1.1 Overview
This product is a WiMAX subscriber station system comprised of an outdoor unit
(ODU) and an indoor unit (IDU). The ODU connects to the WiMAX network while
the IDU is the management point between the WiMAX network (via the ODU) and
your computer/local area network. The IDU can also function as a Wi-Fi access
point to the WiMAX network.
Note: This User’s Guide is concerned strictly with the IDU, hereafter referred to as the
“WiMAX Device”. In the following figures both the IDU and ODU may be shown,
but all configuration options are for the IDU alone.

1.3 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 your passwords regularly. Use passwords that are not easy to guess
and that consist of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down your passwords but be sure to put them in a safe, secure place.
Never store them in proximity to your computer or WiMAX Device.
• 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.

wireless encryption methods, it is the most compatible
with older wireless devices. Select this option if you
require the widest range of compatibility.
• Extend (WPA-PSK with customized key) - This
provides both improved data encryption and user

The Setup Screens
5.1 Overview
Use these screens to configure or view LAN, DHCP Client and WAN settings.
5.1.1 What You Can Do in This Chapter
• The Set IP Address screen (Section 5.2 on page 68) lets you configure the
WiMAX Device’s IP address and subnet mask.
• The DHCP Client screen (Section 5.3 on page 69) lets you view a list of all
connected DHCP clients.
• The Time Setting screen (Section 5.4 on page 70) lets you configure your
WiMAX Device’s time and date keeping settings.
5.1.2 What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
LAN
A Local Area Network, or a shared communication system to which many
computers are attached. A LAN, as its name implies, is limited to a local area such
as a home or office environment. LANs have different topologies, the most
common being the linear bus and the star configuration.
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 Mask
Company Confidential
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your
device will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP Address that
User’s Guide
67
Chapter 5The Setup Screens
you entered. You do not need to change the computer subnet mask unless you are
instructed to do so.
Daytime
A network protocol used by devices for debugging and time measurement. A
computer can use this protocol to set its internal clock but only if it knows in which
order the year, month, and day are returned by the server. Not all servers use the
same format.
Time
A network protocol for retrieving the current time from a server. The computer
issuing the command compares the time on its clock to the information returned
by the server, adjusts itself automatically for time zone differences, then
calculates the difference and corrects itself if there has been any temporal drift.
NTP
NTP stands for Network Time Protocol. It is employed by devices connected to the
Internet in order to obtain a precise time setting from an official time server.
These time servers are accurate to within 200 microseconds.
5.1.3 Before You Begin
• Make sure that you have made all the appropriate hardware connections to the
WiMAX Device, as described in the Quick Start Guide.
• Make sure that you have logged in to the web configurator at least one time and
changed your password from the default, as described in the Quick Start Guide.
5.2 Set IP Address
Click the SETUP icon in the navigation bar to set up the WiMAX Device’s IP
address and subnet mask. This screen displays this screen by default. If you are in

5.4.1 Pre-Defined NTP Time Servers List
The WiMAX Device uses a pre-defined list of NTP time servers if you do not specify
a time server or it cannot synchronize with the time server you specified. It can
use this list regardless of the time protocol you select.
When the WiMAX Device uses the list, it randomly selects one server and tries to
synchronize with it. If the synchronization fails, then it goes through the rest of
the list in order until either it is successful or all the pre-defined NTP time servers
have been tried.

The LAN Configuration Screens
6.1 Overview
Use the ADVANCED > LAN Configuration screens to set up the WiMAX Device
on the LAN. You can configure its IP address and subnet mask, DHCP services,
and other subnets. You can also control how the WiMAX Device sends routing
information using RIP.
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many
computers are attached. A LAN is usually a computer network limited to the
immediate area, such as the same building or floor of a building.
6.1.1 What You Can Do in This Chapter
• The DHCP Setup screen (Section 6.2 on page 76 ) lets you enable, disable, and
configure the DHCP server in the WiMAX Device.
• The Static DHCP screen (Section 6.3 on page 78) lets you assign specific IP
addresses to specific computers on the LAN.
• The IP Alias screen (Section 6.4 on page 79) lets you add subnets on the LAN
port. You can also control what routing information is sent and received by each
subnet.
• The IP Static Route screen (Section 6.5 on page 81) lets you examine the
static routes configured in the WiMAX Device.
• The Other Settings screen (Section 6.6 on page 83) lets you control the
routing information that is sent and received by each subnet assign specific IP
addresses to specific computers on the LAN.

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.
DNS
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 networking device before you can
access it.
DHCP
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server can assign a device an IP
address, subnet mask, DNS and other routing information when it’s turned on.

