MAX208M User s Guide 17CHAPTER 1 Getting Started1.1 About Your WiMAX Device The WiMAX Device allows you to access the Internet by connecting to a WiMAX wireless network. You can configure firewall and content filtering as well as a host of other features. The browser-based user interface -- the Web Configurator -- can be used to easily manage the device.See Chapter 11 on page 145 for a complete list of features for your model.1.1.1 WiMAX Internet AccessConnect your computer or network to the WiMAX Device for WiMAX Internet access. See the Quick Start Guide for instructions on hardware connections.In a wireless metropolitan area network (MAN), the WiMAX Device connects to a WiMAX base station (BS) for Internet access. The following diagram shows a notebook computer equipped with the WiMAX Device connecting to the Internet through a WiMAX base station (BS).Figure 1 Mobile Station and Base StationWhen the firewall is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is blocked unless it is initiated from your network. Use content filtering to block access to web sites with URLs containing keywords that you specify. You can define time periods and days during which content filtering is enabled and include or exclude particular computers on your network from content filtering. For example, you could block access to certain web sites.

Chapter 1Getting StartedMAX208M User s Guide 191.3 Good Habits for Device ManagementDo the following things regularly to make the WiMAX Device more secure and to manage the WiMAX Device more effectively.!Change the password. Use a password that s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.!Write down the password and put it in a safe place.!Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the WiMAX Device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the WiMAX Device to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the WiMAX Device. You could simply restore your last configuration.Signal Strength IndicatorThe Strength Indicator LEDs display the Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (CINR) of the wireless (WiMAX) connection.LEDs 1, 2, 3 onRSSI >= -69 dBmLEDs 1, 2 onRSSI: -70~-79 dBmLED 1 onRSSI: -80~-89 dBmTable 2 The WiMAX Device LEDs behaviorLED STATE DESCRIPTION

MAX208M User s Guide 57CHAPTER 6 WiMAX6.1 OverviewThis chapter shows you how to set up and manage the connection between the WiMAX Device and your ISP s base stations.6.1.1 What You Need to KnowThe following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.WiMAX WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is the IEEE 802.16 wireless networking standard, which provides high-bandwidth, wide-range wireless service across wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). ZyXEL is a member of the WiMAX Forum, the industry group dedicated to promoting and certifying interoperability of wireless broadband products.In a wireless MAN, a wireless-equipped computer is known either as a mobile station (MS) or a subscriber station (SS). Mobile stations use the IEEE 802.16e standard and are able to maintain connectivity while switching their connection from one base station to another base station (handover) while subscriber stations use other standards that do not have this capability (IEEE 802.16-2004, for example). The following figure shows an MS-equipped notebook computer MS1 moving from base station BS1 s coverage area and connecting to BS2.Figure 12 WiMax: Mobile Station
Chapter 6WiMAXMAX208M User s Guide58WiMAX technology uses radio signals (around 2 to 10 GHz) to connect subscriber stations and mobile stations to local base stations. Numerous subscriber stations and mobile stations connect to the network through a single base station (BS), as in the following figure. Figure 13 WiMAX: Multiple Mobile StationsA base station s coverage area can extend over many hundreds of meters, even under poor conditions. A base station provides network access to subscriber stations and mobile stations, and communicates with other base stations.The radio frequency and bandwidth of the link between the WiMAX Device and the base station are controlled by the base station. The WiMAX Device follows the base station s configuration. AuthenticationWhen authenticating a user, the base station uses a third-party RADIUS or Diameter server known as an AAA (Authentication, Authorization and Accounting) server to authenticate the mobile or subscriber stations. The following figure shows a base station using an AAA server to authenticate mobile station MS, allowing it to access the Internet.Figure 14 Using an AAA ServerIn this figure, the dashed arrow shows the PKM (Privacy Key Management) secured connection between the mobile station and the base station, and the solid arrow shows the EAP secured connection between the mobile station, the base station and the AAA server. See the WiMAX security appendix for more details.
