3. Connecting a PC to the CPE s Power Injector with a

crossover cable and configuring the CPE s radio
modem. You can also change CPE IP address
(optional).

4. Testing BTS to CPE wireless communications using

an attached PC.

Initial TCP/IP Configuration

All AirMAX systems come factory preset with a default IP
address (192.168.1.1) to simplify network configuration.
At configuration you then can change the default IP to a
customer-provided valid IP on your LAN. Before
configuring the AirMAX system, ensure that you know the
IP addresses, router IP address (sometimes called
gateway IP), and subnet mask that will be used for the
AirMAX CPE or BTS system. Your network administrator
should be able to provide you with the proper values.

Also, ensure that a PC with an internet browser is
available that has connectivity to the AirMAX system
Power Injector, either via a LAN connection (hub or
switch) or by direct connection via an ethernet crossover
cable. You will be using this PC to configure the AirMAX
BTS and CPE units.