6.7 Technical Reference
The following section contains additional technical information about the WiMAX
Device features described in this chapter.
6.7.1 IP Address and Subnet Mask
Similar to the way houses on a street share a common street name, computers on
a LAN share one common network number.
Where you obtain your network number depends on your particular situation. If
the ISP or your network administrator assigns you a block of registered IP
addresses, follow their instructions in selecting the IP addresses and the subnet
mask.
If the ISP did not explicitly give you an IP network number, then most likely you
have a single user account and the ISP will assign you a dynamic IP address when
the connection is established. If this is the case, it is recommended that you select
a network number from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.0 and you must enable the
Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the WiMAX Device. The Internet
Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses specifically for
private use; please do not use any other number unless you are told otherwise.
Let's say you select 192.168.1.0 as the network number; which covers 254
Company Confidential
individual addresses, from 192.168.100.1 to 192.168.1.254 (zero and 255 are
reserved). In other words, the first three numbers specify the network number
while the last number identifies an individual computer on that network.
84
User’s Guide
Once you have decided on the network number, pick an IP address that is easy to
remember, for instance, 192.168.100.1, for your WiMAX Device, but make sure
that no other device on your network is using that IP address.
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your
WiMAX Device will compute the subnet mask automatically based on the IP
address that you entered. You don't need to change the subnet mask computed
by the WiMAX Device unless you are instructed to do otherwise.
6.7.2 DHCP Setup
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows
individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can
configure the WiMAX Device as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a
server, the WiMAX Device provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If
DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or
else each computer must be manually configured.
The WiMAX Device is pre-configured with a pool of IP addresses for the DHCP
clients (DHCP Pool). See the product specifications in the appendices. Do not
assign static IP addresses from the DHCP pool to your LAN computers.
Chapter 6The LAN Configuration Screens
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives
you explicit DNS server address(es), see Section 6.3 on page 78.
6.7.3 LAN TCP/IP
The WiMAX Device has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses
and DNS servers to systems that support DHCP client capability.
The LAN parameters of the WiMAX Device are preset in the factory with the
following values:
• IP address of 192.168.100.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits)
• DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.1.33.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives
you explicit DNS server address(es), see Section 6.3 on page 78.
Company Confidential
User’s Guide
85
Chapter 6The LAN Configuration Screens
6.7.4 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 in DHCP Setup, 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 in the LAN Setup screen are
notspecified, 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 in the LAN Setup screen. 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.
6.7.5 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:
• Both - the WiMAX Device will broadcast its routing table periodically and
incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
• In Only - the WiMAX Device will not send any RIP packets but will accept all RIP
packets received.
Company Confidential
86
• Out Only - the WiMAX Device will send out RIP packets but will not accept any
RIP packets received.
User’s Guide
• 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.
6.7.6 Multicast
Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1
sender - 1 recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network).
Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the network - not everybody
and not just 1.
IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to
establish membership in a Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. IGMP
version 2 (RFC 2236) is an improvement over version 1 (RFC 1112) but IGMP
version 1 is still in wide use. If you would like to read more detailed information
about interoperability between IGMP version 2 and version 1, please see sections
4 and 5 of RFC 2236. The class D IP address is used to identify host groups and
can be in the range 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. The address 224.0.0.0 is not
assigned to any group and is used by IP multicast computers. The address
224.0.0.1 is used for query messages and is assigned to the permanent group of
all IP hosts (including gateways). All hosts must join the 224.0.0.1 group in order
to participate in IGMP. The address 224.0.0.2 is assigned to the multicast routers
group.
Chapter 6The LAN Configuration Screens
The WiMAX Device supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2
(IGMP-v2). At start up, the WiMAX Device queries all directly connected networks
to gather group membership. After that, the WiMAX Device periodically updates
this information. IP multicasting can be enabled/disabled on the WiMAX Device
LAN and/or WAN interfaces in the web configurator (LAN; WAN). Select None to
disable IP multicasting on these interfaces.

The WAN Configuration Screens
7.1 Overview
Use the ADVANCED > WAN Configuration screens to set up your WiMAX
Device’s Wide Area Network (WAN) or Internet features.
A Wide Area Network (or WAN) links geographically dispersed locations to other
networks or the Internet. A WAN configuration can include switched and
permanent telephone circuits, terrestrial radio systems and satellite systems.
7.1.1 What You Can Do in This Chapter
• The Internet Connection screen (Section 7.2 on page 93) lets you set up your
WiMAX Device’s Internet settings.
• The WiMAX Configuration screen (Section 7.3 on page 95) lets set up the
frequencies used by your WiMAX Device.
• The Traffic Redirect screen (Section 7.4 on page 99) lets change your WiMAX
Device’s traffic redirect settings.
• The Advanced screen (Section 7.5 on page 101) lets configure your DNS
server, RIP, Multicast and Windows Networking settings.
7.1.2 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

Chapter 7The WAN Configuration Screens
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 30 WiMax: Mobile Station
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 31 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.

Chapter 7The WAN Configuration Screens
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 32 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.
Traffic Redirect
Traffic redirect forwards WAN traffic to a backup gateway when the WiMAX Device
cannot connect to the Internet through its normal gateway. Connect the backup
gateway on the WAN so that the WiMAX Device still provides firewall protection for
the LAN.

7.3.1 Frequency Ranges
The following figure shows the WiMAX Device searching a range of frequencies to
find a connection to a base station.
Figure 37 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).
Chapter 7The WAN Configuration Screens
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.
