3 QUICK START

3.1 Setting Up Your Adapter

 Connect Mobile Broadband Device – Plug a Business-Grade

Cradleptoint Modem, or USB or ExpressCard data modem into the appropriate slot. The data modem should have an active data plan.

 Place CBA750 Adapter in best signal location – Use Modem

Signal Strength display to find the best location for the CBA750 Adapter. Use provided mounting hardware if desired.

 Connect to a Router or Switch – Plug the Ethernet cable into a

routing device or switch.

 Connect Power Supply – Connect the included power adapter if not using Power-over-Ethernet (PoE).

For most users, the CBA750 Adapter can be used without configuration. When needed, set the Configuration switch to “O” to place the unit into configuration mode.

Configuration mode is used to set up user parameters, download new firmware, and enable cellular modem diagnostics by accessing the administration page at http://192.168.0.1

3.2 Firmware Features

CRADLEPOINT CBA750 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.9.0

3.3 Common Problems

This section contains a list of some of the most common issues faced by users of the CBA750. Please visit CradlePoint Knowledgebase at http://knowledgebase.cradlepoint.com/ for more help and answers to your

other questions.

3.3.1 Your USB Modem or Phone Does Not Work With the Router  If your USB data modem or phone is not working with the router, check the list of supported devices to ensure you

are using a supported device and carrier. The device you‟re using must be supported on the carrier network providing your cellular service or it‟s considered an unsupported device, even if it is supported on another carrier‟s

network.

CradlePoint‟s supported device list changes regularly. We update our supported device list after a device is

certified and approved. If the device you have is NOT on the list, that means we do not support it at this time. The SUPPORTED DEVICE list can be found at: cradlepoint.com/support/CBA750

 Sometimes a USB data modem needs to be updated or have other configurations set correctly in order to make a

connection through the router. If your USB Modem has not been updated recently, it is recommended that you do so if it is having trouble connecting to the CBA750. Simply insert your USB data modem into your PC and using the software provided by your cellular carrier, access the Internet. Follow the directions provided to complete the update. Once you have updated your USB data modem, reconnect the cellular device to your CradlePoint router and connect to the Internet.

 If you are using 4G modem you need to set the WiMAX Realm. This can be done at the administrative page (login

to IP address http://192.168.0.1) and go to Modem → Settings. Under Modem Specific Settings use the WiMAX Realm Select to select your carrier. Make sure you Save Settings.

 Some wireless carriers provide multiple Access Point Names that a modem can connect to. If you wish to specify

an APN, this can be done at the administrative page (login to IP address http://192.168.0.1) and go to Modem →

Settings. Enter the APN and Save Settings. Some examples of APN are isp.cingular, ecp.tmobile.com and vpn.com. This APN will be set in the first profile position (see Modem Diagnostics). The modem must be

CRADLEPOINT CBA750 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.9.0

removed and reinserted for this change to take affect (or the router rebooted). This APN is associated with the modem in the interface referred to in the Modem Interface dropdown menu, so multiple APNs may be entered.

 If the above issues have been resolved and you can connect to the router but not get Internet through it using your

modem you may need to upgrade the router firmware. Use your computer (you may need to plug your modem

directly into your computer if you don‟t have another way to access the internet) to download the latest firmware for

the router (found at: www.cradlepoint.com/support/CBA750). Then login to the router admin page and manually upload the firmware (directions can be found in this manual in section 6.2.2).

 If you are still unable to access the Internet after following the above directions, contact CradlePoint Technical

Support for further assistance.

CRADLEPOINT CBA750 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.9.0

3.3.2 You are Connected to the Router but Cannot Connect to the Internet

The status LEDs of your router will give you an indication whether or not a proper connection is being made. See the LED STATUS definitions below:

If the USB Data Modem LEDs are not illuminated, your modem is not connected and online. You may need to update firmware. Refer to “Your USB Modem or Phone Does Not Work With The Router.”

If you are still not online after updating, call CradlePoint Technical Support for further assistance.

4 ADMINISTRATIVE TABS AND SUB-MENUS

The CBA750 has a Web interface that provides a set of tabs and sub-menus for configuration and administration of all features. The interface is organized with 5 tabs at the top of the screen.

 Basic  Modem  Tools  Status  Help

Within each of the 5 tabs, there are sub-menus along the left side of the web page that you use to navigate to the specific function/task you wish to manage.

