ACTIVATE YOUR MODEM
A Cradlepoint router requires a data subscription
to a wireless broadband data plan to connect
to a wireless network. Wireless broadband data
plans are available from wireless carriers such as
AT&T, Verizon and T-Mobile. Carriers offer several
different types of data plans and Cradlepoint
works with most (Mobile broadband, M2M, and
router pricing plans; private and public APNS; and
static or dynamic IP address). To add or transfer a
line of service you will need to provide a unique
identifier such as IMEI/MEID from the Cradlepoint
modem. Data plans require a SIM that is supplied
and provisioned by the wireless carrier and
inserted into the Cradlepoint router or modem.

UPDATING FIRMWARE
Cradlepoint regularly creates new firmware
packages. You may need to update firmware to
use the IBR600B with new modems and to access
our latest features.
1.
Log into the administration pages. You may
have changed the Administrator Password
when you used the First Time Setup Wizard.
2.
Select ‘System > System Control’ on the left
navigation bar, then ‘System Software’ in the
dropdown menu.
3.
Find the ‘Firmware Upgrade’ section. This
displays the current firmware version that is
installed and indicates if updated firmware is
available.
4.
Click ‘Automatic (Internet)’ if new firmware
is available. The IBR600B will download and
install the firmware and automatically reboot
itself. A status monitor will appear and
indicate when this process is complete. This
process may take several minutes depending
on your Internet connection speed.
If your device does not have an active Internet
connection, you need to download the latest
firmware from
cradlepoint.com/firmware
to your
desktop. Then use the ‘Manual Firmware Upload’
option.
ROUTER COMMUNICATION /
DATA USAGE
The factory default configuration of the router
is set to communicate with Cradlepoint and
other resources at regular intervals to access
the latest firmware and modem updates, clock
synchronization (NTP), and Enterprise Cloud
Manager (ECM) membership. Such communication
may result in data usage and applicable charges
regardless of whether the router uses a wired or
wireless Internet connection. To avoid such data
usage and potential charges, consult the following
