NOTE: Cradlepoint primarily recommends the extended temperature adapter because it covers the COR IBR1100/ IBR1150 full temperature range of −30 °C to 70 °C. Cost-sensitive customers that intend to use the IBR1100/IBR1150 in temperature-controlled office environments can order the 170584-002 adapter, but it limits the operating temperature range to 0 °C to 40 °C.
7/15/16 BUSINESS-GRADE MODEM SPECIFICATIONS COR IBR1100/IBR1150 LP6 models include an integrated LTE Advanced Category 6 4G LTE modem. The LP6 modems support SIM-Based Auto-Carrier selection so there is only one model for all of North America. Simply insert the SIM and wait for the router to automatically detect the SIM and establish a connection.
5. Attach modem door (D) using M3 screws (E). 6. With USB port of the IBR1100 facing the USB connector of the IBR1100 dock, slide the mounting flange(s) of the router (F) into the guide rails(s) of the dock (A).
User Manual IBR1100/IBR1150 7/15/16 LEDS POWER The Cradlepoint IBR1100/IBR1150 must be powered using an approved 9-36 VDC power source. • Blue = Powered ON. • No Light = Not receiving power. Check the power switch and the power source connection.
BASIC SETUP 1. Insert an activated SIM A wireless broadband data plan must be added to your Cradlepoint IBR1100. Wireless broadband data plans are available from wireless carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, EE, and Vodafone. The SIM must be provisioned with the carrier.
When you log in for the first time, you will be automatically directed to the FIRST TIME SETUP WIZARD, which will walk you through the steps to customize your Cradlepoint AER3100. You have the ability to configure any of the following: •...
“Register”. Once you have registered your device, go to cradlepointecm.com and log in using your ECM credentials. For more information about how to use Cradlepoint Enterprise Cloud Manager, see the following: • Getting Started •...
This name is referred to as the SSID (service set identifier). For security purposes, Cradlepoint highly recommends that you change this from the pre-configured name. Hidden: This shows whether the router broadcasts its SSID.

NOTE: If you don’t know whether you should choose Personal or Enterprise, assume Personal since you need to know RADIUS authentication for Enterprise. In order to protect your network from hackers and unauthorized users, Cradlepoint highly recommends WPA2/ AES for security if your attached devices can support it. WEP and WPA/TKIP are obsolete and have been replaced by WPA/AES.
CP Secure VPN allows IT managers to secure their expanding Edge Networks using architectures that scale quickly and are easy to maintain. For more information, visit cradlepoint.com. Click Add to configure a new CP Secure VPN tunnel; click Edit to make changes to an existing tunnel.

DH Group. Phase 2 and phase 1 selections do not have to match. For the Hash selection an added value of SHA 256_128 (128-bit truncation) is avaliable. The original specification and the Cradlepoint default is 96-bit truncation, but RFC4868 requires 128-bit. A VPN to newer Cisco or Juniper devices will typically require 128-bit.

Generic Routing Encapsulation (GRE) tunnels can be used to create a connection between two private networks. Most Cradlepoint routers are enabled for both GRE and VPN tunnels. GRE tunnels are simpler to configure and more flexible for different kinds of packet exchanges, but VPN tunnels are much more secure.

Click Finish to save this rule. DNS SERVERS DNS, or Domain Name System, is a naming system that translates between domain names (www.cradlepoint. com, for example) and Internet IP addresses (206.207.82.197). A DNS server acts as an Internet phone book, translating between names that make sense to people and the more complex numerical identifiers.
WiFi Radio #1 (2.4 GHz) • WiFi Radio #2 (5 GHz) All Cradlepoint routers and some other routers use the same default IP address for the primary network: 192.168.0.1. If you attempt to set up WiFi as WAN and there is an “IP conflict,” you need to change the IP address.
Port – Select by the physical port on the router that you are plugging the modem into (e.g., “USB Port 2”). • Manufacturer – Select by the modem manufacturer (e.g., “Cradlepoint Inc.”). • Model – Set your rule according to the specific model of modem.
FQDN addresses in the same identity. IP addresses are entered using CIDR notation, e.g. 1.2.3.4/32 and 0123:4567::CDEF/128. FQDN addresses are entered with at least one dot separating a top-level domain from a root zone, e.g. cradlepoint.com. To add a Host Address Identity, click Add. PORTS A port identity member can be entered as a single Start port number or as a port range by entering both a Start and End port number.

The primary purpose for Cradlepoint’s NPT implementation is for failover/failback and load balancing setups. LAN clients can potentially retain the original IPv6 lease information and may experience a more seamless transition when WAN connectivity changes than if not utilizing NPT.
HTTPS Port (Optional): The port for the proxy to forward HTTPS traffic to. HTTPS is not transparently intercepted and must have the LAN clients configured to use the Cradlepoint router as a proxy for HTTPS to work properly. MAC WEB FILTER RULES...

Configuring Your APN and Modem Authentication If you are using a SIM-based modem (LTE/GSM/HSPA) with your Cradlepoint router you may need to configure the APN before it will properly connect to your carrier. Wireless carriers offer several APNs so check with your carrier to confirm the appropriate one to use.

IP PASSTHROUGH SETUP IP passthrough takes a 3G/4G WAN data source (USB, ExpressCard, or Cradlepoint business-grade modem) and passes the IP address through to Ethernet LAN. Enabling IP passthrough will make many changes to your router configuration. Please review this list and ensure they are compatible with how the router will be used.
To comply with FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation, for the IBR1100 and IBR1150, the maximum antenna gain in the cellular bands must not exceed 3dBi. For the IBR1100, the maximum WiFi antenna gain in the 2.4 and 5 GHz bands must not exceed 5dBi.
In addition, under no circumstances should the IBR1100 device be used in any aircraft, regardless of whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In any aircraft, the IBR1100 device MUST BE POWERED OFF AT ALL TIMES (since the device otherwise could transmit signals that might interfere with various onboard systems on such aircraft).
