The CBA750B’s IP passthrough function takes the IP address of the attached modem and passes it through to the LAN. By default, the CBA750B is conﬁgured for IP passthrough – the device ships with the

ROUTER/PASSTHROUGH SWITCH

set to the I position (“O” is router mode; “I” is passthrough mode). Using

IP passthrough disables some of the device’s other router functionality.

There are three methods for setting up IP passthrough:

1) The

ROUTER/PASSTHROUGH SWITCH

• Load balance is disabled; the highest priority WAN device is used.

on the device itself is set to “I”. The I setting forces a complete IP

• The Routing Mode is set to IP Passthrough.

• The Subnet Selection Mode is set to “Automatically Create Subnet”.

• If you have created secondary networks, they are disabled: only the primary LAN is enabled.

In the administration pages, select GETTING STARTED ª

3) For custom conﬁguration, manually input IP passthrough settings in the administration pages (this is the

preferred method for network professionals). Go to

of these changes. Depending on your settings, you may need to go to other pages as well.

NOTE: Changes in the administration pages can overrule the switch setting, AND vice versa (i.e. the most recent setting changes are implemented, regardless of method). In the administration pages you can set the device to ignore changes to the router/passthrough switch. This option is listed under

UPDATING FIRMWARE

CradlePoint regularly creates new ﬁrmware packages. You may need to update ﬁrmware to use the CBA750B with

new modems and to access our latest features. Visit

knowledgebase.cradlepoint.com

for more information.

HOW TO UPDATE FIRMWARE

Select SYSTEM SETTINGS ª SYSTEM SOFTWARE.

Find the FIRMWARE UPGRADE section. This displays the current ﬁrmware version that is installed and

indicate if updated ﬁrmware is available.

Click AUTOMATIC (Internet) if new ﬁrmware is available. The CBA750B will download and install the ﬁrmware and automatically reboot itself. A status monitor will appear and indicate when this process is complete. This process may take several minutes depending on your Internet connection speed.

If your device does not have an active Internet connection (i.e. the modem is not working on older ﬁrmware), you need to download the latest ﬁrmware from www.cradlepoint.com/firmware to your desktop. Then use the

MANUAL FIRMWARE UPLOAD option.

This important Product Information and Safety Guide contains safety, handling, disposal, regulatory, trademark, copyright, and software licensing information. Read all safety information

below and operating instructions before using the CBA750B device to avoid injury.

FEDERAL COMMUNICATION COMMISSION INTERFERENCE STATEMENT This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,

pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,

uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,

there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

FCC CAUTION: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must

accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

FCC Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment.

This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator & your body.

To comply with FCC regulations limiting both maximum RF output power and human exposure to RF radiation, for the CBA750B-LE the maximum antenna gain must not exceed 8

dBi in the cellular band, 3 dBi in the PCS band and 10 dBi in the LTE band. For the CBA750B-LP the maximum antenna gain including cable loss must not exceed 7.5 dBi in the

cellular band, 3 dBi in the PCS band, 5.5 dBi in LTE Band 4, and 9 dBi in LTE Band 17. For the CBA750B-W the maximum antenna gain must not exceed 9.2 dBi in the 2.5 GHz

band (2496-2690 MHz).

SAFETY AND HAZARDS Under no circumstances should the CBA750B device be used in any areas (a) where blasting is in progress, (b) where explosive atmospheres may be

present, or (c) that are near (i) medical or life support equipment, or (ii) any equipment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the CBA750B device

MUST BE POWERED OFF AT ALL TIMES (since the device otherwise could transmit signals that might interfere with such equipment). In addition, under no circumstances should the

CBA750B device be used in any aircraft, regardless of whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In any aircraft, the CBA750B 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). Furthermore, under no circumstances should the CBA750B

device be used by the driver or operator of any vehicle. Such use of the device will detract from the driver’s or operator’s control of that vehicle. In some jurisdictions, use of the

CBA750B device while driving or operating a vehicle constitutes a civil and/or criminal offense.

Due to the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data by the CBA750B device can never be guaranteed, and it is possible that data communicated or

transmitted wirelessly may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., contain errors), or totally lost. The CBA750B device is not intended for, and CradlePoint recommends the device not be used

in, any critical applications where failure to transmit or receive data could result in property damage or loss or personal injury of any kind (including death) to the user or to any other

party. CradlePoint expressly disclaims liability for damages of any kind resulting from: (a) delays, errors, or losses of any data transmitted or received using the device; or (b) any

failure of the device to transmit or receive such data.

Warning: This product is only to be installed by qualified personnel!
