CONFIGURATION MODES (OPTIONS) Cel-Fi QUATRA can be installed off-air to provide high-quality in-building wireless connectivity by using the existing cellular network. Off-air installations comprised of an NU and up to four (4) distributed CUs dynamically networked into a single system to provide high-quality in-building wireless connectivity. External Antenna is required when using more than one CU in off-air mode. Be sure to choose the System Mode External Antenna or Internal Antenna in the Cel-Fi WAVE Portal when using the internal Cel-Fi QUATRA in Off-Air. Selecting the Right Donor Antenna The QUATRA 1000 system is provider-specific and supports MIMO capability. For that reason, for best performance, in Off-Air mode, each NU should be connected to a high-gain directional MIMO antenna. The Cel-Fi Wideband MIMO Panel Antenna (model: A52-X12-100) is perfect for this application. Used with the AntennaPositioning application (via WAVE) and a Cel-Fi Mount ensures that the system will have the best donor signal possible. The QUATRA 2000 system includes a dual-carrier, software configurable NU, so multiple donor sources are accessed by the antenna to provide signal. For this reason, an omni-directional antenna is ideal. Nextivity offers an omni-directional wideband antenna (model: A11-V14-100) with MIMO outputs that is a perfect donor for the QUATRA 2000 NU. 15 Small Cell (Supercell) A Supercell is comprised of a Cel-Fi QUATRA 1000 system connected to a small cell. Multiple Cel-Fi QUATRA 1000 systems can be connected to a single small cell, or multiple small cells, to form a coordinated Supercell that extends coverage for large venues. A Supercell with multiple Cel-Fi QUATRA 1000 coverage units (CUs) is more efficient than multiple small cells, and the CUs of a Cel-Fi QUATRA 1000 system connected to a Supercell do not interfere with one another. Cel-Fi QUATRA 1000 partners with carrier-approved small cells to deliver better RF distribution through CUs, utilizing the full capacity of the small cell, minimizing interference significantly, and requiring much less network management resources. This achieves the major goal of in-building network densification. Note: Be sure to choose the System Mode Small Cell in the Cel-Fi WAVE Portal when connecting a Cel-

Fi QUATRA 1000 Network Unit to a Small Cell. 16 Determining the Proper Configuration Developing a coverage plan is made easier with Nextivitys online QUATRA PLANNER TOOL (QPT). Simply enter information about the site and known requirements, and the QPT will return an estimated equipment list. The QPT algorithms are based on ever-evolving IEEE 802.16 propagation models, and will provide a very good estimate in most cases. Once on site, its always good to measure actual values to ensure best performance, and for any solution adjustments. QUATRA PLANNER TOOL can be found at: www.cel-fi.com/quatra/plan 17 Plan

CHAPTER 5. DEPLOYING CEL-FI QUATRA To facilitate the installation process and the best performance at the site, its important to plan the system design prior to any permanent installations. Planning Step 1. Site Survey recommended for best results. Formal Site Surveys are not required for a QUATRA installation, but some form of site survey is For QUATRA, best practices will identify and document the following items:

SITE SURVEY PURPOSE Project site address Mapping (can also view site exterior w/Google Earth). Operator(s) of interest. Select systems. QUATRA 1000 systems support single carrier operation per NU/CU combo (system). QUATRA 2000 systems support two carriers per NU/CU combo

(system). 3 Building size, floorplans, photos. Project size, interior structures/usage such as high stacked materials, cubicles etc. Suspended or open ceiling? CU mounting options (ceiling tile, wall, pole, hanger rod). 4 Note wall construction (hollow, Interior RF propagation expectations/hardships. masonry good/poor/critical 5 Ask customer where service is They know! And they have expectations to meet. 6 Nice to have: Measure existing Level and Quality (speed tests, and android apps such service (smartphone) as Network Cell Info Lite). Note on floorplans. 18 7 Donor options (i.e. antenna Bring quality service indoors by measuring donor signal location options, measure). quality where donor antennas are practical (where Outdoors best, but may be indoor allowed, cable penetration available, isolated from CUs). if well RF isolated from CU coverage zones. 8 Discuss cabling route options Consider low coax loss to NU(s), NU placement, LAN

