The customer’s EMS Server and FTP Server should be put into place prior to the installation
crew’s arrival at site. If the customer’s EMS Server is not available until after installation begins,
the crew can typically use a laptop to perform initial configuration. The FTP Server, however,
must be in place in order to commission the Base Station and test its operation.
Power Requirements for the Base Station
Refer to Table 3 Technical Specifications and to the Regulatory Information found in Chapter 1,
Page 8. The BTS must be connected to a power supply/rectifier that is UL listed to UL60950 or
UL60950-1 and has a grounded SELV output; and it must be installed in accordance with
NEC/CEC Articles 800/810/830. A UL listed disconnect device, such as a circuit breaker or fuse,
must be installed between the power supply and the BTS chassis connections.
Ground Requirements for the Base Station
The Base Station requires an earth ground connection. This ground should exhibit a maximum of
five (5) ohms across true ground. All power and ground conductors must be mechanically
supported to avoid strain of the wires and connection points. Refer to the Regulatory Information
in Chapter 1, Page 8.
NOTE: The installation procedures, which begin next, follow the same order as shown in
the High-level I&C Process Flowchart in Figure 2.
