Slide the MC400 modular modem into the IBR1700, Cradlepoint logo side up, USB plug first. Replace the
modem door and secure with the screws. Remove the plastic port covers from the modem door before
returning the cover to the router.
Note: The MODEM COVER must be replaced, or the modem will not power on.
3. Set up the Antenna and WiFi Configuration. The WC400 includes three (3) independent WiFi radios, allowing for
a much more customizable and robust experience when using WiFi.
4. Connect the power source. The 4-pin power/GPIO cable connects directly to the router and is intended for
connecting to a DC power source. Refer to the following for pin configuration to ensure the cables are
connected appropriately:
