1. Introduction 1.1. Description The Baicells Atom OD15 Outdoor Low-Gain and Outdoor High-Gain User Equipment (UE) is part of a broadband wireless access system that integrates with Long-Term Evolution (LTE) backhaul networks to provide subscribers with Internet access. The UE, also referred to as Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), communicates through a wireless connection to the operator’s eNodeB’s (eNB) at cell sites located in the region. The eNBs communicate with the backhaul network.
a) NAT Mode, the ODU work as a LTE and Ethernet Gateway, it converts LTE network data to local Ethernet data. b) Tunnel Mode, the ODU can build a L2 or L3 VPN tunnel with a designated VPN server. c) Bridge Mode, the ODU can bridge it LTE IP address to LAN port devices, when configured as the bridge, the CPE’s LAN port will work as trunk mode, so it can’t assign IP address to any no-trunk devices (like PC), so you have to Manual Configure the PC’s IP address in the same broadcast domain (e.g. 192.168.150.
1.3. Features The Baicells Atom UEs provide robust throughput and are designed for growth and expansion as technology evolves. Some of the key features and attributes of the Atom outdoor UEs are listed below. Exact specifications vary by model. For the latest information, please refer to the Baicells website for your specific UE model. • Standardized LTE TDD bands 42, 43, 48. Customization may be requested.
1 each Atom OD15 Mounting Bracket You will need standard tools, Ethernet cable, ground wire, and RJ-45 connectors for installing and connecting the outdoor unit (Table 2). Table 2: Materials Item Description Ethernet Cable Ground Wire Outdoor shield CAT5E, shorter than 330 feet 16mm2 yellow-green wire 2.2. LEDs & Interfaces On the low-gain UE the LEDs are on the side of the unit, and the connection interfaces are on the bottom of the unit.
Interfaces SIM/USIM Slot RESET GND Description Universal Subscriber Identity Module card slot, 1.8V/3.0V USIM 2FF Reset/restore button Ground lug. The unit is connected to Earth by conductor. 2.3. CPE Software The firmware of the CPE should be BaiCE_BG_1.5.4 or above, if the CPE is not running this version, please download it from the Baicells website > Resources > Firmware or contact Baicells support. 2.4. Login The CPE comes preloaded with a GUI to configure the device.
The Device Info pane displays the product name, software version, serial number, etc. The LTE Status pane shows important operational information, such as the CPE's SIM card status and its IMSI and IMEI numbers, wireless frequency being used, eNB connection status, and current signal strength and quality. Under Throughput Statistics you will see downlink (DL) and uplink (UL) data rates for current throughput (kbps), average rates, peak rates, and total throughput.
Figure 6: LAN Status Figure 7: Device List Table 3: Status Field Name Description Connection State Connection status between the CPE and the network – either Checking SIM, Scanning, Registering, Acquiring IP, Connected, or Disconnected Signal Intensity Indicates the strength of the signal between this CPE and the serving eNB, either excellent, good, general, bad, or severe. The ODU CPE hardware typically displays 1 to 5 LEDs to indicate this level (Figure 3&4).
EARFCN The E-UTRA Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (band and frequency) within which the CPE operates Bandwidth The range of frequencies within the band the CPE may use for wireless communications with an eNB, expressed in MHz CINR The Channel Signal-to-Interference-plus-Noise Ratio reflects the signal strength of the signal received from the two antennas in the eNB, expressed in decibels (dB) NOTE: Additional SINR values are reported when a transmitting device is using more than two antennas.
2.6. Network Menu 2.6.1. LAN Settings Enter the Network > LAN DHCP Server enable, IP address, subnet mask, DHCP range, lease time, UPNP enable. Figure 8: DHCP Settings DHCP Static Leases settings can set by the host’s MAC address.