Chapter 6WiMAXMAX208M User s Guide 59Frequency RangesThe following figure shows the WiMAX Device searching a range of frequencies to find a connection to a base station. Figure 15 Frequency RangesIn this figure, A is the WiMAX frequency range. "WiMAX frequency range# refers to the entire range of frequencies the WiMAX Device is capable of using to transmit and receive (see the Product Specifications appendix for details). In the figure, B shows the operator frequency range. This is the range of frequencies within the WiMAX frequency range supported by your operator (service provider).The operator range is subdivided into bandwidth steps. In the figure, each C is a bandwidth step.The arrow D shows the WiMAX Device searching for a connection.Have the WiMAX Device search only certain frequencies by configuring the downlink frequencies. Your operator can give you information on the supported frequencies. The downlink frequencies are points of the frequency range your WiMAX Device searches for an available connection. Use the Site Survey screen to set these bands. You can set the downlink frequencies anywhere within the WiMAX frequency range. In this example, the downlink frequencies have been set to search all of the operator range for a connection.Certification AuthorityA Certification Authority (CA) issues certificates and guarantees the identity of each certificate owner. There are commercial certification authorities like CyberTrust or VeriSign and government certification authorities. You can use the WiMAX Device to generate certification requests that contain identifying information and public keys and then send the certification requests to a certification authority.
Chapter 6WiMAXMAX208M User s Guide60Certificate File FormatsThe certification authority certificate that you want to import has to be in one of these file formats:!Binary X.509: This is an ITU-T recommendation that defines the formats for X.509 certificates.!PEM (Base-64) encoded X.509: This Privacy Enhanced Mail format uses lowercase letters, uppercase letters and numerals to convert a binary X.509 certificate into a printable form.!Binary PKCS#7: This is a standard that defines the general syntax for data (including digital signatures) that may be encrypted. The WiMAX Device currently allows the importation of a PKS#7 file that contains a single certificate.!PEM (Base-64) encoded PKCS#7: This Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) format uses 64 ASCII characters to convert a binary PKCS#7 certificate into a printable form.CINRCarrier to Interference-plus-Noise Ratio (CINR) measures the effectiveness of a wireless signal and plays an important role in allowing the WiMAX Device to decode signal burts. If a burst has a high signal strength and a high interference-plus-noise ratio, it can use Digital Signal Processing (DSP) to decode it; if the signal strength is lower, it can switch to an alternate burst profile.RSSIReceived Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) measures the relative strength of a given wireless signal. This is important in determining if a signal is below the Clear-To-Send (CTS) threshold. If it is below the arbitrarily specified threshold, then WiMAX Device is free to transmit any data packets.EAP Authentication EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol) is an authentication protocol that runs on top of the IEEE 802.1x transport mechanism in order to support multiple types of user authentication. By using EAP to interact with an EAP-compatible RADIUS server, an access point helps a wireless station and a RADIUS server perform authentication. The WiMAX Device supports EAP-TLS and EAP-TTLS (at the time of writing, TTLS is not available in Windows Vista) . For EAP-TLS authentication type, you must first have a wired connection to the network and obtain the certificate(s) from a certificate authority (CA). Certificates (also called digital IDs) can be used to authenticate users and a CA issues certificates and guarantees the identity of each certificate owner.

CCM combines counter-mode encryption with CBC-MAC authentication.AES-CBCSelect this to enable AES-CBC encryption. CBC creates message authentication code from a block cipher.Key EncryptionAES-key wrapSelect this encapsulate cryptographic keys in a symmetric encryption algorithm.AES-ECBSelect this to divide cryptographic keys into blocks and encrypt them separately.EAP SupplicantEAP ModeSelect an Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) mode.The WiMAX Device supports the following:!EAP-TLS - In this protocol, digital certifications are needed by both the server and the wireless clients for mutual authentication. The server presents a certificate to the client. After validating the identity of the server, the client sends a different certificate to the server. The exchange of certificates is done in the open before a secured tunnel is created. This makes user identity vulnerable to passive attacks. A digital certificate is an electronic ID card that authenticates the sender s identity. However, to implement EAP-TLS, you need a Certificate Authority (CA) to handle certificates, which imposes a management overhead.!EAP-TTLS - This protocol is an extension of the EAP-TLS authentication that uses certificates for only the server-side authentications to establish a secure connection. Client authentication is then done by sending username and password through the secure connection, thus client identity is protected. For client authentication, EAP-TTLS supports EAP methods and legacy authentication methods such as PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP v2.

MAX208M User s Guide 77CHAPTER 7 Network Settings7.1 OverviewThis chapter shows you how to configure the WiMAX Device s network settings.7.1.1 What You Need to KnowThe following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.IP AddressIP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network. These networking devices are also known as hosts.Subnet MasksSubnet masks determine the maximum number of possible hosts on a network. You can also use subnet masks to divide one network into multiple sub-networks.DHCPA DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server can assign your WiMAX Device an IP address, subnet mask, DNS and other routing information when it s turned on.
Chapter 7Network SettingsMAX208M User s Guide78DNS Server AddressDNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a machine before you can access it. The DNS server addresses that you enter in the DHCP setup are passed to the client machines along with the assigned IP address and subnet mask.There are two ways that an ISP disseminates the DNS server addresses. The first is for an ISP to tell a customer the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when s/he signs up. If your ISP gives you the DNS server addresses, enter them in the DNS Server fields; otherwise, leave them blank.Some ISPs choose to pass the DNS servers using the DNS server extensions of PPP IPCP (IP Control Protocol) after the connection is up. If your ISP did not give you explicit DNS servers, chances are the DNS servers are conveyed through IPCP negotiation. The WiMAX Device supports the IPCP DNS server extensions through the DNS proxy feature.If the Primary and Secondary DNS Server fields are not specified, for instance, left as 0.0.0.0, the WiMAX Device tells the DHCP clients that it itself is the DNS server. When a computer sends a DNS query to the WiMAX Device, the WiMAX Device forwards the query to the real DNS server learned through IPCP and relays the response back to the computer.Please note that DNS proxy works only when the ISP uses the IPCP DNS server extensions. It does not mean you can leave the DNS servers out of the DHCP setup under all circumstances. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS servers, make sure that you enter their IP addresses. This way, the WiMAX Device can pass the DNS servers to the computers and the computers can query the DNS server directly without the WiMAX Device s intervention.RIP SetupRIP (Routing Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction field controls the sending and receiving of RIP packets. When set to:!RX/TX - the WiMAX Device will broadcast its routing table periodically and incorporate the RIP information that it receives.!RX Only - the WiMAX Device will not send any RIP packets but will accept all RIP packets received.!TX Only - the WiMAX Device will send out RIP packets but will not accept any RIP packets received.!None - the WiMAX Device will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received.
Chapter 7Network SettingsMAX208M User s Guide 79The Version field controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the WiMAX Device sends (it recognizes both formats when receiving). RIP-1 is universally supported; but RIP-2 carries more information. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network topology.Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M sends the routing data in RIP-2 format; the difference being that RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting while RIP-2M uses multicasting.Port Forwarding A NAT server set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you can make accessible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a single machine to the outside world.With port forwarding, you can forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be better to specify a range of port numbers. In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A service request that does not have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default server. If the default is not defined, the service request is simply discarded.For example, let's say you want to assign ports 21-25 to one FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (A in the example), port 80 to another (B in the example) and assign a default server IP address of 192.168.1.35 to a third (C in the example). You assign the LAN IP addresses and the ISP assigns the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet.Figure 26 Multiple Servers Behind NAT Example
Chapter 7Network SettingsMAX208M User s Guide80Trigger PortsSome services use a dedicated range of ports on the client side and a dedicated range of ports on the server side. With regular port forwarding you set a forwarding port in NAT to forward a service (coming in from the server on the WAN) to the IP address of a computer on the client side (LAN). The problem is that port forwarding only forwards a service to a single LAN IP address. In order to use the same service on a different LAN computer, you have to manually replace the LAN computer's IP address in the forwarding port with another LAN computer's IP address, Trigger port forwarding solves this problem by allowing computers on the LAN to dynamically take turns using the service. The WiMAX Device records the IP address of a LAN computer that sends traffic to the WAN to request a service with a specific port number and protocol (a "trigger" port). When the WiMAX Device's WAN port receives a response with a specific port number and protocol ("incoming" port), the WiMAX Device forwards the traffic to the LAN IP address of the computer that sent the request. After that computer s connection for that service closes, another computer on the LAN can use the service in the same manner. This way you do not need to configure a new IP address each time you want a different LAN computer to use the application.ALGSome applications, such as SIP, cannot operate through NAT (are NAT un-friendly) because they embed IP addresses and port numbers in their packets data payload. Some NAT routers may include a SIP Application Layer Gateway (ALG). An Application Layer Gateway (ALG) manages a specific protocol (such as SIP, H.323 or FTP) at the application layer. A SIP ALG allows SIP calls to pass through NAT by examining and translating IP addresses embedded in the data stream.UPnPUniversal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use.How do I know if I'm using UPnP? UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (Windows XP). Each UPnP compatible device installed on your network will appear as a separate icon. Selecting the icon of a UPnP device will allow you to access the information and properties of that device.
