RedMAX™ Base Station User Manual Chapter 6 6 Operational Notes 6.1 Self-Provisioning Features 6.1.1 Default Service Flows The base station automatically creates one default uplink and downlink service flow for each registered subscriber. The default service flows pass initial traffic (i.e., DHCP Discovery or PPPoE Initiation) from hosts connected to subscriber. The default service flows have the lowest QoS settings and the associated classifiers have the lowest priority.
RedMAX™ Base Station User Manual 6.1.5 Generic 802.3 DL Classifiers When host learning is enabled, 802.3 classifiers created for downlink service flows will be 'generic' type. The generic type 802.3 classifier allows all downlink Ethernet traffic addressed to any of the learned hosts on the associated subscriber. Only the priority may be adjusted on generic 802.3 classifiers. 6.1.
RedMAX™ Base Station User Manual Management messages between AN-100U and subscriber modem are protected with a HMAC digest that ensures the data was not altered over the air in any way. The authenticity of the CA's signature, and whether the CA can be trusted, can be determined by examining its certificate in turn. This chain must however end somewhere, and it does so at the root certificate, so called as it is at the root of a tree structure. Root certificates are implicitly trusted.

RedMAX™ Base Station User Manual This formula corresponds with an expectation that a very strong signal (high C/N) is able to withstand higher levels of interference (low C/I). If the signal is weak, even low interference levels will significantly degrade the useful signal. Consider the following examples: Case 1: The threshold CINR for 64 QAM 3/4 is around 23.25 dB. If the C/N ratio is 24 dB, the system will operate at 64 QAM 3/4 (signal is close to the 64 QAM 3/4 threshold, but still above it).
RedMAX™ Base Station User Manual signal reflections arrive slightly later than the primary signal. The result can be destructive interference that can essentially null out the primary signal or overlap the original signal such that it cannot be decoded. Multi-path interference is a problem with long-range links where reflections off the ground, snow, and water frequently interfere with the primary signal. It is also a problem in urban environments where the signal reflects off buildings, trees, and roads.
RedMAX™ Base Station User Manual conjunction with adaptive equalization, coding, and modulation, use of the guard interval provides reliable operation in a wide class of non line-of-sight environments. 6.4.2 Calculating Receive Sensitivity (WiMAX Testing) Overview The WiMAX test for receive sensitivity modifies the methodology from 802.16 to allow results to be obtained easier and faster. The standard Bit Error Rate (BER) of 1x10-6 remains the benchmark for these calculations.

During SMC maintenance intervals, the rate is unlimited to allow faster FTP transfers over SMC. The SMC maintenance interval can be enabled by the Redline Management Suite (RMS).

RedMAX™ Base Station User Manual If the ping is not successful, the IP address may be incorrect, or a duplicate address may exist. 3. If the current address of the terminal cannot be determined, it is recommended to perform a long-reset. Performing a long-reset restores the terminal IP address and IP Subnet Mask to the factory default values. Note that this operation may discard some custom settings.
