All-in-One. 5G NR Radio Configuration
This document describes the configuration of the integrated Next Generation Node B (gNB) for software version BaiBBU_QSS_1.1.x. It is a guide on how to configure the device after completing installation.
Overview
The All-in-One. 5G NR Next Generation Node B (gNB) is loaded with its own GUI for configuring its operating parameters. You can log in to the GUI either locally through the Local Maintenance Terminal (LMT), which is an Ethernet port, or remotely via an IP address.
After the gNB is powered on, configure the gNB to start services and access UEs, providing voice and data service. When configuring a newly installed gNB, we recommend you follow the flow that is shown in Figure 1.
Before configuring the device, data planning needs to be done first. The data to configure includes local parameters and network parameters. These parameters are either provided by the user or determined after negotiation with the customers.
The data to prepare includes network parameters, cell parameters, protocol parameters, software version, etc., as shown in Table 1.

Connect Client Web to Base Station
Connect the Ethernet interface of the computer to the network interface of the base station with the Ethernet cable.
Set Up Client Computer
Before logging into the Web client, the client computer’s IP address needs to be set up first so that the connection between the client and the server is possible. Take Windows 10 as an example:
- Open Control Panel from the Start Menu, then go to Network and Internet.
- Choose View network status and tasks, and then click Local Connectivity in the resulting window.
- Within the Status of Local Connectivity, click on Properties to open the Properties Local Connectivity pop-up window.
- Choose Internet Protocol Version (TCP/IPV4) and click Properties to access the window, as shown in Figure 2.
Select either Obtain an IP address automatically or Use the following IP address:
- If Obtain an IP address automatically is chosen, proceed to step 7
- If Use the following IP address is selected, follow step 5 to step 7
In general, if the Obtain an IP address automatically setting fails, one needs to set up the IP address manually.
- Select Use the following IP address.
- Enter the IP address for the Operation and Maintenance (OAM) interface, along with the subnet mask and default gateway, then click OK to save the settings.
- IP address:
192.168.150.XXX
(recommended XXX: 100~254).
Avoid using '192.168.150.7' since it's already assigned to the LAN interface of the base station.
- Subnet mask:
255.255.255.0
- Default gateway:
192.168.150.7
The default OAM IP address is 192.168.150.7/24
. If the gNB configures IP address in other segments, you should configure according to your actual network environment.
- Open a command window and run the 'ping
192.168.150.XXX
command to test the connection between the client computer and the server. If the ping command does not succeed, contact network engineers to verify network connectivity.
GUI Log In
- Open a web browser, and enter http://192.168.150.7, as shown in Figure 3.
This guide uses the initial IP address 192.168.150.7
. If the IP address is changed, log in through the new IP address.
- Input user name, password, and click Login. The homepage is shown in Figure 4.
Default credentials:
username:new_user
password:gNB@2014
For security reasons, you should change the password after you first log in rather than leaving the default value.
The menus and information may vary by product type or software version.
The homepage displays the navigation pane on the left, and shows the window for the first menu: Basic Setting and then Basic Info. This window is like a dashboard for the device.
- Basic info: shows information such as the hardware version, software version, and serial number, and many more.
