Introduction to the Series
1.1 About Your WiMAX Device
The WiMAX Device allows you to access the Internet by connecting to a WiMAX wireless network.
For some models, you can use a traditional analog telephone to make Internet calls using the
WiMAX Device’s Voice over IP (VoIP) communication capabilities.
Additionally, The web browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), also known as the web
configurator, provides easy management of the device and its features.
Please refer to the following description of the product name format.
• Models starting with “2” (for example MAX208M2W) denote an indoor CPE device; models
starting with “3” (for example MAX318M2W) denote an outdoor CPE device.
• Models with the second number as “0” (for example MAX208M2W) denote that its frequency
band is 2.5GHz ~ 2.7GHz; models with the second number as “1” (for example MAX218M2W)
denote that its frequency band is 3.4GHz ~ 3.6GHz.
• The number after the letter “M” denote the number of VoIP ports that the device has. For
example, MAX208M2W has 2 VoIP ports; MAX218M has no VoIP port.
• Models ending with “W” (for example MAX20 8 M 2W) denote WiFi functionality, including 802.11n
mode.

1.1.1 WiMAX Internet Access
Connect your computer or network to the WiMAX Device for WiMAX Internet access. See the Quick
Start Guide for instructions on hardware connection.
In a wireless metropolitan area network (MAN), the WiMAX Device connects to a WiMAX base
station (BS) for Internet access.
The following diagram shows a notebook computer equipped with the WiMAX Device connecting to
the Internet through a WiMAX base station (marked BS).
Figure 1 Mobile Station and Base Station
When the firewall is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is blocked unless it is
initiated from your network.
Use content filtering to block access to web sites with URLs containing keywords that you sp ec ify.
You can define time periods and days during which content filtering is enabled and include or
exclude particular computers on your network from content filtering. For example, you could block
access to certain web sites for the kids.
1.1.2 Models with Phone Ports
For models with phone ports, you can use the WiMAX Device to make and receive Voice over
Internet Phone (VoIP) telephone calls:
• Calls via a VoIP service provider - The WiMAX Device sends your call to a VoIP service provider’s
SIP server which forwards your calls to either VoIP or PSTN phones.

1.1.3 Models with WiFi
LAN
WLAN
WAN
For WiFi models, IEEE 802.11b/g/n compliant clients can wirelessly connect to the WiMAX Device to
access network resources. You can set up a wireless network with WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) or
manually add a client to your wireless network.
Figure 3 WiFi Connection Application
Chapter 1 Introduction to the Series
1.2 Good Habits for Managing the WiMAX Device
Do the following things regularly to make the WiMAX Device more secure and to manage the
WiMAX Device more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different
types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier
working configuration may be useful if the WiMAX Device becomes unstable or even crashes. If
you forget your password, you will have to reset the WiMAX Device to its factory default settings.
If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the
WiMAX Device. You could simply restore your last configuration.

In the following figure, router R is connected to the WiMAX Device’s LAN. R connects to two
networks, N1 (192.168.1.x/24) and N2 (192.168.10.x/24). If you want to send traffic from
computer A (in N1 network) to computer B (in N2 network), the traffic is sent to the WiMAX
Device’s WAN default gateway by default. In this case, computer B will never receive the traffic.
You need to specify a static routing rule on the WiMAX Device to specify R as the router in charge of
forwarding traffic to N2. In this case, the WiMAX Device routes traffic from computer A to R and
then R routes the traffic to computer B.
This tutorial uses the following example IP settings:

