ACTIVATE 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. 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).
For more information on activation see cradlepoint.com/activation.
UPDATING FIRMWARE
Cradlepoint regularly creates new firmware packages. You may need to
update firmware to use the IBR600C Series with new modems and to
access our latest features.
Via Enterprise Cloud Manager
1. Log in at cradlepointecm.com using your Enterprise Cloud Manager
credentials.
2. Navigate to the ‘Groups’ page.
3. Select a group and click on the Firmware option in the top toolbar. In the
dropdown menu that opens, select the desired firmware version. Wait

1. Log into the administration pages. You may have changed the Administrator
Password when you used the First Time Setup Wizard.

version that is installed and indicates if updated firmware is available.

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.
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 Knowledge Base article:
