Activating Your Modem
A Cradlepoint router requires a SIM with an active data subscription to a
wireless broadband data plan to connect to a wireless network. SIMs with
wireless broadband data plans are available from wireless carriers such as
AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile, EE, and Vodafone. 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 addresses).
For more information on activation see cradlepoint.com/activation.
GPS
The IBR1700 comes with an active GPS connection at 3.3 V and 100 mA max
and supports TAIP and NMEA protocols. For full functionality you will need to
use an active GPS antenna.
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
NetCloud OS and modem updates, clock synchronization (NTP), and NetCloud
Manager 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 Knowledge Base article:
