MBR1400E-SP – 3G EVDO for Sprint 1.2 System Requirements At least one Internet source: a CradlePoint 3G/4G business-grade modem, an Ethernet-based modem, a broadband data modem with active subscription (USB, ExpressCard), or WiFi as WAN. Windows 2000/XP/7, Mac OS X, or Linux computer (with WiFi adapter—802.11n recommended—for WiFi functionality).
Internet. In addition to connection options for traditional wired networking solutions like cable, DSL, satellite, or T1, the most powerful feature of the MBR1400 is its ability to use CradlePoint business-grade modems or USB or ExpressCard data modems to create instant networks anywhere you receive a broadband signal.

I = On O = Off 3G/4G Modem Signal Strength Button: When pressed the bar LEDs indicate signal strength from the CradlePoint business-grade modem or USB or ExpressCard modem. The signal strength is shown for 10 seconds if the modem does not support concurrent data connection and signal strength measurement.
Your router requires an Internet source. Attach a USB/ExpressCard modem(s) CradlePoint business-grade modem, insert one or Integrated CradlePoint business-grade modem 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.

FIRST TIME SETUP WIZARD. (Otherwise, go to Getting Started → First Time Setup). 4) CradlePoint recommends that you change the router’s ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD, which is used to log in to the administration pages. The administrator password is separate from the WiFi security password, although initially the Default Password is used for both.

The router cannot use 802.11n modes if WEP is enabled; WiFi performance and range will be limited. NONE (OPEN): Select this option if you do not want to activate any security features. CradlePoint recommends BEST (WPA2) WiFi security. Try this option first and switch only if you have a device that is incompatible with WPA2.

7) Configuring Your Access Point Name (APN): 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.
MBR1400 | USER MANUAL – Firmware version 4.4 CRADLEPOINT 4.3 Quick Links The CradlePoint logo in the upper left-hand corner of all the administration pages is a link to the Dashboard (Status → Dashboard), which displays fundamental information about the router.

If you want to change the content filtering settings for the network created by the MBR1400, go to the Network Settings tab. If you have multiple Internet sources (such as a CradlePoint business-grade modem and an Ethernet connection) for which you would like to set priority levels, go to the Internet tab.
CRADLEPOINT 4.5 Enterprise Cloud Manager Registration To register your device with CradlePoint Enterprise Cloud, navigate to Getting Started → Enterprise Cloud Manager Registration. Input your ECM Username and ECM Password and click Register. You have now registered the device with Enterprise Cloud Manager.
You can quickly enable IP passthrough with the IP Passthrough Setup Wizard available under Getting Started → 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.
After the initial setup of the router, every time you log in you will automatically be directed to this Dashboard. Also, you can click on the CradlePoint logo in the upper left-hand corner to return to the Dashboard from any page.
CRADLEPOINT 6.3 DNS 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. The DNS page for the MBR1400 has these distinct functions: ...

IPv6 providers, but it cannot be used effectively in all situations. 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.

Enabled: Click to enable/disable the policy. (Default: enabled.) Network Areas: Areas are identified by an ID number. As of 4.1.1, CradlePoint only supports area 0. Use the IP address and netmask fields to associate a network with this policy. Also, choose whether to select Passive (active by default).

Name: This primarily helps to identify this network during other administration tasks. Hostname: [Default: cp (for CradlePoint)] The hostname is the DNS name associated with the router's local area network IP address. NOTE: You can access the router’s administration pages by typing the hostname into your browser, so if you change “cp”...

WiFi Name (SSID): When users browse for available wireless networks, this is the name that they will see. 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.
Page 119
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.

Force 3G (EVDO, UMTS, HSPA): Connect to 3G network only. Force 2G (1xRTT, EDGE, GPRS): Connect to 2G network only. See the following tables for a breakdown of the technologies used with various CradlePoint COR models when any Modem Connection Mode is selected.
Unless a selected WiFi source is on an unprotected network, you will need to know its password or key. 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,”...

When in WiFi Bridge mode with a configured profile, a WiFi Bridge device will be added to the local network interfaces, providing a way to bridge two LANs over a WiFi connection. For example, two separate CradlePoint routers linked through WiFi Bridge mode allows you to have one WiFi-connected network in two separated sections of a large office building.

If this occurs, disable this option. Log to attached USB stick: Only enable this option if instructed by a CradlePoint support agent. This will write a very verbose log file to the root level of an attached USB stick. Please disable the feature before removing the USB stick, or you may lose some logging data.
