1 Overview
1.1 Introduction
The Baicells Nova-436Q is an outdoor 4x1W two-carrier eNodeB (eNB) product. The Nova-
436Q eNB is a high-performing outdoor micro cell that enables wired and wireless broadband
access to Long-Term Evolution (LTE) Time Division Duplexing (TDD) backbone networks. The
eNB makes use of the current LTE transmission resources to reduce the operator’s investment
in providing low-cost, enhanced coverage. Each Nova-436Q supports high-speed broadband
data services, helping telecom operators, broadband operators, and enterprises to serve
customers in locations that might otherwise be difficult to reach.
As a two-carrier eNB, the Nova-436Q hardware unit contains the equivalent of two separate
eNBs. Initially, the 436Q will operate in carrier aggregation (CA) mode or HaloB mode; a later
software upgrade will also support dual carrier (split) mode.
The eNB has 4 antenna ports and supports either one 4-port or two 2-port RF antenna
installations. Each eNB comes pre-configured to simplify the installation. Baicells provides
operators with local and Web-based Graphical User Interface (GUI) software applications to
configure and manage individual eNBs and User Equipment (UE).
Additionally, Baicells offers a centralized Software-as-a-Service (SAAS) solution called
CloudCore. CloudCore, also referred to as BaiCloud, includes all of the key LTE Evolved Packet
Core (EPC) network functions, an Operations Management Console (OMC) for managing
multiple sites across the network, and a Business and Operations Support System (BOSS) for
subscriber management.
In this document you will find a general description, guidelines, and procedures for installing,
entering basic configuration information, and verifying the operational status of the Nova-
436Q eNB, pictured in Figure 1–1.
Figure 1–1: Nova-436Q eNB

1.2 Features
Nova-436Q is based on 3GPP Release 12 standards and supports carrier aggregation and HaloB
(optional feature) operation. CA provides the ability to aggregate channels from across the full
Citizens Broadband Radio System (CBRS) range, even channels that are not adjacent. HaloB is
an optional feature that enables the eNB to function independently with no EPC core network
connection. A future software upgrade will also support dual carrier (split) mode.
Detailed technical specifications for the 436Q are in Appendix A and are updated as needed
via the Baicells website. Following is a list of other key features:
•Standard LTE TDD Bands 42/43/48 (3550 – 3700 MHz)
•Complies with 3GPP Release 13 standards
•Supports 2 carriers, and will be software upgradeable to split mode and other features

2.3 Location & Environment
In addition to network planning, when determining where to place the eNB you need to
consider factors such as climate, hydrology, geology, the possibility of earthquakes, reliable
electric power, and transportation access. Avoid locating the eNB in areas where there may be
extreme temperatures, harmful gases, unstable voltages, volatile vibrations, loud noises,
flames, explosives, or electromagnetic interference (e.g., large radar stations, transformer
substations). Avoid areas prone to impounded water, soaking, leakage, or condensation.
2.4 Grounding & Lightning Protection
You must protect the eNB, antenna, and GPS against lightning. All Nova eNBs use a floating
ground on the power line. Following are guidelines concerning grounding.
The yellow-green ground wire must be at least 16mm2 in diameter.
In principle, always place the grounding as near as possible to the equipment.
Connect to a reliable outdoor grounding point (earth) using one ground screw.
The connection of the grounding points and ground bar need to be tight and reliable.
Rustproofing the terminals, e.g., with anti-oxidant coating or grease, is required.
2.5 Weatherproofing
To protect the connection points from weather and climate, clean each connection point
before installing cold shrink tubes, per the following (Figure 2–2).
1. Insert the cable into the cold shrink tube.
2. Tighten the connector.
3. Push the cold shrink tube to the top joint, and pull out the strip.
4. Ensure the cold shrink tube is tightly fitted with the connection.

Figure 3–10: Check LEDs
3.6 Configure Basic Parameters
Reference: Baicells Configuration & Network Administration Guide
The Nova-436Q eNB may be configured in Single Carrier, Single Carrier with Carrier
Aggregation (CA), or HaloB mode. When first installing and testing the Nova-436Q, Baicells
recommends configuring the standard single carrier settings (without enabling CA or HaloB)
for simple verification that the new eNB is operational.
3.6.1 Launch the eNB GUI
Follow the steps below to connect to the GUI.
Step 1: Use an Ethernet cable to connect the eNB DATA port to the local network
routed to the internet. The DATA interface is set to DHCP client by default.
Optionally, you can plug a pc directly into the eNB MGMT port. On your pc you will
need to assign a static IP address within the MGMT subnet. The default IP address
for the MGMT interface is http://192.168.150.1/24.
Step 2: Open a Web browser, and enter the following IP address: http://192.168.150.1
Step 3: At the login screen (Figure 3-16), enter the default user name (admin) and
password (admin) and click on Login to open the home page (Figure 3–11).
Figure 3–11: GUI Login

17
The home page BTS Info > Basic Info menu reports the current eNB status (Figure 3–12). In
section 3.6.7 you will come back to this page to confirm the eNB status.
Figure 3–12: Home Page
3.6.2 Basic Configuration Overview
Figure 3–13 indicates 3 main areas of basic configuration: network interfaces, management
server address; and some quick settings pertaining to key LTE parameters.
Figure 3–13: Configuration Flow

18
3.6.3 Configure Network Interfaces
The network interfaces defined as part of the initial, basic setup include the WAN, LAN,
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and the Local Gateway (LGW) mode.
3.6.3.1 WAN/LAN
Go to the Network > WAN/LAN menu (Figure 3–14). The WAN interface is an external
communication portal (Internet connection) between the eNB’s Network Management
System (NMS) – in most cases, the CloudCore OMC - and the Mobility Management Entity
(MME). If not using CloudCore, the eNB’s NMS may be a Local OMC or the LTE NMS. All of the
Internet / WAN fields are described in Table 3-1: Internet/WAN.
If the the Connect Via field is set to DHCP and the LGW function is enabled (section 3.6.3.2),
the Connect Type field must be modified. The IP address of the eNB will be changed due to the
MAC address being changed. Therefore, modify the router server at the same time.
The Local Network / LAN interface is used only as a local maintenance port during initial eNB
setup and basic configuration; it is not used during normal eNB operation. Enter the IP address
and subnet mask address for the local network connection. The default IP address for the LAN
interface is 192.168.150.1.
NOTE: If the LAN IP address is changed, the eNB will reboot and you will have to log
in to the GUI again.
