ACTIVATE YOUR MODEM
A Cradlepoint router requires a SIM with an active data subscription to a
wireless broadband data plan to connect to a wireless network. SIMs with
wireless broadband data plans are available from wireless carriers such
as AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, T-Mobile. 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).
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
firmware and modem updates, clock synchronization (NTP), and Enterprise
Cloud Manager (ECM) 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:
