nanoLTE AP Pre-Provisioning and Configuration Introduction
NANO_INST_43370 v101_0.4 for N4G_1.1 © ip.access Limited 2016 Page 2
1.1.2 Assumptions About the nanoLTE AP
It is assumed that any secure nanoLTE AP (278 variants of the nanoLTE E40 AP) supplied
to an operator has already been processed by the Redirection System. Hence the
Redirector will already contain the unique OLM Package for the AP, ready for the AP to
download on first startup or following a factory reset.
The OLM Package contains the parameters that an AP uses to connect to its serving IPsec
Security Gateway and NOS. Collectively, these parameters are called the DOCP (Default
Operator Connection Point). For a summary of these parameters, see section
Network-Wide AP Commissioning Parameters. For more information on the Redirection
System, see [GST_14700].
1.2 User Requirements
It is assumed that any readers that will use the NOS Client already know how to:
• Start the NOS Client
• Navigate the Explorer Pane to find an AP object
It is also assumed that the any readers that will use the NOS Client will have suitable user
privileges for the NOS Client.
Refer to [OPM_14015] for information on using the NOS Client.
1.3 Hardware Equivalence for 248 and 278 Product Variants
The 248 and 278 product variants have an identical hardware build for each set of
supported bands. Hence the hardware build is identical in each of these cases:
• 248J and 278J
• 248L and 278L
• 248M and 278M
The only difference between 248 and 278 variants is that internal fuses within the processor
are configured on the 278 variants in order to store unique security information, allowing the
product to boot up securely.
Note: To implement the added security, the software/firmware has been adjusted for the 278
variants. Product operation and in particular the RF operation of this variant is not altered in
any way. The RF Technology (LTE), frequencies and power level are identical between both
variants.
In respect of the 248M and 278M variants of the nanoLTE E40 AP, ip.access has reviewed
the Software Changes section of the FCC Permissive Changes Document dated 16th Oct
2015. It has been determined that the difference between these two product models can be
classed as a permissive change.
Note: In general, it is expected that this manual will primarily be used for pre-provisioning the 278
variants of the nanoLTE AP, which obtain their connection parameters via the Redirector
(see section 1.1.2). The 248 variants of the nanoLTE AP must be provisioned with the
parameters that allow them to connect to the NOS in a different way, as described in
NANO_INST_43005 nanoLTE AP Quick Start Guide (as applicable to the 248 variants
only). There are no further references to this provisioning method in this manual.
