1 INTRODUCTION
The PointMAX 3000 and PointMAX 3000V CPEs are 2.5 GHz indoor
WiMAX IEEE 802.16e CPEs that include either an RJ-45 LAN port and two
RJ-11 phone ports, or just a single RJ-45 LAN port. The CPEs are WiMAX
wireless access subscriber stations with a built-in high-capacity Internet
gateway, ideal for a home or small office. Each system provides network
connections that are always on, supporting immediate access to the
Internet and other IP services at high data rates. The unit provides a
gateway function between a WiMAX service provider and a local Ethernet
LAN. The device enables a service provider to deliver last mile broadband
wireless access as an alternative to wired DSL or cable modems.
The initial configuration steps can be made through the web browser
interface using the Setup Wizard. It is recommended to make the initial
changes by connecting a PC directly the devices LAN port.

7 NAT SETTINGS
This chapter describes NAT settings on the CPE. It includes the following
sections:
VIRTUAL SERVER
If you configure the CPE as a virtual server, remote users accessing
services such as web sites or FTP servers on your local network through
public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local servers
configured with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the
requested service (designated by the TCP/UDP port number), the CPE
redirects the external service request to the appropriate server (located at
an internal IP address). This secures your network from direct attack by
hackers, and provides more flexible management by allowing you to
change internal IP addresses without affecting outside access to local
network services.
49
CHAPTER 7 | NAT Settings
Virtual Server
For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or web) and the
Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP requests from outside
users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on port 80. Therefore, by just
entering the IP address provided by the ISP, Internet users can access the
service they need at the local address to which you redirect them.
The more common TCP service port numbers include: HTTP: 80, FTP: 21,
Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110.
Rule Name From the drop down menu select the protocol to use.
Private Port Specifies the local LAN TCP/UDP port number. (Range:

57
CHAPTER 9 | Management Settings
SNMP
SNMP
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is a communication protocol
designed specifically for managing devices on a network. Equipment
commonly managed with SNMP includes switches, routers and host
computers. SNMP is typically used to configure these devices for proper
operation in a network environment, as well as to monitor them to evaluate
performance or detect potential problems.
The CPE includes an onboard agent that supports SNMP versions 1, 2c, and
3 clients. This agent continuously monitors the status of the CPE, as well as
the traffic passing to and from wireless clients. A network management
station can access this information using SNMP management software that
is compliant with MIB II. To implement SNMP management, the CPE must
first have an IP address and subnet mask, configured either manually or
dynamically. Access to the onboard agent using SNMP v1 and v2c is
controlled by community strings. To communicate with the CPE, the
management station must first submit a valid community string for
authentication.
Access to the CPE using SNMP v3 provides additional security features that
cover message integrity, authentication, and encryption; as well as
controlling notifications that are sent to specified user targets.
58
10 VOIP SETTINGS (POINTMAX 3000V)
The PointMAX 3000V uses Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) as the control
mechanism that sets up, initiates, and terminates calls between a caller
and a called party. The SIP messaging makes use of Proxy, Redirect,
and Registration servers to process call requests and find the location of
called parties across the Internet. When SIP has set up a call between two
parties, the actual voice communication is a direct peer-to-peer connection
using the standard Real-Time Protocol (RTP), which streams the encoded
voice data across the network.
You can make VoIP calls by connecting a regular phone to one of the CPEs
RJ-11 Phone ports. You can also make VoIP calls from your computer using
a VoIP application with a simple microphone and computer speakers. Using
either method, VoIP provides an experience identical to normal
telephoning.
The CPE allows the two RJ-11 Phone ports to be configured separately with
different settings.
This chapter describes the VoIP settings on the CPE. It includes the
following sections:

Keep Alive I/O Period The length of time, in seconds, to keep the
SIP connection open. (Default: 57600 seconds)
SIP SETTING
The SIP Setting page allows you to configure RTP and DTMF settings.
DIAL PLAN
Dial-plan strings specify key sequences used for specific calling features
(Transfer, New Call, 3-way conference), as well as defining call restriction
filters.
A dial plan can filter the number and pattern of digits that a user dials to
reach a particular telephone number. Access codes, area codes, specialized
codes, and combinations of the number of digits dialed can all be part of a
dial plan. This enables a user to predefine dialling sequences that are
permitted.
Three standard dial plans are defined; Call Transfer Key, New Call Key, and
3-way Conference. Up to 10 other dial plans can be defined by the user.
61
CHAPTER 10 | VoIP Settings (PointMAX 3000V)
Dial Plan
The function of elements allowed in a dial plan are described in the table
below:
0-9 01xx Indicates dialed digits that must be matched. This example only
allows four-digit numbers starting 01.
t xx.t The timeout indicator that can placed after dialed digits or at the
end of the dial-plan string.
When a user dials a series of digits, the dial-plan rule is tested for a
possible match. If a match is made, the dialed sequence is transmitted. If
no match is made, the dialed number is blocked and the user will hear an
error tone.

service set, and to maintain contact with wireless clients.
BROADCAST KEY Broadcast keys are sent to stations using dynamic keying. Dynamic
broadcast key rotation is often used to allow the CPE to generate a random
group key and periodically update all key-management capable wireless
clients.
ENCRYPTION Data passing between the CPE and clients can use encryption to protect
from interception and evesdropping.

GLOSSARY
HYPERTEXT TRANSFER HTTP is a standard used to transmit and receive all data over the World
PROTOCOL (HTTP) Wide Web.
MAC ADDRESS The physical layer address used to uniquely identify network nodes.
NETWORK TIME NTP provides the mechanisms to synchronize time across the network. The
PROTOCOL (NTP) time servers operate in a hierarchical-master-slave configuration in order
to synchronize local clocks within the subnet and to national time
standards via wire or radio.
OPEN SYSTEM A security option which broadcasts a beacon signal including the CPEs
configured SSID. Wireless clients can read the SSID from the beacon, and
automatically reset their SSID to allow immediate connection to the
nearest CPE.
ORTHOGONAL OFDM allows multiple users to transmit in an allocated band by dividing the
FREQUENCY DIVISION bandwidth into many narrow bandwidth carriers.
MULTIPLEXING (ODFM)
SERVICE SET IDENTIFIER An identifier that is attached to packets sent over the wireless LAN and
(SSID) functions as a password for joining a particular radio cell; i.e., Basic Service
Set (BSS).
SESSION KEY Session keys are unique to each client, and are used to authenticate a
client connection, and correlate traffic passing between a specific client and
the CPE.

GLOSSARY
SHARED KEY A shared key can be used to authenticate each client attached to a wireless
network. Shared Key authentication must be used along with the 802.11
Wireless Equivalent Privacy algorithm.
SIMPLE NETWORK TIME SNTP allows a device to set its internal clock based on periodic updates
PROTOCOL (SNTP) from a Network Time Protocol (NTP) server. Updates can be requested from
a specific NTP server, or can be received via broadcasts sent by NTP
servers.
TEMPORAL KEY A data encryption method designed as a replacement for WEP. TKIP avoids
INTEGRITY PROTOCOL the problems of WEP static keys by dynamically changing data encryption
(TKIP) keys.
TRIVIAL FILE TRANSFER A TCP/IP protocol commonly used for software downloads.
PROTOCOL (TFTP)
VIRTUAL CPE (VAP) Virtual AP technology multiplies the number of CPEs present within the RF
footprint of a single physical access device. With Virtual AP technology,
WLAN users within the device.s footprint can associate with what appears
to be different CPEs and their associated network services. All the services
are delivered using a single radio channel, enabling Virtual AP technology
to optimize the use of limited WLAN radio spectrum.
WI-FI PROTECTED WPA employs 802.1X as its basic framework for user authentication and
ACCESS dynamic key management to provide an enhanced security solution for
802.11 wireless networks.
WIRED EQUIVALENT WEP is based on the use of security keys and the popular RC4 encryption
PRIVACY (WEP) algorithm. Wireless devices without a valid WEP key will be excluded from
network traffic.
WPA PRE-SHARED KEY WPA-PSK can be used for small office networks with a limited number of
(WPA-PSK) users that may not need a high level of security. WPA-PSK provides a
simple security implementation that uses just a pre-shared password for
network access.
