What device do I need to have LTE and 2-way voice on my Vista 20P?

Hello all,   I have a Vista 20P with the AVS board and GSM device for 2-way voice cellular monitoring.  My provider changed billing systems, and I accidentally got my account deactivated.  They no longer activate GSM devices, so I bought an LTE-XV.  On my GSM device, there was a 4-wire cable...
