# Baicells Nova 227 The Nova227 is an outdoor microcell eNodeB with 2 times 250mW output power. It supports the LTE Bands: 38, 39, 40, 41, 42, 43 and 48 and comes with an RJ-45 ethernet backhaul. ![Baicells Nova227](/files/v4IOR1MosdVtRAGNqjC7) ### Quick Navigation * [Getting Started](#getting-started) * [Nova227 Configuration](#configuration-of-the-nova227) * [Useful Links](#useful-links) ### Prerequisites * Baicells Nova227 * Mikrotik RB4011 router * Configuration data to connect the eNodeB to Monogoto cloud\ \&#xNAN;*Reach out to **** if you haven't received the config data yet* ## Getting Started {% hint style="info" %} 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***. {% endhint %} 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. ## Local Break Out Configuration of the Nova227 #### Connect your computing to the eNodeB * Connect the Nova227 to your computing using an **Ethernet cable**. * Wait for the Nova227 to start up * Open the web browser (Firefox is preferred) and enter [**http://192.168.150.1**](http://192.168.150.1) * Login using the username and password: `admin` / `admin`\ {% hint style="warning" %} Make sure to update the password after your first login.
