Preliminaries
=============
-In order to install and configure the Sercomm eNB, we should prepare following device:
+Prepare the following devices:
-* Laptop or PC
-* USB-Ethernet adapter or Ethernet port on Laptop/PC
-* CAT5/6/7 cable
* Sercomm eNB
-* 1G-10G converter
+* 10GbE SFP+ to 1/10GbE copper media converter
+* Workstation to remotely access and configure the eNB
-Also, we should know the below information:
+Collect the following information:
+* eNB IP address
* MME IP address (10.168.0.6 by default)
* TAC
* Cell ID
-How to access the Sercomm eNB admin UI?
-=======================================
-The default Sercomm eNB has default configuration values which are not working within the Aether/Pronto edge.
-In order to configure the Sercomm eNB, we need to access the Sercomm eNB admin web UI.
-We can initially access the UI through the LAN port on the Sercomm eNB device.

+ ``Cell ID`` and ``TAC`` are critical parameters and the values must
+ be assigned the by OPs team.
-The above figure depicts the Sercomm eNB port panel which has two Ethernet ports, one power port, and one GPS port.
-We should make a physical link between the laptop/PC and LAN port on the Sercomm eNB.
-In the above figure, the yellow cable should be connected to the laptop/PC.
-Once the physical link is established,
-the Ethernet interface on the laptop/PC should have an IP address in 11.11.11.0/24 subnet.
-The Sercomm eNB will automatically assign the IP address to the Ethernet interface on the laptop/PC,
-since the eNB is working as a DHCP server.
-Of course, the interface should be set to DHCP, not static.
+Connect the eNB
+===============
-.. note::
+Connect the eNB to the fabric switch through the media converter and power on,
+then it will automatically get pre-configured IP address using DHCP.
+Verify that you can access the web-based configuration(`https://<eNB IP>`) from your workstation.
+If the eNB address is not directly reachable, use the management server as a jump host.
- If the Sercomm eNB does not assign the IP address on the laptop/PC's Ethernet interface, please double-check the physical link.
- Or, it is possible to assign the static IP address on the laptop/PC's Ethernet interface. Aforementioned before, the IP address should be in 11.11.11.0/24 subnet.
+The default credentials for the Sercomm eNB are:
-After the Ethernet interface on the laptop/PC has the IP address in 11.11.11.0/24 subnet,
-we can access the Sercomm eNB.
-We can open the Web browser (e.g., Chrome, Firefox, etc.), and go to `https://11.11.11.188`. Then, we can see the below login page on the Web browser.

-With the below credentials, we can log in the UI:
-
-* ID: ``sc_femto``
+* Username: ``sc_femto``
* Password: ``scHt3pp`` (or ``sc_femto``)
-After log-in, we can see the state page.

-Network configuration
-=====================
-We should then configure the IP address on the WAN port which will be connected to the Tofino switch.
-The network configuration page shows up when we click `NetWork set` button on the top menu bar.
-
-.. image:: images/enb-ser-4.png
- :alt: Sercomm eNB UI network configuration page
-
-In this page, we should change four values in the `IP Address section`.
-
-* Connected type: Static IP
-* IP Address: 192.168.251.5
-* Network mask: 255.255.255.0
-* Gateway address: 192.168.251.1
-
-The IP address in this menu is the IP address for the WAN port.
-The Gateway address is the SD-Fabric IP address.
-After pushing those values on the network configuration page, click the `Save` button at the bottom.
-
-.. note::
- No need to touch any other parameters in this configuration page.

LTE configuration
=================
-Next, we should configure the LTE parameters.
-Click the `Manage` button on the top menu bar and then go to the `LTE Basic Setting` tab.

-Among those parameters, we should carefully set values to CellIdentity and TAC.
-Those parameters are the preliminaries which ONF OPs team will assign to each site.

+SAS configuration
+=================
-Then, click `SAS Configuration` tab in the same page.

* Elevation: `-18000`
-Do not forget to click the save button at the bottom after pushing values.

-In this page, we have to check a single radio box, `AdminState` in the `FAPService_FAPControl_LTE` section.
-Then, click the `Save` button at the bottom.
-This is the all steps to configure the Sercomm eNB.
+Reboot the eNB
+==============
-Connect the Sercomm eNB to the fabric switch
-============================================
-After the above configuration, we should power off the Sercomm eNB and connect the eNB WAN port to the fabric switch.
-The Sercomm eNB is actually has 1G WAN port, although the fabric switch has 40G interfaces.
-Therefore, we should use the 1G-10G converter in which the 1G port is connected with the Sercomm eNB
-whereas the 10G port is connected to 10G-40G breakout cable linked to the fabric switch.
-
-.. note::
- Alternatively, we can use an any 1G/10G switch, if we do not have a 1G-10G converter.
-
-Then, power on the Sercomm eNB device and get rid of the LAN port cable.
-
-.. note::
- Without the LAN port cable, we can access the Sercomm eNB admin UI through
- `https://192.168.251.5` URL, if the laptop/PC is connected to the same
- network via the fabric switch.
-
- For our convenience, we can optionally add forwarding rules into the
- firewall configuration on the management node to access the Sercomm eNB
- admin UI from outside the network.
+Reboot the eNB to make all changes take effect.

Connectivity check
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
In order to check the connectivity, we can use the Sercomm eNB admin UI.
-Open the web browser and go to `https://192.168.251.5` and log in.
-Then, click the `Manage` menu and go to the `IP Diagnose` tab.

-In this page, check the ping menu and write down the IP address `192.168.251.1` in the white box.
-Then, click the `Run` button.
-
+In this page, check the ``ping`` menu, put IP address to test in the text box, and click ``Run`` button.
After a few seconds, we can see the ping results.
-If there is no results, the connectivity between the eNB and the fabric switch has a problem.
-Otherwise, the fabric switch is not up and running correctly.
