Note：
Chapter 2 Introduction - 6 -

Be sure to your ZMAX-8210 is connected the ground wire, preventing something
unexpected.
Antenna Installation
16dBi built-in antenna is placed in the ZMAX-8210, so you need not install antenna.
The ZMAX-8210-E needs an external antenna. You should choose your antenna as your need.
Warnin
g
：
Keep your ZMAX-8210 associated with the antenna away from power line, lamp,
electrified wire fence or anything others electrified.
Though a thunder-proof component is built in, it is recommended that additional
thunder-proof device is needed for effectively protecting your ZMAX-8210.

How to Login Your ZMAX-8210 via WEB Browser
ZMAX -8210 provides you with user-friendly web-based management. Take the following steps
Enter the ZMAX-8210 via IE. When entering the IP address: http://192.168.1.1, you’ll see a popup
menu below:
Chapter 3 - 8 -

Figure 5 Safety Alert
Clicking “Yes” ushers you into the login.
Figure 6 Login
Note：
Make sure the PC IP address need to be matched the device. For instance, the
ZMAX-8210 is 192.168.1.1, and your PC IP should be 192.168.1. X.
Enter the default name “admin” in the username field and “password” in the password field。Clicking
“Login now ”will usher you into the ZMAX-8210 management interface.
Chapter 3 Basic Settings - 9 -

Figure 7 ZMAX-8210 General Information
Device Name
Clicking“Basic Settings”，you’ll see the ZMAX-8210Name. You may assign any device name to this
CPE. This name is only used by the CPE administrator for identification purposes. Unique, memorable
names are helpful, especially if you are employing multiple access points on the same network. This
name is composed of 15 characters with 0-9, A-Z, a-z or “-“.
Figure 8 ZMAX-8210 CPE Name
“WINS” enabled, you have the alternative of entering management page by entering the Device name
instead of painfully writing out IPAddress. For example, you can specify the name as “device030201”.
So entering“device030201”will lead you to the management site. Also, Ping device030201 helps you
check whether WINS can take effective in the ZMAX-8210.
Note：
Chapter 3 Basic Settings - 10 -

By default, the ZMAX-8210 CPE is Devicexxxxxx(xxxxxx represents the last 6
digits of MAC address).
No figure is allowed to represent initial.
When WINS undertakes interpreting, make sure the PC IP address need to be
matched the CPE. For instance, the ZMAX-8210 is 192.168.1.1, and your PC IP
should be 192.168.1. X.
Bridge and Router Mode
The ZMAX-8210 is capable of working under bridge and router modes.
Opening“IP Settings”will navigate you to the configuring mode page.
Figure 9 Configure the ZMAX-8210 to Bridge
The ZMAX-8210 provides bridge and router modes. Under the bridge mode, you are required to set
IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and Primary (Second) DNS Server. For Router mode,
refer to “Set Router Mode”.
IPAddress
The ZMAX-8210 provides two options of obtaining IP addresses, static IP address and dynamic address
from DHCP Server.
STATIC：Manually set the ZMAX-8210 IP address subnet Mask, Default Gateway and Primary
(Second) DNS Server. 255.255.255.0 is usually taken as the subnet mask.
DHCP Client：Alternatively, the ZMAX-8210 can obtain IPaddress subnet Mask, Default Gateway
and Primary (Second) DNS Server from DHCP Server.
Note：
Chapter 3 Basic Settings - 11 -

If you fail to obtain IP address for the ZMAX-8210, the CPE will turn to the client
address for use.
Wireless Parameters
Opening“Radio Settings can lead you to the ZMAX-8210 wireless parameters. You can set what you
desire.
Figure 10 ZMAX-8210 Wireless Parameters
Base Station ID：This field allows you to enter the Base Station ID you want to connect, to establish
a tie between this CPE and the Base Station.
Duplex Mode：This field allows you to have the options of TDD and HFDD modes.
Under the Duplex Mode, you are required to keep the consistency in setting between
the ZMAX-8210 and the Base station.
Center Frequency：This field helps you to scan the center frequency that the linked device performs
and shows the frequency in this field.
CP Size：This field displays the ratio of hardware MTU (maximum transmission unit) before
rotating this device.
Bandwidth：This field provides the bandwidth when this device is undertaking tasks. You can get
two options-- 3.5MHz and7MHz.
Note：
Note：
The bandwidth shall be in the complete accord between the ZMAX-8210 and the
Base Station connected.
Frame Length：This field displays the frame length that the ZMAX-8210 can obtain from other
Chapter 3 Basic Settings - 12 -

devices.
Encryption：This field provides encryption options.
When the communication is established, the encryption shall be completely
identical between the ZMAX-8210 and the Base Station,
IR Bit：This field identifies whether forward “initial ranging data”。
There shall be in complete accord in the parameters between IR Bit and Base
Station.
Create a Link between the ZMAX-8210 and WiMAX
Base Station
Acting as a customer premise equipment (CPE), the ZMAX-8210 aims at establish a tie with WiMAX
Base Station to enable IP network to be connected to main arteries. We’ll elaborate how to build the
infrastructure via the ZMAX-8210. The CPE has access to connect to the WiMAX Base Station via the
Base Station ID. However, the Duplex Mode, Bandwidth and IR Bit shall conform to the requirements
set when creating a link between the ZMAX-8210 and the Base Station.
Take the following steps to build your infrastructure.
Connect this CPE to PC via a cable. And assign 192.168.1.100 as your PC IPAddress.
Basic Settings - 13 -
Figure 11 Build the Infrastructure with WiMAX Base Station
Enter the ZMAX-8210 web-based management. And set proper parameters in the “Base Station
ID”, “Duplex Mode”,“Bandwidth”,“Encryption”and“IR Bit”fields, respectively to establish
a link between your CPE and the WiMAX Base Station.
Note：

Note：
Chapter 3

The parameters set in the ZMAX-8210 shall match the ones in the WiMAX Base
Station, when the tie is established.
Using “ping” to check whether the communication is sound. Take an example as follows.
Ping 192.168.1.1 to check the communication between the ZMAX-8210 and PC.
192.168.1.200 check the communication between the ZMAX-8210 and WiMAX Base Station.
If you fail to ping, please see Troubleshooting.
