4.1 "Connection of the Cable Gland"
• section 3-4.2 "Connection of the Grounding Cable"
• section 3-4.3 "Connection of the Antennas to the Bulkhead Plate"
• section 3-4.4 "Connection of the Optional Combiner Assembly"
• section 3-4.5 "Connection of the Power Supply"
• section 3-4.6 "Connection of the T1 Lines"
• section 3-4.8 "Optional Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) Check"
• section 3-4.9 "Post Installation Checks"
3-4.1 Connection of the Cable Gland
The cable gland is a 1.5" wide connector which must be mounted on the BTS's antenna bracket. All power and T1
cables connected to the BTS are routed through this gland.
Step 1
Locate the cable gland. Unscrew the bottommost ring on the gland by turning it counterclockwise.
Step 2
Thread the cable gland through the leftmost opening in the BTS' antenna bracket.
Step 3
Place the removed ring back on the gland, and tighten it into position.
