7.3.2 Configuring Frequency Settings
You need to set the WiMAX Modem to scan one or more specific radio frequencies to find an
available connection to a WiMAX base station.
Use the WiMAX Frequency screen to define the radio frequencies to be searched for
available wireless connections. See
Section 7.3.3 on page 79 for an example of using the
WiMAX Frequency screen.
A 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].
A 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.
Table 22 DL Frequency Example Settings
EXAMPLE 1 EXAMPLE 2
Bandwidth: 2500000 2500000
DL Frequency [1]: 2550000 2550000
DL Frequency [2] 0 2600000
DL Frequency [3]: 00
DL Frequency [4]: 00
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.