6.1 Overview
This chapter shows you how to set up and manage the connection between the WiMAX Device and
your ISP’s base stations.
6.1.1 What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
WiMAX
WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is the IEEE 802.16 wireless networking
standard, which provides high-bandwidth, wide-range wireless service across wireless Metropolitan
Area Networks (MANs). ZyXEL is a member of the WiMAX Forum, the industry group dedicated to
promoting and certifying interoperability of wireless broadband products.
CHAPTER 6
WiMAX
In a wireless MAN, a wireless-equipped computer is known either as a mobile station (MS) or a
subscriber station (SS). Mobile stations use the IEEE 802.16e standard and are able to maintain
connectivity while switching their connection from one base station to another base station
(handover) while subscriber stations use other standards that do not have this capability (IEEE
802.16-2004, for example). The following figure shows an MS-equipped notebook computer MS1
moving from base station BS1’s coverage area and connecting to BS2.
Figure 22 WiMax: Mobile Station
WiMAX Device Configuration User’s Guide 67
Chapter 6 WiMAX
WiMAX technology uses radio signals (around 2 to 10 GHz) to connect subscriber stations and
mobile stations to local base stations. Numerous subscriber stations and mobile stations connect to
the network through a single base station (BS), as in the following figure.
Figure 23 WiMAX: Multiple Mobile Stations
A base station’s coverage area can extend over many hundreds of meters, even under poor
conditions. A base station provides network access to subscriber stations and mobile stations, and
communicates with other base stations.
The radio frequency and bandwidth of the link between the WiMAX Device and the base station are
controlled by the base station. The WiMAX Device follows the base station’s configuration.
Authentication
When authenticating a user, the base station uses a third-party RADIUS or Diameter server known
as an AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) server to authenticate the mobile or
subscriber stations.
The following figure shows a base station using an AAA server to authenticate mobile station MS,
allowing it to access the Internet.
Figure 24 Using an AAA Server
In this figure, the dashed arrow shows the PKM (Privacy Key Management) secured connection
between the mobile station and the base station, and the solid arrow shows the EAP secured
connection between the mobile station, the base station and the AAA server. See the WiMAX
security appendix for more details.

WiMAX Device Configuration User’s Guide
Chapter 6 WiMAX
Frequency Ranges
The following figure shows the WiMAX Device searching a range of frequencies to find a connection
to a base station.
Figure 25 Frequency Ranges
In this figure, A is the WiMAX frequency range. “WiMAX frequency r ange” refers to the entire range
of frequencies the WiMAX Device is capable of using to transmit and receive (see the Product
Specifications appendix for details).
In the figure, B shows the operator frequency range. This is the range of frequencies within the
WiMAX frequency range supported by your operator (service provider).
The operator range is subdivided into bandwidth steps. In the figure, each C is a bandwidth step.
The arrow D shows the WiMAX Device searching for a connection.
Have the WiMAX Device search only certain frequencies by configuring the downlink frequencies.
Your operator can give you information on the supported frequencies.
The downlink frequencies are points of the frequency range your WiMAX Device searches for an
available connection. Use the Site Survey screen to set these bands. You can set the downlink
frequencies anywhere within the WiMAX frequency range. In this example, the downlink
frequencies have been set to search all of the operator range for a connection.
Certification Authority
A Certification Authority (CA) issues certificates and guarantees the identity of each certificate
owner. There are commercial certification authorities like CyberTrust or VeriSign and government
certification authorities. You can use the WiMAX Device to generate certification requests that
contain identifying information and public keys and then send the certification requests to a
certification authority.
Certificate File Formats
The certification authority certificate that you want to import has to be in one of these file formats:
• Binary X.509: This is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for X.509 certificates.
• PEM (Base-64) encoded X.509: This Privacy Enhanced Mail format uses lowercase letters,
uppercase letters and numerals to convert a binary X.509 certificate into a printable form.
• Binary PKCS#7: This is a standard that defines the general syntax for data (including digital
signatures) that may be encrypted. The WiMAX Device currently allows the importation of a
PKS#7 file that contains a single certificate.
WiMAX Device Configuration User’s Guide
69
Chapter 6 WiMAX
• PEM (Base-64) encoded PKCS#7: This Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format uses 64 ASCII
CINR
Carrier to Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (CINR) measures the effectiveness of a wireless signal and
plays an important role in allowing the WiMAX Device to decode signal burst. If a burst has a high
signal strength and a high interference-plus-noise ratio, it can use Digital Signal Processing (DSP)
to decode it; if the signal strength is lower, it can switch to an alternate burst profile.
RSSI
Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) measures the relative strength of a given wireless signal.
This is important in determining if a signal is below the Clear- To-Send (CTS) threshold. If it is below
the arbitrarily specified threshold, then WiMAX Device is free to transmit any data packets.
EAP Authentication
EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an authentication protocol that runs on top of the IEEE
802.1x transport mechanism in order to support multiple types of user authentication. By using EAP
to interact with an EAP-compatible RADIUS server, an access point helps a wireless station and a
RADIUS server perform authentication.
characters to convert a binary PKCS#7 certificate into a printable form.
The WiMAX Device supports EAP-TLS and EAP-TTLS (at the time of writing, TTLS is not available in
Windows Vista). For EAP-TLS authentication type, you must first have a wired connection to the
network and obtain the certificate(s) from a certificate authority (CA). Certificates (also called
digital IDs) can be used to authenticate users and a CA issues certificates and guarantees the
identity of each certificate owner.