CRADLEPOINT CBA750 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.9.0

4.1 Basic Tab

The Basic tab provides access to the 4 sub-menus for administering the following function/tasks:

 IP PASSTHRU  DHCP  NETWORK  WAN

CRADLEPOINT CBA750 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.9.0

4.2 IP Pass-Thru

IP Passthru allows a client connected to the private network to be configured automatically with the public IP address acquired from the ISP. The configuration is done by passing the client a DHCP lease with the public IP address when the WAN becomes connected. If there is more than one client connected to the private LAN, the user can bind the MAC address of a particular client to IP Passthru in order to ensure that client always receives the correct DHCP lease. Otherwise, the IP Passthru will pick the first device connected to the LAN to use IP Passthru.

4.2.1 IP Passthru Mode

IP Passthru Mode. Selecting Bind MAC Automatically will allow IP Passthru to automatically try to setup the client's connection to the Internet. This setting is the default setting, and should work in most cases. However, if there is more than one client connected to the private network, then selecting Bind MAC Manually will configure the router to only allow one particular client.

Client MAC Address. If you would like IP Passthru to be restricted to

a particular client, enable this option and enter the client‟s MAC

address into the association field. The router will grab the MAC address of the client connected to it during configuration. If this isn't the right address, enter the MAC of the correct device.

Ignore Switch Position. The CBA750 has a Configuration Switch on the outside of the router that can be set to Passthru Mode or Configuration Mode. Selecting Ignore Switch Position disables this switch so that you control this setting through the administration pages only. If you select Ignore Switch Position, you must then also choose either:

 Force Passthru Mode  Force Configuration Mode

CRADLEPOINT CBA750 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.9.0

IP Passthru Subnet Mode. The subnet mask determines the number of available IP addresses. Your router can automatically create this value, or you can assign a value for your specific needs.

 Automatically create subnet mask. Allow the router to set the subnet mask value.  Assign /31 subnet mask (RFC-3201). This setting maximizes address space when only two hosts are connected

by a point-to-point link.

 Custom subnet mask and gateway. You can manually assign your own values for the Subnet Mask and

Gateway Address.

CRADLEPOINT CBA750 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.9.0

4.3 DHCP (DHCP Settings)

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP section is where you configure the built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to the computers and other devices on your local area network (LAN).

Use the DHCP section to configure the built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to the computers and other devices on the local area network.

4.3.1 DHCP Server Settings

Enable DHCP Server. (Default: Enabled). Once your CBA750 router is properly configured and this option is enabled, the DHCP Server will manage the IP addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other devices connected to your Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself.

The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP configuration set to "DHCP" or "Obtain an IP address automatically".

When you set Enable DHCP Server, the following options are displayed. DHCP IP Address Range. (Default: 192.168.0.100-192.168.0.199). This

option defines the range of addresses available for the CBA750 to assign to an internal network. If there are any devices using static IP addresses, you must be sure the addresses do not fall within the range defined here. A Static IP address is one that is entered in manually on the device.

Example: The CBA750 uses an IP address of 192.168.0.1. A computer designated as a Web server has a static IP address of 192.168.0.3. Another computer is designated as an FTP server with a static IP address

CRADLEPOINT CBA750 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.9.0

of 192.168.0.4. The starting IP address for the DHCP server needs to be 192.168.0.5 or above.

DHCP Lease Time. (Default: 1440 minutes [24 hours]). The amount of time a computer may have an IP address before it is required to renew the lease. The initial lease designates the amount of time before the lease expires. If the lease expires and the address is no longer needed, then another tenant may use the address. Units are in minutes, however a value of zero (0) means the lease never expires.

Always Broadcast. If all the computers on the LAN successfully obtain their IP addresses from the router‟s DHCP server,

this option can remain disabled. However, if one of the computers on the LAN fails to obtain an IP address, it may have an old DHCP client that incorrectly turns off the broadcast flag of DHCP packets. Enabling Always Broadcast will cause the router to always broadcast its responses to all clients, thereby working around the problem (at the cost of increased broadcast traffic on the LAN).

NetBIOS Announcement. Check this box to allow the DHCP Server to offer NetBIOS configuration settings to the LAN hosts. NetBIOS allows LAN hosts to discover all other

computers within the network, e.g. within “Network

Neighborhood.”

Learn BIOS from WAN. If NetBIOS advertisement is switched on, WINS information will be learned from the WAN side, if available. Turn this setting off to configure manually.

NetBIOS Scope. This is an advanced setting and is normally left blank. This allows the configuration of a NetBIOS

“domain” name under which network hosts operate. This

setting has no effect if the Learn NetBIOS information from WAN is activated.

