User manual

CRADLEPOINT MBR1400 | USER MANUAL – Firmware version 4.2

Routing Mode: (Default: NAT.) Each network can use a unique routing mode to connect to the Internet and other local

networks. NAT is desirable for most configurations. Select from the following options in the dropdown list:

• NAT (default): 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 with options to require 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 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).