AES-ECB Select this to divide cryptographic keys into blocks and encrypt them separately.
EAP Mode Select an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) mode.
The WiMAX Device supports the following:
• EAP-TLS - In this protocol, digital certifications are needed by both the
server and the wireless clients for mutual authentication. The server presents
a certificate to the client. After validating the identity of the server , the client
sends a different certificate to the server. The exchange of certificates is done
in the open before a secured tunnel is created. This makes user identity
vulnerable to passive attacks. A digital certificate is an electronic ID card that
authenticates the sender’s identity. However, to implement EAP-TLS, you
need a Certificate Authority (CA) to han d le certificates, which imposes a
management overhead.
• EAP-TTLS - This protocol is an extension of the EAP-TLS authentication that
uses certificates for only the server -side authentication s to establish a secure
connection. Client authentication is then done by sending username and
password through the secure connection, thus client identity is protected. For
client authentication, EAP-TTLS supports EAP methods and legacy
authentication methods such as PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP v2.

6.5 Channel Plan Settings
This screen allows you to specify channel plan settings for Network Discovery and Selection
(ND&S). The WiMAX Device uses ND&S to establish connections when it is roaming. To do this, the
WiMAX Device will scan for base stations that are operated by Network Access Providers (NAP) that
have service agreements with the subscriber’s service provider (Home-Network Service Provider or

Home NSP). Through the NAP’s base station, which is identified by a NAP-ID, the subscriber’s
WiMAX Device can access the Internet through a network service provider (NSP). Access can be
through another network service provider (Visited-Network Service Provider or V-NSP) or his own
network service provider (Home NSP), depending on his service agreement.
In the following scenario, the subscriber’s WiMAX Device cannot reach a base station owned by his
Home NSP (base station with NAP-ID = 1). The WiMAX Device uses ND&S and is able to access
another base station with NAP-ID = 2. This base station is associated with another service provider
(V-NSP with NSP-ID = 20). The subscriber’s service agreement specifies to route traffic from the
other service provider to the Home NSP, so the Home NSP authenticates and authorizes the
connection.

The channel plan settings specify the allowed frequency range to search for a NAP. The channel plan

