5G BROAD Configuration Guideline 1. Introduction This document explains the default configuration of the Fivecomm 5G BROAD product and the steps for setting a new 5G network connection, Wi-Fi Access Point and Port-Forwarding configuration. 1.1 Initial settings 1) First the antennas/RF cables must be connected.
Page 4 5G BROAD Configuration Guideline • For 5G NSA the recommended configuration is using antennas for all 6 SMA connectors(row with 4 SMA connectors for high bands and row with 2 SMA connectors for low bands) as shown in the following picture.

Management Interface, which is recommended for configuration. 5G Broad can be configured connecting an Ethernet cable to any laptop. To be able to connect with the 5G Broad you must check that DHCP is enabled on the PC. Control Panel -> Network and Internet -> Network and Sharing Center Here choose the wired connection with 5G BROAD and press Ethernet following the steps shown in the pictures below.
Page 6 5G BROAD Configuration Guideline Figure 4. PC DHCP enabling Press OK, now you have enabled DHCP for the connection of the PC with the 5G BROAD, and you will be able to connect to it using PuTTY or Web Management Interface.
Page 7 5G BROAD Configuration Guideline • Web Management Interface To access the WMI open any browser and type the IP 192.168.1.1 in the address bar, it will open the interface as in the following figure. Figure 5. Web Management Interface login page Here introduce the Username and the Password as mentioned above, press Login and you will get to the main page.

5G BROAD Configuration Guideline 3. 5G Configuration 3.1 5G SA Configuration: PuTTY: Download and Open the PuTTY app, and insert the IP 192.168.1.1, keep port 22 and connection type SSH as shown in the picture below. Figure 9. PuTTY start interface...
Page 10 Figure 10. PuTTY login interface Here we insert the login (root), press Enter, insert password (fivecomm) and press Enter again. Now we get into the PuTTY CLI where we can interact with the 5G BROAD as shown in the figure below.
Page 11 5G BROAD Configuration Guideline For 5G SA connection we should modify the connection profile with the right APN. For this use the following command: qmicli -p -d /dev/cdc-wdm0 –wds-modify-profile=3gpp,1,apn="APN_to_use" Then check that the profile was modified successfully using the next command:...
Page 12 5G BROAD Configuration Guideline Figure 14. Example of network interface configuration Once the parameters have been saved, press Save & Apply and Restart the interface. Then the connection should be up, and the IP address assigned will be shown. Figure 15. Saving changes and restarting the new created wwan0 network...
Page 13 After pressing Create Interface button, the following window will appear Figure 18. Configuration window of a network interface in WMI If the configuration doesn´t take effect, first try restarting the 5G BROAD and if it still fails to connect verify that the 5G configuration has been added to the /etc/config/network file.

5G BROAD Configuration Guideline When adding a new rule, the user can specify a rule Name, Protocol, Source Zone, External port (destination port in the incoming traffic), Destination Zone which will be lan, Internal IP address and Internal port. Figure 21. Configuration window for adding a new Port-Forwarding rule To enable the added rule, check the enabling check mark as in the following figure Figure 22.

RSRP: '-97 dBm' SNR: '11.0 dB' RSRQ: '-12 dB' 7. Troubleshooting the connection For the connection of the 5G Broad there are two steps that need to be met for proper functioning: 1. Network registration 2. Connection activation If the device is not connecting. These two steps should be verify in that order.
