Connecting 4G HOTSPOT to MX84 using USB port / to test fail over

[afzal1]

Hello, 

I'm currently testing an additional cellular modem to MX84 / as a backup for Network failover. ( WAN 1 and WAN 2 fail). 

Is there documentation for that ?? I'm currently reviewing - 
 https://documentation.meraki.com/MX/Cellular/3G%2F%2F4G_Cellular_Failover_with_USB_Modems

I would like to confirm if the purchased model is acceptable for MX84  -I currently purchased
Nighthawk LTE mobile hotspot  / Model - MR1100.   upon connecting the modem directly to MX84 I don't see any indication of the connected modem.  how do I proceed further in knowing if my modem is compatible ?  also do I need to manually enable the USB port in MX84 in the dashboard? 

Any advice on this is highly appreciated

Thanks.

Did you scroll down and check there are USB modems which are compatible with MX devices , Check on the basis of your region and country on below link

If it doesn't show up when connected - it probably isn't compatible.

Most Huawei devices seem to work.
