If the 

IP Access Mode

 field is set to 

DHCP

 and the LGW function is 

ON 

(

section 3.5.3.2

), 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. 

NOTE: If the LAN IP address is changed, the eNB will reboot, and you will have to log in to 
the GUI again.
