MAX-207HW2R User’s Guide 19
CHAPTER 1
Getting Started
1.1 About Your MAX-207HW2R
The MAX-207HW2R has a built-in switch and one phone port. It allows you to
access the Internet by connecting to a WiMAX wireless network.
You can use a traditional analog telephone to make Internet calls using the MAX-
207HW2R’s Voice over IP (VoIP) communication capabilities.
You can configure firewall and content filtering as well as a host of other features.
The web browser-based Graphical User Interface (GUI), also known as the web
configurator, provides easy management.
See Chapter 20 on page 173 for a complete list of features for your model.
1.1.1 WiMAX Internet Access
Connect your computer or network to the MAX-207HW2R for WiMAX Internet
access. See the Quick Start Guide for instructions on hardware connection.
In a wireless metropolitan area network (MAN), the MAX-207HW2R connects to a
WiMAX base station (BS) for Internet access.
The following diagram shows a notebook computer equipped with the MAX-
207HW2R connecting to the Internet through a WiMAX base station (marked 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.

Chapter 1 Getting Started
MAX-207HW2R User’s Guide
20
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 for
the kids.
1.1.2 Make Calls via Internet Telephony Service Provider
In a home or small office environment, you can use the MAX-207HW2R to make
and receive the following types of VoIP telephone calls:
• Peer-to-Peer calls - Use the MAX-207HW2R to make a call directly to the
recipient’s IP address without using a SIP proxy server.
Figure 2 MAX-207HW2R’s VoIP Features - Peer-to-Peer Calls
• Calls via a VoIP service provider - The MAX-207HW2R sends your call to a VoIP
service provider’s SIP server which forwards your calls to either VoIP or PSTN
phones.
