To return all the User Defined configurations (such as those specified in the Setup / Help Pages) to their original

factory default settings simply turn the unit OFF, press and hold the Factory Default Reset button, and turn the

unit ON. After the LEDs have flashed ON then OFF then ON again, release the button. All setting should be

reset.

USB-to-Modem Port

This is a standard USB port that is used to connect either to a USB modem or to a data-enabled cellular phone.

Cables for USB to Data connection vary by phone manufacturer and are not provided with the CTR. Contact your

service provider for further information.

CAUTION: Using a power supply with a different voltage than the one included with

your product will cause damage to the unit and void the warranty.

Getting Connected

The CTR supports two methods of connecting to the Internet: 1) a standard wired-WAN connection such as a DSL,

Cable, or Hotel Ethernet, or hosted LAN connection; or 2) a Cellular modem connection using either a data-enabled

handset or USB Modem. In the Wired-WAN case, connect the LAN cable into the Ethernet port of the CTR and it will

establishes a connection to the Internet. In the Cellular case, plug your USB modem or handset into the USB host port

and the CTR will establish a connection to the Internet.

The CTR unit will begin broadcasting signals to create a local Wireless LAN network. If using a cellular phone, be sure

you have configured the phone’s settings to act as a modem and have established a 'data plan' with your

carrier/operator. Note that even though you may have a "Data Plan" for Internet access on the phone, there may be a

separate option to enable 'tethered data'. If you do not have this option activated, you must contact your cellular

carrier to activate this service. From your PC, use the wireless network finder to associate with your new wireless

network. The first time you use the CTR your network will be named:

CTR-xxx

Where ‘xxx’ is the last three digits of the CTR’s 12 character MAC address (the MAC address is individualized and unique

to each unit). This MAC Address is printed on the bottom label of the CTR.

Once your computer has associated with your wireless network, open a standard Internet Browser application on your PC

and you will be prompted to enter a password. The default password is the last six (6) characters of the MAC address

(again, printed on the bottom of the unit). Once logged in, you will be presented with a 'successful logon' screen,

indicating you can begin access the Internet with any of your PC applications. If you want the CTR to automatically

recognize your PC, click the 'Remember Me' option, and your PC will be automatically logged in upon WLAN association.

It is recommended that you change your password after your first login, which is easily accomplished using the CTR

Setup Wizard.

So how does it all work?

The CradlePoint CTR is a 802.11b/g WiFi router that is also able to use a cellular phone–as-

modem. Regardless of the type of Internet Access you have – Wired-WAN, Wired LAN, or

Cellular, the CradlePoint CTR bridges from that Internet access to a local WiFi network. The

result is your own personal, portable wireless network or “hotspot”. Set it up anywhere

within your service provider’s coverage area whenever you want access to the Internet.

Tips and Troubleshooting

The Error Pages

DATA SERVICE UNAVAILABLE

The KRT is designed to recognize if your cellular phone is not

enabled with a tethered data plan required to operate as a

modem. If you see this page, first verify that your phone or

modem is correctly connected to the KRT. You may need to

contact your cellular service company for details about your

data plan.

PHONE NOT AVAILABLE

This page may occur for several reasons:

Your cellular phone or USB modem may not be securely

connected to the KRT.

Your phone is not on or in “modem” mode.

UNABLE TO CONNECT TO WAN

If this page appears , confirm that your phone or USB modem is turned

on, properly connected, has sufficient battery, and adequate coverage

and signal strength.

If you still are not able to get a connection, check the following:

Confirm that the cable connecting your phone or modem to the CTR is

good – try an alternative in case there is a poor connection.

The data port on your phone is bad.

The battery power on the KRT is low and needs to be connected to

external power.

Your cellular phone may be malfunctioning and/or your service provider

is having technical problems.

You should double-check your connections, and verify the proper operation of your

handset or modem. In the case of a USB modem, refer to your modem manual to

confirm that you have proper coverage and signal strength by observing its indicator

lights.

HANDSET ERROR

If your phone has a bad signal, no service plan, a bad connection

port, a low battery, is OFF, or malfunctioning in some way, you

may get this page.

Try turning your phone OFF, then back ON or contact your service

provider for technical assistance. If you have been successful at

connecting before, try relocating the phone or modem to insure

you have proper coverage.

DNS POISONING

Occasionally after changing settings and rebooting the KRT the

browser’s cache needs to be cleared. If you see this page simply close

completely out of your browser and launch it again.

MAXIMUM NUMBER OF USERS CONNECTED

Appearance of this page indicates the number of users/clients allowed on

your network has been reached.

Either the maximum allowed clients setting is set too low or already at full

capacity.

The number of clients allowed on your network is a setting you can change

in the Help and Setup Pages on your KRT. The setting is by default only

set to 1 for your security and can be adjusted in the Help and Setup Pages.

Security Notes

It is highly recommended that you follow the next few suggestions to help ensure your security while using the KRT:

1. Change Admin Password

Changing the password to access your new router is the first step in securing your network. This can be done through the Wizard or on

the Admin Page of the Tools tab. Make sure that the password you choose is not commonly known or something that is easy to guess

such as your last name or your pet’s name. Try using a combination of letters and numbers (alpha-numeric) to deter intruders from

breaking into your network. Your private information should be kept private.

2. Disable DHCP and use Static IP addresses or Use Static DHCP and limit scope to the amount of users on your network.

The KRT comes with the setting for maximum users on your network set to 1. Until you change this setting you will be the only

computer allowed to access the network. Even so, in the event that an intruder manages to gain access to your network, having DHCP

enabled makes it easier for the intruder to access other computers on your network.

There are two methods to prevent this:

One way is to disable DHCP and use static IP addressing on all the devices connected to your network. This would mean that the intruder

would have to know what network your devices are on in order to access them. However, this would make it more difficult to share

access with new or occasional users.

The second way is to change the scope of the DHCP server to only include enough IP addresses (or IP range) for the devices in your

network. You can then use the Static DHCP feature of the router to assign an IP address to each device on your network. Static DHCP still

dynamically assigns an IP address to your network devices but only allows for those defined devices to obtain an IP address.

3. Change the default LAN IP address

Change the default LAN IP address from 192.168.0.1 to an alternate IP address. There are 3 ranges of IP addresses that have been

reserved for use on Private Networks.

10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10.0.0.0/8)

172.16.0.0- 172.31.255.255 (172.16.0.0/12)

192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168.0.0/16)

CradlePoint KRT routers use 192.168.0.1 as their default LAN IP address. Choosing an alternate IP address lessens the probability of an

intruders knowing what IP network your devices are on.

4. Set up MAC Filtering

Each networking device (router, network card, etc) on a network contains a unique hexadecimal number that identifies that specific

product. This number is referred to as a MAC address. MAC filtering allows you to create a list of the MAC address of each device on your

network and only allows these specific devices to associate with your network. With this feature enabled, devices attempting to connect

to your network with a MAC address that is not in the list you created, will be denied access.

THE KRT COMES TO YOU WITH YOUR SECURITY IN MIND:

The Personal HotSpot is equipped with several features designed to maintain security and provide easy setup to with any Cellular data network.

· PCs Hidden by NAT

NAT opens a temporary path to the Internet for requests originating from the local network. Requests originating from outside the LAN

are discarded, preventing users outside the LAN from finding and directly accessing the PCs on the LAN.

· IP Address Sharing by NAT

The Personal HotSpot allows several networked PCs to share an Internet account using only a single IP address, which may be statically

or dynamically assigned by your Internet service provider (ISP). This technique, known as NAT, allows the use of an inexpensive single-

user ISP account.

· Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP

The Personal HotSpot dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, gateway, and domain name server (DNS)

addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies

configuration of PCs on your local network.

· DNS Proxy

When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the Personal HotSpot provides its own address as a DNS server to the

attached PCs. The Personal HotSpot obtains actual DNS addresses from the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests

from the LAN.
