ACTIVATE YOUR MODEM
A wireless broadband data plan must be added to your IBR600. A new line of service can be added or
a data plan can be transferred from an existing account. Wireless broadband data plans are made
available from wireless carriers, such as Sprint and Verizon, and are required to allow your modem to
connect and transfer data on their network. You will need the ESN number from your product label on
your router to add or transfer a line of service. After adding a data plan to the modem, the modem may
need to be activated. To activate the modem, login to the IBR600 administration pages (see below) and
select Internet from the top navigation bar then Modem Settings from the drop-down menu, find and
select the CradlePoint modem and click Update/Activate, in the popup click Activate.
To add a broadband data plan, or to check if your modem has a broadband data plan attached, contact
the business you purchased the IBR600 from or your wireless service provider. For more information see
