Chapter 1 - Product Description
1.1
Introducing the Extreme CPE range
Extreme CPE is a set of outdoor (ODU) units with an indoor component (IDU), that
are either 2.3 GHz, 2.5GHz, 3.5 GHz, or 5 GHz, high capacity gateways and
WiMAX Wireless Broadband Access subscriber stations, for a home or small office.
Which ODU set you use depends on the frequency band of your service provider’s
WiMAX service. Each system provides network connections that are always on,
supporting immediate access to the Internet and other IP services at high data
rates. The unit provides a gateway function between a WiMAX service provider
and a local Ethernet LAN. The device enables a service provider to deliver last mile
broadband wireless access as an alternative to wired DSL or cable modems.
Part of an extended and field-proven product portfolio, Extreme CPE is an integral
part of the Extreme family, the latest most technologically advanced wireless
solution for broadband deployment. With capacity of up to 20 Mbps download and
7 Mbps upload speed per unit, the Extreme CPE solution enables the delivery of
powerful wireless broadband services to the subscriber. Extreme CPE is an
out-of-the-box solution with immediate available local stock enabling virtually
instant network expansion and simplified deployment. Extreme CPE provides a
wireless solution for the subscriber to connect to the internet.
With a range of up to 5 Km and lower equipment and deployment costs, Extreme
CPE enables service providers to wirelessly extend their services to customers in
areas where the cost of cabling is prohibitive to deployment. Remote residential
areas can now benefit from high-speed wireless Internet access, Web browsing
and e-mail, and advanced applications such as multi-media services.
The Extreme CPE indoor unit (IDU) is a plug-and-play device that provides PoE
power to the ODU and a network interface through an RJ-45 Ethernet switch
port, as well as two RJ-11 Voice over IP (VoIP) phone ports for
telecommunications.

configuration of all the unit’s features. Any PC directly attached to the unit can
access the management interface using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer
(version 6.0 or above) or Firefox (version 1.5 or above).
The initial configuration steps can be made through the web browser interface
using the Setup Wizard. It is recommended to make the initial changes by
connecting a PC directly to one of the Extreme’s LAN ports.

IDU Hardware Description
The Extreme CPE receives power through its network cable connection using
power-over-Ethernet technology. A power injector IDU is included in the Extreme
CPE package and provides two RJ-45 Ethernet ports, one for connecting to the
ODU (Radio), and the other for connecting to a local LAN switch (Ethernet), as well
as two RJ-11 phone ports for VoIP communications.
The Radio port is a propriety 10 PIN RJ-45 port that should not be confused with
a regular RJ-45 connection. Use only the propriety cable provided in the package
contents. To make sure you are using the right cable count the number of pins on
the RJ-45 socket, which should number ten.
The Ethernet port uses an MDI (i.e., internal straight-through) pin configuration.
You can therefore use straight-through twisted-pair cable to connect this port to
most network interconnection devices such as a switch or router that provide
MDI-X ports. However, when connecting the Extreme CPE to a workstation or
other device that does not have MDI-X ports, you must use a crossover
twisted-pair cable.

ODU Antenna Alignment
The ODU will provide the best link quality when its antenna is aligned in the
direction of the WiMAX base station. The optional SAU can be connected to the
ODU to provide status LED indications and assist with antenna alignment.
To align the ODU antenna using the SAU, follow these steps:
Remove the rubber sealing cover from the SAU port on the ODU.
Connect the SAU device to the SAU port. The PW (power) LED should turn on
to indicate that it is properly connected.
Point the ODU antenna in the general direction of the base station, then pan
the ODU back and forth while watching the link quality LEDs (see “SAU LED
Indicators” on page 18).

LED 1
WLNK
Network Entry Complete
ET PW AL
Find the point where the link quality is best and secure the ODU in that
position. Verify that the SAU’s WLNK LED is on, indicating that the unit is
synchronized with the base station.
NOTE
If all the SAU link quality LEDs are on, including LED 9 (red), the received signal strength is too
high. Move the ODU’s position so that only LEDs 1 to 8 are on.
Remove the SAU connection and replace the rubber sealing cover on the port.
ODU Antenna Alignment
Seal the SAU connector using tar seal or weatherproof tape to protect against
rain and moisture.
2.9.1
Align the WiMAX Antenna
After the Extreme CPE unit has been mounted, connected, and its radio is
operating, the antenna must be accurately aligned to ensure optimum
performance on the wireless link. This alignment process is particularly important
for long-range links.
To start the alignment process, you can just point the antenna in the general
direction of the Access Unit’s (base station) antenna using binoculars or a
compass. For accurate alignment, you must monitor the signal strength LEDs as
the antenna moves horizontally.
The signal strength LEDs indicate the received radio signal strength for the link.
The more LEDs that turn on, the stronger the signal.
When you move the antenna during alignment, the radio signal from the remote
antenna can be seen to have a strong central main lobe and smaller side lobes.
The object of the alignment process is to set the antenna so that it is receiving the
strongest signal from the central main lobe.
To align the antennas in the link, monitor the signal strength LEDs. For details
see Table 2-11. Perform the following procedure:
Pan the ODU horizontally back and forth while checking the LEDs, preferrably
with an SAU.
Extreme CPE Product Manual
43
Chapter 2 - Hardware Installation
Find the point where the signal is strongest (refer to Table 2-11) and leave in
that position.
NOTE
Sometimes there may not be a central lobe peak because vertical alignment is too far off; only two
similar peaks for the side lobes are detected.

