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.

Figure 125: gNB Configuration Flow

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:

  1. Open Control Panel from the Start Menu, then go to Network and Internet.
  2. Choose View network status and tasks, and then click Local Connectivity in the resulting window.
  3. Within the Status of Local Connectivity, click on Properties to open the Properties Local Connectivity pop-up window.
  4. Choose Internet Protocol Version (TCP/IPV4) and click Properties to access the window, as shown in Figure 2.
Figure 126: Internet Protocol Version4

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
NOTE

In general, if the Obtain an IP address automatically setting fails, one needs to set up the IP address manually.

  1. Select Use the following IP address.
  2. 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).
NOTE

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
NOTE

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.

  1. 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

  1. Open a web browser, and enter http://192.168.150.7, as shown in Figure 3.
NOTE

This guide uses the initial IP address 192.168.150.7. If the IP address is changed, log in through the new IP address.

Figure 127: GUI Login
  1. Input user name, password, and click Login. The homepage is shown in Figure 4.
    Default credentials:
    username: new_user
    password: gNB@2014
NOTE

For security reasons, you should change the password after you first log in rather than leaving the default value.

Figure 128: GUI Homepage
NOTE

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.

The process of a device moving from cell to cell and changing over from its serving gNB to a neighbor (target) gNB is called handoff or handover. The UE exchanges information with its serving gNB to perform cell selection and reselection based on parameters which you will set for each gNB.

Event Threshold

The A1 event is triggered when the serving cell’s Reference Signal Received Power (RSRP) is better than the A1 threshold. The A1 event can be used to turn off certain inter-cell measurements. The conditions for entering A1 event are shown in Formula 1, and the conditions for leaving A1 event are shown in Formula 2.

Formula 1:
(Ms - Hys) < Thresh
