QUICK START
BASIC SETUP
1. Insert an activated SIM
Your router requires an Internet source. Attach a Cradlepoint business-grade modem, insert one or more
supported USB or ExpressCard modem(s), connect a cable or DSL modem to the blue Ethernet WAN port, or
connect to an available WiFi source. For failover/failback functionality, you will need at least two of these
sources (for example: one Ethernet source and one USB modem). Once you have an activated SIM, insert it into
the integrated modem
2. Attach included WiFi antennas
Attach the three included WiFi antennas to the connectors for maximum WiFi broadcast. To attach, hold the
antenna straight and twist the base of the antenna to connect, folding the joint if needed. Please note that 2.4
GHz antennas are provided. 5 GHz antennas are available as an accessory.
3. Attach included modem antennas.
Antennas are nger-tighten only. Attach to connectors marked MAIN and AUX.
4. Connect to a power source.
Connect the 12v DC power adapter to the router and a power source. Flip the power switch to the ON position; this
illuminates the green power status LED.
5. Connect to a computer or other network equipment.
Connect via Ethernet to LAN 1 for local management. Connect LAN 2 (Default IP Passthrough 0/24) to networking
equipment to Passthrough 3G/4G Internet to Ethernet.

CONNECTION MANAGER
The router can establish an uplink via Ethernet, WiFi as WAN, or 3G/4G modems (removable or external USB). If the
primary WAN connection fails, the router will automatically attempt to bring up a new link on another device: this
feature is called failover. If Load Balance is enabled, multiple WAN devices may establish a link concurrently.
This is a list of the available interfaces used to access the Internet. You can enable, stop, or start devices from this
section. Drag the priority icon ( ) up or down to set the interface the router uses by default and the order that it
allows failover.
In the example shown, Ethernet is set as the primary Internet source, an LTE-only modem is set as secondary, while
an MC400LPE-VZ modem is attached for failover and is “connected.” A WiFi-as-WAN interface is also attached and
“Available.”

LOAD BALANCE
To enable Load Balancing, select the check box for each desired
device. If this is enabled, the router will use multiple WAN
interfaces to increase the data transfer throughput by using any
connected WAN interface consecutively. Selecting Load Balance
will automatically start the WAN interface and add it to the pool
of WAN interfaces to use for data transfer. Turning o Load
Balance for an active WAN interface may require the user to
restart any current browsing session.
From WAN Management, select the Load Balance Algorithm from
the following dropdown options:

User Manual /MBR1400
• Round-Robin: Evenly distribute each session to the available WAN connections.
• Rate: Distribute load based on the current upload and download rates. A WAN device’s upload and download
bandwidth values can be set in Internet > Connection Manager.
• Spillover: This was the default algorithm in older (version 3) rmware. Load is always given to devices with the
most available bandwidth. The estimated bandwidth rate is based on a combination of the upload and download
conguration values and the observed capabilities of the device.
• Data Usage: This mode works in concert with the Data Usage feature (Internet > Data Usage).
The router will make a best eort to keep data usage between interfaces at a similar percentage of the assigned data
cap in the data usage rule for each interface, rather than distributing sessions based solely on bandwidth. For proper
functioning you need to create data usage rules for each WAN device you will be load balancing. Make certain to select
the “Use with Load Balancing” checkbox in the data usage rule editor.
ON DEMAND
Typically, modem connections are not always on.
When the On Demand mode is selected a connection
to the Internet is made as needed. When On
Demand is not selected a connection to the Internet
is always maintained.
WAN VERIFY
If this is enabled, the router will check that the
highest priority active WAN interface can get to the
Internet even if the WAN connection is not actively
being used. If the interface goes down, the router
will switch to the next highest priority interface
available. If this is not selected, the router will still
failover to the next highest priority interface but
only after the user has attempted to get out to the
Internet and failed.
Idle Check Interval: The amount of time between
each check. (Default: 30 seconds. Range: 10-3600
seconds.)
Monitor while connected: (Default: O) Select from the following dropdown options:
• Passive DNS (modem only): The router will take no action until data is detected that is destined for the WAN.
When this data is detected, the data will be sent and the router will check for received data for two seconds. If no
data is received the router behaves as described below under Active DNS.
• Active DNS (modem only): A DNS request will be sent to the DNS servers. If no data is received, the DNS request
will be retried four times at ve-second intervals. (The rst two requests will be directed at the Primary DNS
server and the second two requests will be directed at the Secondary DNS server.) If still no data is received, the

