7.8 Configure SAS
References:
CPE Configuration Guide
The Citizens Broadband Radio Service (CBRS) covers the once-regulated 3.55-3.7 GHz band. What makes
CBRS especially different is the way the 3.55-3.7 GHz band may be accessed as a "shared" spectrum, where
spectrum resources are dynamically assigned and released on an as-needed basis. Shared spectrum
assignment is handled by approved Spectrum Access System (SAS) vendors. The CBRS equipment is
configured to connect to a SAS vendor for band assignment. When the assigned band is no longer needed,
SAS can free it up so that other users can operate in that band.
The SAS feature is available to operators who have acquired the appropriate software license to operate
certified network elements in SAS mode. The CBRS Service Devices (CBSDs), such as the Baicells eNBs and
CPEs, must also go through certification, and must be installed by a Certified Professional Installer (CPI) in
order to lawfully operate within the designated spectrum of CBRS. The CBSDs are identified by categories
based on output power, Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP), and Power Spectral Density (PSD).
Under these guidelines, the Baicells outdoor CPEs are classified as Category B.
The
CPE Configuration Guide
Deployment Guide
provides a full overview and procedures for implementing SAS operation across
all of the Baicells components. Refer to these documents when you are ready to implement SAS.
NOTE 1: The first generation (Gen 1) Baicells CPEs do not support SAS.
NOTE 2: If you are not sure if the CPE you are working with is certified, please check with your Baicells sales
representative.
NOTE 3: Before implementing SAS, verify basic CPE operation, i.e., it can connect to the network (see
section
7.9).
7.9 Verify Network Connection

CPE Configuration Guide
Now, the minimal (basic) configuration settings for the CPE are complete. With the CPE powered on, you
should be able to connect to the Internet. If you have trouble connecting, go through this sequence of
actions:
1. Retrace and verify the installation and basic configuration steps.
2. Refer to
section 8
3. Contact your support team for assistance.
For configuration of additional features as well as more in-depth information about the CPE GUI, refer to
