– 23 –4ADMINISTRATOR MODEThe WiMAX USB Adapter has an Administrator Mode for configuring profiles and accessing the Advanced Configuration settings.Administrator Mode is intended for qualified service personnel only.ACCESSING ADMINISTRATOR MODEAdministrator Mode is accessed through the key sequence “Alt + t,” which prompts for a password.The password for Administrator Mode is “wimax123” (case sensitive).Figure 18: WCM Change ModeOnce in Administrator Mode, the user can create, edit, and delete profiles, configure authentication settings, and access the Advance Configuration screen.Using the key sequence “Alt + t” a second time exits Administrator Mode.
CHAPTER 4 | Administrator ModeEditing a Profile– 24 –Figure 19: Administrator mode - Auto loginEDITING A PROFILEDouble-click the system tray icon to open the application window. Then right-click on the icon to open the configuration menu.From the configuration menu, select “Profile.”Figure 20: Profile Icon
CHAPTER 4 | Administrator ModeEditing a Profile– 25 –Clicking the Scan tab on the Profile screen displays the profile frequency and bandwidth settings. Figure 21: Profile Screen - Scan TabThe Scan tab on the Edit Profile screen displays the following items:◆Frequency — Specifies a center frequency to scan.◆Bandwidth — Specifies the bandwidth of the channel; 5 or 10 MHz.
CHAPTER 4 | Administrator ModeEditing a Profile– 26 –Clicking the Authentication tab on the Profile screen displays the user authentication settings. Figure 22: Profile Screen - AuthenticationEAP Method — Selects the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) method to use for authentication. When EAP-TTLS or EAP-TLS is selected, the appropriate parameters need to be configured.◆EAP-TTLS-MS-CHAP-V2 — Tunneled Transport Layer Security with Microsoft’s version 2 of CHAP (Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol). This security method provides for certificate-based, mutual authentication of the client and network through an encrypted channel. Unlike EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS requires only server-side certificates. The MS-CHAP protocol requires a user name and password to be configured. The user name and password can be up to 50 characters. (The following characters are not permitted; /\|”?@#$%^&*():;<>,. )◆EAP-TLS — Transport Layer Security. Provides for certificate-based and mutual authentication of the client and the network. It relies on client-side and server-side certificates to perform authentication and can be used to dynamically generate user-based and session-based encryption keys to secure subsequent communications between the user and the network.Outer NAI —The Network Access Identifier (NAI) text string that is used to identify the home authentication realm for device authentication during roaming. The NAI string (defined in RFC 4282) is used to proxy an authentication request to another remote server. The authentication is then performed using the unique X.509 authentication certificate included with the device. The string can be defined by three methods:
CHAPTER 4 | Administrator ModeEditing a Profile– 27 –◆MAC: Uses the device MAC address as part of the identity.◆RANDOM: Uses a generated random number of 26 hexadecimal digits.◆CUSTOMIZE: Allows the whole string to be defined as required.Trust CA Certificate — The security certificate issued by a recognized certification authority (CA) that is used for mutual authentication with the authentication server when EAP-TLS is used. The browse button can be used to locate the file on the host PC.User name — A text string used by EAP-TTLS-MS-CHAP-V2 to identify the user to the authentication server.Password — The password used by EAP-TTLS-MS-CHAP-V2 to confirm the identity of the user to the authentication server.
– 28 –ATROUBLESHOOTINGDIAGNOSING LED INDICATORS NETWORK CONNECTION PROBLEMSIf you cannot access the Internet from the PC, check the following:◆Make sure the WCM software and driver is correctly installed on your system. If necessary, try uninstalling and reinstalling the software.◆If you cannot access the Internet, be sure your Windows system is correctly configured for TCP/IP. The IP settings should be set to “obtain an IP address automatically.”◆You may have moved out of the service area of the WiMAX network. The WCM main screen should indicate that there is no connection. Call the service provider for service coverage information.◆The service provider’s profile may not be configured correctly. Check that the Authentication Mode settings are correct.Table 2: LED IndicatorsLED Status Probable Cause ActionOrange LED is Off The USB adapter is not receiving power ◆Remove the USB adapter and reinsert it in the slot. Be sure the card is securely seated in the port.◆Try the USB adapter in another USB port. If this also fails, test your PC with another USB adapter that is known to operate correctly.◆Check the USB adapter and port connectors for any physical damage.◆Try the USB adapter in another PC’s port that is known to operate correctly.◆If you cannot resolve the problem, contact your local dealer for assistance.Green LED is Off The USB adapter cannot detect a WiMAX base station◆Verify the area covered by your WiMAX service provider.◆Move to another location within the WiMAX service area.
