INTRODUCTION
The Cradlepoint COR IBR 600C Series is a compact, semi-
ruggedized 3G/4G networking solution designed for mission-
critical connectivity.
For in-vehicle networks including police cars, ambulances, and
mass transit, this cloud-managed solution provides organizations
the ability to scale deployments quickly and manage their vehicle
networks easily in real-time.
With safety and hardening certications, the COR IBR600C Series
is engineered to protect against extreme temperatures, humidity,
shocks, vibrations, reverse polarity, and transient voltage.
You can also add dual-modem capability to your IBR600C/650C
with the optional Dual-Modem Dock. For more information, visit
cradlepoint.com.
POWER & GPIO
Available as an accessory for the Cradlepoint COR IBR600C/650C is a two meter, 22 AWG direct wire power and
GPIO cable (includes ESD-protected general input and output pins):
This diagram shows the connector pinout. This is the view into the router (or the rear view of the cable
connector):

have dierent colors.
If you need a power/GPIO cable that is longer than two meters, we recommend the following wire gauges (AWG):
• 22 gauge wire for up to 4 meters (~13 ft)
• 20 gauge wire for up to 6 meters (~20 ft)
• 18 gauge wire for up to 12 meters (~40 ft)
For additional power source options, see the adapters and cables accessories page.
INSTALLATION
The red wire (power) should connect to the positive (red) terminal of the battery, and the black wire (ground)
should connect to the chassis. To enable ignition sensing functionality, connect the orange wire (input) to the
ignition, or accessory, switch. The power and ignition wires can be attached directly or through the fuse panel.
The red power wire requires an inline fuse at 2.0 or 2.5 A. Either use an extra slot in the fuse
panel for this fuse, or splice an inline fuse directly into the wiring. Here is an example of how
to attach an inline fuse: http://youtu.be/RDOZT-dTITo.
Wire connections vary depending on the installation. Make sure your connectors are rated for
the gauge of your wires (e.g., the included power/GPIO cable is 22 AWG). See the sample crimp
connectors at right, and see this video example for how to attach a quick splice connector:

IGNITION SENSING
Ignition sensing allows you to set the router to power on when the ignition key is turned to ACC/ON, and then
power o after the ignition key is turned o with a designated time delay. For example, set your router to
remain on for an hour after the vehicle is turned o and then shut o. When the vehicle is turned on again, the
router will also turn back on.
Edit these settings on the GPIO Connector administration page. Go to the conguration pages for your device or
group in Enterprise Cloud Manager or log into the local device administration pages and go to SYSTEM > GPIO
Conguration. Refer to your product’s User Manual for GPIO conguration instructions.
