Change Network Name Through YateUCN

Connect to the MiniCore’s MMI (Local Management Interface) by using a browser and the URL:

The web login credentials are: username – yatebts; password – ‘same-as-serial’.

In the Equipment context, Core tab, choose YateUCN and click on Edit:

The LabKit’s eNodeB broadcasts PLMN identity and the MiniCore’s MME should know about this identity in order to establish a connection between the equipment. From the MME/SGSN tab, verify if the eNodeB’s PLMN is appended to the PLMNs parameter of the MME Identity:

[PLMN identity is the concatenation of the MCC (Mobile Country Code) and the MNC (Mobile Network Code)]
