1 Introduction
The Baicells Atom OD040615 Outdoor Low-Gain and High-Gain Customer Premise Equipment (CPE), aka
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 CPE communicates
through a wireless connection to the operator's eNodeBs (eNBs) at cell sites located in the region. The
eNBs communicate with the backhaul network (Figure 1).
Figure 1: LTE Network Architecture
The LTE standards organization that defines certain characteristics of user equipment across
manufacturers describes each progression of the standards as releases, such as Release 9, Release 10,
etc., and categories, such as Category 4 (CAT4) and Category 6/7/15 (CAT6/7/15).
The Outdoor Unit (ODU) CPE comes preloaded with a Graphical User Interface (GUI) application to
configure the device. The GUI menus and screens for CAT4 and CAT6/7/15 look different, though both
contain many of the same types of settings. This document covers both GUIs and points out where there
are differences.
