Quick Configuration
1.1 Configuration Checklist
The following checklist identifies the steps for configuring your WiMAX network.
Please check each step as you complete it.
Step 1: Configure the Pico Base Station.
Step 2: Configure the Subscriber Unit.
Step 3: Configure the Subscriber Unit in AirConsole.
Step 4: Test the Subscriber Unit Connectivity.
Step 5: Monitor the Network.
1.2 Step 1: Configure the Pico Base Station
Before installing the Pico Base Station, use the following procedure to configure it.
To configure the Pico Base Station, your PC’s IP address must be on the same
subnet (192.168.0.xxx, where xxx is a number from 1 to 253) as the Pico Base
Station, and the PC’s netmask must be set to 255.255.255.0.
The Pico Base Station is configured with a default 192.168.0.254 IP address
common to all Pico Base Stations. Therefore, do not simultaneously connect
multiple un-configured Pico Base Stations to a common Local Area Network (LAN)
and try to access them using the 192.168.0.254 IP address. Prior to installing
AirSync the “Bridge IP Address” of the Pico Base Station must be changed from
192.168.0.254 to an alternate value that matches the IP schema of your network
if multiple Pico Base Stations will be managed by a single AirSync installation.
1. Use an Ethernet cable to connect the Ethernet port labeled PC on the PoE
adapter to a network-interface card (NIC) in a PC or network hub. Then
connect the other Ethernet port on the PoE adapter to the Pico Base Station.
