7 AP Provisioning
Ensure the System Preparation activities in section 5 and Template Preparation in section 6
are complete before using the Create Site Wizard to provision an AP.
The procedures in this section assume that the AP will connect to the NOS after the
procedures are complete. That is, the AP is not powered up and connected to the backhaul
until the NOS is ready for the AP.
The topics in this section are:
• 7.1 About the Create Site Wizard
• 7.2 Pre-Provisioning a nanoLTE AP
• 7.3 Use the Create Site Wizard to Pre-Provision a New AP
• 7.4 Apply Templates and Configuration Files to the AP
• 7.5 Update the Individual AP Parameters
• 7.6 Assign Planned (Static) Neighbours
7.1 About the Create Site Wizard
Use the Create Site Wizard for nanoLTE AP Provisioning, but simplify the path through it as
much as possible by means of appropriate template application.
For a basic system the sequence through the Wizard should be:
• Select Product Class, which can reference one or more global templates
• Optionally select an appropriate AP policy template
• Enter the AP-unique parameters
• Enter the AP’s geographical location
• Select the NTP servers for the AP
• Configure some remaining mandatory parameters
After completing the Create Site Wizard, then:
• Optionally apply one or more templates, typically an appropriate AP policy
template
• Optionally load one or more XML configuration files to apply parameter settings to
the AP object
• Manually configure any remaining parameters that are individual to each AP, or
that do not fit into an AP policy