Chapter 7Network SettingsMAX208M User s Guide 81NAT TraversalUPnP NAT traversal automates the process of allowing an application to operate through NAT. UPnP network devices can automatically configure network addressing, announce their presence in the network to other UPnP devices and enable exchange of simple product and service descriptions. NAT traversal allows the following:!Dynamic port mapping!Learning public IP addresses!Assigning lease times to mappingsWindows Messenger is an example of an application that supports NAT traversal and UPnP. Cautions with UPnPThe automated nature of NAT traversal applications in establishing their own services and opening firewall ports may present network security issues. Network information and configuration may also be obtained and modified by users in some network environments. All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration. Disable UPnP if this is not your intention. UPnP and ZyXELZyXEL has received UPnP certification from the official UPnP Forum (http://www.upnp.org). ZyXEL's UPnP implementation supports IGD 1.0 (Internet Gateway Device).The WiMAX Device only sends UPnP multicasts to the LAN.Content FilterInternet content filtering allows you to create and enforce Internet access policies tailored to their needs. Content filtering is the ability to block certain specific URL keywords.

Its purpose is to allow a private Local Area Network (LAN) to be securely connected to the Internet. The WiMAX Device can be used to prevent theft, destruction and modification of data. The WiMAX Device is installed between the LAN and a WiMAX base station connecting to the Internet. This allows it to act as a secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and the LAN.The WiMAX Device has one Ethernet (LAN) port. The LAN (Local Area Network) port attaches to a network of computers, which needs security from the outside world. These computers will have access to Internet services such as e-mail, FTP and the World Wide Web. However, "inbound access# is not allowed (by default) unless the remote host is authorized to use a specific service.

MAX208M User s Guide 113CHAPTER 9 Maintenance9.1 OverviewUse these screens to manage and maintain your WiMAX Device.9.1.1 What You Need to KnowThe following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.Remote Management LimitationsRemote management over LAN or WAN will not work when:1You have disabled that service in one of the remote management screens.2The IP address in the Secured Client IP field does not match the client IP address. If it does not match, the WiMAX Device will disconnect the session immediately.3There is already another remote management session with an equal or higher priority running. You may only have one remote management session running at one time.
Chapter 9MaintenanceMAX208M User s Guide114Remote Management and NATWhen NAT is enabled:!Use the WiMAX Device s WAN IP address when configuring from the WAN. !Use the WiMAX Device s LAN IP address when configuring from the LAN.System TimeoutThere is a default system management idle timeout of five minutes. The WiMAX Device automatically logs you out if the management session remains idle for longer than this timeout period. The management session does not time out when a statistics screen is polling.SNMPSimple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a protocol used for exchanging management information between network devices. SNMP is a member of the TCP/IP protocol suite. Your WiMAX Device supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the WiMAX Device through the network. The WiMAX Device supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation.Note: SNMP is only available if TCP/IP is configured.
Chapter 9MaintenanceMAX208M User s Guide 115TR-069TR-069 is an abbreviation of "Technical Report 069#, a protocol designed to facilitate the remote management of Customer Premise Equipement (CPE), such as the WiMAX Device. It can be managed over a WAN by means of an Auto Configuration Server (ACS). TR-069 is based on sending Remote Procedure Calls (RPCs) between the ACS and the client device. RPCs are sent in Extensible Markup Language (XML) format over HTTP or HTTPS. An administrator can use an ACS to remotely set up the WiMAX Device, modify its settings, perform firmware upgrades, and monitor and diagnose it. In order to do so, you must enable the TR-069 feature on your WiMAX Device and then configure it appropriately. (The ACS server which it will use must also be configured by its administrator.)Figure 48 TR-069 ExampleIn this example, the WiMAX Device receives data from at least 3 sources: A SIP server for handling voice calls, an HTTP server for handling web services, and an ACS, for configuring the WiMAX Device remotely. All three servers are owned and operated by the client s Internet Service Provider. However, without the configuration settings from the ACS, the WiMAX Device cannot access the other two servers. Once the WiMAX Device receives its configuration settings and implements them, it can connect to the other servers. If the settings change, it will once again be unable to connect until it receives its updates from the ACS.The WiMAX Device can be configured to periodically check for updates from the auto-configuration server so that the end user need not be worried about it.SIPACSHTTP
Chapter 9MaintenanceMAX208M User s Guide116SNMPAn SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager.Figure 49 SNMP Management ModelAn agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the WiMAX Device). An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators perform network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor managed devices. The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include such as number of packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects. The WiMAX Device supports MIB II that is defined in RFC-1213 and RFC-1215. The focus of the MIBs is to let administrators collect statistical data and monitor status and performance.SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations: !Get - Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent. !GetNext - Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations.