NetBIOS Node Type. Indicates how network hosts are to

perform NetBIOS name registration and discovery. This setting has no effect if the Learn

NetBIOS information from WAN is activated.

CRADLEPOINT CBA750 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.9.0

 Broadcast only. This setting is useful where there are no WINS servers available, however, it is preferred you

try Mixed-Mode operation first.

 Point-to-Point Mode. This setting indicates to use WINS servers ONLY. This setting is useful to force all

NetBIOS operation to the configured WINS servers. You must have configured at least the primary WINS server IP to point to a working WINS server.

 Mixed-Mode (default). First broadcast operation is performed to register hosts and discover other hosts, if

broadcast operation fails, WINS servers are tried, if any. This mode favors broadcast operation which may be preferred if WINS servers are reachable by a slow network link and the majority of network services such as servers and printers are local to the LAN.

 Hybrid-State. First WINS servers are tried, if any, followed by local network broadcast. This is generally the

preferred mode if you have configured WINS servers.

Primary WINS IP Address. Configure the IP address of the preferred WINS server. WINS Servers store information

regarding network hosts, allowing hosts to „register‟ themselves as well as discover other available hosts, e.g. for use in

“Network Neighborhood.” This setting has no effect if the Learn NetBIOS information from WAN is activated.

Secondary WINS IP Address. Configure the IP address of the backup WINS server, if any. This setting has no effect if the Learn NetBIOS information from WAN is activated.

4.3.2 Number of Dynamic DHCP Clients.

This section displays what devices are currently leasing IP addresses. The DHCP Client table displays the number of clients that are receiving an IP address from the router, the computer name, MAC address, and IP address assigned to each computer. You can use the Revoke IP address option to take away a leased IP address from a client. This feature is useful for freeing up addresses when the client table is full or nearly full.

4.3.3 Add DHCP Reservation

Clients configured as DHCP can receive the same IP address all the time using this feature. This is almost the same as if a device has a static IP address except that it must still actually

CRADLEPOINT CBA750 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.9.0

request an IP address from the CBA750. The CBA750 will provide the device the same IP address all the time. Servers on the network should either use a static IP address or this option.

Enable. Specifies whether the entry will be active or inactive. Computer Name. You can assign a name for each computer that is given a reserved IP address. This may help you keep

track of which computers are assigned this way. Example: Game Server. IP Address. The LAN address that you want to reserve. MAC Address. To input the MAC address of your system, enter it manually or connect to the router‟s Web-Management

interface from the system and click the Copy Your PC’s MAC Address button. A MAC address is usually located on a sticker on the bottom of a network device. The MAC address is comprised of

twelve digits. Each pair of hexadecimal digits are usually separated by dashes or colons such as 00-0D-88-11-22-33 or 00:0D:88:11:22:33. If your network device is a computer and the network card is already located inside the computer, you can connect to the router from the computer and click the Copy Your PC’s MAC Address button to enter the MAC address.

(continued)

CRADLEPOINT CBA750 | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 1.9.0

As an alternative, you can locate a MAC address in a specific operating system by following the steps below:

 Windows 98/Windows Me. Go to the

computer‟s Start menu, select Run, type in winipcfg, and hit Enter. A popup window will

be displayed. Select the appropriate adapter from the pull-down menu and you will see the Adapter Address. This is the MAC address of the device.

 Windows 2000/Windows XP/Windows 7. Go to the computer‟s Start menu, select Programs, select Accessories,

and select Command Prompt. At the command prompt, type in ipconfig /all and hit Enter. The physical address displayed for the adapter connecting to the router is the MAC address.

 Mac OS X. Go to the computer‟s Apple Menu, select System Preferences, select Network, and select the

Ethernet Adapter connecting to the router. Select the Ethernet button and the Ethernet ID will be listed. This is

the same as the MAC.

Save/Update. Record the changes you have made. Clear. Re-initialize this area of the screen, discarding any changes you have made.

When you are done editing the settings, you must click the Save Settings button at the top of the page to make the changes effective and permanent.

Example: A DHCP reservation is used for making sure the router always gives a computer or device the same IP address.

Let‟s say you have a Wi-Fi printer that you want to access via the Internet. You can connect to the CradlePoint Router

from the Wi-Fi printer designated in this section.

1. Enter a designated IP address somewhere between the Starting IP and Ending IP addresses.

2. Click the Copy Your PC’s MAC Address button and the CBA750 will detect the MAC address of the device and

enter it automatically.

3. The printer name can be entered in for reference but is not required.

4. Click the Save Settings button at the top of the page.
