2 Installation Overview and Requirements
The topics in this section are:

2.1 Installation Tasks
The tasks that must be completed to install a nanoLTE E61 AP and make it ready to provide
service are:
• Pre-Provisioning in the NOS
• Commissioning
• Site installation
These tasks can be completed in any order. In most cases, however, the most practical
approach is to pre-provision an E61 AP before commissioning and site installation.
2.1.1 Pre-Provisioning
The pre-provisioning process prepares an AP to enter service.
For information about AP pre-provisioning, see the AP Pre-Provisioning and Configuration
manual [INST_13400]. The LTE AP runs LTE AP2.5 software.
This manual has no further information on AP configuration.
2.1.2 Commissioning
The commissioning procedure prepares the E61 AP so that it is ready to connect to its
serving NOS, usually via a serving IPsec GW.
The commissioning procedure is in section 3.
2.1.3 Site Installation
Physical installation of an E61 AP at its operating site, including providing the AP with
power and a suitable network connection. The network connection provides the backhaul
path to the NOS Server and LTE Gateway, usually via an IPsec GW.
The network connection must also provide Internet access so that the E61 AP can contact
the services it needs at boot time, including NTP, the Redirector and the public CRL mirror.
If an E61 AP has been enabled for service prior to the site visit, the installation engineer can
make test calls immediately.