Chapter 9MaintenanceMAX208M User s Guide 117!Set - Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent. !Trap - Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events.The WiMAX Device sends traps to the SNMP manager when any of the following events occurs: OMA-DMWhen the WiMAX Device initiates communication with the server (often times at start up or after the first time you turn it on), the server uploads commands, new files (if any), and other information used by a service provider to customize the WiMAX Device s features.Device management works as follows: 1The server (A) sends out the query (1) to the WiMAX Device (B). 2The WiMAX Device responds by sending back its credentials (2), to which the server responds with its credentials along with a string of management operations (3). 3The client responds to the management operations (4), perhaps confirming file alterations or confirming receipt of file uploads and so on. Table 40 SNMP TrapsTRAP # TRAP NAME DESCRIPTION0coldStart (defined in RFC-1215)A trap is sent after booting (power on).1warmStart (defined in RFC-1215)A trap is sent after booting (software reboot).4authenticationFailure (defined in RFC-1215)A trap is sent to the manager when receiving any SNMP get or set requirements with the wrong community (password).6whyReboot (defined in ZYXEL-MIB)A trap is sent with the reason of restart before rebooting when the system is going to restart (warm start).6a For intentional reboot: A trap is sent with the message "System reboot by user!" if reboot is done intentionally, (for example, download new files, CI command "sys reboot", etc.).6b For fatal error: A trap is sent with the message of the fatal code if the system reboots because of fatal errors.
Chapter 9MaintenanceMAX208M User s Guide1184The server disconnects from the WiMAX Device once all of its management operations have been carried out.Figure 50 OMA-DM Data ManagementOMA-DM AuthenticationIn order to ensure the integrity of the connection between an OMA-DM server and the WiMAX Device, communication between the two is encoded using one of three common algorithms. They are not intended to be used in lieu of proper digital security, but instead as a means of transmitting multiple disparate types of data over HTTP. Security encryption for communication is handled by different processes configured elsewhere in the WiMAX Device s web configuratorBasic Access Authentication $ Sends a person s user name and password in Base64. This auhentication protocol is supported by all browsers that are HTTP 1.0/1.1 compliant. Although converted to Base64 for the sake of cross-compatibility, credentials are nonetheless passed between the web browser and the server in plaintext, making it extremely easy to intercept and read. As such, it is rarely used anymore.Digest Access Authentication $ This protocol was designed to replace basic access authentication. Instead of encoding a user name and password in plaintext, this protocol uses what is known as an MD5 message authentication code. It allows the server to issue a single-use, randomly generated number (known as a %nonce ) to the client (in this case, the web browser), which then uses the number as the %public key for encrypting its data. When the server receives the encrypted data, it unlocks it using the %key that was just provided. While stronger than basic access authentication, this protocol is not as strong as, say, HMAC, or as secure as the client using a client-side private key encryption scheme. Hash Message Authentication Code $ Also known as HMAC, this code relies on cryptographic hash functions to bolster an existing protocol, such as MD5. It is a method for generating a stronger, significantly higher encryption key.