(LAN and Coax). cabling to CUs, NU internet connection and power outlet. Planning Step 2. Estimating Hardware Needs Given the results of the survey process, use your preferred modelling and estimation method to generate a budgetary equipment bill of materials (BOM). The online QUATRA PLANNER TOOL (QPT) is recommended and can also be used at this stage. www.cel-fi.com/quatra/plan Planning Step 3. Determine NU Donor (Off Air or Small Cell) Location A. If using an outdoor donor antenna a. Donor antenna system gain (in dBi) minus coax loss should be 5 dB, for best results. b. For best results the donor antenna should have as much isolation as possible from the other system components, in particular the CUs. c. CUs should be placed at least 10 meters from any NU. d. QUATRA uses QMA connectors at the NU. QMA-RA to N adapter kits are available from Nextivity. Model: D12-20114-2002 Nextivity also offers a variety of other adapters specific for connectors used in the QUATRA solutions. www.cel-fi/com/quatra B. If using a small cell, make sure to understand the small cells installation requirements, provided by the small cell vendor a. Does the small cell require external access to GPS signal?

b. c. Is the Internet feed at the location sufficient in terms of bandwidth and availability?

Is there sufficient space for the Small Cell Interface (SCIF) to be used?

19 C. If using an indoor donor antenna (QUATRA 1000 only), it is recommended that the antenna be located close to the NU for best performance and minimal loss from antenna to NU. Note: The NU+ANT should be well isolated from all CUs (walls etc.), to ensure full CU transmit power. Planning Step 4. NU Internet Connection & WAVE Portal Account Network Unit requirements:

o Power Internet Access via LAN port o Note: Make sure IT Staff can assist with any LAN issues if needed. A LAN Connection Guide is available on request. A variety of sources for Internet connectivity hardware are available. Options include:

3GSTORE: https://3gstore.com/quatra_routers MULTITECH: https://www.multitech.com/products/gateways-

routers-modems DIGI: https://www.digi.com/products/cellular-solutions Note NU Serial number o Located on the back of each unit o Request portal access:

www.cel-fi.com/account-request o Your equipment supplier authorizes portal access Planning Step 5. Coverage Unit (CU) Placement Coverage is greater in open areas. Use the table to estimate where CUs should be placed. CUs should be ceiling mounted in open areas such as large rooms and hallway intersections. 20 Coverage Area Radius (estimated, meters) Area Type Small Cell Mode External Antenna Mode (Outdoor Donor) External Antenna Mode (Indoor Donor) Open Area (no general obstructions) Open Area + Cubicles Small Offices (framed interior walls) Small Rooms (masonry interior walls) 24 20 16 12 24 20 16 12 20 16 13 9 Note: Each CU has QMA-Female RF ports (x2). Passive antennas may be connected to these ports to provide additional coverage options. Typical passive RF cabling and antenna restrictions apply. Planning Step 6. Coverage Unit Cabling Determine how many cables may be needed for the planned Coverage Units. Each CU requires a dedicated cable to the Network Unit o Active Ethernet hubs such as switches or routers may not be used Cables must be Cat 5e or better (Gigabit compliant) No cable may exceed 100m (325 ft.) You may use one QRE per CU to extend range to 200m (650 ft.) OK to use existing LAN cables (rather than run new cables), if they meet the minimum requirements EXPERT TIP: CHECK YOUR PLAN AGAINST THESE RULES CUs should be at least 10 meters (33 feet) away from any Network Unit The donor antenna should be very well isolated from all CUs (50m min; less if well separated by walls or solid structures) If locating the donor antenna away from the Network Unit (roof etc.) use low loss cable and keep antenna system gain (antenna gain minus cable loss) to no less than 5 dB. 21 Install The QUATRA Management tools, including the WAVE Portal, will reference the NUs and CUs by serial 1. Record serial numbers by location number during commissioning. Friendly-names may be assigned during the commissioning process. 2. Mount the hardware 22 ENGINEERING TECH NOTE QUATRA Cable and Connector Best Practices Cel-Fi QUATRA uses QMA RF connectors and standard Ethernet RJ45 connectors. Proper handling practices will help ensure optimum performance and limit potential connector strain or damage. QMA RF CONNECTIONS Use smaller flexible coaxial cables that are easier to route and manage behind the Network or Coverage Unit. Rigid thicker cables (such as LMR400 or Heliax) will not fix properly and may strain and damage the QMA connectors on the unit. ETHERNET CABLES (RJ45) Crimp on RJ45 connectors fit well behind a Network or Coverage Unit if flush mounted to a solid surface. Prefabricated cables often have large strain reliefs that can cause damage to the unit connector ports if the unit is mounted directly to the surface. To accommodate these types of cables, use adequate mounting practices such as the supplied U brackets to ensure adequate space behind the units for the cables. Damage to the unit connectors may result if a unit is hung or dropped with a cable attached. 23 Cable Route and connect all cables. NU to CU cabling.

