• When you log in for the first time, you will be automatically directed to the First Time Setup Wizard. Follow the instructions given with the Wizard or see Getting Started – First Time Setup for more information about using the First Time Setup Wizard.

CRADLEPOINT CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0

3.3 Common Problems

This section contains some of the most common issues faced by users of the CBA750B. Please visit CradlePoint Knowledge Base at http://knowledgebase.cradlepoint.com/ for more help and answers to your

other questions.

3.3.1 You Cannot Connect to the Internet with a CradlePoint business-grade modem

Make sure that you have an active data plan and that your modem has been activated. A wireless broadband data plan

must be added to your business-grade modem. Wireless broadband data plans are available from wireless carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, and Sprint. A new line of service can be added or a data plan can be transferred from an existing account. You will need the ESN number (or SIM/IMEI number depending on your carrier plan) from the product label on your modem to add or transfer a line of service.

After adding a data plan to the modem, you may need to activate the modem:

1. Log in to the CBA750B administration pages (see Accessing the Administration Pages).

2. Select Internet from the top navigation bar and Modem Settings from the dropdown menu (Internet → Modem Settings).

3. Find and select the CradlePoint modem.

4. Click Update/Activate.

5. Click Activate in the popup.

Finally, if you have an active data plan and you have already activated your modem, you may be out of range of your service provider. Check your signal strength in the Internet section of the Dashboard (Status → Dashboard). If you have a weak signal in your location, contact your service provider.

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

CRADLEPOINT CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0

3.3.2 Your USB or ExpressCard Modem Does Not Work With the Router

• If your USB or ExpressCard modem is not working with the router, check the list of supported devices at

http://www.cradlepoint.com/modems to ensure you are using a supported device and carrier. The device you are

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.

• 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 CBA750B. Insert your USB data modem into your PC and access the Internet using the software provided by your cellular carrier. 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 a WiMAX modem, you need to set the WiMAX Realm. This can be done in the administration pages. Log in using the hostname “cp/” or IP address “http://192.168.0.1” in your browser. Go to Internet →

Connection Manager. In the WAN Interfaces section, select your modem and click “Edit.” Select the WiMAX Settings tab and select/input your WiMAX Realm.

• Some wireless carriers provide more than one Access Point Name (APN) that a modem can connect to. If you wish to specify the APN, this can be done on the administration pages. Log in using the hostname “cp/” or IP address “http://192.168.0.1” in your browser. Go to Internet → Connection Manager. In the WAN Interfaces section, select your modem and click “Edit.” Select the SIM/APN Settings tab. There is an Access Point Name field: Set the APN and click Submit. Some APN examples are isp.cingular, ecp.tmobile.com, and vpn.com. The modem must be removed and reinserted (or the router must be rebooted) for this change to take effect.

• If the above issues have been resolved and you can connect to the router but you cannot 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 at http://www.cradlepoint.com/firmware/CBA750B. Then log into the router administration

CRADLEPOINT CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0

pages and manually upload the firmware. Go to System Settings → System Software and click on “Manual Firmware Upload”.

If you are still unable to access the Internet after following the above directions, contact CradlePoint Technical Support for further assistance.

CRADLEPOINT CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0

4 WEB INTERFACE -- ESSENTIALS

The CBA750B has a Web interface for configuration and administration of all features. The interface is organized with 5 tabs at the top of the screen:

• Getting Started

CRADLEPOINT CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0

4.1 Administrator Login

To access the administration pages, open a Web browser and type the hostname “cp/” or IP address “http://192.168.0.1” into the address bar. The Administrator Login page will appear.

Log in using your administrator password. Initially, this password can be found on the bottom of the CBA750B unit as the Default Password. This password is also the last eight digits of the unit’s MAC address.

CRADLEPOINT CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0

You may have changed the administrator password during initial setup using the First Time Setup Wizard. Log in using your personalized administrator password.

If you have forgotten your personalized password, you can reset the CBA750B to factory defaults. When you reset the router, the administrator password will revert back to the Default Password. Press and hold the reset button on the router unit until the lights flash (approximately 10-15 seconds). You can then log in using the Default Password.

4.1.1 Router Details

The Administrator Login page includes a quick-reference section that shows the following information:

Router Details

• Model Number: CBA750B

• Internet Connection: Connected/Disconnected

Modem Details

• Manufacturer: The name of the modem manufacturer (CradlePoint, Novatel, etc.).

• Model: The name of the modem model.

• Signal: The strength of the signal (dBm).

• Mode: (LTE, EVDO, HSPA, etc.)

CRADLEPOINT CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0

4.2 Getting Started – First Time Setup

The First Time Setup Wizard will help you configure your APN and failure check settings and change your administrator password to something you choose.

1) Open a browser window and type “cp/” or “192.168.0.1” into the address bar. Press enter/return.

2) When prompted for your password, type the eight character Default Password found on the product label on the bottom of the CBA750B (this is also the last 8 digits of the router’s MAC address).

3) When you log in for the first time, you will be automatically directed to the 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.

5) You can select your TIME ZONE from a dropdown list. (This may be necessary to properly show time in your router log, but typically your router will automatically determine your time zone through your browser.) Click NEXT.

CRADLEPOINT CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0

6) 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. Some examples include:

• AT&T: "broadband"

• T-Mobile: "epc.tmobile.com"

• Rogers LTE: "lteinternet.apn"

• Bell: "inet.bell.ca"

• TELUS: "isp.telus.com"

You can either leave this on the Default setting or select Manual and input a specific APN.

If your specific modem or SIM already has APNs programmed into it, you should leave this on the Default setting. After finishing this Wizard go to Internet → Connection Manager, select your modem, and edit the settings. The SIM PIN/APN tab has more available settings than are provided here.

CRADLEPOINT CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0

7) Modem Authentication: Some modems require a username and password to be entered to authenticate with a carrier. Do not fill in these fields

unless you are sure your modem needs authentication.

• Authentication Protocol – Set this only if your service provider requires a specific protocol and the Auto option chooses the wrong one. Select from:

o Auto o Pap o Chap

• Username

• Password

CRADLEPOINT CBA750B | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.0

8) Configuring Failure Check: It is possible for a WAN interface to go down without the router recognizing the failure. (For example: the carrier for a

cellular modem goes dormant.) Enable Failure Check to ensure that you can get out to the Internet via your primary WAN connection. This option is disabled by default because it may use data unnecessarily. Use this in combination with failover or Aggressive Reset (Internet → Connection Manager under Modem Settings in the interface/rule editor).

Idle Check Interval: Set the number of seconds the router will wait between checks to see if the WAN is still available. (Default: 30 seconds. Range: 10-3600 seconds.)

Monitor while connected: Select from the dropdown menu. (Default: Off)

• Active Ping: A ping request will be sent to the Ping Target. If no data is received, the ping request will be retried 4 times at 5-second intervals. If still no data is received, the device will be disconnected and failover will occur. When “Active Ping” is selected, the next line gives an estimate of data usage in this form: “Active Ping could use as much as 9.3 MB of data per month.” This amount depends on the Idle Check Interval.

• Off: Once the link is established the router takes no action to verify that it is still up.

Ping IP Address: If you selected “Active Ping”, you will need to input an IP address that will respond to a ping request.

This IP address must be an address that can be reached through your WAN connection. Some ISPs/Carriers block certain addresses, so choose an address that all of your WAN connections can use. For best results, select an established public IP address. For example, you might ping Google Public DNS at 8.8.8.8 or Level 3 Communications at 4.2.2.2.

Click NEXT.
