CHAPTER ONE: PRODUCT OVERVIEW
1.1 INTRODUCTION
The WiMAX Outdoor CPE with router/Bridge functionality provides WiMAX connectivity to wired
LAN networks. The CPE functions as a WiMAX gateway providing wired and wireless broadband
Internet access services through connection with a WiMAX base station. The CPE is easily installed,
utilizing Plug and Play functionality. In addition to web-based configuration, users can update firmware,
simplifying installation and operation of the device. The CPE operates in Router mode and Bridge
mode, both providing Internet access:
1.1.1 ROUTER MODE
In Router mode, the internal IP address is acquired through dynamic host configuration protocol
(DHCP), static IP address, or PPPoE connection to the WiMAX base station. With enabled
DHCP service, connected PCs and notebooks can acquire addresses from the CPE.
A CPE deployed for operation in the router mode is basically used to provide a gateway to hosts
on a local area network where the CPE hides all the traffic originating from the LAN behind its
IP address which is assigned from the public domain, which makes the traffic appear as if it’s
originating from the CPE itself. A router CPE implements Network Address Port Translation
protocol (NAPT).
1.1.2 BRIDGE MODE
This mode requires minimal presetting, with the internal IP address configured in the same or
different network segment as the WiMAX base station. Bridging is a forwarding technique used
in packet-switched computer networks.
A CPE deployed for operation in the bridge mode is basically used to provide Ethernet service to
enterprise customer locations. An enterprise location has a CPE with an Ethernet interface that
could support one or many user hosts in the local network through a switch. CPE supports both
IP and Ethernet CS. If Ethernet CS is supported by the network then Layer 2 connectivity can be
established between SS and CSN. In this case, the network service to the enterprise customer is
an Ethernet service from the core network all the way to the enterprise MS.

1.2 PRODUCT OVERVIEW: WIMAX TRANSMISSION FEATURES
The following transmission features are supported by the WiMAX Outdoor CPE to provide stable and
error-free connection.
1.2.1 DYNAMIC ADAPTATION
Dynamic adaptation enables the CPE to maintain a high data rate while taking into account
current link conditions like half-loss, interference, and seasonal foliage changes. The CPE
monitors wireless link conditions on a burst-by-burst basis and uses dynamic adaptive
modulation control, based on the measured CINR (Carrier/(Interference + Noise) Ratio), to
regulate the link.
1.2.2 ADAPTIVE CODING
Each data transmission to or from the CPE contains extra, redundant information to reduce the
errors introduced during transmission. A coding rate is the ratio of meaningful data to this extra
padding (including error correction data). Adaptive coding enables the CPE to dynamically
change the coding rate depending on this ratio. This CPE supports coding rates of 1/2, 2/3, and
3/4.
1.2.3 ADAPTIVE MODULATION
Adaptive Modulation is used to specify what modulation technique is coded in to carriers
composing orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) symbols. This CPE supports
QPSK, 16 QAM, and 64 QAM modulation techniques.
1.2.4 TRAFFIC CLASSIFICATION
Traffic Classification categorizes transmission bursts by searching for pattern matches within the
data. Classifications (for example, burst destination, source MAC address, and Virtual LAN tags)
are defined and managed by the base station and transmitted to the CPE.

DNS
Domain Name System is a system used for translating host names for network nodes
into IP addresses. DNS allows Internet host computers to have a domain name (such as
belkin.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a
database of host computers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so

that when a domain name is requested (as in typing easyDNS.com into an Internet
browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server address used by the
computers on the home network is the location of the DNS server the ISP has assigned.
DHCP
Dynamic Host Control Protocol provides a framework for passing configuration
information to hosts on a TCP/IP network. DHCP is based on the Bootstrap Protocol
(BOOTP), adding the capability of automatic allocation of reusable network addresses
and additional configuration options.
Dynamic IP
An IP address that is automatically obtained from a DHCP server.
Ethernet
A popular local area data communications network, which accepts transmission from
computers and terminals. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and hubs,
and move data around at up to 10 million bits per second (Mbps).
Encryption
Data passing between a base station and clients can use encryption to protect from
interception and eves-dropping.
FTP
File Transfer Protocol: A TCP/IP protocol used for file transfer.
Firmware
Software stored in a non-volatile memory.
IEEE 802.16e
A standard that provides mobile broadband wireless access using Scalable Orthogonal
Frequency Division Multiple Access (SOFDMA).
IP Address
Internet Protocol address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that
identifies an single, unique Internet computer host. Example: 192.34.45.8.
ISP

OFDM
Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing techniques which allows multiple users to
transmit in an allocated band by dividing the bandwidth into many narrow bandwidth
carriers.
PoE
Power over Ethernet is a specification for providing both power and data to low-power
network devices using a single Category 5 Ethernet cable. PoE provides greater flexibility
in locating network devices, and significantly decreased installation costs.
NAT
Network Address Translation is a process that allows all of the computers on the home
network to use one IP address. Using the NAT capability of the Home-Connect home
network gateway, access is available to the Internet from any computer on the home
network without having to purchase more IP addresses from the ISP.
Port
A logical channel that is identified by its unique port number. Applications listen on
specific ports for information that may be related to it.
PPPoE
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet is a method of secure data transmission originally
created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for Ethernet connections.
PPTP
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is a version of PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) that has
the ability to encapsulate packets of data formatted for one network protocol in packets
used by another protocol. This tunneling technique allows TCP/IP data to be transmitted
over a non-TCP/IP network. PPTP can be used to join different physical networks using
the Internet as an intermediary.
