7.2 Pre-Provisioning a nanoLTE AP
The nanoLTE AP must be pre-provisioned on the NOS Server before it can be brought into
service. It is recommended to do this in advance of physical site installation. An AP is
pre-provisioned using the Create Site Wizard in the NOS Client.
The user account used for these activities in the NOS Client must have Full Access rights to
the LTE APs object.
Note: It is assumed that a new AP already has an OLM Package waiting for it in the Redirector, so
that when the AP is started up for the first time it can obtain the information it needs to
connect to its serving NOS. Each AP must be able to connect to the Redirector via the
Internet so that it can retrieve its unique OLM Package from the Redirector. See
[GST_14700] for more information on the requirements for this.
7.2.1 Pre-Provisioning Parameters
For information about the pre-provisioning parameters refer to section 3 and section 4.
7.2.2 Pre-Provisioning Methods
Pre-provision a nanoLTE AP in the NOS using one of the following methods:
• Use the Create Site Wizard from the right-click menu on the LTE APs object. This
is the method described in this manual. See section 7.3.
• Use the SOAP/XML interface to submit an LTE AP provisioning request to the
NOS. This method is not described in this manual. However, the requirements and
preparation are the same. That is, there must be an appropriate Product Class and
associated AP SW Version object. Also, it is strongly recommended to associate
templates with a Product Class used for SOAP/XML provisioning requests, as this
minimises the parameter load in the SOAP/XML request. For information about the
SOAP/XML interface provided by the NOS, including the IRP for nanoLTE AP
provisioning, see [REF_14490].
Note: Do not use the Create Auto-Allocated TR-069 Site Wizard on the Actions menu for the APs
object. This is not applicable to nanoLTE APs.
