Safety Warnings
• Make sure that the cable system is grounded so as to provide some protection
against voltage surges.
Your product is marked with this symbol, which is known as the WEEE mark.
WEEE stands for Waste Electronics and Electrical Equipment. It means that
used electrical and electronic products should not be mixed with general
waste. Used electrical and electronic equipment should be treated
separately.
The WiMAX Device has a built-in switch that allows you to access the Internet by
connecting to a WiMAX wireless network. You can configure firewall and content
filtering as well as a host of other features and the browser-based user interface -
- the Web Configurator -- provides easy management.
See Chapter 14 on page 191 for a complete list of features for your model.
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 connections.
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 (BS).
Figure 1 Mobile Station and Base Station
BS
When the firewall is on, all inc o m ing 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 specify. 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.

1.3 Good Habits for Device Management
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 yo ur 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.
