1.Product Overview
Introduction1.1
Baicells Nova-227 is high performance outdoor micro eNodeB based on TDD LTE
technology, which is developed by Baicells. The Nova-227 supports wired backhaul
connections to backbone networks, and provides LTE access to user terminals,
implemented voice and data service transmissions.
The Nova-227 makes use of the current transmission resources to reduce the
operator’s investment, implement the low-cost construction of LTE networks and
enhance indoor coverage, thereby providing high-speed broadband access for
users in assembly occupations.
The Nova-227 can be widely used by telecom operators, broadband operators, and
enterprises, etc.

2.1.2 Installation Environment
2.1.2.1 Locational Requirements
Environments with high-temperatures, harmful gases, unstable voltages, volatile
vibrations, loud noises, flames, explosives, and electromagnetic interference (large radar
stations, transmitting stations, transformer substations) are not suitable for the operation
of Nova-227, and thus should be avoided.
Places prone to have impounded water, soaking, leakage, or condensation, should also
be avoided.
Factors like climate, hydrology, geology, earthquake, electric power, and transportation
should be taken into consideration in the construction process so that a proper location
can be chosen to meet the communication engineering environmental requirements, as
well as the technical requirements of network planning and communication equipment.

Connect Cable2.4
Before connect cables, unscrew the three screws on the cover of wiring cavity using M4
cross screwdriver and open the wiring cavity.
After complete the connection, close the cover and fasten screws.
Note: If the base station need to debug, connect the LAN interface to PC first and configure the IP
address of the PC with 192.168.150.x.
Connect Ground Cable

CAUTION:
It is unlikely to happen but since the LTE eNodeB is a kind of very sophisticated
equipment, so it is recommended to test it on the ground to make sure everything is
functioning before install on the tower.
Power ON2.6
After the Nove-227 is powered on, indicators can hint the status of the eNodeB.
