Introduction

3.1

Introduction

After completing the installation process, as described in the preceding chapter, several actions should

be performed to ensure connectivity with a base station (BS) and provisioning of services. After the

subscriber unit is connected with a BS, it can be fully managed via the wireless link:

1

The basic parameters must be configured to ensure that the unit operates correctly and can

communicate with a BS.

2

Proper operation should be verified, including data connectivity.

3

The unit must be positioned correctly to ensure optimal performance of the wireless link.

The following methods are available for configuring the unit:



The web-based management interface - accessed using a PC/Notebook with a web browser (see

“Configuring the Unit Using the Web Management Interface” on page 23

).



An automatic configuration tool provided on a CDROM for the subscribers (see

“Configuring the Unit

Using the WiMAX Modem Application CD” on page 26

).



Upgrading the CPE using an auto-configuration file, or IPKG (in *.ipk format) (see

“Configuring the

CPE Using the IPKG Upgrade” on page 30

).

The device may be delivered with the operator’s default settings already configured in the FLASH

memory.

The following parameters must be configured in order for a link to be established.

Configuring the Unit Using the Web Management

Interface

The BreezeMAX PRO 6000 supports multi-user permissions: Operator and Subscriber modes are

available by downloading different configuration files (IPKGs) from the web and upgrading the unit.

Each level has different permissions to access various pages for configuration.

3.2.1

Accessing the Web Management Interface

By default, the BreezeMAX PRO 6000 enables a DHCP server and computers, or network devices

connected to a LAN port, to automatically get an IP address from the unit. If the unit's DHCP server is

disabled, you can set in the PC the IP address, netmask, and gateway manually using the following

values:

IP address: 192.168.254.x ( (1 <

x <

253, excluding 251)

Netmask: 255.255.255.0

Gateway: 192.168.254.251

1

Open a web browser and enter the Gateway IP address: http://192.168.254.251. The web browser

displays the login page.

2

Enter the user name and password, and click

Login

.

The system supports multi-level user login: Operator and Subscriber, and Debug modes are available.

Each level has different permissions to access various pages for configuration.