(Recommended) Connect CUs in order, CU1, CU2, etc.

(Recommended) Best practices to leave a service loop in the cable Note: Do not power up system at this point. Up to four (4) NUs may be daisy-chained. Note: Systems continue to operate during software updates but may not be visible on the portal during the update process (usually for 30 minutes within the first 24 hours of operation). Please leave the systems connected to the Internet for at least 24 hours. 24 Power the Network Unit and Commission the System Power IMPORTANT There are two ways to commission a QUATRA system 1. Using the WAVE Portal 2. Using the QMT app (coming soon!) The QMT app is essentially a smart phone app frame for the WAVE Portal Available on Android-only. Make sure that the NU mode is properly set to Internal Antenna, External Antenna, or Small Cell using QMT or the Cel-Fi WAVE Portal (you can access your system record using the NU serial number.) If using a small cell, verify the small cell is commissioned and transmitting before commissioning QUATRA. 1. Once a donor signal is available to the NU and CUs are connected, plug in the NU power supply. 2. Launch the QUATRA Management Tool app.

(Available on the GOOGLE PLAY STORE. Android-only.) 3. Follow the on-screen prompts to connect to the Cel-Fi QUATRA system. 4. Complete the commissioning steps. NOTE: If you are commissioning a QUATRA 1000 with a Directional Antenna, the commissioning will include the AntennaPositioning process. Once commissioning is completed, the Cel-Fi QUATRA system should be providing service. At this time, LEDs should be SOLID GREEN. If an LED is blinking GREEN, wait for the process to complete. If an LED is RED, please see Troubleshooting. 25 CHAPTER 6. TROUBLESHOOTING LED ISSUE SOLID RED Coverage Unit

