The COR IBR1100/IBR1150 administration pages include the following five tabs:

See Navigating the Administration Pages for helpful information about how to use the device's GUI-based management interface.

NOTE: The manual content for the following administration pages sections is generic across multiple devices. Therefore, some details may

not apply to the COR IBR1100 or COR IBR1150 because they are specific to another device. For example, CP Secure Threat

Management is only available for the AER 2100. Also, the configuration pages within Enterprise Cloud Manager (ECM) are very similar to

the local router administration pages, but some items are missing because they are not relevant in the ECM environment. For example, the

entire Status tab is absent in ECM because status information is presented in other ways (Dashboard, Devices list, etc.).

ANTENNA CONNECTORS – There are five total antenna connectors for the IBR1100 and three for the IBR1150:

Two for the integrated 3G/4G modem (SMA)

One for GPS (SMA)

(IBR1100 only) Two for dual-band dual-concurrent WiFi (RSMA)

Be careful to correctly distinguish between SMA and RSMA connections. Antennas WITH pins must attach to connectors WITHOUT pins, while antennas WITHOUT pins must

attach to connectors WITH pins.

Also, the MAIN modem connector may have better performance than the AUX connector, so attach the better (or single) modem antenna to the MAIN connector if that is

relevant in your setup.

ETHERNET PORTS – By default there are two LAN Ethernet ports and one WAN Ethernet port. All three of these ports are LAN/WAN configurable.

POWER/GPIO CONNECTOR – This connector has four pin slots: power, ground, input, and output.

Connector pinout – view into router (rear view of cable connector):

RESET (power and factory reset button)

On – Press and hold for one second to turn on. Multiple LEDs turn on to signal that the router is on. RELEASE THE BUTTON BEFORE FIVE SECONDS TO

PREVENT THE ROUTER FROM TURNING OFF AGAIN.

Off – Press and hold for five seconds to turn off. The USB and modem lights turn red to signal that the router will turn off upon release. RELEASE THE BUTTON

BEFORE TEN SECONDS TO PREVENT FACTORY RESET.

Factory reset – Press and hold for ten seconds to factory reset the device. The USB and modem lights turn amber and blink twice to signal factory reset. This

returns all settings to factory defaults.

NOTE: Using the reset button for turning the device on/off is typically unecessary: the device powers on by default as soon as it receives

power, and it can be configured to sense vehicle ignition with a timed delay for power off.

RS-232 (serial port) – This is a serial DE-9 (commonly called "DB-9"), 9-pin female connector. The pins are numbered from the top right as shown here:

– POWER

Green = Powered ON.

No Light = Not receiving power. Check the power switch and the power source connection.

Flashing Amber = Attention. Open the administration pages (see Accessing the Administration Pages) and check the router status.

– WiFi BROADCAST

These two LEDs indicate activity on the WiFi broadcast for both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands.

2.4G (green) = 2.4 GHz WiFi is on and operating normally.

5G (blue) = 5 GHz WiFi is on and operating normally.

– EXTERNAL USB MODEM

CradlePoint COR IBR1100/IBR1150 – Manual

10/13/2014

Indicates the status of external USB modems.

– INTEGRATED MODEM

Indicates the status of integrated modems.

Both integrated and external USB modems have the following LED indicators:

Green = Modem has established an active connection.

Blinking Green = Modem is connecting.

Amber = Modem is not active.

Blinking Amber = Data connection error. No modem connection possible.

Blinking Red = Modem is in the process of resetting.

– SIGNAL STRENGTH

Blue LED bars indicate the active modem’s signal strength.

4 Solid Bars = Strongest signal.

1 Blinking Bar = Weakest signal. (A blinking bar indicates half of a bar.)

ADDITIONAL LED INDICATIONS

The USB and modem lights turn amber and blink twice to signal factory reset.

Two of the modem LEDs blink red in unison for 10 seconds when there is an error during firmware upgrade.

Using Enterprise Cloud Manager

Basic Setup

1. Insert an activated SIM.

A wireless broadband data plan must be added to your CradlePoint COR IBR1100/IBR1150. Wireless broadband data plans are available from wireless carriers such as

Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, EE, and Vodafone. The SIM must be provisioned with the carrier. Contact your carrier for details about selecting a data plan and about the process for

provisioning your SIM.

Once you have an activated SIM, insert it into the integrated modem:

CradlePoint COR IBR1100/IBR1150 – Manual

10/13/2014

1. Remove the bottom SIM cover (requires a small Phillips screwdriver).

2. Slide the metal latch down to unlock the SIM cartridge. Use the cartridge marked SIM 1 first (use the other cartridge, SIM 2, for a secondary/backup SIM).

3. Pull the cartridge upward, so it is standing at a 90° angle.

4. Insert the SIM card with the metal contacts down and notch out.

5. Press the cartridge back into place.

6. Return the metal latch to the start (lock) position.

7. Replace the bottom SIM cover. NOTE: Device will not power on without cover in place.

2. Attach modem/WiFi/GPS antennas.

Antennas are NOT included in the product package because of the diverse needs of customers. Both the COR IBR1100 and COR IBR1150 have two connectors for 3G/4G

modem antennas (SMA) and one connector for GPS (SMA):

Addtionally, the COR IBR1100 has two connectors for dual-band dual-concurrent 2.4/5 GHz WiFi (RSMA):

Resources

section of antenna and router product pages. Many network designs with the COR IBR1100/IBR1150 require remoted antennas with cables. Several factors affect

antenna selection:

require 3G/4G modem antennas only, or GPS/WiFi as well

direct-attach, screw-mount, or magnetic-mount

size/shape limitations

directional or omnidirectional

performance in specific frequency ranges

This is a simple, standard antenna setup for direct-attach antennas for the COR IBR1100:

We recommend experimenting with different antenna orientations to see what works best in your environment (e.g., spreading one set of antennas out to a 45° angle). Do

NOT allow antennas to lie flat on top of each other.

3. Connect to a power source.

The CradlePoint COR IBR1100/IBR1150 includes a two meter direct wire power and GPIO cable (shown below).

The GPIO cable can be attached to the fuse box in a vehicle. For detailed instructions on vehicle installations, see the COR IBR1100 Vehicle Installation Guide, available

as a PDF in the Resources section of the CradlePoint COR IBR1100 Series product page.

If you want to plug into a wall power outlet, you'll need to purchase a separate wall power adapter: choose between the extended temperature range (−30 °C to 70 °C) and

standard (0 °C to 40 °C) options. Most vehicle installations will use the included direct wire power/GPIO cable, which can be used to enable the ignition sensing feature, but

there is also a car adapter option for plugging into a vehicle cigarette lighter receptacle.

digits of the unit’s MAC address). You may have changed the administrator password during initial setup using the First Time Setup Wizard. If so, log in using your

personalized administrator password.

If you have forgotten your personalized password, you can reset the device to the factory default configuration. When you reset the router, the administrator password will

revert back to the Default Password. Press and hold the reset button on the router unit until the lights flash (approximately 10-15 seconds). You can then log in using

the Default Password.
