Marquee is a networked solution and requires active internet access. If a network is not available
for the Marquee player, Cradlepoint’s CBA250 can be used to provide cellular over-the-air
wireless networking.
This device supports all major data carriers (e.g., AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon) as well as
USB or PCMCIA-express devices (e.g., the Franklin U301 USB modem via Sprint). For a complete
list of data carriers and express devices, please visit the Cradlepoint website at
http://cradlepoint.com/products/cba250-cellular-broadband-adapter and select the Supported
Devices tab.
The CBA250 may be purchased directly from Cradlepoint’s
website, or via other internet sources. The CBA250 requires an
agreement with one of the supported mobile data carriers.
Agreements are the responsibility of the dealer or end user. We
recommend agreements with a 5 GB monthly limit which should be
enough bandwidth to support the Marquee solution and should
prevent overage charges on the data plans. The average monthly
cost for most carriers is approximately $60.00 for a one or two
year agreement.
Installation of the CBA250 is simple:
Using a laptop, confirm that the wireless data carrier USB or PCMCIA-express device is authorized
and functioning.
1.
Plug the CBA250 into the wall using the included power cable.
2.
Connect the player to the CBA250 using an Ethernet patch cable.
3.
Plug the USB or PCMCIA-express device into the CBA250.
4.
Wait approximately 15 seconds for the CBA250 to access the network. It will display a
network signal.
5.
Apply power to the media player and proceed as normal.
If the CBA250 is unavailable, other Cradlepoint devices should function in the same manner.
When selecting
one, be certain that it provides IP Pass-Thru (or bridging) capability and, again,
verify the supported devices.
