Installing picocell 7–1
Chapter 7
Installing picocells
This chapter describes how to install a picocell at the permanent
site. It includes the following sections:
• Preparing for picocell installation – page 7–1
• Mounting the picocells – page 7–2
• Installing and connecting picocells – page 7–7
• Performing the frequency band scan – page 7–18
Install the scanning picocell first, and then the traffic picocells.
Follow the instructions in the AIReach OS Configuration Report
for specifications on picocell location, cable labeling and telco
block assignments.
Important: All T1 wiring must comply with TIA/EIA–568A and
TIA/EIA–606. (In Canada, must comply with CSA Standards
T528 and 529.)
CAUTION
Before removing or installing electronic
components, make sure static electricity
has been discharged from yourself and any
object that will contact the component.
Wear a new or recently tested anti–static
wrist strap and use an anti–static pad while
handling components.
Failure to follow these instructions could
result in damage to components.
Before you begin installing picocells, ensure that . . .
• The power supply for line power is mounted in the telco
room and correctly connected to the telco block.
• The T1 cables are punched down and correctly labeled on
the telco block.
• The power supply voltage to the picocell is –48 Vdc.
• The picocell location will not interfere with door clearances.
• The picocell will not be located in an inappropriate room
(for example: a room without air conditioning).
