ACTIVATE YOUR MODEM
A Cradlepoint router requires a data subscription to a
wireless broadband data plan to connect to a wireless
network. Wireless broadband data plans are available
from wireless carriers such as AT&T, Verizon, Sprint,
T-Mobile, EE and Vodafone. Carriers oer several
dierent 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). To add or transfer a line of service you will
need to provide a unique identifier such as IMEI/MEID
from the Cradlepoint modem. Data plans require a SIM
that is supplied and provisioned by the wireless carrier
and inserted into the Cradlepoint router or modem.
For more information on activation see
cradlepoint.com/activation.

ACTIVE GPS: -PWD MODELS

connection at 3.3V and 100mA max.

active GPS antenna separately. The -PWD models
include only one WiFi antenna for operation in 1x1
WiFi mode.
UPDATING FIRMWARE
Cradlepoint regularly creates new firmware packages.
You may need to update firmware to use the IBR600
with new modems and to access our latest features.
1. Log into the administration pages. You may have
changed the Administrator Password when you
used the First Time Setup Wizard.
2. Select ‘System > System Control’ on the left
navigation bar, then ‘System Software’ in the
dropdown menu.
3. Find the ‘Firmware Upgrade’ section. This displays
the current firmware version that is installed and
indicates if updated firmware is available.
4. Click ‘Automatic (Internet)’ if new firmware is
available. The IBR600 will 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.
If your device does not have an active Internet
connection, you need to download the latest firmware
from cradlepoint.com/firmware to your desktop. Then
use the ‘Manual Firmware Upload’ option.
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:
