Getting Started

1. Connect the Router to a Modem / Data Source.

Keep the router in the OFF position until the modem is securely connected. Connect a CradlePoint
Business-Grade Modem, or a supported USB or ExpressCard modem to the router in their appropriate
port or slot. Your modem will require an active subscription from your service provider. If you have not
already done so, add a service plan to your Integrated Business-Grade Modem by contacting your
service provider. You will need the modem IMEI, ESN, or WiMAX MAC and SIM ID (LTE/EVDO version
only).Connect a Cable or DSL modem to the Blue Ethernet WAN port (see page 4).

2. Connect the WiFi and Modem Antennas.

Attach the three included WiFi and optional modem antennas to the connectors. Antennas are jointed,
which enables you to position them for optimal WiFi broadcast. To attach, hold the antenna straight and
twist the base of the antenna to connect, folding the joint if needed. Please note that 2.4GHz antennas are
provided. 5GHz antennas are available as accessories.

3. Connect to a Power Source.

Connect the router to the provided power supply (12V DC Wall Adapter). When you flip the power switch
to the ON ( I ) position, watch for the appropriate modem LED to illuminate. Ensure the connected mo-
dem LED is lit with a solid green light, which indicates that the modem is properly connected. For other
LED states, please see descriptions on page 11 and 12.
