Template Configuration

Templates

allow you to control multiple

WAN devices with the same rule. Each WAN

device that matches a template will

automatically have its own rule created.

For example, you can set a template rule for all mobile data modems that causes your router to send an alert after 1000 MB of usage in a month.

When you attach a new 4G USB modem, your template will immediately create a new

Data Usage Rule

for the attached modem that sends the

alert as specified.

Click

Add

to configure a new Template rule.

Create a

Template Name

that you can recognize.

The template will apply to one of the following

WAN types

:



All WAN



All Ethernet



All Modems

Select one of these types.

The rest of the rule settings options match those in

the

Data Usage Rules

. See the section above for

additional information about how to configure your

template usage rules.

Historical Data

Historical Data shows a graph of data usage for

each attached WAN source that has an assigned

Data Usage Rule. The graph shows the usage trend

for one day.

Click

Add Usage

to manually input additional usage

for an attached data source. You might do this if you

used your modem while not attached to your router

and you want to keep an accurate count of your

data usage.

Enter the date of usage by using the pop-up

calendar. Then enter the total data in MB

—

both in

and out

—

to update the usage amounts.

WiFi as WAN (Advanced Mode only)

When WiFi as WAN is enabled and configured the router will use a remote WiFi access point for Internet connectivity. In

other words, external WiFi

—

from a hotel for example

—

can be used as the Internet source for your own private network.

When enabled in the WiFi as WAN Settings page, the MBR95 will find possible WiFi sources that you can select and add.

Unless the WiFi source is on an unprotected network, you will need to know the password or key.

All CradlePoint routers and some other routers use the same default IP address, 192.168.0.1. If you attempt to set up

WiFi as

WAN and there is an “IP conflict,” you need to change the IP address. The router is attempting to use the same IP

address for both WAN and LAN, which is impossible. Go to

Network Settings → Local Network

. In the

“

LAN Settings

”

section you can change the IP address. For example, you might change 192.168.

0

.1 to 192.168.

1

.1.

Saved Profiles:

This is a list of WiFi networks that have already

been configured as WAN sources. 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.

7.3.1

Site Survey

This is a list of WiFi networks that the router can

currently find, along with information about the

network such as its mode and channel. If you

click on a network in the

Site Survey

, you can

import it as a saved profile. You can sort the list

based on any of the fields by clicking on the field

name.

if a WiFi network to which you want to connect is invisible.

Network Name (SSID):

The name that is broadcast from each access point.

Network ID (BSSID):

The numeric ID of the network. This parameter is required when trying to connect to a hidden

network using WiFi as WAN. It is optional when connecting to a visible network.

Auth Mode:

The type of encryption that is used by the network.



None



WEP Auto



WEP Open



WEP Shared



WPA1 Personal



WPA2 Personal



WPA1 & WPA2 Personal

Channel:

The channel the network is using.

7.3.2

Profile Editor

You have the option to manually add network profiles, but it is

usually much easier to import them from

Site Survey

. Either

click on

Add

under “

Saved Profiles

” or select a WiFi network

in “

Site Survey

” and click

Import

.

If you import a network from

Site Survey

, most of the

information about the network will already be completed. You

need to input the password (if there is one) and then click

submit to save the WiFi as WAN profile.
