- Mikrotik RB4011 router
- Configuration data to connect the eNodeB to Monogoto cloud Reach out to [email protected] if you haven't received the config data yet
The Baicells eNodeB can work in two ways:
- 1.Regular configuration - Network Control and Data is going to Monogoto’s cloud
- 2.Local Break Out configuration (called LGW in Baicells terminology) - Network Control and Data are separated. The Control messages are going to Monogoto’s cloud, the user data is going straight to the (local) Internet via the router that is connected to the eNodeB.
In this manual, we are using the local break out configuration using bridge mode.
Connect the ethernet cable to the Mikrotik RB4011 router and connect the power cable.
Open the cover on the side of the Nova227 and connect an ethernet cable to the Mikrotik RB4011 router.
Connect the power cable to the Nova227.
The ACT LED and PWR LED will turn green. The RUN LED will start rapidly flashing green, once an an Internet connection has been established it will start flashing slowly.
