CRADLEPOINT CBA850 | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.4.0
CBA850 Overview
WIRELESS WAN CONNECTIVITY
The Cradlepoint CBA850 mobile broadband series adapters enable easy-to-install wireless WAN connectivity in fixed-business locations. For distributed enterprises like branch offices, retail stores, restaurants, and small businesses, the CBA850 provides 3G/4G wireless network connectivity to keep your business up and running.
FAILOVER MADE SIMPLE
The Cradlepoint CBA850 3G/4G cellular broadband adapter provides IP passthrough capabilities for any device that requires wireless broadband access. For most applications, simply connect the CBA850 to an existing CPE router configured for WAN failover, and it’s ready to go. The CBA850 handles the wireless WAN connection through a 3G/4G modem (included with ARC models) when failover occurs.
PRIMARY CONNECT IS EASY TOO
For temporary networks – or when wired connections are impractical – the CBA850 can serve as a primary-connect device, converting mobile broadband to Ethernet for point-of-sale tools, digital signs, and kiosks.
KEY FEATURES
•3G/4G mobile broadband connectivity
•Drop into existing network for a turnkey failover solution
•Remote management capabilities
•Power-over-Ethernet (PoE)

Common Problems
This section contains some of the most common issues faced by users of the CBA850. Please visit Cradlepoint Knowledge Base at http://knowledgebase.Cradlepoint.com/ for more help and answers to your other questions.
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 CBA850 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 CBA850 | USER MANUAL Firmware version 5.4.0
Your USB Modem Does Not Work With the Router
•If your USB 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 CBA850. 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.
•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/CBA850. Then log into the router administration 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.

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 CBA850 (this is also the last eight 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.

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.

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.)
Failure Check: 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.
