Your Internet access settings are saved to the ZyXEL Device, and are used automatically each time you connect to the Internet.3.1.2 Configure WiMAX SettingsThe WiMAX Frequency screen allows you to specify a set of frequencies to search for a connection to a base station. Before you start, you need information from your ISP about the supported frequencies. In this example, your ISP has told you that the supported WiMAX frequencies are at 2.55 and 2.56 Gigahertz (GHz). See Section 8.4 on page 111 for more information on radio frequencies.Follow the steps below to configure your frequency settings.1Click Network > WAN > WiMAX Frequency to open the screen shown next.Figure 15 Tutorial: WiMAX Frequency Setup2Enter the frequency settings your ISP gave you in the DL Frequency fields. Note that these fields are in kilohertz (kHz).2.55 GHz is equal to 2550000 kHz, so enter 2550000 in the DL Frequency [1] field.2.56 GHz is equal to 2560000 kHZ, so enter 2560000 in the DL Frequency [2] field.3Click Apply to save your settings. The ZyXEL Device scans for an available wireless connection at the DL Frequency [1] setting (2.55 GHz) and, if it does not find an available connection, searches at the DL Frequency [2] setting (2.56 GHz). When it finds an available connection, the fields in this screen will be automatically set to use that frequency.For an example of using the WiMAX Frequency screen to configure more frequencies, see Section 8.4.2.1 on page 113.4Look at the LEDs on your ZyXEL Device. When the ZyXEL Device successfully connects to a base station, the LINK LED shines green steadily. The SIGNAL 1 ~ 5LEDs indicate the signal strength, with SIGNAL 5 showing a very strong signal and SIGNAL 1 showing a very weak signal.5Open your Internet browser and enter http://www.zyxel.com or the URL of any other web site in the address bar.

![Chapter 8WAN SetupMAX-200HW2 Series User s Guide112Use the WiMAX Frequency screen to define the radio frequencies to be searched for available wireless connections. See Section 8.4.2.1 on page 113 for an example of using the WiMAX Frequency screen.It may take several minutes for the ZyXEL Device to find a connection. The ZyXEL Device searches the DL Frequency settings in ascending numerical order, from [0] to [9]. If you enter a 0 in a DL Frequency field, the ZyXEL Device immediately moves on to the next DL Frequency field. When the ZyXEL Device connects to a base station, the values in this screen are automatically set to the base station!s frequency. The next time the ZyXEL Device searches for a connection, it searches only this frequency. If you want the ZyXEL Device to search other frequencies, enter them in the DL Frequency fields.The following table describes some examples of DL Frequency settings.Click Network > WAN > WiMAX Frequency to display the screen shown next.Table 34 DL Frequency Example SettingsEXAMPLE 1 EXAMPLE 2DL Frequency [0]:25000002500000DL Frequency [1]:25500002550000DL Frequency [2] 02600000DL Frequency [3]:00DL Frequency [4]:00The ZyXEL Device searches at 2500000 kHz, and then searches at 2550000 kHz if it has not found a connection.The ZyXEL Devicesearches at 2500000 kHz and then at 2550000 kHz if it has not found an available connection.
