Captive Modem mode allows Ericsson Cradlepoint 5G and LTE adapters to connect with Ericsson Cradlepoint routers in separate physical locations while allowing the devices to perform and be managed by NetCloud as a single entity.
In some instances, Ericsson Cradlepoint 5G and LTE adapters may need to be placed in an optimal indoor or outdoor location to receive the best cellular signal. Captive Modem mode allows Ericsson Cradlepoint 5G and LTE adapters to connect with Ericsson Cradlepoint routers in separate physical locations while allowing the devices to perform and be managed by NetCloud as a single entity. An Ericsson Cradlepoint router acts as the controller to the distinct Captive Modem adapter accessory for the deployment, management, and reduced licensing costs to take effect.
In Captive Modem mode, the Ericsson Cradlepoint adapter accessory is seen in NetCloud as a modem WAN interface that shares all the same Wireless WAN functionality as embedded modems such as Smart WAN Selection, WAN Verify, and failover/failback.
