CHAPTER 1
Getting Started
1.1 About Your WiMAX Modem
The WiMAX Modem allows you to access the Internet by connecting to a WiMAX
wireless network. You can use a traditional analog telephone to make Internet
calls using the WiMAX Modem’s Voice over IP (VoIP) communication capabilities.
You can configure firewall and content filtering as well as a host of other features.
The web browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), also known as the web
configurator, provides easy management.
See Chapter 23 on page 257 for a complete list of features for your model.
1.1.1 WiMAX Internet Access
Connect your computer or network to the WiMAX Modem for WiMAX Internet
access. See the Quick Start Guide for instructions on hardware connection.
In a wireless metropolitan area network (MAN), the WiMAX Modem connects to a
WiMAX base station (BS) for Internet access.
The following diagram shows a notebook computer equipped with the WiMAX
Modem connecting to the Internet through a WiMAX base station (marked BS).
Figure 1 Mobile Station and Base Station
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.

Chapter 1 Getting Started
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 bloc k access to certain web sites for
the kids.
1.1.2 Make Calls via Internet Telephony Service Provider
In a home or small office environment, you can use the WiMAX Modem to make
and receive the following types of VoIP telephone calls:
• Peer-to-Peer calls - Use the WiMAX Modem to make a call directly to the
recipient’s IP address without using a SIP proxy server.

1.3 Good Habits for Managing the Device
Do the following things regularly to make the WiMAX Modem more secure and to
manage the WiMAX Modem 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 Modem
becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget yo ur password, you will have to
reset the WiMAX Modem to its factory default settings. If you backed up an
earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the WiMAX
Modem. You could simply restore your last configuration.

6.1.2 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
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
65
Chapter 6 The Setup Screens
you entered. Y ou 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.
6.1.3 Before You Begin

CHAPTER 7
The LAN Configuration Screens
7.1 Overview
Use the ADVANCED > LAN Configuration screens to set up the WiMAX Modem
on the LAN. You can configure DHCP services and control how the WiMAX Modem
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.
7.1.1 What You Can Do in This Chapter
•The DHCP Setup screen (Section 7.2 on page 74) lets you enable, disable, and
configure the DHCP server in the WiMAX Modem.
•The Static DHCP screen (Section 7.3 on page 76) lets you assign specific IP
addresses to specific computers on the LAN.
•The IP Static Route screen (Section 7.4 on page 77) lets you examine the
static routes configured in the WiMAX Modem.
•The Other Settings screen (Section 7.5 on page 79) lets you control the
routing information that is sent and received by each subnet assign specific IP
addresses to specific computers on the LAN.
7.1.2 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.
User’s Guide
73
Chapter 7 The LAN Configuration Screens
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 your WiMAX
Modem an IP address, subnet mask, DNS and other routing information when it’s
turned on.

The metric represents the "cost of transmission". A router determines
the best route for transmission by choosing a path with the lowest
"cost". The smaller the metric, the lower the "cost". RIP uses hop count
as the measurement of cost, where 1 is for a directly-connected
network. The metric must be 1-15; if you use a value higher than 15,
the routers assume the link is down.

7.6 Technical Reference
The following section contains additional technical information about the WiMAX
Modem features described in this chapter.
7.6.1 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 Modem. The Internet
Assigned Number Authority (IANA) reserved this block of addresses sp ecifically 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
individual addresses, from 192.168.1.1 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.
80
User’s Guide
Once you have decided on the network number , pick an IP address that is easy to
remember, for instance, 192.168.1.1, for your WiMAX Modem, 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 Modem 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 Modem unless you are instructed to do otherwise.
7.6.2 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 Modem as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a
server, the WiMAX Modem 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.
Chapter 7 The LAN Configuration Screens
The WiMAX Modem is pre-configured with a pool of IP addresses for the DHCP
clients (DHCP Pool). See the product specif ic a t i o ns in the appendices. Do not
assign static IP addresses from the DHCP pool to your LAN computers.
These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives
you explicit DNS server address(es), see Section 7.3 on page 76.
7.6.3 LAN TCP/IP
The WiMAX Modem 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 Modem are preset in the factory with the
following values:
• IP address of 192.168.1.1 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 7.3 on page 76.
User’s Guide
81
Chapter 7 The LAN Configuration Screens
7.6.4 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 serv ers are conv eyed through IPCP
negotiation. The WiMAX Modem 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
not specified, for instance, left as 0.0.0.0, the WiMAX Modem tells the DHCP
clients that it itself is the DNS server. When a computer sends a DNS query to the
WiMAX Modem, the WiMAX Modem 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 Modem can pass the DNS servers to the computers and the computers can
query the DNS server directly without the WiMAX Modem’s intervention.
7.6.5 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 Modem will broadcast its routing table periodically and
incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
82
• In Only - the WiMAX Modem will not send any RIP packets but will accept all
RIP packets received.
• Out Only - the WiMAX Modem will send out RIP packets but will not accept any
RIP packets received.
User’s Guide
• None - the WiMAX Modem 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 Modem sends (it recog nizes 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.
7.6.6 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.
Chapter 7 The LAN Configuration Screens
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 host s must join t he 224.0.0.1 group in order
to participate in IGMP. The address 224.0.0.2 is assigned to the multicast routers
group.
The WiMAX Modem supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2
(IGMP-v2). At start up, the WiMAX Modem queries all directly connected
networks to gather group membership. After that, the WiMAX Modem periodically
updates this information. IP multicasting can be enabled/disabled on the WiMAX
Modem LAN and/or WAN interfaces in the web configurator (LAN; WAN). Select
None to disable IP multicasting on these interfaces.

