1.1 Functions
The EchoLife WiMAX Customer-Premises Equipment (CPE) (hereinafter referred to as
the CPE) is a next-generation gateway used in a Worldwide Interoperability for
Microwave Access (WiMAX) network. The CPE provides you a new service experience.
With the CPE, you can enjoy wireless broadband services. With the CPE, home and
enterprise users can easily set up a wireless network and enjoy the services over the
network.
VoIP Service
z Supporting the Voice over IP (VoIP) service based on the Session Initiation Protocol
(SIP)
z Supporting the voice compression technology
z Providing high-quality voice services
Enhanced Throughput
z Supporting the downlink bandwidth of up to 15 Mbit/s and the uplink bandwidth of
up to 5 Mbit/s
z Supporting multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO)
z Supporting Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), which
increases spectrum utilization
Various Services
z Providing a Web-based utility with a user-friendly graphical user interface (GUI)
and abundant help information
z Supporting both local and remote upgrade of the CPE
z By default, the IP address of the CPE is 192.168.1.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
z It is recommended that the IP address and DNS settings be obtained automatically.
Step 2 Start the Internet Explorer, enter http://192.168.1.1 in the address bar, and then press
Enter.
Step 3 Enter the user name and the password in the login window that is displayed, and then
click Login.
The NAT function is enabled to facilitate the translation of IP addresses. Through NAT, the
host IP address of a LAN can be effectively hidden. Thus, the security of the intranet is
ensured. Two NAT types are available:
z Network Address Port Translation (NAPT)
z Cone NAT
Step 5 Click Apply.

Step 5 Enter the IP address in the IP Address text box.
Step 6 Enter the subnet mask in the Subnet Mask text box.
Step 7 Enter the default gateway in the Default Gateway text box.
Step 8 Enter the IP address of the primary domain name server (DNS) in the Primary DNS
Server text box.
Step 9 Enter the IP address of the secondary DNS in the Secondary DNS Server text box.
IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, Primary DNS Server, Secondary DNS
Server are provided by the carrier.
Step 10 Click Apply.
