Chapter 1: Introduction
The RG230 WiMAX Residential Gateway is a WiMAX subscriber station designed to
provide Internet access for a home or small office. 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 RG230 is a plug-and-play indoor unit (IDU). There are two available models for
each of the 2.3, 2.5, and 3.5 GHz WiMAX frequency bands. Which model you use
will depend on the frequency band of your service provider’s WiMAX service. The
RG230 models also include built-in WiMAX antennas, either standard
“omnidirectional” type or high-performance “switched-beam” type.
The RG230 includes four RJ-45 Ethernet switch ports for LAN connections and two
RJ-11 Voice over IP (VoIP) phone ports. An 802.11b/g Wi-Fi module is available for
the 3.5 GHz models that provides a local Wi-Fi access point service.
The following table lists the available RG230 models.
The RG230 offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for the
configuration of all the unit’s features. Any PC directly attached to the unit can
access the management interface using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer
(version 6.0 or above) or Firefox (version 1.5 or above).
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 to one of the RG230’s LAN ports.

2.3 GHz RG230-2.3-4D2V-Omni Including omnidirectional antennas.
RG230-2.3-4D2V-Switch Including switched-beam antennas.
2.5 GHz RG230-2.5-4D2V-Omni Including omnidirectional antennas.
RG230-2.5-4D2V-Switch Including switched-beam antennas.
3.5 GHz RG230-3.5-4D2V1W-Omni Including omnidirectional antennas and Wi-Fi.
RG230-3.5-4D2V1W-Switch Including switched-beam antennas and Wi-Fi.

RG230 Hardware Description
The front of the RG230 provides an array of system status indicators. The back
includes four LAN ports for 10/100 Mbps Ethernet connections, two RJ-11 Voice
over IP (VoIP) phone ports, and a DC power jack.
The following figures show the external components of the RG230:

Scan Button
Press the button for less than 3 seconds to start a partial scan to find the best of
known frequency channels. Press and hold down the button for longer than
3 seconds to perform a full frequency scan of all channels.
Reset Button
This button is used to reset the RG230 or restore the factory default configuration. If
you press the button for less than 1 second, the unit will perform a hardware reset. If
you press and hold down the button for 5 seconds or more, any configuration
changes you may have made are removed, and the factory default configuration is
restored to the unit.
WiMAX Antennas
Two internal antennas are built into the RG230 for WiMAX communications. Either
“omnidirectional” or “switched-beam” antennas, depending on the model. The
omnidirectional antennas transmit and receive signals in all directions equally. The
switched-beam antennas detect the direction of the service provider’s base station
and only transmit and receive signals in that direction. Models with the built-in
switched-beam antennas provide better WiMAX performance than those with the
omnidirectional antennas.
WiMAX External Antenna Connectors
Two connectors are available on the top of the unit for attaching optional external
antennas. Depending on a user’s location, the use of an external antenna may
provide a better connection to a WiMAX base station. External antennas also offer
various possible mounting locations.

Status Description
On Green The unit has a network association with a WiMAX base station.
Flashing Green Indicates one of the following conditions:
• When flashing with three of the WiMAX signal LEDs turned on,
indicates authentication has failed.
• When flashing with one of the WiMAX signal LEDs turned on, indicates
authentication has timed out.
On Orange Indicates one of the following conditions:
• After power on, indicates the unit is running its self test.
• The unit is in scan mode or selecting the base station with the
strongest signal.
• Indicates the network entry process has restarted.
Flashing Orange The unit is being reset to factory defaults.
On Red A system failure has occured.
Off No power is being supplied to the unit.
