1.1 Welcome
Thanks for choosing the ZTE IX256 WiMAX MODEM (hereinafter referred to as
“MODEM”). To get the most from your MODEM and to keep it in the best condition,
please read this manual carefully.
The pictures, symbols and contents in this manual are for reference only. They
might not be completely identical with your MODEM. ZTE operates a policy of
continuous development. We reserve the right to update the technical specifications
in this document at any time without prior notice.
1.2 Safety Precautions
Some electronic devices may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference.
Locate the MODEM away from TV set, radio and other electronic equipment to
avoid electromagnetic interference.
The MODEM may interfere with medical devices like hearing aids and pacemakers.
Consult with a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device before using the
MODEM.
Do not use your MODEM in dangerous environments such as oil or chemical
factories where there are explosive gases or explosive products being processed.
Please use original accessories or accessories that are authorized by your
Equipment Provider. Unauthorized accessories may affect the MODEM
performance, damage the MODEM or cause danger to you.
Do not attempt to dismantle the MODEM. There are no user serviceable parts.
Do not immerse the MODEM in any liquid.
Do not place objects on top of the MODEM. This may lead to overheating of the
device.
The MODEM must be placed in ventilation environment for use.
Do not expose the MODEM to direct sunlight or store it in hot areas. High
temperature can shorten the life of electronic devices.
Do not touch the antenna while calling.
Do not allow children to play with the MODEM or charger.
Keep the length of the cable between the MODEM and the phone less than 33 feet.
6
The MODEM is for indoor use only. Do not use the MODEM outside. Do not
connect telephone extensions which run outside of the building. These can result in
lightning damage to your unit.
This device cannot be used with handheld PDA (personal digital assistants).
1.3 Cleaning and Maintaining
Use an antistatic cloth to clean the MODEM. Do not use chemical or abrasive
cleanser as these could damage the plastic case. Turn off your MODEM before you
clean it.
Do not use your MODEM during a thunderstorm. Remove the mains power pack
from the wall socket.
Please do not touch the antenna with your hand during conversation. Covering the
antenna may affects call quality, may cause the MODEM to operate at higher
power level than needed.

protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However,
there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does
cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
—Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
—Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
—Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
—Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void
the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
AMC Not supported.
BCSM250 does not support UL beamforming.
1.7 RF Declaration
Radio Frequency (RF) Energy
The device contains a transmitter and a receiver. When it is ON, it receives and transmits RF energy.
When you communicate with your device, the system handling your connection controls the power
level at which your device transmits.
Important safety information regarding radiofrequency radiation (RF) exposure. To ensure compliance
with RF exposure guidelines the device must be used with a separation from the body. Failure to
observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits.

WDS configuration is shown below:
Step
Description
1.Set the same SSID and
channel for APs
Manually set the SSID and channel is strongly
recommended. And select the known channel from
channel 1 to channel 11.

packets sent by an access point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a
beacon interval value. is recommended.
Data Beacon Rate(DTIM): A Delivery Traffic Indication Message(DTIM)
informs next clients to listen to broadcast and multicast messages.
Fragment Threshold: This value should remain at its default value of 2346. If
you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase your

communication.
Short Slot: To indicate that 802.11g is using a shot time slot because there is
no legacy station(802.11b) present.
Tx Burst: Tx burst allows router to deliver better throughput in the same
period and environment in order to increase speed.
Pkt_Aggregate: Increase efficiency by aggregating multiple application
packets data into a single transmission frame. In this way, 802.11n networks
can send multiple data packets with the fixed overhead cost in just a single
frame.
IEEE 802.11H Support: Support IEEE 802.11H or not.
The Wi-Fi Multimedia parameters are shown below:
