CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 6.2 DHCP Server DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The built-in DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses to the computers and other devices on each local area network (LAN). In this section you can view a list of assigned IP addresses and reserve IP addresses for particular devices. Active Leases: A list of devices that have been provided DHCP leases. The DHCP server automatically assigns these leases.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 6.3 DNS DNS, or Domain Name System, is a naming system that translates between domain names (www.cradlepoint.com, for example) and Internet IP addresses (206.207.82.197). A DNS server acts as an Internet phone book, translating between names that make sense to people and the more complex numerical identifiers.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 Force All DNS Requests To Router: Enabling this will redirect all DNS requests from LAN clients to the router's DNS server. This will allow the router even more control over IP addresses even when clients have their own DNS servers statically set. 6.3.2 Dynamic DNS Configuration The Dynamic DNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, etc.) using a domain name that you have purchased (www.yourname.com) with your dynamically assigned IP address.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 User name: Enter the user name or key provided by the Dynamic DNS service provider. If the Dynamic DNS provider supplies only a key, enter that key for both the User name and Password fields. Password: Enter the password or key provided by the Dynamic DNS service provider. 6.3.3 Advanced Dynamic DNS Settings Update period (hours). (Default: 576) The time between periodic updates to the Dynamic DNS, if your dynamic IP address has not changed.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 6.4 Firewall The router automatically provides a firewall. Unless you configure the router to the contrary, the router does not respond to unsolicited incoming requests on any port, thereby making your LAN invisible to cyber attackers. However, some network applications cannot run with a tight firewall. Those applications need to selectively open ports in the firewall to function correctly.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 Local Port(s): The port number(s) that corresponds to the service (Web server, FTP, etc) on a local computer or device. For example, you might input ―80‖ in the Local Port(s) field to open a port for a Web server on a computer within your network. The Internet Port(s) field could then also be 80, or you could choose another port number that will be used across the Internet to access your Web server.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 6.4.2 IP Filter Rules (Advanced) An "Incoming" IP filter rule restricts remote access to computers on your local network. "Outgoing" filter rules prevent computers on your local network from initiating communication to the address range specified in the rule. This feature is especially useful when combined with port forwarding and/or DMZ to restrict remote access to a specified host or network range.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 If you leave these values blank, then all IP addresses and ports will be included. IP Source and IP Destination options can be used to differentiate between the directions that packets go. You could permit packets to come from particular IP addresses but then not allow packets to return to those addresses. Example of an IP Filter Rule: Suppose you have opened a port in your firewall in order to run a server.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 6.4.3 DMZ: DeMilitarized Zone (Advanced) A DMZ host is effectively not firewalled in the sense that any computer on the Internet may attempt to remotely access network services at the DMZ IP address. Typical uses involve running a public Web server or sharing files. Input the IP Address of a single device in your network to create a DeMilitarized Zone for that device.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 6.5 MAC Filter The MAC Filter allows you to create a list of devices that have either exclusive access (whitelist) or no access (blacklist) to your wireless LAN. Enabled: Click to allow MAC Filter options. Whitelist: Select either ―Whitelist‖ or ―Blacklist‖ from a dropdown menu. In "Whitelist" mode, the router will restrict WiFi access to all computers except those contained in the "MAC Filter List" panel.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 6.6 Routing Add a new static route to the IP routing table or edit/remove an existing route. Static routes are unnecessary for most users. They are typically only used in networks with more than one layer, such as when there is a network within a network so that packet destinations are hidden behind an additional router.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 6.7 WiFi / Local Networks This section is used to configure the settings for wireless networks created by your router. Note that changes made in this section may also need to be duplicated on wireless devices that you want to connect to your wireless network. For example, if you change a LAN‘s IP address, devices within that network will lose connection. They will have to reconnect to the network. Firmware 3.3.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 6.7.1 Local IP Networks Local IP Networks displays the following information for each network: Network Name IP address/Netmask DHCP Server (Enabled/Disabled) Routing Mode (NAT, Standard, Hotspot, Disabled) Access Control (Admin Access, UPnP Gateway, LAN Isolation) Attached Interfaces (Ethernet ports, WiFi, VLAN) Click Add to configure a new network, or select an existing network and click Edit to view configuration options.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 6.7.2 Local Network Editor The Local Network Editor contains the following tabs: IP Settings, Interfaces, Access Control, and DHCP Server. IP Settings: Name: This primarily helps to identify this network during other administration tasks. Hostname: [Default: cp (for CradlePoint)] The hostname is the DNS name associated with the router's local area network IP address.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 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.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 Access Control: Tune the access control settings of this network to match the intended use. Simply select or deselect any of the following: LAN Isolation: When checked, this network will NOT be allowed to communicate with other local networks. UPnP Gateway: Select the UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) option if you want to enable the UPnP Gateway service for computers on this network.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 DHCP Server: Changing settings for the DHCP server is optional. The default selections are almost always sufficient. DHCP Server: (Default: Enabled) When the DHCP server is enabled, users of your network will be able to automatically connect to the Internet without any special configuration. It is recommended that you leave this enabled.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 DHCP Options: Input a custom DHCP option by first clicking ―Add‖. There are close to 200 possible DHCP options available.

CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 Initiation Mode: ―Always On” or ―On Demand.‖ ―Always On‖ is used if you want the tunnel to initiate the tunnel connection whenever the WAN becomes available. Select On Demand if you want the tunnel to initiate a connection if and only if there is data traffic bound for the remote side of the tunnel. Tunnel Enabled: Enabled or Disabled.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 7.4.3 Page 3: IKE Phase 1 IKE security has two phases, Phase 1 and Phase 2. You have the ability to distinctly configure each phase, but the default settings will be sufficient for most users. To set up a tunnel with a remote site, you need to match your tunnel's IKE negotiation parameters with the remote site. By selecting several encryption, hash, and DH group options, you improve your chances for a successful tunnel negotiation.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 Encryption: Used to encrypt messages sent and received by IPsec. o AES 128 o AES 256 o Blowfish o CAST o DES o 3DES Hash: Used to compare, authenticate, and validate that data across the VPN arrives in its intended form and to derive keys used by IPsec. o MD5 o SHA1 o SHA2 256 o SHA2 384 o SHA2 512 DH Groups: The DH (Diffie-Hellman) Group is a property of IKE and is used to determine the length of prime numbers associated with key generation.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 7.4.4 Page 4: IKE Phase 2 Perfect Forward Secrecy (PFS): Enabling this feature will require IKE to generate a new set of keys in Phase 2 rather than using the same key generated in Phase 1. Additionally, the new keys generated in Phase 2 (with this option enabled) are exchanged in an encrypted session. Enabling this feature affords the policy greater security.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 7.4.5 Page 5: Dead Peer Detection Dead Peer Detection (DPD) defines how the router will detect when one end of the IPsec session loses connection while a policy is in use. Connection Idle Time allows you to configure how long the router will allow an IPsec session to be idle before beginning to send Dead Peer Detection (DPD) packets to the peer machine.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 7.4.6 Page 6: Tunnel Summary The final page of the tunnel configuration interface is a summary of the tunnel specifications. This is especially helpful for matching this information with the router (or similar device) at the other end of the tunnel.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 7.4.7 Global VPN Settings These settings apply to all configured VPN tunnels. Changing the Global VPN Settings is rarely necessary; the default values are almost always sufficient. IKE / ISAKMP Port: Internet Key Exchange / Internet Security Association and Key Management Protocol port. Default: 500. This is a standard VPN port that usually does not need to be changed.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 7.4.8 VPN with NAT-T If one side of a planned VPN tunnel is behind a NAT (network address translation) firewall, the setup of your tunnel requires the following specifications: 1. Each side of the tunnel must use both a Local Identity and a Remote Identity. These must match the identities on the other side: The Local Identity must match the Remote Identity on the other side of the tunnel, and vice versa.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 7.5 WiFi as WAN / Bridge WiFi as WAN uses another WiFi network as its Internet source and then rebroadcasts its own local network. For example, the MBR1400 can create a private LAN using the public WiFi from a hotel as its WAN. WiFi Bridge functions similarly, but it rebroadcasts the original network. In other words, the router passes on the same settings and addresses already set up by the original NAT.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 7.5.1 WiFi Bridge When in WiFi Bridge mode with a configured profile, a WiFi Bridge device will be added to the local network interfaces, providing a way to bridge two LANs over a WiFi connection. For example, two separate CradlePoint routers linked through WiFi Bridge mode allows you to have one WiFi-connected network in two separated sections of a large office building.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 7.5.2 Saved Profiles This is a list of WiFi networks that have already been configured as WAN sources (or Bridge profiles). The router will attempt to connect to any of these access points using the password you have configured. If more than one access point is in range, then the router will connect with the highest priority network. Network: The name (SSID, or Service Set Identifier) that is broadcast by the access point.
CRADLEPOINT MBR1400| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.4.1 Click ―Refresh‖ if a WiFi network to which you want to connect is invisible.
