Quick Start Guide / MBR1200B
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 offer several different 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.
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
NetCloud OS and modem updates, clock synchronization (NTP), and NetCloud Manager 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:

option in the top toolbar. In the dropdown
