Introduction 1.1. Description The Baicells Atom OD0406 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...

2. Insert the service provider's SIM/USIM card into the card slot (Figure 6). Attention: Never power on the unit while installing or uninstalling the USIM card. Doing so could damage the card and the unit. Figure 7: LTE Network Architecture 3.
Atom High-Gain UE: Connect the ground cable to the grounding screw in the ground row (Figure 6). The figure is showing the UE mounted on a pole; mounting is covered in step 8. 7. Plug the power adaptor into an electrical outlet (Figure 12). Pay attention to the power adaptor interface directions noted on the adaptor itself.
a3) Attach the UE to the bracket, and tighten the screw (Figure 18). Figure 19: Attach UE a4) The UE is now ready for installation at its final outside location. Then, proceed to section 7 Basic Configuration. 10. Wall installation: Low-Gain UE: a1) Slip the bracket off of the Atom unit, and fit it on the wall to mark the drilling locations (Figure 11), The marked locations, drill four 10-mm diameter and 70-mm depth holes.
7 Basic Configuration. 2.6. Installation with Baicells SNAP Router To explain the installation, the procedure in Table 3 uses a Baicells Atom OD04L Outdoor Low-Gain CPE as the example. Refer to the CPE user manual on the Baicells website to complete some steps as indicated.
NOTE: If either the CPE or the router is not running the correct firmware, the router's LTE signal LED will be OFF. Check for the latest firmware on the Baicells website, or contact Baicells support. The setup is complete and ready to work. To configure features using the CPE GUI, go to the next section.
Figure 23: Login Initially, use the default Username = admin/Password = admin (Figure 21). Once you are in the GUI, you will want to change the password; please refer section 3.9.1 Account. 3.4. Status Menu 3.4.1. Overview After logging in, the GUI opens to the Status > Overview page (Figure 24). This page is a dashboard of key information regarding the CPE.
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.

3.5.2. WAN Settings 3.5.2.1. 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 32: WAN Settings 3.5.2.2. Router Mode When selected Router mode, the CPE will worked at router mode, it can dynamic update router tables. Figure 33: Router Mode 3.5.2.3.
Figure 34: Tunnel Mode 3.5.2.4. 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 35: Bridge Mode 3.5.2.5. Mixed Mode Mixed mode can configured every APN with different mode (e.g. Bridge), this is a professional mode.
Figure 36: Mixed Mode 3.5.3. 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. Figure 37: Static routes...
3.5.4. 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.
3.6. LTE Menu 3.6.1. Connection Settings LTE connection settings includes Roaming settings, Default connection settings and Power Scan Option. Figure 41: Connection Settings 3.6.1.1. 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.
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.
Figure 45: PIN Management 3.6.4. 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.
Figure 49: PCI Only Lock 3.6.5. 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.
3.7. Security Menu 3.7.1. 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).

The address must be different from the IP address that is set for the LAN Host Settings parameter, but they must be on the same network segment.
3.9.1. Account This menu is used to change the login password for the CPE (Figure 62). The password must be 5 to 12 characters. Baicells recommends using a combination of upper- and lower-case letters and numbers. Figure 64: Account 3.9.2.
3.9.3. The operator's network may may use up to 4 Network Time Protocol (NTP) servers to provide correct time-of-day to network devices. In the CPE GUI you can refresh the local time display using the SYNC WITH BROWSER button; select the time zone that the CPE is in; and enable NTP client to use the default or specified NTP servers for synchronization (Figure 64).
Caution: Do not power off the CPE or disconnect it from the computer during an upgrade. To update (upgrade) the CPE to a different firmware version (Figure 67): 1. Download the image file from the Baicells support website (Baicells > Support > Downloads), and save it to your computer.
