1 Introduction

The Bandrich K530S 4G LTE broadband router with service over the
Sprint NW is an inexpensive solution for business continuity to provide a
backup connection to the internet/VPN in case of failure of the primary
connection.

This document provides a high level overview on how to configure the
K530S and the customers edge router to achieve this redundant
connection to internet/VPN.

2 Overview

The K530S is assigned a dynamic routable I P address by the Sprint NW.
In order to use the K530S as a backup connection to a secondary ISP, it
is desirable to configure it in bridge mode. This way the K530S can be
connected to the customer’s edge router in which case the edge router
gets the IP address that is assigned to the K530S.

The edge router can then be configured to use this interface as a default
static route to the secondary ISP (Sprint).

Static route tracking allows customer to use an inexpensive connection to
a secondary Internet service provider (ISP) in the event that the primary
leased line becomes unavailable.

The customer edge router can be configured with a static route tracking
feature to track the availability of the static route to the primary ISP.

In case of a failure in the static route to the primary ISP, the static route
tracking feature will remove it from the routing table and replace it with a
backup route.

Please refer to your specific router admin guide on how to configure static
route tracking.

This document provides details on how to configure the K530S in bridge
mode as well a s h o w t o co nf i g ur e t h e e dg e r o ut er wit h a st at i c r o ut e t o the
K530S.

Note: The conf iguration i s for redundancy or bac kup purposes only and
not for load sharing across the two interfaces. Outgoing traffic uses the
primary ISP and then the secondary ISP, if the primary fails. Failure of the
primary ISP causes a temporary disruption of traffic.

3 Components

The following components are required for this redundant connection for
business continuity:

• Edge router with at least one available outside L3 Ethernet
interface to connect to K530S router and for configuring the
redundant route to the internet

• K530S LTE router activated on Sprint 4G LTE network with a
dynamic routable IP

• Connection from ERDM (Ericsson Remote Device Manager)
to the K530S over the Sprint NW via the assigned dynamic IP

4 Instructions

4.1 K530S in Bridge mode via local connection

Connect to the K530S over the laptop Ethernet interface and launch the
browser to

http://192.168.1.1

Login to the K530S administration GUI using the provided credentials.

Navigate to ‘Advanced’ tab and then to the ‘Operation’ tab.
Set the operation mode to ‘Bridge’ and click on ‘Apply’.

The K530 will reboot and come up in bridge mode.

4.2 K530S in bridge mode via ERDM

Connect to ERDM using

https://erdm.ericyhost.com/erdm

Login with your ERDM tenant credentials.
Connect to the K530S from the ERDM. Go to advanced view, then select

‘retrieve all device settings’ from drop down.
Once that completes, select ‘settings for entire parameter l ist’ from dr op

down. Then scroll down to parameters grouped under X_0026FA_RF.
Under that, there is a parameter called ‘OperationMode’.
Change the parameter value (router or bridge) by putting a new value in

the ‘override’ column. Then highlight that parameter row, and select ‘send
marked setting’ from drop down.

This will update the device with new parameter value.