8.1.2 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
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,
User’s Guide
85
Chapter 8 The WAN Configuration Screens
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 25 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 singl e base station ( BS), as
in the following figure.
Figure 26 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 t he WiMAX Modem and the
base station are controlled by the base station. The WiMAX Modem follows the
base station’s configur ation.
86
User’s Guide
Chapter 8 The WAN Configuration Screens
Authentication
When authenticating a user, the base station uses a third-party RADIUS or
Diameter server known as an AAA (Authentication, Authorizat ion and Ac counting)
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 27 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.

8.3.1 Frequency Ranges
The following figure shows the WiMAX Modem searching a range of frequencies to
find a connection to a base station.
Figure 30 Frequency Ranges
In this figure, A is the WiMAX frequency range. “WiMAX frequency r ange” refers to
the entire range of frequencies the WiMAX Modem is ca pable 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 Modem searching for a connection.
Have the WiMAX Modem 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 Modem
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.

CHAPTER 9
The VPN Transport Screens
9.1 Overview
This chapter describes the ADVANCED > VPN Transport screens, where you can
configure the WiMAX Modem to allow traffic from multiple users to pass through
the WiMAX network to the service provider’s router. Each user has his own
personal connection to the service provider, even though there is only a single
WiMAX connection. This allows the service provider to identify which user traffic
comes from.
VPN stands for “Virtual Private Network”. There are many types of VPN; the type
used by the WiMAX Modem is known as Virtual Private LAN Service, or VPLS.
Note: Unlike some other types of VPN (such as IPSec VPNs) VPLS VPNs do not use
authentication or encryption to secure the data they carry.
The following figure shows two users (A and B), connecting to the WiMAX Modem
(Z) through a switch (S). Each user has his own connection over the WiMAX
network to the service provider’s router (R).

information about the VPN transport connections.
9.1.2 What You Need to Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.
Identifying Users
For the WiMAX Modem’s VPN Tr ansport feat ure to work, it must be able to identify
users on the LAN. It does this by exa m ining VLAN (Virtual Local Area N et w ork )
tags.
These tags must be added to the data packets by a switch on the LAN. In the
following example, two users (A and B) are connected to a switch (C). A and B
are connected to different ports on the switch (port 1 and port 2). A and B send
untagged packets to the switch. The switch adds tags to packets depending on the
physical port on which they arrive. P ack ets arriving on port 1 are giv en a VLAN ID
(VLAN IDentifier) of 1, and packets arriving on port 2 are given a VLAN ID of 2.
When the packets reach the WiMAX Modem (D), their source is identified by
examining their VLAN tags.

9.1.3 Before You Begin
Before you start configuring your WiMAX Modem to use VPN transport, ensure that
you have the following from the service provider:
• The IP address or domain name of the service provider’s edge router.
• Virtual circuit (VC) labels for each Ethernet Pseudowire you want to create.
• Also make sure that you know the VLAN IDs (Virtual LAN IDentifiers) of the
VLANs on your LAN.

Chapter 9 The VPN Transport Screens
9.3 Customer Interface
Customer interfaces connect data comi ng from your computers to Ethernet
pseudowires, according to the data’s VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network)
information. One customer interface is for traffic that has no tag; this is the
default interface (rule 0) which cannot be deleted in the GUI. All other custom er
interfaces are identified by their VLAN ID.
Once the WiMAX Modem has examined a frame’s VLAN tag, it is able to assign the
frame to a specified path. This is done using a customer interface. The customer
interface is simply a set of information that takes frames from a VLAN and put
them on an Ethernet pseudowire, and vice versa.
In this example, the WiMAX Modem takes frames tagged with two different VLAN
IDs (10 and 20) and using the customer interfa ce s, as si g ns them to specific
pseudowires (PW1 and PW2).

VLAN 20 PW2

The WiMAX Modem has a default customer interface configured for frames that
arrive at the WiMAX Modem without VLAN tags.

PW2
9.3.1 Multi-Protocol Label Switching
The WiMAX Modem uses MPLS VPNs to create virtual private LANs. MPLS stands
for Multi-Protocol Label Switching, and is a packet-switching technology that
allows packets with different VLAN tags to be transported on different paths
(known as LSPs, or Label Switched Paths). Each packet is identified by its VLAN
tag and sent to a specific LSP for transport over the WiMAX network.

WiMAX
2
R
100
Each LSP has a defined start-point and end-point. Since MPLS creates monodirectional paths (traffic flows in only one direction), each Ethernet pseudowire
uses two LSPs so that traffic can flow both ways. One LSP carries upstream traffic,
and the other carries downstream traffic.
