User’s Guide

Note: It may take several minutes for the WiMAX Modem to find a connection.

• The WiMAX Modem searches the DL Frequency settings in ascending numerical 

order, from [1] to [9].

Note: The Bandwidth field is not user-configurable; when the WiMAX Modem finds a 

WiMAX connection, its frequency is displayed in this field.

• If you enter a 0 in a DL Frequency field, the WiMAX Modem immediately 

moves on to the next DL Frequency field.

• When the WiMAX Modem connects to a base station, the values in this screen 

are automatically set to the base station’s frequency. The next time the WiMAX 

Modem searches for a connection, it searches only this frequency. If you want 

the WiMAX Modem to search other frequencies, enter them in the DL 

Frequency fields.

The following table describes some examples of DL Frequency settings.

In this example, your Internet service provider has given you a list of supported 
frequencies: 2.51, 2.525, 2.6, and 2.625. 

In the DL Frequency [1] field, enter 2510000 (2510000 kilohertz (kHz) is equal 
to 2.51 gigahertz).

In the DL Frequency [2] field, enter 2525000.

In the DL Frequency [3] field, enter 2600000.

The WiMAX Modem 
searches at 2500000 
kHz, and then searches 
at 2550000 kHz if it has 
not found a connection.

The WiMAX Modem 
searches at 2500000 kHz 
and then at 2550000 kHz if 
it has not found an 
available connection. If it 
still does not find an 
available connection, it 
searches at 2600000 kHz.