Chapter 9MaintenanceMAX208M User s Guide 119OMA-DM Data ModelEach device that conforms to the current OMA-DM standard has an identical data structure embedded in its controlling firmware. This allows a similarly conforming OMA-DM server to navigate the folder structure and to make file alterations where appropriate or required.Figure 51 OMA-DM Data ModelIn the example data model shown here, the parent folders must conform to the OMA-DM standard. The child folders, on the other hand, can be customized on an individual basis. This allows the parent folders to all maintain a consistent URI (Uniform Resource Indentifier) across all devices that meet the OMA-DM standard s requirements. For example, in the preceding figure the URI for the "Games# folder is "./Vendor/Games/#. The "./Vendor/# portion of the URI exists on all devices that conform to the OMA-DM standard. The "Games# folder, however, may or may not exist depending on the services provided by the company managing the device.DaytimeA network protocol used by devices for debugging and time measurement. A computer can use this protocol to set its internal clock but only if it knows in which order the year, month, and day are returned by the server. Not all servers use the same format.TimeA network protocol for retrieving the current time from a server. The computer issuing the command compares the time on its clock to the information returned by the server, adjusts itself automatically for time zone differences, then calculates the difference and corrects itself if there has been any temporal drift.Root Folder./DMAccVendorOperatorMP3sGames

MAX208M User s Guide 151APPENDIX A WiMAX SecurityWireless security is vital to protect your wireless communications. Without it, information transmitted over the wireless network would be accessible to any networking device within range.User Authentication and Data EncryptionThe WiMAX (IEEE 802.16) standard employs user authentication and encryption to ensure secured communication at all times.User authentication is the process of confirming a user s identity and level of authorization. Data encryption is the process of encoding information so that it cannot be read by anyone who does not know the code. WiMAX uses PKMv2 (Privacy Key Management version 2) for authentication, and CCMP (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Protocol) for data encryption. WiMAX supports EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol, RFC 2486) which allows additional authentication methods to be deployed with no changes to the base station or the mobile or subscriber stations.PKMv2PKMv2 is a procedure that allows authentication of a mobile or subscriber station and negotiation of a public key to encrypt traffic between the MS/SS and the base station. PKMv2 uses standard EAP methods such as Transport Layer Security (EAP-TLS) or Tunneled TLS (EAP-TTLS) for secure communication. In cryptography, a %key is a piece of information, typically a string of random numbers and letters, that can be used to %lock (encrypt) or %unlock (decrypt) a message. Public key encryption uses key pairs, which consist of a public (freely available) key and a private (secret) key. The public key is used for encryption and the private key is used for decryption. You can decrypt a message only if you have the private key. Public key certificates (or %digital IDs ) allow users to verify each other s identity.
Appendix AWiMAX SecurityMAX208M User s Guide152RADIUSRADIUS is based on a client-server model that supports authentication, authorization and accounting. The base station is the client and the server is the RADIUS server. The RADIUS server handles the following tasks:!Authentication Determines the identity of the users.!AuthorizationDetermines the network services available to authenticated users once they are connected to the network.!AccountingKeeps track of the client s network activity. RADIUS is a simple package exchange in which your base station acts as a message relay between the MS/SS and the network RADIUS server. Types of RADIUS MessagesThe following types of RADIUS messages are exchanged between the base station and the RADIUS server for user authentication:!Access-RequestSent by an base station requesting authentication.!Access-RejectSent by a RADIUS server rejecting access.!Access-AcceptSent by a RADIUS server allowing access. !Access-ChallengeSent by a RADIUS server requesting more information in order to allow access. The base station sends a proper response from the user and then sends another Access-Request message. The following types of RADIUS messages are exchanged between the base station and the RADIUS server for user accounting:!Accounting-RequestSent by the base station requesting accounting.!Accounting-ResponseSent by the RADIUS server to indicate that it has started or stopped accounting. In order to ensure network security, the access point and the RADIUS server use a shared secret key, which is a password they both know. The key is not sent over
Appendix AWiMAX SecurityMAX208M User s Guide 153the network. In addition to the shared key, password information exchanged is also encrypted to protect the network from unauthorized access. DiameterDiameter (RFC 3588) is a type of AAA server that provides several improvements over RADIUS in efficiency, security, and support for roaming. Security AssociationThe set of information about user authentication and data encryption between two computers is known as a security association (SA). In a WiMAX network, the process of security association has three stages.!Authorization request and replyThe MS/SS presents its public certificate to the base station. The base station verifies the certificate and sends an authentication key (AK) to the MS/SS.!Key request and replyThe MS/SS requests a transport encryption key (TEK) which the base station generates and encrypts using the authentication key. !Encrypted trafficThe MS/SS decrypts the TEK (using the authentication key). Both stations can now securely encrypt and decrypt the data flow.CCMPAll traffic in a WiMAX network is encrypted using CCMP (Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Protocol). CCMP is based on the 128-bit Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) algorithm. %Counter mode refers to the encryption of each block of plain text with an arbitrary number, known as the counter. This number changes each time a block of plain text is encrypted. Counter mode avoids the security weakness of repeated identical blocks of encrypted text that makes encrypted data vulnerable to pattern-spotting.%Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication (also known as CBC-MAC) ensures message integrity by encrypting each block of plain text in such a way that its encryption is dependent on the block before it. This series of %chained blocks creates a message authentication code (MAC or CMAC) that ensures the encrypted data has not been tampered with.
