BaiBS_RTSH_2.4.1 for Nova R9 base stations has been released. This version adds some additional HaloB features and bug fixes. HaloB now supports two modes: Centralized and Standalone. Centralized mode is selected by default and utilizes the cloud OMC+BOSS to dynamically allow the eNB to download the subscriber profiles from the operator’s CloudCore account. Standalone mode is the newly introduced HaloB mode which removes the OMC+BOSS requirement and allows for subscriber profiles to be manually entered into the eNB. Plug-and-play allows operators to configure eNB settings prior to powering on the eNB for the first time. If plug-and-play is enabled in the OMC, then the eNB will automatically download the software version and configuration file as preconfigured for the desired eNB. The LGW data trafic report will be visible in the next cloud OMC+BOSS upgrade.
SUPPORTED HARDWARE: Nova 243 (2*10W eNB | BRU3501,3510,3511), Nova 233 (2*1W eNB | mBS1100,1105), Nova 227 (2*250mW eNB | pBS2120).
KNOWN ISSUES:
a) HaloB Standalone mode will be grayed out as the feature is not ready yet and it requires an additional key to unlock. For those who wish to test this feature, please reach out to your Baicells sales representative to request a HaloB standalone key. This additional license key requirement for standalone mode will be removed in a future software release.
b) HaloB VxLAN mode is for demo purposes only and is not yet commercially ready. This function will be grayed out as well.
DISCLAIMER: It is recommended to upgrade to BaiBS_RTSH_2.2.2 or B110SPC009 or newer first before upgrading to this software version.
