Warnings

Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user authority to operate the equipment.

1. To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance requirements, a separation distance of at least 20 cm must be maintained between the antenna of this device and all persons.
2. This Transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter this equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is needed.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Device Provision

Below bands can be configured in eNodeb

BANDs supported (1,2,3,4,5,7,8,10,12,13,17,20,28,40). Currently these bands are configured. Other bands could be added which are specified by 3GPP for NBIOT.

eNodeB start

The eNodeB starts with power up. It starts radiating on power up.

LEDs indication

There are four LEDs to indicate the status of eNodeb.

1. Alarm LED: Indicate condition which require special attention. The test execution should be stopped and logs from eNodeB should be checked for possible cause of alarm.
2. Network status LED: Indicate whether eNodeB is connected to external Network.
3. Radiating status LED: Indicate whether eNodeb is radiating or not.
4. Power LED: Indicate power is connected and eNodeB is powered-up.
