QUICK START

BASIC SETUP

1. Insert an activated SIM

A wireless broadband data plan must be added to your Cradlepoint IBR900. Wireless broadband data plans are available from wireless carriers such as Verizon, AT&T, Sprint, EE, and Vodafone. The SIM must be provisioned with the carrier. Contact your carrier for details about selecting a data plan and about the process for provisioning your SIM.

Once you have an activated SIM, insert it into the integrated modem. Insert the SIM card into the slot marked SIM 1 (use the other slot, SIM 2, for a secondary/backup SIM).

To insert or remove SIM card:

1.Remove dual SIM cover.

2.Insert SIM card notch-end first with metal contacts down.

3.Replace dual SIM cover.

Note: Device will not power on without cover in place.

2. Attach the WiFi and modem antennas

Attach the three WiFi antennas (included) and two modem antennas to the connectors. Antennas are jointed, which enables you to position them for optimal signal. To attach, hold the antenna straight and twist the base of the antenna to connect, folding the joint if needed. NOTE: Ensure that the router antennas are not near metal or other RF reflective surfaces.

3. Connect to power source

Wire power cable to 9-33 V power source. (AC power supply sold separately.)

ACCESSING THE ADMINISTRATION PAGES

Once you are connected, open the Cradlepoint IBR600C’s GUI-based administration pages to make configuration changes to your router.

1.Open a browser window and type “cp/” or “192.168.0.1” in the address bar. Press ENTER/RETURN.

2.When prompted for your password, type the eight character DEFAULT PASSWORD found on the product label.

NOTE: The product label shown is an example only: your DEFAULT PASSWORD and SSID will be unique.

It’s possible – and more efficient – to do all your configuration changes through Cradlepoint NetCloud Manager (NCM) without logging into the local administration pages. Set up a group of routers and set the configuration for all of them at once. See below for more information about NCM.

CONNECTION MANAGER

The router can establish an uplink via Ethernet, WiFi as WAN, or 3G/4G modems (removable or external USB). If the primary WAN connection fails, the router will automatically attempt to bring up a new link on another device: this feature is called failover. If Load Balance is enabled, multiple WAN devices may establish a link concurrently.

WAN INTERFACE PROFILES & PRIORITY

This is a list of the available interfaces used to access the Internet. You can enable, stop, or start devices from this section. Drag the priority icon ( ) up or down to set the interface the router uses by default and the order that it allows failover.

Availability Key

Load Balance

Data Usage

Standby

On Demand

Failback

 

STANDBY

Standby is used to decrease failover time from one WAN interface to another. When Standby is enabled for a

WAN profile or interface, the relevant interfaces are kept in a connected-but-idle (minimal, non-routed traffic) state. When the current WAN connection is disrupted, the traffic will failover to the next priority WAN. If that interface is on Standby, the connection is already established and failover will take much less time.

Note that the current connected interface(s) is/are indicated by a green connection state. For interfaces on Standby, the interface is indicated by a yellow connection state. If the interface is indicated in red, the interface is not currently connected or in Standby.

Standby is used to enable faster failover times only. If you want to manage traffic to a specific WAN interface, you will need to use WAN Affinity. If WAN Affinity is enabled for a particular profile or interface, do not enable Standby for that profile or interface as the failover results may vary and be unexpected.

LOAD BALANCE

To enable Load Balancing, select the check box for each desired device. If this is enabled, the router will use multiple WAN interfaces to increase the data transfer throughput by using any connected WAN interface consecutively. Selecting Load Balance will automatically start the WAN interface and add it to the pool of WAN interfaces to use for data transfer. Turning off Load Balance for an active WAN interface may require the user to restart any current browsing session.

From WAN Management, select the Load Balance Algorithm from the following dropdown options:

Round-Robin: Evenly distribute each session to the available WAN connections.

Rate: Distribute load based on the current upload and download rates. A WAN device’s upload and download bandwidth values can be set in CONNECTION MANAGER.

Spillover: This was the default algorithm in older (version

3) firmware. Load is always given to devices with the most available bandwidth. The estimated bandwidth rate is

based on a combination of the upload and download configuration values and the observed capabilities of the device.

Data Usage: This mode works in concert with the Client Data Usage feature.

The router will make a best effort to keep data usage between interfaces at a similar percentage of the assigned data cap in the data usage rule for each interface, rather than distributing sessions based solely on bandwidth. For proper functioning you need to create data usage rules for each WAN device you will be load balancing. Make certain to select the “Use with Load Balancing” checkbox in the data usage rule editor.

