3.7.3   Basic Configuration Overview 

Figure 3-13 indicates four main steps for basic configuration: network interfaces, management 
server address, quick settings pertaining to key LTE parameters, and the carrier setting.   

Figure 3-13: Configuration Flow 

 

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 3-14).  The WAN interface is an external 

communication portal (Internet connection) between the eNB's Network Management System 
(NMS) – in most cases, the CloudCore OMC – and the Mobility Management Entity (MME). If not 
using CloudCore, the eNB's NMS may be a Local OMC or the LTE NMS. The 

WAN/LAN/VLAN

 fields 

are described in Table 3-1.
