Before You Begin

Read the following before setting up and installing the AER1600 Series router.

NOTE: Cradlepoint recommends that all branch endpoints be installed by a professional. For assistance with installation or in locating a professional installer,

contact Cradlepoint Sales and Support (https://cradlepoint.com/support/).

Location Considerations

To ensure the AER1600 operates efficiently, do the following:

Ensure the device is positioned to receive optimal signal. Avoid positioning near concrete walls, metal or reflective surfaces, or any other objects that may

interfere with RF reception.

Ensure plenty of ventilation. Avoid installing the device in enclosed spaces.

Do not install the device in direct exposure to the elements. Extreme heat or cold can and will impact the router's performance.

Refer to the AER1600 Series Safety, Regulatory, and Warranty Guide (included with your hardware) for more information about location considerations.

Wi-Fi Capability

The AER1650, AER1650LPE, and the AER1650LP4 do not support Wi-Fi.

SIM Setup for Connectivity

For enhanced function of the AER1600 Series Micro-Branch Router, you will need at least one activated 2FF-sized SIM card with active cellular data plan.

SIMs with wireless broadband data plans are available from wireless carriers such as AT&T, Verizon, and T-Mobile. The SIM must be provisioned by the

carrier. Contact your carrier for detail about selecting a data plan and about the process for provisioning your SIM.

Installing an Optional External (Modular) Modem

The AER1600 includes a slot for an additional MC400 modem. This enhanced capability allows for redundancy, advanced configuration, failover, and

upgradability. The AER1600 supports both the MC400-600M or the MC400-1200M. Refer to the following for more information:
