The NetGear LM1200 is more or less a plug and play device and requires little setup.
- For US Cellular's failover plans we need to change the default APN settings of the device to:
- uscc00000.enterprise0.usc-cdp
To do so:
- Insert the US Cellular micro-sim card and power on the device.
- Plug a computer's ethernet connection directly into the LAN port of the LM1200.
- The Netgear LM1200 will have a randomly assigned IP address -- to determine what this is you can run "IPCONFIG" in a command prompt. The Default Gateway address will be the IP Address we need.
- Example output (this information may change whenever the device is rebooted):
Ethernet adapter Ethernet:
Connection-specific DNS Suffix . : routerlogin.net
Link-local IPv6 Address . . . . . : fe80::fa24:2e0d:7ce7:32d8%17
IPv4 Address. . . . . . . . . . . : 10.202.120.147
Subnet Mask . . . . . . . . . . . : 255.255.255.0
Default Gateway . . . . . . . . . : 10.202.120.1
- Example output (this information may change whenever the device is rebooted):
- Navigate to that Gateway IP Address in your web browser and login using the password printed on the device's label.
- Navigate to Settings -> Mobile -> APN
- Press Add
- Enter name: USCC and APN: uscc00000.enterprise0.usc-cdp and press Save.
- Select the newly created APN from the list and the device will reboot automatically.
- Device is configured. The LAN port on the LM1200 can now be connected to the INTERNET 2 port on your Meraki MX68 Firewall.
If you are in an area that requires roaming support, enable "Always" the Auto-Connect option:
