Operation Manual

Accessing the Administration Pages
Once you are connected, open the Cradlepoint AER3100’s GUI-based administration pages to make configuration
changes to your router.
1. Open a browser window and type “cp/” or “192.168.0.1” in the address bar. Press ENTER/RETURN.
2. When prompted for your password, type the eight character DEFAULT PASSWORD found on the product label.
It's possible – and more efficient – to do all your configuration changes through Cradlepoint Enterprise Cloud Manager
(ECM) without logging into the local administration pages. Set up a group of routers and set the configuration for all of
them at once. See below for more information about ECM.
Using Enterprise Cloud Manager
Rapidly deploy and dynamically manage networks at geographically distributed stores and branch locations with
Enterprise Cloud Manager, Cradlepoint’s network management and application platform. Enterprise Cloud Manager
(ECM) integrates cloud management with your Cradlepoint devices to improve productivity, increase reliability, reduce
costs, and enhance the intelligence of your network and business operations.

Depending on your ordering process, your devices may have already been bulk-loaded into ECM. If so, simply log in at
cradlepointecm.com using your ECM credentials and begin managing your devices seamlessly from the cloud.
If your device has not yet been loaded into your ECM account, you need to register. Log into the device administration
pages and go to Getting Started → Enterprise Cloud Manager Registration. Enter your ECM username and
password, and click on “Register”.
Once you have registered your device, go to cradlepointecm.com and log in using your ECM credentials.
