MX67W with my LTE Modem

[AbhiNiki]

Hi Meraki Champs,

I have huawei lte cpe b2368-66 modem that I wanted to connect my MX67W to, however I cannot get my MX go green when I connect the RJ45 coming out from my outdoor antenna. It works absolutely fine when I connect the RJ45 to huawei lte cpe b2368-66 modem. I can get the MX get an IP when I connect my MX to the LAN port of the modem, however that doesn't give public IP to the MX, hence it is not reachable from the internet.

I can't find a way to connect my MX anyway, and would appreciate any suggestions that might work. 

Many thanks,

Abhi

A few points of confusion here.

The Merak MX67W doesn't have an internal cellular modem, so it makes sense that an external cellular modem would be required between the antenna and the MX.

The MX67C does have an internal cellular modem, however external antenna are only supported on the RP-SMA connector, not directly over RJ-45. Also, only the Meraki external antenna (MA-ANT-MX) are officially supported.

Thanks Brash. Seems there is no way to connect the 67W then in that case. I have never tried the MX with a cellular modem before, hence the confusion 🙂...

You can plug the MX Internet port into the back of the cellular router with a LAN cable.  The MX does not need a public IP address on its Internet interface for most things to work.