ON DEMAND

Typically, modem connections are not always on. When the On Demand mode is selected a connection to the Internet is made as needed. When On Demand is not selected a connection to the Internet is always maintained.

WAN VERIFY

If this is enabled, the router will check that the highest priority active WAN interface can get to the Internet even if the WAN connection is not actively being used. If the interface goes down, the router will switch to the next highest priority interface available. If this is not selected, the router will still failover to the next highest priority interface but only after the user has attempted to get out to the Internet and failed.

Idle Check Interval: The amount of time between each check. (Default: 30 seconds. Range: 10-3600 seconds.)

Monitor while connected: (Default: Off) Select from the following dropdown options:

Passive DNS (modem only): The router will take no action until data is detected that is destined for the WAN. When this data is detected, the data will be sent and the router will check for received data for two seconds. If no data is received the router behaves as described below under Active DNS.

Active DNS (modem only): A DNS request will be sent to the DNS servers. If no data is received, the DNS request will be retried four times at five-second intervals. (The first two requests will be directed at the

Primary DNS server and the second two requests will be directed at the Secondary DNS server.) If still no data is received, the device will be disconnected and failover will occur.

Active Ping: A ping request will be sent to the Ping Target. If no data is received, the ping request will be retried four times at five-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.

FAILBACK

This is used to configure failback, which is the ability to go back to a higher priority WAN interface if it regains connection to its network.

Select the Failback Mode from the following options:

Usage

Time

Disabled

Usage Threshold: Fail back based on the amount of data passed over time. This is a good setting for when you have a dual-mode EVDO/WiMAX modem and you are going in and out of WiMAX coverage.

If the router has failed over to EVDO it will wait until you have low data usage before bringing down the EVDO connection to check if a WiMAX connection can be made.

High (Rate: 80 KB/s. Time Period: 30 seconds.)

Normal (Rate: 20 KB/s. Time Period: 90 seconds.)

Low (Rate: 10 KB/s. Time Period: 240 seconds.)

Custom (Rate range: 1-100 KB/s. Time Period range: 10-300 seconds.)

Time: Fail back only after a set period of time. (Default: 90 seconds. Range: 10-300 seconds.) This is a good setting if you have a primary wired WAN connection and only use a modem for failover when your wired connection goes down. This ensures that the higher priority interface has remained online for a set period of time before it becomes active (in case the connection is dropping in and out, for example).

Disabled: Deactivate failback mode.

Immediate Mode: Fail back immediately whenever a higher priority interface is plugged in or when there is a priority change. Immediate failback returns you to the use of your preferred Internet source more quickly which may have advantages such as reducing the cost of a failover data plan, but it may cause more interruptions in your network than Usage or Time modes.

DATA USAGE

Data Usage displays upload and download traffic for each LAN client. Check Monitor Monthly (or Weekly or Daily) Usage

to begin tracking this information. This data is not retained between router reboots.

For Monthly and Weekly you are able to specify the day to start each cycle (e.g. the 1st or Tuesday, respectively).

Usage Cap: Enter a Cap amount in Megabytes. 1024 Megabyte is equal to 1 Gigabyte.

Use with Load Balancing: When checked, the Load Balancing feature is allowed to use the thresholds and metrics of this rule when making balance decisions. This causes Load Balancing to spread the data usage between interfaces according to the assigned usage rather than bandwidth. This is a best effort to keep all interfaces with these rules at a similar percentage utilization of data (e.g. 10%, 50%, 90%) as the cycle

progresses, rather than quickly using 100% of a fast 1 GB capped interface while using only a fraction of a slow 10 GB capped interface, thus leaving the rest of the cycle with only the slow interface. The Data Usage algorithm on the WAN Affinity/Load Balancing page must be selected or this checkbox has no effect.

Shutdown on Cap: When checked, the WAN device will shutdown when the assigned usage is reached. A cycle reset or a rule deletion will re-enable the device.

Alert on Cap: An email alert will be generated and sent when the assigned data cap is reached. NOTE: The SMTP mail server must be configured in System > Device Alerts.

Custom Alerts: Check to enable custom alerts at specified percentage of usage cap.

Custom Alert Percentages: Example: “50,80,90,110” (values can exceed 100%) (Triggers alerts when 50, 80, 90, 110% of usage cap is used)

NOTE: To enable data usage, check Data Usage Enabled from WAN Management.
