CHAPTER 1
Getting Started
1.1 About Your WiMAX Device
The WiMAX Device has a built-in switch that 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 and the browser-based user interface -
- the Web Configurator -- provides easy management.
See Chapter 14 on page 191 for a complete list of features for your model.
1.1.1 WiMAX Internet Access
Connect 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 Station
When 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.
