Cautions and Regulatory Compliance Statements for NEBS

The NEBS-GR-1089-CORE regulatory compliance statements and requirements are discussed in this section.

Cautions and Regulatory Compliance Statements for NEBS

NEBS describes the environment of a typical United States Regional Bell Operating Company (RBOC) central office. NEBS is the most common set of safety, spatial, and environmental design standards applied to telecommunications equipment in the United States. It is not a legal or regulatory requirement, but rather an industry requirement.


Warning

Statement 7003—Telcordia GR-1089 NEBS Standard for Electromagnetic Compatibility and Safety

The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must use shielded intrabuilding cabling/wiring that is grounded at both ends.

This statement applies to the intrabuilding ports listed below:

Gigabit Ethernet WAN port

Warning

Statement 7005—Intrabuilding Lightning Surge and AC Power Fault

The intrabuilding port(s) of the equipment or subassembly must not be metallically connected to interfaces that connect to the outside plant (OSP) or its wiring. These interfaces are designed for use as intrabuilding interfaces only (Type 2 or Type 4 ports as described in GR-1089-CORE) and require isolation from the exposed OSP cabling. The addition of primary protectors is not sufficient protection to connect these interfaces metallically to OSP wiring.

This statement applies to the intrabuilding ports listed below:

Gigabit Ethernet WAN port

Warning

Statement 7012—Equipment Interfacing with AC Power Ports

Connect this equipment to AC mains that are provided with a surge protective device (SPD) at the service equipment that complies with NFPA 70, the National Electrical Code (NEC).


Note

SIM 1

The Cellular Gateway unit supports dual SIM cards behind a panel cover. To install SIM cards, follow these steps:

Procedure

Step 1

Loosen the screw on the SIM cover and remove the SIM cover assembly. (The screw is captive to the SIM cover and should not be removed from the SIM cover assembly)

Step 2

Install SIM0 or SIM1 in their respective slots. SIM location (0 or 1) is marked on both the SIM cover and unit panel face (visible if the SIM cover is removed). The SIM icons show the correct orientation required to install the SIM into each respective connector. SIM connectors are of push-push type. To install, insert the SIM card into the connector until you feel or hear it click, and let go. The SIM is locked in the connector. To remove the SIM card, depress the SIM in the connector slot again until you feel or hear a click and let it go. The SIM connector ejects part of the way from the connector. Hold and pull out the SIM card.

Step 3

After SIM cards are installed, replace the SIM cover and secure with a screw.

Note

 
We recommend that you use industrial-grade SIM cards.

5G NR Antenna (5G-ANTM-04-B) is supported on both CG418-E and CG522-E.

  1. Attach each SMA cable to the associated ports as indicated in the table mappings.

  2. Ensure that you tighten and secure each SMA cable into the SMA connector on CG418-E/CG522-E. Cellular Gateway requires only 5 connections. The extra connectors from the antenna can be left unused.

Antitamper Bracket

The antitamper bracket can be ordered to prevent the disconnection of cables. All the cables can be connected after the antitamper bracket is assembled, although it is simpler to connect the GPS before securing the bracket. After you have assembled the bracket, the cable connections can be removed with a tool, such as a flat-head screwdriver, except for the GPS, which requires a box-end wrench to be removed while the bracket is assembled.

Power Guidelines and Requirements

Check the power at your site to ensure that you are receiving power that is free of spikes and noise. Install a power conditioner, if necessary.

Powering the Cisco Catalyst Cellular Gateway Unit

The following sections explain how to power on a Cisco Catalyst Cellular Gateway unit:

  • AC source (with an AC/DC power converter)

  • PoE through a PoE injector (if PoE is not available, from a network source)

  • PoE from a network source

The Cellular Gateway is powered by either AC source or PoE through the Gigabit Ethernet WAN port:

  • An AC power socket is for use with an AC/DC power converter. The AC/DC power converter is always provided.

  • The unit can be powered with PoE through the Gigabit Ethernet WAN port when there is an internal PoE card.


Note

If the unit is provisioned for PoE powering, the unit can have both AC and PoE power sources connected, in which case, the unit will default to AC source with PoE as the backup source.

POE is a factory installed option only and must be selected at the time of ordering the Cellular Gateway. POE-enabled units are distinguished by the lightning bolt icon over the GE-WAN port.

AC/DC Power Converter Connecter

The AC/DC power converter connector has a lock-latch for being secured to the unit when installed. To remove the connector, depress the back of the latch and remove the connection.

Installing the Power Injector

The typical power injector package contains the following items:

  • Power injector

  • Power cord

  • URL pointer card and China RoHS statement

Figure 11. Cisco Catalyst Cellular Gateway powered through PoE

Note

The Cisco Catalyst Cellular Gateway can be powered through PoE using a power injector module developed for Cisco APs, even when a PoE is not available from the network source. For more information, see the Cisco Aironet Power Injector Installation Guide.

Grounding the Connection

Grounding is not always required for indoor installations because the Cisco Catalyst Cellular Gateway units are classified as low-voltage devices and do not contain internal power supplies. We recommend that you check your local and national electrical codes to see if grounding is a requirement.

The chassis must be grounded to provide ESD protection when the unit is powered with PoE. If grounding is required in your area, or you want to ground your cellular gateway unit, follow these steps:

Step 1: Power off the Cisco Catalyst Cellular Gateway unit by setting the power switch (or switches) to the Off position.

Step 2: Strip the covering from the end of the grounding wire. The amount of covering to be stripped varies depending on the type of lug you plan to attach to the wire.

Step 3: Insert the stripped end of the grounding wire into the open end of a lug and crimp the grounding lug securely to the wire.

Step 4: Attach the grounding lug firmly to the threaded hole on the unit using a Philips screwhead screw.

Note

The Cisco Catalyst Cellular Gateway is supplied with a ring lug and securing screws for grounding the Cisco Catalyst Cellular Gateway unit, when required. The unit must be grounded to provide ESD protection when the unit is powered with PoE. Ensure that you use an 18-AWG insulated wire.