Appendix AWiMAX SecurityMAX208M User s Guide154Authentication The WiMAX Device supports EAP-TTLS authentication.EAP-TTLS (Tunneled Transport Layer Service) EAP-TTLS is an extension of the EAP-TLS authentication that uses certificates for only the server-side authentications to establish a secure connection (with EAP-TLS digital certifications are needed by both the server and the wireless clients for mutual authentication). Client authentication is then done by sending username and password through the secure connection, thus client identity is protected. For client authentication, EAP-TTLS supports EAP methods and legacy authentication methods such as PAP, CHAP, MS-CHAP and MS-CHAP v2.

MAX208M User s Guide 193APPENDIX D IP Addresses and SubnettingThis appendix introduces IP addresses and subnet masks. IP addresses identify individual devices on a network. Every networking device (including computers, servers, routers, printers, etc.) needs an IP address to communicate across the network. These networking devices are also known as hosts.Subnet masks determine the maximum number of possible hosts on a network. You can also use subnet masks to divide one network into multiple sub-networks.Introduction to IP AddressesOne part of the IP address is the network number, and the other part is the host ID. In the same way that houses on a street share a common street name, the hosts on a network share a common network number. Similarly, as each house has its own house number, each host on the network has its own unique identifying number - the host ID. Routers use the network number to send packets to the correct network, while the host ID determines to which host on the network the packets are delivered.StructureAn IP address is made up of four parts, written in dotted decimal notation (for example, ). Each of these four parts is known as an octet. An octet is an eight-digit binary number (for example 11000000, which is 192 in decimal notation). Therefore, each octet has a possible range of 00000000 to 11111111 in binary, or 0 to 255 in decimal.
Appendix DIP Addresses and SubnettingMAX208M User s Guide194The following figure shows an example IP address in which the first three octets (192.168.1) are the network number, and the fourth octet (16) is the host ID.Figure 119 Network Number and Host IDHow much of the IP address is the network number and how much is the host ID varies according to the subnet mask. Subnet MasksA subnet mask is used to determine which bits are part of the network number, and which bits are part of the host ID (using a logical AND operation). The term "subnet# is short for "sub-network#.A subnet mask has 32 bits. If a bit in the subnet mask is a "1# then the corresponding bit in the IP address is part of the network number. If a bit in the subnet mask is "0# then the corresponding bit in the IP address is part of the host ID. The following example shows a subnet mask identifying the network number (in bold text) and host ID of an IP address (192.168.1.2 in decimal).Table 62 IP Address Network Number and Host ID Example1ST OCTET:(192)2ND OCTET:(168)3RD OCTET:(1)4TH OCTET(2)IP Address (Binary)11000000101010000000000100000010Subnet Mask (Binary) 111111111111111111111111 00000000Network Number 110000001010100000000001Host ID00000010
Appendix DIP Addresses and SubnettingMAX208M User s Guide 195By convention, subnet masks always consist of a continuous sequence of ones beginning from the leftmost bit of the mask, followed by a continuous sequence of zeros, for a total number of 32 bits.Subnet masks can be referred to by the size of the network number part (the bits with a "1# value). For example, an "8-bit mask# means that the first 8 bits of the mask are ones and the remaining 24 bits are zeroes.Subnet masks are expressed in dotted decimal notation just like IP addresses. The following examples show the binary and decimal notation for 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit and 29-bit subnet masks. Network SizeThe size of the network number determines the maximum number of possible hosts you can have on your network. The larger the number of network number bits, the smaller the number of