Introduction

Your MAX208M lets your computer connect wirelessly to the Internet at

broadband speeds.

How It Works

A computer connects to the MAX208M (A). The device then connects

wirelessly to a WiMAX base station (B), which connects to the Internet.

Package Content

System Requirement

The computer you will use to access the device’s Web Configurator must

meet the following minimum requirements:

• 64 MB RAM

• 20 MB of available hard disk space

• One available 10/100 Mbps Ethernet port

• Internet Explorer 6, Firefox 1.5 and higher, or a compatible browser

Setting Up Your Modem

This section shows you how to set up your WiMAX Modem.

Connecting the Antennas

Attach the external antennas to their connectors as follows:

Hardware Connections

You will need a valid WiMAX account to connect to the Internet.

1. Connect the Power Adapter. During start up, the Power LED blinks

as the MAX208M self-tests, then it shines a steady green.

2. Connect one end of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable to one of the LAN

ports, and the other end to the computer that you intend to connect to

the Internet. Once connected to the LAN, the LAN LED shines a

steady green. It blinks when there is activity.

Placing the MAX208M

When you are placing the MAX208M, be careful of the following:

ENGLISH

• Place the MAX208M indoors in an area free of moisture and

excessive humidity and/or heat.

• Keep the MAX208M away from other wireless devices, cordless

phones, microwave devices, or radio transmitters as they may

interfere with its connections.

• Keep the MAX208M free of obstruction.

Connecting to the Internet

This section shows you how to connect to the Internet with your

MAX208M.

1. Check your MAX208M’s WiMAX Link LED.

• If everything is connected properly and a WiMAX base station is

within range, then the WiMAX Link LED shines a steady green,

indicating a stable connection. The Strength Indicator LEDs will

turn on to show the signal strength as follows: LED 1 - low strength

signal; LEDs 1 and 2 - medium strength signal; LEDs 1, 2 and 3 -

high strength signal. If the signal strength is low or medium, you

can try to adjust the position of the device to increase the strength.

Go to step 2.

• If the WiMAX Link LED is blinking, then the MAX208M is

undergoing a self-test. If it turns a steady green shortly thereafter,

this indicates a stable connection. Go to step 2.

• If the WiMAX Link LED remains off or continues blinking, you will

not be able to connect. See the User’s Guide for more

troubleshooting steps.

2. Open a web browser.

• If your service provider’s WiMAX login page appears instead of

your default Home page, enter the login information that you were

given and follow the on-screen instructions. The MAX208M should

then automatically update itself with the settings that you need to

connect to the Internet.

• If your service provider’s WiMAX login page does not appear, then

you may need to manually set up the Internet connection (next

section).

Internet Connection Setup

This section shows you how to manually configure the MAX208M’s

Internet connection.

1. Open a web browser and enter http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar.

2. Enter the default User Name and Password (see the cover page of

this guide), and then click Login.

ENGLISH

3. The System Status screen appears. Click on the Setup Wizard

button, located on the upper right corner of the screen.

4. When the Setup Wizard opens, review the steps you will take to

configure your MAX208M then click Next to continue.

Follow the wizard until all the steps are completed. The LAN and WiMAX

setting required by the Setup Wizard should be given by your service

providers.

5. LAN Settings: Configure the network settings that allow devices

connected to your MAX208M to get on the Internet or connect to

other network services. Then Click Next.
