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 (错误!未找到引用源。).
Figure 1: LTE Network Architecture
The outdoor low-gain or high-gain UE may be selected because of the distance between the user's location
and the closest eNB or for environments where there may be blockage or partial blockage in the wireless
signal path between the UE and eNBs in the area - e.g., dense trees or buildings.
As an LTE standards-based product, the Baicells equipment provides higher near-line-of-sight (nLOS) and
non-line-of-sight (NLOS) signal penetration than other wireless technologies. The high-gain UE has a higher
antenna gain than the low-gain UE, making it possible to get the strongest possible signal reception for
subscribers.
The LTE standards organization that defines certain characteristics of user equipment across manufacturers
labels each progression of the standards as releases, such as Release 9, Release 10, etc., and categories,
such as Category 4 (CAT4) and Category 6/7 (CAT6/7).
Typically the difference from one release/category to the next is in capacity, i.e., higher throughput. There
is no physical difference between the CAT4 and CAT6/7 UE, but the low-gain UE and the high-gain UE do
look different from one another. A physical comparison is provided in section 4.
1.2. ODU Modes
This device can work at two modes, ODU standalone or IDU+ODU mode.
(1) ODU standalone Mode
Standalone mode, ODU can worked at NAT/TUNNEL/BRIDGE mode

6
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. 192.168.150.88).
(2) IDU+ODU Mode
When the ODU connect to a IDU device (Baicells PoE router), it will automatic be configured as Bridge
mode, and assign all its LTE IP to IDU, at that mode, the IDU will take the place of ODU to control all the CPE
functions.
CAUTION:
Before contacting Baicells FAE or your distributor, please DO NOT mixed use the two
modes.

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. The data is measured during a 3-second interval
every 5 minutes. The APN Status pane displays any gateway connections. The bottom pane, Devices List,

Figure 15: Static routes

17
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.
Figure 16: DMZ
When the LAN has a DMZ/firewall server, you can enable DMZ on the CPE so that packets from the WAN
are forwarded to the firewall (Figure 37). Alternatively, you can enable Internet Control Message Protocol
(ICMP) redirect error messages to support Layer 2 multicast features.
Figure 17: DMZ Settings
2.6.5. UPnP
The Universal Plug & Play (UPnP) function provides a set of networking protocols that allows
device-to-device networking on a local network. When UPnP is enabled, devices seamlessly and
dynamically discover each other’s presence on the network and attach to one another and to network
services. Often, UPnP is used for streaming media between devices on the network.
Go to Security > UPnP to enable the CPE to be searched by other devices (Figure 38). Once enabled, any
redirects of traffic will display in the Active UPnP Redirects section of the window.
Figure 18: UPnP Settings

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.
2.7.1.2. 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 20: Default Connection Settings
2.7.1.3. Power Scan Option
The CPE support two power scan options, the first is First Detected Cell, and the second is the Strongest
Cell.

19
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. At least one APN (TR-069) must be configured when the CPE/eNB
connect to the Baicells CloudCore. In the window (Figure 42) you will select the APN number (1-8), enable it,
enter an APN Name, select the type of IP addressing (IPv4, IPv6, or IPv4v6), identify if it is the default
gateway, and choose which type of protocol will be supported on it.
2.7.3. PIN Management
Use the PIN Management feature if you want to require users to enter a PIN code before they can use the
CPE to access the network (Figure 43). Once the PIN is enabled, you will need to remember it if you want to
later modify the number. You are limited to 3 tries to enter the correct PIN code before getting locked out.
If this happens, contact your service provider (end-users) or Baicells support (service providers).

20
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)].
As part of the cell selection and re-selection process, the CPE performs the scan first and then selects a
small number of candidate cells to go through the next step of measuring and evaluating signals to select
the best eNB that can serve it. The CPE frequently (milliseconds) performs the scan to ensure it has the best
possible connection to the network. Refer Figure 44.
Figure 24: Cell selections
Select one of the following options:
Full Band (default) –All channels in the band.
−The CPE will routinely scan all channels in the band and all EARFCNs, increasing the time it
takes to connect compared to the other modes. The band is dependent on the CPE model.
Dedicated EARFCN –Specific EARFCNs or frequencies. (Figure 45)
−The CPE will scan the dedicated EARFCN or frequency list first when it is powered on.
−If the CPE cannot connect to the LTE network after scanning the list, it will scan other
supported bands and frequencies. You can add up to 10 EARFCNs or frequencies.
Cell Lock –A combination of PCI + EARFCN or frequency. (Figure 46)
−The CPE is limited to scanning a specific list of eNBs based on both their Physical Cell
Identifier (PCI) and EARFCN or frequency. The CPE will scan the list of eNBs with the
EARFCN and PCI combination. Using this mode can accelerate network access time.
PCI Lock –Specific PCIs only. Locks the CPE to a designated PCI or PCI range. (Figure 47)
After selecting an option, enter the required information and select ADD.
