User manual

CRADLEPOINT COR | USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 4.2.0

• NAT: Network Address Translation hides private IP addresses behind the router's IP address. This is the simplest

and most common choice for users, because NAT does the translation work for you.

• Standard: NAT-less routing. If you select Standard, you must separately configure your IP addresses so that they

will be publically accessible. Typically you will not select this option unless you have a specific reason to bypass

NAT.

• IP Passthrough: IP Passthrough passes the IP address given by a cellular modem (WAN) through the router to

Ethernet (LAN). All Ethernet ports must be in LAN mode (or disabled) and Hotspot, VPN, and GRE must be

disabled. Any wireless interfaces must be removed from this network in order to enable IP Passthrough. The

easiest way to enable IP Passthrough mode is with the IP Passthrough Setup Wizard (see Getting Started → IP

Passthrough Setup).

• Hotspot: Provide Hotspot Services on this network, requiring Terms of Service or RADIUS/UAM authentication

before WAN access will occur on both wireless and wired LAN connections. To enable a Hotspot you must also

configure your Hotspot settings under System Settings → Hotspot Services.

• Disabled: Disable this network.

Interfaces:

Select network interfaces to attach to this network.

Choose from WiFi, Ethernet ports, and VLAN interfaces.

Double-click on any of the interfaces shown on the left in

the Available section to move them to the Selected

section on the right (or highlight an interface and click the

“+” button). To deselect an interface, double-click on an

interface in the Selected section (or highlight the interface

and click the “–“ button).

If you want more interface options, you must configure

additional WiFi, Ethernet ports, and VLAN interfaces

separately. See the Local Network Interfaces section

below (on this same administration page: Network

Settings → WiFi / Local Networks).
