Captive Modem is the ability to connect an Ericsson Cradlepoint 5G or 4G LTE adapter to an Ericsson Cradlepoint router and manage them from NetCloud Manager as a single entity. Additionally, it allows for the modem in the adapter to appear as embedded in the connected router, enabling the administrator to complete all modem configuration and diagnostics through the router's configuration in NetCloud Manager. Captive Modem shares all the same wireless WAN functionality as embedded modems, such as Smart WAN Selection, WAN Verify, failover/failback, and Connection Set load balancing.
Important
If a modem was originally designated and sold as a Captive Modem, it cannot be converted or licensed as a standalone device.
