Hi there,

I'm struggling to fnd a compatible 4G access point to setup in bridge fail-over mode with my XGS1930-28HP switch.

I have found the LTE7460-M608 which seems to be ok but hard to provision in retailers..

Any advice of product to substitute ? is the Lte7480-m804 a potential fit ?

Regards,

Alain

    Hi @Alaindelafosse

    Could you please provide more details about the setup you're aiming for? Specifically, are you looking to use the 4G device for backup internet connectivity in the event of primary link failure?

    Typically, the LTE devices you mentioned (LTE7460-M608 and LTE7480-M804) would need to be connected to a router or firewall, which then connects to a switch or access point for the internal network.

    For reference, here is an application diagram that might help clarify the setup:

    Looking forward to your response!

    Hello Kay,

    My current setup is as following

    Internet Fiber box provider ——SFP+—-—|Switch|——Ethernet——|PC|x10

    I'd like to set up a fail-over solution with 4G connectivity LTE device.

    My understanding is that I can connect the LTE device to my switch in bridge mode.

    LTE Device ———|Switch| ————Ethernet ———|PC|x10

    Following your response, I understand I need to setup a router for the IP traffic between the LTE device and my switch ?

    LTE Device ———|Router or FW| ————|Switch| ————Ethernet ———|PC|x10

    The LTE device doesn't provide this functionality ?

    Regards, Alain