remaining host ID bits. An IP address with host IDs of all zeros is the IP address of the network (192.168.1.0 with a 24-bit subnet mask, for example). An IP address with host IDs of all ones is the broadcast address for that network (192.168.1.255 with a 24-bit subnet mask, for example).As these two IP addresses cannot be used for individual hosts, calculate the maximum number of possible hosts in a network as follows:Table 63 Subnet MasksBINARYDECIMAL1ST OCTET2ND OCTET3RD OCTET4TH OCTET8-bit mask 11111111 00000000 00000000 00000000 255.0.0.016-bit mask11111111 11111111 00000000 00000000 255.255.0.024-bit mask11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 255.255.255.029-bit mask11111111 11111111 11111111 11111000 255.255.255.248Table 64 Maximum Host NumbersSUBNET MASK HOST ID SIZE MAXIMUM NUMBER OF HOSTS8 bits255.0.0.024 bits224 $ 21677721416 bits255.255.0.016 bits216 $ 26553424 bits255.255.255.08 bits28 $ 225429 bits255.255.255.2483 bits23 $ 26
Appendix DIP Addresses and SubnettingMAX208M User s Guide196NotationSince the mask is always a continuous number of ones beginning from the left, followed by a continuous number of zeros for the remainder of the 32 bit mask, you can simply specify the number of ones instead of writing the value of each octet. This is usually specified by writing a "/# followed by the number of bits in the mask after the address. For example, 192.1.1.0 /25 is equivalent to saying 192.1.1.0 with subnet mask 255.255.255.128. The following table shows some possible subnet masks using both notations. SubnettingYou can use subnetting to divide one network into multiple sub-networks. In the following example a network administrator creates two sub-networks to isolate a group of servers from the rest of the company network for security reasons.In this example, the company network address is 192.168.1.0. The first three octets of the address (192.168.1) are the network number, and the remaining octet is the host ID, allowing a maximum of 28 $ 2 or 254 possible hosts.Table 65 Alternative Subnet Mask NotationSUBNET MASKALTERNATIVE NOTATIONLAST OCTET (BINARY)LAST OCTET (DECIMAL)255.255.255.0 /24 0000 0000 0255.255.255.128/25 1000 0000 128255.255.255.192/26 1100 0000 192255.255.255.224/27 1110 0000 224255.255.255.240/28 1111 0000 240255.255.255.248/29 1111 1000 248255.255.255.252/30 1111 1100 252
Appendix DIP Addresses and SubnettingMAX208M User s Guide 197The following figure shows the company network before subnetting. Figure 120 Subnetting Example: Before SubnettingYou can "borrow# one of the host ID bits to divide the network 192.168.1.0 into two separate sub-networks. The subnet mask is now 25 bits (255.255.255.128 or /25).The "borrowed# host ID bit can have a value of either 0 or 1, allowing two subnets; 192.168.1.0 /25 and 192.168.1.128 /25.
Appendix DIP Addresses and SubnettingMAX208M User s Guide198The following figure shows the company network after subnetting. There are now two sub-networks, A and B. Figure 121 Subnetting Example: After SubnettingIn a 25-bit subnet the host ID has 7 bits, so each sub-network has a maximum of 27 $ 2 or 126 possible hosts (a host ID of all zeroes is the subnet s address itself, all ones is the subnet s broadcast address).192.168.1.0 with mask 255.255.255.128 is subnet A itself, and 192.168.1.127 with mask 255.255.255.128 is its broadcast address. Therefore, the lowest IP address that can be assigned to an actual host for subnet A is 192.168.1.1 and the highest is 192.168.1.126. Similarly, the host ID range for subnet B is 192.168.1.129 to 192.168.1.254.Example: Four Subnets The previous example illustrated using a 25-bit subnet mask to divide a 24-bit address into two subnets. Similarly, to divide a 24-bit address into four subnets, you need to "borrow# two host ID bits to give four possible combinations (00, 01, 10 and 11). The subnet mask is 26 bits (11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000) or 255.255.255.192.
Appendix DIP Addresses and SubnettingMAX208M User s Guide 199Each subnet contains 6 host ID bits, giving 26 - 2 or 62 hosts for each subnet (a host ID of all zeroes is the subnet itself, all ones is the subnet s broadcast address).
