1. Introduction
1.1 Description
The Baicells Simple Network Access Point (SNAP) Power over Ethernet (PoE) Router, model EP3011, is an on-
premise Wi-Fi access point (Figure 1). The router provides comprehensive routing capabilities to multiple
users accessing the Internet through a Baicells outdoor unit (ODU) Customer Premise Equipment (CPE) device.
The router provides PoE power to the ODU through the local area network (LAN) connection, thus eliminating
the need for a separate power connection and adaptor for the CPE.
Wi-Fi signals from users' mobile phones, laptops, and tablets pass through the SNAP router and are
forwarded to the ODU CPE where the Wi-Fi signals are changed to Long-Term Evolution (LTE) signals and sent
to an eNodeB (eNB), or base station, and then on to the high-speed LTE network. The SNAP router supports
2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi and may be used with the Baicells Outdoor Low-Gain or Outdoor High-Gain CPEs.

1.2 Supported ODU CPEs
SNAP PoE Router model EP3011 can power on passive PoE devices, and by default is configured in LTE Indoor
Unit (IDU) mode. In LTE IDU mode, the router connects to a Baicells outdoor CPE and works in Bridge mode.
The WAN port is used as a trunk port and cannot connect to other devices such as non-supported, third-party
CPEs and optical or ADSL modems. The following Baicells ODU CPEs are supported:
• Atom OD04H - Outdoor CAT4 high-gain CPE, model EG7035E
• Atom OD04L - Outdoor CAT4 low-gain CPE, model EG7035L
• Atom OD06H - Outdoor CAT6/7 high-gain CPE, model EG7010A
• Atom OD06L - Outdoor CAT6/7 low-gain CPE, model EG7010C
• Atom OD12H - Outdoor CAT12 high-gain CPE, model EG8050A (future availability)
These Baicells outdoor CPEs run on software that is specific for use with the SNAP router. Check the Baicells
website under Resources > Firmware to download the software, or contact Baicells support for assistance.
