2.1 Ports, LEDs, and Switches
Power 12VDC: The power connector includes two pins for power and two pins for GPIO
(General Purpose Input/Output) functionality. The included power adapter, however, only
connects to the power pins. You will need a separate adapter for GPIO functionality.
Reset: You can return your router to factory default settings by pressing and holding the
Reset button. This button is recessed, so it requires a pointed object such as a paper clip
to press. Press and hold for 10 seconds to initiate reset.

CRADLEPOINT COR | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 5.0.0

Ethernet Ports: By default, the IBR600/IBR650 has one WAN (Wide Area Network—your Internet source) port and one
LAN (Local Area Network) port. Each of these ports can be reconfigured, however, if you need two LAN or two WAN
Ethernet ports.
Ethernet LED:
•Solid Green – connected
•Blinking Green – data transfer activity
USB Port (Standard-A): This port can be used for an external USB modem or to attach a direct firmware upgrade to
enable manual firmware upgrades if necessary. (Hardware version 1.3 changed from a micro USB port to a full-size
Standard-A USB port.)
WiFi Antennas (IBR600 only): The IBR600 comes with two 2.4 GHz WiFi antennas (Reverse SMA). These antennas are
simple to attach and adjust for maximum WiFi broadcast.
The antenna position shown is not allowed: neither WiFi nor modem antennas
should lie on top of each other.

3 QUICK START
3.1 Basic Setup
1. Attach the WiFi (right) and
modem antennas.
2. Plug the power supply into
an electrical outlet and
connect it to the router.
3. Make sure the power is
switched on.
O = OFF
I = ON
3.1.1 Activate Your Modem
A wireless broadband data plan must be added to your IBR600/IBR650. Wireless broadband data plans are available
from wireless carriers such as AT&T, Sprint, Verizon, and Vodafone. A new line of service can be added or a data plan
can be transferred from an existing account. You will need the ESN/IMEI (or similar number) from your product label on
your router to add or transfer a line of service.
After adding a data plan to the modem, the modem may need to be activated. To activate the modem:
1. Log in to the router’s administration pages (see Accessing the Administration Pages).
2. Select Internet from the top navigation bar and Modem Settings from the dropdown menu (Internet →Modem
Settings).
3. Find and select the CradlePoint modem.
4. Click Update/Activate. Click Activate in the popup.

3.2 Connect to a Computer or other Device
For the IBR650, simply connect your device(s) to the
router via Ethernet.
3.2.1 Wireless Network Connection (IBR600)
1) Find the network. On a WiFi-enabled computer or
device, open the window or dropdown menu that
allows you to access wireless networks. The IBR600
network will appear on the list: select this network.
2) Log in. You will need to input the Default
Password when prompted. The Default Password is provided on the product label found on the bottom of your router
(this password is the last eight digits of the router’s MAC address, which can be found on the product box or on the
product label).
NOTE: If more than one IBR600 wireless router is visible, you can find the correct unit by
checking for its SSID (service set identifier; the unique name of the local network). The
default SSID of the primary network has the form IBR600-xxx, where “xxx” is the last 3
digits of the router’s MAC address.