Chapter 3 - Initial Configuration
3.1
Introduction
The Extreme CPE offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for the
configuration of all the unit’s features. Any PC directly attached to the unit can
access the management interface using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer
(version 6.0 or above).
The initial configuration steps can be made through the web-browser interface
using the default IP address.
3.1.1
Accessing the Web Management Interface
The Extreme CPE has the default IP address of 192.168.254.251 and the subnet
mask 255.255.255.0. Be sure to first check if your PC’s IP address is set on the
same subnet as the Extreme CPE and that the PC’s IP address is
192.168.254.250.
NOTE
The Extreme CPE does not support DHCP. Your PC must be set to the same subnet as the unit, ie.
192.168.254.x, and be set to the specific IP address 192.168.254.250.
In the web browser’s address bar, type the default IP address:
http://192.168.254.251.
The web browser displays the Extreme CPE’s login page.
NOTE
The Extreme CPE will scan for a base station upon boot up, however if no base station is found the
unit will automatically reboot every ten minutes causing a temporary loss of connection to the web
interface. To overcome this problem reload the web page.

Introduction
The Adaptive Transmission Power Control (ATPC) page displays the WiMAX
transmit signal levels and allows configuration of the ATPC algorithm or disabling
of the feature.
ATPC provides system designers with the ability to dynamically control the
transmission power, and offers a register to specify the transmission power level
during runtime. It is desirable to specify the minimum transmission power level
that achieves the required communication reliability for the sake of saving power
and increasing the system lifetime.

ATPC Configuration
The Multi rate and ATPC Parameters page enables the user to view the
transmission (Tx) and reception (Rx) power levels, their optimum levels, radio
band, and allows enabling or disabling of the ATPC feature, as well as setting of
the the transmission power level.
Once enabled the ATPC feature implements a power control algorithm for the
WiMAX network. The result of applying ATPC is that every node knows the proper
transmission power level to use for each of its neighbours, and every node
maintains good link qualities with its neighbours by dynamically adjusting the
transmission power through on-demand feedback packets.
Uniquely, ATPC adopts a feedback-based and pairwise transmission power
control. By collecting the link quality history, ATPC builds a model for each
neighbor of the node. This model represents an in-situ correlation between
transmission power levels and link qualities. With such a model, ATPC tunes the
transmission power according to monitored link quality changes. The changes of
transmission power level reflect changes in the surrounding environment.

In This Chapter:
This appendix provides a lists of things to check in case of problems before
contacting local Technical Support.
Appendix A - Troubleshooting
Check the following before you contact local Technical Support.
If you cannot access the Internet from the PC, check the following:
‘ 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.”
‘ The WAN Type settings for the service provider may not be configured
correctly. Use the web interface to check that the WAN settings match
those provided by the service provider.
‘ You may be out of the service area of the WiMAX base station. Check with
the WiMAX service provider for service coverage information.
‘ If you cannot resolve the problem, check the System Status page of the web
interface and contact your WiMAX service provider.
If the management interface cannot be accessed using a web browser:
‘ Be sure the management station is correctly configured for TCP/IP. The IP
settings should be set to “obtain an IP address automatically.”
‘ Try a Ping command from the management station to the unit’s IP address
to verify that the entire network path between the two devices is
functioning correctly.
‘ Check that the management station has a valid network connection and
that the Ethernet port that you are using has not been disabled.
‘ Check the network cabling between the management station and the unit.
If the problem is not resolved, try using a different port or a different cable.
Forgot or Lost the Password
‘ Set the unit to its default configuration by pressing the reset button on the
back panel for 5 seconds or more. Then use the default password “admin”
to access the management interface.
If all other recovery measures fail and the unit is still not functioning properly,
take either of these steps:
‘ Reset the unit using the web interface, or through a power reset.

to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you
modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a
fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure
that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these

Also, for each author's protection and ours, we want to make certain that
everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the
software is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to
know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by
others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish
to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain
patent licenses, in effect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we
have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not
licensed at all.

running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.
You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program's source code as you
receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately
publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty;
keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any
warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along
with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at
your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus
forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modifications
or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of
these conditions:
You must cause the modified files to carry prominent notices stating that you
changed the files and the date of any change.
You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part
contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a
whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.
124
Extreme CPE Product Manual
The GNU General Public License
If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you
must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary
way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright
notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a
warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions,
and telling the user how to view a copy of this
License. (Exception: if the
Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement,
your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections
of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered
independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,
do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But
when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based
on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this
License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and
thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to
work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control
the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the
Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or
distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this
License.
You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2)
in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above
provided that you also do one of the following:
Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code,
which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
Accompany it with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give any third
party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source
distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code,
to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium
customarily used for software interchange; or,
Accompany it with the information you received as to the offer to distribute
corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial
distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form
with such an offer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
Extreme CPE Product Manual
125
Appendix B - GNU License
The source code for a work means the preferred form of the work for making
modifications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the
source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition
files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the
executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not
include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form)
with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system
on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the
executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by offering access to copy from
a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from
the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third
parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.
You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as
expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify,
sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate
your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or
rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long
as such parties remain in full compliance.
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it.
However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program
or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept
this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work
based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or
works based on it.
Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the
recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy,
distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may
not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted
herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this
License.
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for
any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you
(whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of
this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you
cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not
distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit
126
Extreme CPE Product Manual
The GNU General Public License
royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly
or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this
License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular
circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a
whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other
property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the
sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system,
which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made
generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that
system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the
author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any
other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a
consequence of the rest of this License.
If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries
either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who
places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical
distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted
only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License
incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the
General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in
spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or
concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a
version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you
have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does
not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever
published by the Free Software Foundation.
If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose
distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission.
For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the
Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision
will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our
free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY
BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO
WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE
LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT
HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM "AS IS"
WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE
RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH
YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST
OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN
WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY
MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE
LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR
INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF
DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY
YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH
ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
