Equipment Configuration

The following sections show step-by-step screenshots of configuring gateways, eNodeBs, subscribers, networks, policies and APN.

Gateway configuration

The same gateway configuration dialog is used for 'add' as well as 'edit'. The dialog has 4 main tabs:

  • Gateway Information - to configure gateway specific details including name, id, hardware UUID, description, current version and challenge key. The challenge key is a base64 bytestring of the key in DER format.

  • Aggregation - to enable or disable event aggregation or log aggregation service on the gateway. Data generated from event and log aggregation is used to display the tables and graphs for the event and log sections of the Gateway dashboard.

  • EPC - To configure EPC level parameters including Nat, IP and DNS configuration of the gateway.

  • RAN - To configure RAN level parameters including PCI value and eNodeBs registered with the gateway and to select if transmit should be enabled across the eNodeBs.
