5 System Preparation for nanoLTE AP Provisioning
This section describes how to setup MME Pools, AP SW Version and AP Product Class
objects, ready for use during AP provisioning. Also ensure that, if used, any ACME Security
Gateway objects are correctly configured. For a new system installation, also ensure that
the LTE APs object exists, as all nanoLTE APs must be provisioned under this object.
Note: It is also recommended to setup templates to speed up provisioning, as covered in section
6 and detailed in [INST_43380].
The topics in this section are:
• 5.1 Assumptions About the NOS
• 5.2 MME Pools
• 5.3 Product Class and AP Software Version Objects
• 5.4 Copy AP Software onto the NOS Server
• 5.5 Create an AP SW Version Object
• 5.6 Create an AP Product Class
• 5.7 Check the LTE APs Object
• 5.8 Check the APs Object
• 5.9 Create AP Groups
• 5.10 Neighbour Cell Objects
5.1 Assumptions About the NOS
This manual is about nanoLTE AP configuration, not NOS configuration. Hence, it is
assumed that the NOS is already working and that the NOS itself and its services have
been correctly setup in readiness for AP provisioning. This includes:
• Service configuration for AP connections:
• TR-069 AP Service
• Software Download Service
• Performance Management File Service
• Diagnostics File Service
• Certificate Validation Service (if this NOS service is not used, an equivalent
CRL Mirror server must be available)
• Creating Security Gateway objects
• Creating NTP Server objects
The NOS configuration manual [INST_14300] provides the information required for these
aspects of NOS configuration.
All aspects of NOS-oriented configuration that are specific to AP provisioning are covered in
the sections that follow.
