About Tab
The About Tab displays basic properties of your CPE device such as: Product Name,
Model ID, Hardware Version, Serial Number, and the WiMAX MAC Address.
Wi-Fi Advanced
The Wi-Fi Advanced menu provides the following field settings:

Description
Language Used in User Interface
Select the desired language for the user
interface. The default language is English.
Enable WiMAX Radio Interface
Check this box to enable the WiMAX
Radio Interface.
Enable LED
Check this box to enable the LEDs on the
front of your CPE device.
Auto Refresh Interval
Enter, in seconds, the interval for status
Auto Refresh. Valid range is 2 seconds -
9999 seconds. The default value is 3
seconds.
Rebootstrap EMS
Check this box to reconnect the device
with the EMS.
Only perform this function under the
supervision of a Customer Support
Representative.

Description
Enable SSID broadcast
Check the box to disable the SSID of your wireless LAN net-
work to be broadcast by the device. The wireless client on
the wireless LAN will have to know the SSID of the device in
order to connect to the network if this option is checked.
Transmit Rate
Select the basic transfer rates based on the speed of
wireless device on the wireless LAN. It is strongly
recommended to keep this setting to Auto.
Transmit Power
Set the transmit power level of the antenna. The value
ranges from 1 - 251 mw, default value is 28mw. A safe
increase of up to 70 would be suitable for most users.
Higher power settings are not recommended for users due
to excess heat generated by the radio chipset, which can
affect the life of the device.

Beacon Interval
Enter a value between 1 and 65,535 milliseconds. The
Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the
beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the device to
synchronize the other wireless network.
RTS Threshold
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. The
range is 0-2347 bytes. Should you encounter inconsistent
data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a
network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold
size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The
device sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular
receiving wireless client on the network and negotiates the
sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the
wireless client responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to
acknowledge the right to begin transmission.
Preamble Type
The Preamble defines the length of the CRC block (Cyclic
Redundancy Check is a common technique for detecting
data transmission errors) for communication between the
wireless router and the roaming wireless network adapters.
Note: High network traffic areas should use the shorter
preamble type.
Fragmentation
Threshold
The range is 256-2346 bytes. It specifies the maximum size
for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple
packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may
slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the
Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor
network performance. Only minor modifications of this
value are recommended.
DIMM Interval
The default value is 3. This value, between 1 and 255
milliseconds, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown
field informing clients of the next window for listening to
broadcast and multicast messages. When the router has
buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated
clients, it
sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients
hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and
multicast messages.
CTS Protection Mode
CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to minimize
collisions among wireless devices on a wireless LAN. CTS
will make sure the wireless network is clear before a
wireless client attempts to send wireless data. Enabling CTS
will add overhead and may lower wireless through put.
None: CTS is typically used in a pure 802.11g environment.
If CTS is set to “Disable” in a mixed mode environment
populated by 802.11b clients, wireless collisions may occur
frequently. If set to
Enable
, CTS will always be used to
make sure the wireless LAN is clear before sending data. If
set to
Auto
, CTS will monitor the wireless network and
automatically decide whether to implement CTS based on
the amount of traffic and collisions that occurs on the
wireless LAN.

Frame Burst
The default value is disabled. Frame burst allows packet
bursting which will increase overall network speed though
this is only recommended for approximately 1-3 wireless
clients, Anymore clients and there can be a negative result
and throughput will be affected.
WMM
Wi-Fi Multimedia is QoS (Quality of Service) for the wireless
LAN. Enable this option to improve the quality of video and
voice applications for the wireless clients on the network.
Wireless Client Access
List
This option is to increase the wireless LAN network
security. If checked, only the wireless client with the MAC
address listed in the Wireless Client Access table can
connect to the wireless LAN.

Configuring TCP/IP

Chapter 5: Configuring TCP/IP
This section contains two examples of configuring TCP/IP in a Windows environment.
Most computers already have the TCP/IP configuration enabled. Use the following
procedures to verify that the configuration is set up. Configure all client computers on
your network for TCP/IP (the protocol that controls communication among computers).
Two examples are provided in this document:
Configuring TCP/IP in Windows XP
Configuring TCP/IP in Windows Vista

to display the Control Panel window. The display varies,
depending on your Windows XP view options. If the display is a Category view as
shown in Figure 5-2, continue with Step 3. Otherwise, skip to Step

Follow the instructions in your computer user manual for other Operating
Systems.
