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.

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.

Administrator An administrator performs the service of maintaining a network. In the case of this Router, the person who sets up the Router and makes changes to the settings. Authentication is the process to verify the identity of a client requesting network access. Base Station A WIMAX service provider’s equipment that is installed at a fixed location to provide network connectivity for subscriber stations within a defined service area. Client A computer on the network that uses the services of the Router, such as the automatic DHCP server. CPE Customer Premise Equipment is communications equipment that resides on the customer's premises. CS Convergence Sublayer. CSN Connectivity Service Network 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

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 Internet Service Provider is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations. LAN Local Area Network is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). A home network is considered a LAN.

The MAC sub-layer handles access to shared media, such as whether token passing or contention will be used. MIB Management Information Base. 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. Static IP An IP address that is manually configured and never changes.
