nano3g 237A <apologies if this is a repost>

Not sure if this is a repost, i just joined the list and i don't think i had confirmed my account when i sent it (the confirmation was in my spam). Anyways, not trying to be a bad list member. I just picked up this IPAccess model which supports band 2/5 and has the same housing as the other units on the accelerate3g5 project docs. I've been pouring over docs and trying a lot of network configurations in my home lab. I have the login information for the factory reset and can access the web gui on port 8089 during the reset process, but ssh and telnet DMI seem to be disabled. I've been fuzzing ports and i've tried static as well as DHCP for IP addresses. My thought was that if i point the nano3G to the IP of my osmo-hNodeB machine that it would at least stimulate the device and maybe i'd see some log messages in the HNodeB gateway, but so far i haven't seen anything in the logs. i've also tried abisip-find and that doesn't find anything. Wireshark shows basic 'who has' Layer 2 messages and also DHCP requests sent to 0.0.0.0, both from the nano3g. The nano3g does get an ip from my lab router and i can ping it. The LAN behind that router can also access the 0.ipaccess ntp server, but again no telnet DMI or ssh so i'm unsure where to go from here. Layer 1 seems to show nothing on the uarfcn in the web gui, so it seems that its not crossing all the right bridges. I will admit, i haven't run any other osmo network components for the network, but as far as i was reading the home nodeb gateway and ntp should be the only things necessary to at least start the process. Any insight on what to try next would be very helpful. Does anyone have experience with this model? thanks
