3.7.3 Basic Configuration Overview
Figure 3-17 indicates four main steps for basic configuration: network interfaces, management
server address, quick settings pertaining to key LTE parameters, and the carrier setting.

3.7.4 Configure Network Interfaces
The network interfaces defined as part of the initial, basic setup include the WAN/LAN/VLAN
interfaces, Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP), and the Local Gateway (LGW) mode.
3.7.4.1
WAN/LAN/VLAN
Go to the
Network > WAN/LAN/VLAN
menu (Figure 3-18). The WAN interface is an external
communication portal (Internet connection) between the eNB Network Management System
(NMS) – in most cases, the CloudCore OMC – and the Mobility Management Entity (MME). If not
using CloudCore, the eNB NMS may be a Local OMC or the LTE NMS. The
WAN/LAN/VLAN
fields
are described in Table 3-1.
If the
IP Access Mode
field is set to
DHCP
and the
LGW
function is
ON
), the
Connect
Type
field must be modified. The IP address of the eNB will be changed due to the MAC address
being changed. Therefore, modify the router server at the same time.
The
LAN Config
interface is used only as a local maintenance port during initial eNB setup and basic
configuration; it is not used during normal eNB operation. Enter the IP address and subnet mask
address for the local network connection. The default IP address for the LAN interface is
192.168.150.1.
