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.
CHAPTER 1
See the following table for the main features for each specific model:
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.

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.

Introduction to the Web Configurator
2.1 Overview
The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy device set up and
management via any web browser that supports: HTML 4.0, CSS 2.0, and JavaScript 1.5, and
higher. The recommended screen resolution for using the web configurator is 1024 by 768 pixels
and 16-bit color, or higher.
In order to use the Web Configurator you need to allow:
• Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in
many operating systems and web browsers.
• JavaScript (enabled by default in most web browsers).
• Java permissions (enabled by default in most web browsers).
CHAPTER 2
See the Appendix C on page 233 for more information on configuring your web browser.
2.1.1 Accessing the Web Configurator
1Make sure your WiMAX Device hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick Start Guide for
more information).

use the Web Configurator for five minutes. If this happens, log in again.
2.1.2 Saving and Canceling Changes
All screens to which you can make configuration changes must be saved before those changes can
go into effect. If you make a mistake while configuring the WiMAX Device, you can cancel those
changes and start over.
