Unless the default configuration is sufficient, YOU MUST CONFIGURE EACH INTERFACE SEPARATELY in order to create the desired interface options for a network.
  • Page 85 IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 4.0.2 CRADLEPOINT Wireless Network Editor WiFi Name (SSID): When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will be broadcast from this router for the selected network. 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 86 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 WEP and WPA/TKIP are obsolete and have been replaced by WPA/AES.
  • Page 87 IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 4.0.2 CRADLEPOINT NOTE: If you select one of the security modes and are unable to connect to the router afterwards, you can use the reset buttons to reset the router to its factory default state and try a different security mode instead.
  • Page 88 IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 4.0.2 CRADLEPOINT Ethernet Port Configuration Ethernet Port Configuration provides controls for your router’s Ethernet ports. There are two ports: one set as LAN and one set as WAN. While default settings will be sufficient in most circumstances, you have the ability to control: Mode (WAN or LAN) and Link Speed.
  • Page 89 Since the IBR600/IBR650 has only 2 Ethernet ports, this feature will rarely be necessary. It is possible, however, to set both ports as LAN ports (or both ports as WAN ports) and then either separate them or group them together.
  • Page 90 IBR600| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 4.0.2 CRADLEPOINT VLAN Interfaces A virtual local area network, or VLAN, functions as any other physical LAN, but it enables computers and other devices to be grouped together even if they are not physically attached to the same network switch.

    The IBR600/IBR650 uses IPsec (Internet Protocol security) to authenticate and encrypt packets exchanged across the tunnel. To set up a VPN tunnel with the IBR600/IBR650 on one end, there must be another device (usually a router) that also supports IPsec on the other end.
