• 4 AP-Unique Parameters
See this section for information about the AP parameters that must be unique to
each AP.
• 8 How to Implement Policies
Also see this section for supplemental information on implementing AP parameter
usage according to different policies. For example, see section 8.3 for information
about determining an appropriate Periodic Inform Interval across the nanoLTE
System.
2.3 Preparation - General System Preparation and Templates
In the context of this manual, this mainly means preparing the NOS so that it is ready for
nanoLTE AP pre-provisioning. However, as per the assumptions in section 5.1, it is
assumed that the NOS has been installed correctly and that the required NOS services are
operational and that any other required configuration is complete.
The relevant sections of this manual are:
• 5 System Preparation for nanoLTE AP Provisioning
Follow the procedures in this section to prepare the NOS for nanoLTE AP
pre-provisioning, including: creating MME objects, placing AP software on the
NOS server, creating AP SW Version and Product Class objects, ensuring the LTE
APs object is present, checking the configuration of the APs object, optionally
creating AP Group objects and optionally preparing Neighbour Cell objects.
• 6 Template Preparation
Use this section as a template strategy guide. The procedures to create templates
are in [INST_43380]. As a minimum, create the Mandatory Settings Template that
contains CQI to DSCP mappings and AP temperature settings.
In parallel to this, it is further assumed that the preparation of external systems (outside the
NOS) is complete:
• NTP servers are operational
• The required IPsec SecGW is operational and ready to establish IPsec tunnels
with the APs
• The core network is ready for S1AP connections from nanoLTE APs
• All other supplemental network systems are ready, including but not limited to:
firewall configuration, network switching, DNS and gateways
The correct preparation of these external systems is outside the scope of this manual.