(CU) error. Network Unit

(NU) error. Network Unit overheating. Coverage Unit overheating. Problem with donor signal or Mode setting. Registration required. Check Mode and number of CUs. No CU connected. CU too close to NU. CU Disabled. Input signal too strong. TRY Reset the Network Unit by unplugging the power supply, wait 5 seconds, then plug it back in. Verify Network Unit software is up to date (using QMT or cloud portal). If the problem persists, return Network Unit for service. Make sure that the vents (the small openings in the plastic housing) on the units are not blocked. Move the unit to a cooler area. The system will start working normally when it cools down. Reset the Coverage Unit by unplugging it and then plugging it back in. Verify Coverage Unit software is up to date (using QMT or cloud portal). Make sure that the LAN cabling to each Coverage Unit is dedicated (not combined with other active LAN hardware such as routers and switches). Passive connectors may be used (i.e. punch-down blocks) but the maximum cable distance may be reduced. If a Cel-Fi QUATRA Range Extender is used to lengthen the 100 meter maximum Network Unit to Coverage Unit Ethernet distance, make sure only a single Cel-Fi QUATRA Range Extender (QRE) is used per Coverage Unit. QRE is proprietary and other extenders will not work. See QRE Troubleshooting. Uninstall Coverage Unit and plug it into back of Network Unit with a short Ethernet cable that is known to work. If the Coverage Unit works properly, troubleshoot the original Ethernet cable (or QRE if used). If the problem persists, return Coverage Unit for service. Make sure that the vents (the small openings in the plastic housing) on the units are not blocked. Move the unit to a cooler area. The system will start working normally when it cools down. Insufficient Donor Signal. If internal antennas used for Network Unit, relocate Network Unit where signals exist or add and Enable external antennas in Settings. If external antennas or a small cell donor signal are used, check Mode setting, donor source, and cable connections to the NU RF ports. Product Registration is required for your system to operate (system is new or has been moved to a new address). Please follow the registration instructions using QMT or the Cel-Fi WAVE portal. If NU Mode is set to Internal Antenna, only one CU may be used. More connected CUs will result in system Disable. Disconnect additional CUs, or set NU Mode to External Antenna and connect an External Antenna. Connect at least one CU to the NU. A CU is too close to the NU. Move the closest CU further away from the NU. Use QMT or the Cel-Fi WAVE portal to Enable the CU if it is Disabled. The Network Unit is receiving too strong a donor signal and may operate with reduced gain (the signal source could be any Operators cell tower if close enough, or it could be another indoor cellular solution in close proximity to the Network Unit donor antennas). If internal antennas used, move the Network Unit to another location. You might need to move your system to the other side of your building. If external antennas used, move or re-aim the external antennas away from the strong cellular signal source. BLINKING RED 26 27 Location Lock Registration Required System Disabled. Port keeps resetting If a Small Cell donor is used, make sure the coaxial connections to the Small Cell have the supplied attenuators installed. Your system has been moved from its previous Registration location. Please reregister your system at its new location using QMT or the Cel-Fi WAVE portal, or move the system back to its original location. The system has been remotely disabled. Please check for a notification message and contact your Operator or Vendor. A Coverage Unit LAN cable may be shorted. Unplug all Coverage Units, power cycle the system, and plug Coverage Unit cables back in one at a time to check where fault occurs

(fault could be in cabling, a Cel-Fi QUATRA Range Extender, or a Coverage Unit). If Cel-Fi QUATRA Range Extenders are used, verify that LAN cable length on either side of the Extenders does not exceed 100 meters. If none of the above works, try another power supply. If none of the above works, try another Network Unit. Verify that a live LAN Ethernet cable is connected to the Network Unit LAN port (not the LAN OUT port which is used to daisy-chain to another Network Unit LAN port). Check LAN firewall settings to the cloud (contact your IT Administrator). The NU uses port 443 for management traffic. Verify system performance and Cel-Fi WAVE cloud portal connectivity using QMT (QMT must have an active internet connection). Wait. System is in a setup state. If a red error indication occurs on the NU, CU LEDs may stay in the setup state until the NU error is cleared. Phones have signal but cant make calls Phone not seeing boosted signal Slow software update. If using a Small Cell donor, make sure the small cell is commissioned and transmitting. Make test calls using just the Small Cell signal to verify its operation (temporarily connect small cell antennas). Verify handset settings and compatibility against boosted channel bands and 3G/4G technologies. Due to network resource balancing, a handset may be directed by the network to use an unrelayed channel if that channel is adequate. This is normal and should not cause a service interruption. Software updates using QMT may take an hour or more due to Bluetooth limitations. Connect your NU LAN (Management) port to the Internet for faster updates. QMT/WAVE Management Connection Error Setup in progress BLINKING GREEN SOLID GREEN Troubleshooting: Accessories LED ISSUE TRY QRE All LEDs Flashing Any RJ45 Green LED is off between NU/QRE/CU Link is down Unplug the INPUT cable, wait 5 seconds, and plug it back in. If the condition persists the unit needs to be replaced. CU is not connected or cannot be seen. Check QRE to CU cable and/or CU. CU may be checked by plugging directly to back of NU or QRE Output with LAN test cable. Check NU QRE CU cables lengths (must not exceed 100 meters each, and use of patch panels may reduce maximum length). CHAPTER 7. TERMINOLOGY Active DAS.
