"Bridge Mode" is not actual layer 2 mode. It tunnels DHCP traffic and perhaps other traffic between the CPE and the Base stating data interface so that you can use Powercode or something similar to hand out addresses. I set it up, and it works for DHCP just fine. The device you plug into the CPE still gets an EPC ip address (the EPC is the cloud management server or it can also run on your own server, it is required and tunnels to the base station).
They are making lots of progress, and if they follow through with new LTE revisions, this may very well may be the next new thing. Right now, its a work in progress, but works to sell internet for residential customers and we are happy with it for our needs. We power them with a Netonix, off of a POE port. Works great. Just set the port to 48VH (only the first port on a WS-8-150, or only the first 4 ports on a WS-12-250 up to Revision F, and only the first 2 ports on WS-12-250 after revision F) and connect orange and blue pairs to POSITIVE and green and brown pairs to NEGATIVE. You eat up one port on your Netonix if you have a small one, since you still have to connect the data cable of course (data port is labeled "WAN" port on the outside). Hope that helps someone experimenting. There are quite a few tweaks we had to do to make them work. Plan on 2 to 4 days of messing with it. Support is responsive.