WiMAX Device Configuration User’s Guide
7.1 Overview
This chapter shows you how to configure the WiMAX Device’s network setting.
7.1.1 What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
IP Address
IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including
computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the
network. These networking devices are also known as hosts.
CHAPTER 7
Network Setting
Subnet Masks
Subnet masks determine the maximum number of possible hosts on a network. You can also use
subnet masks to divide one network into multiple sub-networks.
DHCP
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server can assign your WiMAX Device an IP address,
subnet mask, DNS and other routing information when it’s turned on.
DNS Server Address
DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and
vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP
address of a machine before you can access it. The DNS server addresses that you enter in the
DHCP setup are passed to the client machines along with the assigned IP address and subnet mask.
There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses. The first is for an ISP to
tell a customer the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when s/he
signs up. If your ISP gives you the DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields;
otherwise, leave them blank.
Some ISPs choose to pass the DNS servers using the DNS server extensions of PPP IPCP (IP Control
Protocol) after the connection is up. If your ISP did not give you explicit DNS servers, chances are
the DNS servers are conveyed through IPCP negotiation. The WiMAX Device supports the IPCP DNS
server extensions through the DNS proxy feature.
WiMAX Device Configuration User’s Guide 91
Chapter 7 Network Setting
If the Primary and Secondary DNS Server fields are not specified, for instance, left as 0.0.0.0,
the WiMAX Device tells the DHCP clients that it itself is the DNS server. When a computer sends a
DNS query to the WiMAX Device, the WiMAX Device forwards the query to the real DNS server
learned through IPCP and relays the response back to the computer.
Please note that DNS proxy works only when the ISP uses the IPCP DNS server extensions. It does
not mean you can leave the DNS servers out of the DHCP setup under all circumstances. If your ISP
gives you explicit DNS servers, make sure that you enter their IP addresses. This way, the WiMAX
Device can pass the DNS servers to the computers and the computers can query the DNS server
directly without the WiMAX Device’s intervention.
RIP Setup
RIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other
routers. The RIP Direction field controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets. When set to:
• RX/TX - the WiMAX Device will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the RIP
information that it receives.
• RX Only - the WiMAX Device will not send any RIP packets but will accept all RIP packets
received.
• TX Only - the WiMAX Device will send out RIP packets but will not accept any RIP packets
received.
• None - the WiMAX Device will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.
The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the
WiMAX Device sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-1 is universally supported;
but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have
an unusual network topology.
Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that RIP-2B
uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting.
Port Forwarding
A NAT server set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that
you can make accessible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network
appear as a single machine to the outside world.
With port forwarding, you can forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local
network. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the
local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web
service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one
server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be
better to specify a range of port numbers.
In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A service request
that does not have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default s erver. If the
default is not defined, the service request is simply discarded.
92
For example, let's say you want to assign ports 21-25 to one FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (A in the
example), port 80 to another (B in the example) and assign a default server IP address of
WiMAX Device Configuration User’s Guide
Chapter 7 Network Setting
192.168.1.35 to a third (C in the example). You assign the LAN IP addresses and the ISP assigns
the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet.
Figure 42 Multiple Servers Behind NAT Example
Trigger Ports
Some services use a dedicated range of ports on the client side and a dedicated range of ports on
the server side. With regular port forwarding you set a forwarding port in NAT to forward a service
(coming in from the server on the WAN) to the IP address of a computer on the client side (LAN).
The problem is that port forwarding only forwards a service to a single LAN IP address. In order to
use the same service on a different LAN computer, you have to manually replace the LAN
computer's IP address in the forwarding port with another LAN computer's IP address,
Trigger port forwarding solves this problem by allowing computers on the LAN to dynamically take
turns using the service. The WiMAX Device records the IP address of a LAN computer that sends
traffic to the WAN to request a service with a specific port number and protocol (a "trigger" port).
When the WiMAX Device's WAN port receives a response with a specific port number and protocol
("incoming" port), the WiMAX Device forwards the traffic to the LAN IP address of the computer
that sent the request. After that computer’s connection for that service closes, another compu ter on
the LAN can use the service in the same manner. This way you do not need to configure a new IP
address each time you want a different LAN computer to use the application.
ALG
Some applications, such as SIP, cannot operate through NAT (are NAT un-friendly) because they
embed IP addresses and port numbers in their packets’ data payload. Some NAT routers may
include a SIP Application Layer Gateway (ALG). An Application Layer Gateway (ALG) manages a
specific protocol (such as SIP, H.323 or FTP) at the application layer.
A SIP ALG allows SIP calls to pass through NAT by examining and translating IP addresses
embedded in the data stream.
UPnP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for
simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A UPnP device can dynamically join a
network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network.
In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.
How do I know if I'm using UPnP?
WiMAX Device Configuration User’s Guide
93
Chapter 7 Network Setting
UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (Windows XP). Each UPnP
compatible device installed on your network will appear as a separate icon. Selecting the icon of a
UPnP device will allow you to access the information and properties of that device.
NAT Traversal
UPnP NAT traversal automates the process of allowing an application to operate through NA T. UPnP
network devices can automatically configure network addressing, announce their presence in the
network to other UPnP devices and enable exchange of simple product and service descriptions.
NAT tr a versal allows the following:
• Dynamic port mapping
• Learning public IP addresses
• Assigning lease times to mappings
Windows Messenger is an example of an application that supports NAT traversal and UPnP.
Cautions with UPnP
The automated nature of NAT traversal applications in establishing their own services and opening
firewall ports may present network security issues. Network information and configur ation may also
be obtained and modified by users in some network environments.
All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration.
Disable UPnP if this is not your intention.
UPnP and ZyXEL
ZyXEL has received UPnP certification from the official UPnP Forum (http://www .upnp.org). Z yXEL 's
UPnP implementation supports IGD 1.0 (Internet Gateway Device).
The WiMAX Device only sends UPnP multicasts to the LAN.
Content Filter
Internet content filtering allows you to create and enforce Internet access policies tailored to their
needs. Content filtering is the ability to block certain specific URL keywords.

provider.

Enter a MAC address here for registering bridged devices on the network if their
current MAC addresses are causing problems. For example, this can happen
when a desktop computer swaps network interface cards; the original NIC may
have used its MAC address to register itself on the network and now the new NIC
is unrecognized. Using a MAC address that you know is valid, i.e. a “ clone”,
allows that device to stay registered.
