QRTB 2.3.6 - New eNB software has been released!

QRTB 2.3.6 for Nova 436Q and Neutrino 430 TDD base stations has been released. This version mainly improves on the SAS configuration procedure and adds a number of new features including 64 user support, SNMP, and multi-VLAN.

Supported Hardware:
Nova 436Q (4*1W eNB | mBS31001)
Neutrino 430 (4*250mW eNB | pBS31010)

:warning: NOTICE: MIDDLE UPGRADE IS REQUIRED. Previous software configuration is not fully supported in the new release. If upgrading from software QRTB 2.0.7 or older, you will need to upgrade to middle release version QRTB 2.0.8 first. If an upgrade to QRTB 2.3.6 is performed without upgrading to the middle release, then it is highly suggested to reset the eNB’s configuration back to default.

:triangular_flag_on_post: Known Issues:

  1. When LGW is disabled (local EPC setup), a GTP-U packet processing error may occur and cause an eNB reboot. The bug fix has been added to temporary release BaiBS_QRTB_2.3.5_20200821.IMG.
  2. DC mode using two antennas is not supported with SAS.
  3. Restoring configuration to default will reset WAN interface to copper.