FAILBACK
This is used to congure failback, which is the ability to go back to a higher priority WAN interface if it regains
connection to its network.
Select the Failback Mode from the following
options:
• Usage
• Time
• Disabled
Usage Threshold: Fail back based on the amount
of data passed over time. This is a good setting
for when you have a dual-mode EVDO/WiMAX
modem and you are going in and out of WiMAX
coverage. If the router has failed over to EVDO it
will wait until you have low data usage before bringing down the EVDO connection to check if a WiMAX connection can
be made.
• High (Rate: 80 KB/s. Time Period: 30 seconds.)
• Normal (Rate: 20 KB/s. Time Period: 90 seconds.)
• Low (Rate: 10 KB/s. Time Period: 240 seconds.)
• Custom (Rate range: 1-100 KB/s. Time Period range: 10-300 seconds.)
Time: Fail back only after a set period of time. (Default: 90 seconds. Range: 10-300 seconds.) This is a good setting if
you have a primary wired WAN connection and only use a modem for failover when your wired connection goes down.
This ensures that the higher priority interface has remained online for a set period of time before it becomes active
(in case the connection is dropping in and out, for example).
Disabled: Deactivate failback mode.
Immediate Mode: Fail back immediately whenever a higher priority interface is plugged in or when there is a priority
change. Immediate failback returns you to the use of your preferred Internet source more quickly which may have
advantages such as reducing the cost of a failover data plan, but it may cause more interruptions in your network
than Usage or Time modes.
device will be disconnected and failover will occur.
• Active Ping: A ping request will be sent to the Ping Target. If no data is received, the ping request will be retried
four times at ve-second intervals. If still no data is received, the device will be disconnected and failover will
occur. When “Active Ping” is selected, the next line gives an estimate of data usage in this form: “Active Ping
could use as much as 9.3 MB of data per month.” This amount depends on the Idle Check Interval.
• O: Once the link is established the router takes no action to verify that it is still up.
DATA USAGE
Data Usage displays upload and download trac for each LAN client. Check Monitor Monthly (or Weekly or Daily)
Usage to begin tracking this information. This data is not retained between router reboots.
For Monthly and Weekly you are able to specify the day to start each cycle (e.g. the 1st or Tuesday, respectively).
Usage Cap: Enter a Cap amount in Megabytes. 1024 Megabyte is equal to 1 Gigabyte.

User Manual /MBR1400
Use with Load Balancing: When checked, the Load
Balancing feature is allowed to use the thresholds and
metrics of this rule when making balance decisions. This
causes Load Balancing to spread the data usage between
interfaces according to the assigned usage rather than
bandwidth. This is a best eort to keep all interfaces with
these rules at a similar percentage utilization of data (e.g.
10%, 50%, 90%) as the cycle progresses, rather than quickly
using 100% of a fast 1GB capped interface while using only
a fraction of a slow 10GB capped interface, thus leaving
the rest of the cycle with only the slow interface. The Data
Usage algorithm on the WAN Anity/Load Balancing page
must be selected or this checkbox has no eect.
Shutdown on Cap: When checked, the WAN device will
shutdown when the assigned usage is reached. A cycle
reset or a rule deletion will re-enable the device.
Alert on Cap: An email alert will be generated and sent
when the assigned data cap is reached. NOTE: The SMTP
mail server must be congured in System > Device Alerts.
Custom Alerts: Check to enable custom alerts at specied percentage of
usage cap.
Custom Alert Percentages: Example: “50,80,90,110” (values can exceed
100%) (Triggers alerts when 50, 80, 90, 110% of usage cap is used)
