iQ LTE Satellite Router

Preparing the PC for Connection to the iQ LTE Satellite Router

4.6   Preparing the PC for Connection to the iQ LTE 

Satellite Router

For more information on LEDs, see 

Section 3.1, 

iQ LTE Satellite Router Front LEDs

 on page 11

.

Confirm the PC:

Has a Web browser installed

Has an IP address that is on the same subnet of the iQ LTE Satellite Router

Includes a Network Interface Card (NIC) connected with a CAT 5 Ethernet cable

4.7   Configuring the iQ LTE Satellite Router

When the iQ LTE Satellite Router is physically installed, the downloading the firmware and 
configuration of the satellite router need to be completed. For information on installing 
software packages, see the 

Terminal WUI User Guide

. To download the guide, go to 

https:\\support.idirect.net

 and click

4.8   Connecting a Cradlepoint LTE Device to the 

Network 

Cradlepoint devices are centrally configured and managed by a cloud-based system called 
NetCloud Manager. Once devices are sold, they will be created in a customer account on the 
NetCloud Manager. Key users will be given accounts that will enable them to configure and 
manage devices on NetCloud Manager.

Once you have access to NetCloud Manager, you can start configuring your devices based on 
your use case. 

When devices are activated and can communicate with NetCloud (via the SIM or a WiFi 
network or even satellite connection), they will load the configuration from the NetCloud.

You can also configure single devices locally by accessing the NCOS user interface. Changes 
made using the NCOS user interface will be synced with the NetCloud Manager and vice versa. 
It is highly recommended that you become familiar with the NetCloud system prior to 
deployment. 

There are multiple resources available online from the Cradlepoint knowledge base. See 

Appendix F, 

Cradlepoint IBR900 and NetCloud Manager References

 for more information.

4.8.1

Connecting a Cradlepoint LTE Device to a Local Network

Connecting the Cradlepoint LTE Device to a local network does not require the SIM card 
installation. Perform all steps describe in this section to connect the internal Cradlepoint LTE 
Device to the local network via the Traffic Ethernet Port.

Step 1. Connecting to the Cradlepoint IBR locally via NCOS

1.

Connect your PC to the iQ LTE traffic Eth port and open an Internet browser.

2.

Enter the IP address of the Cradlepoint module.
