CHAPTER 1

Getting Started

1.1 About Your WiMAX Device

The WiMAX Device 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. The browser-based user interface -- the Web Configurator -can be used to easily manage the device.

See Chapter 11 on page 145 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

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 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.

LEDs 1, 2 onRSSI: -70~-79 dBm

LED 1 onRSSI: -80~-89 dBm

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 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.

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).

See the Appendix C on page 183 for more information on configuring your web browser.

2.1.1 Accessing the Web Configurator

1 Make sure your WiMAX Device hardware is properly connected (refer to the Quick

Start Guide for more information).

2 Launch your web browser.

Note: For security reasons, the WiMAX Device automatically logs you out if you do

not use the Web Configurator for five minutes. If this happens, log in again.

2.1.2 The Reset Button

If you forget your password or cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the Reset button to reload the factory-default configuration file. This

MAX208M User s Guide

means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to the default (see the cover page).

2.1.2.1 Using The Reset Button

1 Make sure the Power light is on (not blinking).

2 To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the Reset button for

five seconds or until all LED lights blink one time, then release it. The device restarts when the defaults have been restored.

3 Reconfigure the WiMAX Device following the steps in your Quick Start Guide.

2.1.3 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.

WiMAX

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.

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 12 WiMax: Mobile Station

MAX208M User s Guide

Chapter 6WiMAX

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 13 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 14 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.

MAX208M User s Guide

Chapter 6WiMAX

Frequency Ranges

The following figure shows the WiMAX Device searching a range of frequencies to find a connection to a base station.

Figure 15 Frequency Ranges

In this figure, A is the WiMAX frequency range. "WiMAX frequency range# 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.

MAX208M User s Guide

Chapter 6WiMAX

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.

! PEM (Base-64) encoded PKCS#7: This Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format uses

64 ASCII characters to convert a binary PKCS#7 certificate into a printable form.

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 burts. If a burst has a high signal strength and a high interferenceplus-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.

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.

separately.

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 handle 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 authentications 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.

! MD5 - Message-Digest, algorithm 5, (MD5) encryption is typically

used for checking file integrity. Because this encryption protocol contains a number of serious security flaws it is generally not recommended that you use it for authentication security.

Network Settings

7.1 Overview

This chapter shows you how to configure the WiMAX Device s network settings.

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.

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.

MAX208M User s Guide

Chapter 7Network Settings

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.

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.

MAX208M User s Guide

Chapter 7Network Settings

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 server. If the default is not defined, the service request is simply discarded.

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 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 26 Multiple Servers Behind NAT Example

MAX208M User s Guide

Chapter 7Network Settings

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 computer 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?

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.

MAX208M User s Guide

Chapter 7Network Settings

NAT Traversal

UPnP NAT traversal automates the process of allowing an application to operate through NAT. 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 traversal 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 configuration 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). ZyXEL's UPnP implementation supports IGD 1.0 (Internet Gateway Device).

The WiMAX Device only sends UPnP multicasts to the LAN.

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.

Chapter 7Network Settings

Figure 39 Trigger Port Forwarding Example

1 Jane requests a file from the Real Audio server (port 7070).

2 Port 7070 is a "trigger# port and causes the WiMAX Device to record Jane s

computer IP address. The WiMAX Device associates Jane's computer IP address with the "incoming" port range of 6970-7170.

3 The Real Audio server responds using a port number ranging between 6970-7170.

4 The WiMAX Device forwards the traffic to Jane s computer IP address.

MAX208M User s Guide

Chapter 7Network Settings

5 Only Jane can connect to the Real Audio server until the connection is closed or

times out. The WiMAX Device times out in three minutes with UDP (User Datagram Protocol), or two hours with TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol).

Two points to remember about trigger ports:

1 Trigger events only happen on data that is coming from inside the WiMAX Device

and going to the outside.

2 If an application needs a continuous data stream, that port (range) will be tied up

so that another computer on the LAN can t trigger it.
