     '''Note''' The N in Lan Rom refers to the Interface Number. If making a Gnu radio Node the device names will be shifted due to the additional NIC card. Thus the left most NIC will be eth1 which corresponds to Lan 1. If making a regular node then Lan 2 will be eth1 and only that rom should be enabled.
  1. Save these settings and exit. Once saved the node will power off and then back on again to "apply" the settings changes. You can unplug the node after the initial power off or let it reboot and then poweroff. You should be seeing output on the serial console now.
