QUICK START
BASIC SETUP
1. Insert an activated SIM
A wireless broadband data plan must be added to your Cradlepoint IBR1100. 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. Insert the SIM card into the slot marked
SIM 1 (use the other slot, SIM 2, for a secondary/backup SIM).
To insert or remove SIM card:
1. Remove bottom SIM cover.
2. Slide metal latch down to unlock.
3. Pull cartridge upward, so it is standing at a 90° angle.
4. Insert SIM card with metal contacts down and notch out.
5. Press cartridge back into place.
6. Return metal latch to start (lock) position.
7. Replace bottom SIM cover.
Note: Device will not power on without cover in place.
2. Attach the WiFi and modem antennas
Attach the three WiFi antennas (included) and two modem antennas to the connectors. Antennas are jointed,
which enables you to position them for optimal signal. To attach, hold the antenna straight and twist the base
of the antenna to connect, folding the joint if needed. NOTE: Ensure that the router antennas are not near metal
or other RF reflective surfaces.
3. Connect to power source
Wire power cable to 9-36v power source. (AC power supply sold separately.)

ACCESSING THE ADMINISTRATION PAGES
Once you are connected, open the Cradlepoint IBR1100’s GUI-based administration pages to make conguration
changes to your router.
1. Open a browser window and type “cp/” or “192.168.0.1” in the address bar. Press ENTER/RETURN.
2. When prompted for your password, type the eight character DEFAULT PASSWORD found on the product
label.
NOTE: The product label below is an example only: your DEFAULT PASSWORD and SSID will be unique.
It’s possible – and more ecient – to do all your conguration changes through Cradlepoint Enterprise Cloud
Manager (ECM) without logging into the local administration pages. Set up a group of routers and set the
conguration for all of them at once. See below for more information about ECM.
FIRST TIME SETUP WIZARD
When you log in for the rst time, you will be automatically directed to the FIRST TIME SETUP WIZARD, which
will walk you through the steps to customize your Cradlepoint AER3100. You have the ability to congure any of
the following:
• Administrator Password
• Time Zone
• WiFi Network Name
• Security Mode
• Access Point Name (APN) for SIM-based modems
• Modem Authentication
• Failure Check
If you are currently using the router’s WiFi network, you will need to reconnect your devices to the network
using the newly established wireless network name and password.
NOTE: To return to the First Time Setup Wizard after your initial login, select SYSTEM from the navigation bar,
expand Setup Wizard,and select First Time Setup.