2.6.2. WAN Settings 2.6.2.1. NAT Mode The CPE will be worked at NAT mode, and all 8 APNs can be configured by Default router/Data/Mgmt/Voip bear types. Figure 10: WAN Settings 2.6.2.2. Router Mode When selected Router mode, the CPE will worked at router mode, it can dynamic update router tables. Figure 11: Router Mode 2.6.2.3. Tunnel Mode This CPE can support L2TP and GER VPN mode.
Figure 12: Tunnel Mode 2.6.2.4. Bridge Mode When the CPE worked at Bridge mode, the WAN ports address will bridge to LAN port, and the LAN port will worked at trunk mode. Figure 13: Bridge Mode 2.6.2.5. Mixed Mode Mixed mode can configured every APN with different mode (e.g. Bridge), this is a professional mode.
Figure 14: Mixed Mode 2.6.3. Static Routes Set Static routes of the CPE, it can configure LAN or WAN port routes, Gateway, Destination Network and Route Subnet Mask, in Current Settings, show all activated static routes.
2.6.4. DMZ In technology, the DMZ refers to a firewall between incoming WAN traffic and the LAN to which the CPE is connected. Two basic DMZ methods are (a) using a single firewall, also known as the three-legged model, and (b) using dual firewalls (Figure 36). These architectures can be expanded to create complex architectures depending on the network requirements.
2.7. LTE Menu 2.7.1.1. Connection Settings LTE connection settings includes Roaming settings, Default connection settings and Power Scan Option. Figure 19: Connection Settings 2.7.1.2. Roaming setting If set Roam enable, the CPE can access to other PLMN network, else the CPE just can access the network PLMN same with the SIM card. 2.7.1.3. Default connection If set always on, the CPE will automatic access the LTE network after booting, if set manual, the CPE need manual connection to the LTE network.
Figure 21: Scan mode Settings 2.7.2. Edit APN Profile An Access Point Name (APN) is the name of a gateway between a 3G/4G mobile network and another computer network, frequently the public Internet. Generally, multiple APNs are used for different business flows such as TR-069 management, voice, data, etc., and may support different services and QoS levels for different subscribers. Figure 22: APN Profiles The CPE supports 8 APN configurations.
Figure 23: PIN Management 2.7.4. Cell selection The Cell selection determines which frequencies the CPE’s routine scan of available frequencies will cover. Scanning is a process of tuning to a specific frequency and measuring the simplest signal quality [e.g., Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI)].

Figure 27: PCI Only Lock 2.7.5. SIM Lock Settings This feature may be used to lock the SIM card to the operator's network (Figure 48). Each operator has a unique Public Land Mobile Network (PLMN) number. Locking the SIM prohibits the users from accessing another operator's network. Figure 28: Throughput Statistics 2.7.6. MTU This is for setting the MTU of WAN (LTE) port, the range is from 1280 to 1500 Bytes.
2.8. Security Menu 2.8.1. IP Filtering When using a firewall server in the local network, invoke this setting to enable or disable the firewall for this CPE (Figure 50). Figure 30: Firewall Basic Settings When enable IP/Port Filtering, then the IP/Port Filter can be set.

2.9. NAT Menu 2.9.1. Port Forwarding When NAT mode is enabled as the WAN interface type (section 3.5.2), you can redirect a communication request from one address and port number combination to another. Only the IP address on the WAN side is open to the Internet.
Figure 40: Port Triggering Settings 2.9.3. ALG The Application Layer Gateway (ALG) function provides a security component that augments a firewall or the NAT used by the CPE (if WAN Network Mode = NAT). It allows customized NAT traversal filters to be plugged into the gateway to support address and port translation for certain application layer control/data protocols such as SIP, TFTP, PPTP, L2TP and IPSeC.
2.10.2. WEB Settings WEB Setting provides the ability to configure and manage the CPE remotely (Figure 63). This is especially helpful when a user calls in for technical assistance. In section 3.3 Login, you used this Web application with the default URL of http://192.168.150.1. for a description of each field. Figure 43: WEB Settings 2.10.3. NTP The operator's network may may use up to 4 Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers to provide correct timeof-day to network devices.
