SXT LTE kit and router Zyxel NBG-416N

RouterOS Beginner Basics
1

Hi Friends,
I’ve just bought an SXT LTE kit (product code RBSXTR&R11e-LTE).
I will install the SXT LTE on the roof, and connect it to my Zyxel NBG-416N router via ethernet.
Now this router have a WAN port and it support Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE).

I would like to use the Zyxel DHCP, and using LTE only as DSL as broadband modem.
So my (elementary) questions are:

  1. How can I use LTE as simple modem? How should I set the parameters on point 3 of my screenshot? And should I disable firewall router (point 2 of my below screenshot)?
  2. Should I set a PPPoE account access for LTE? Eventually could you suggest a specific documentation?
  3. On point 1 of my below screenshot, Which bands should I activate? Consider that I now use iliad.it as manager mobile networks.
  4. And last question: from the LTE to the PowerOverEthernet injector there are 12/15 meters, are too many? These are the POE specific:
    MODEL: SAW30-240-0800G A
    INPUT: 100-240V~
    50/60Hz 0.8A
    OUTPUT:24V 800mA

Many many thanks!

Search for SXT passthrough

Hi Friends,
on the Passthrough Example (https://wiki.mikrotik.com/wiki/Manual:Interface/LTE#Passthrough_Example) it says:

If there are multiple hosts on the network it is possible to lock the Passthrough to a specific MAC. On the host on the network where the Passthrough is providing the IP a DHCP-Client should be enabled on that interface to.

So using a router that assigns ip via dhcp should I associate it with its mac address?
Furthermore, the command calls the apn, so using me “iliad” apn should I change the command like this?

[admin@MikroTik] > /interface lte apn add apn=iliad passthrough-interface=ether1 passthrough-mac=00:0C:42:03:06:AB
[admin@MikroTik] > /interface lte set lte1 apn-profiles=iliad

Then I read that

it will not be possible to connect to the LTE router via public lte ip address or from the host which is used by the passthrough. It is suggested to create additional connection from the LTE router to the host for configuration purposes. For example vlan interface between the LTE router and host.

in my case (router Zyxel) before activating the Passthrough, should I change any other configurations to be able to access the SXT again?

Many thanks again and excuse me for my beginner questions :slight_smile:
