User's Manual

PureWave Quantum base stations support the standard WiMAX R6 (Profile C) and, at the time
of writing, have been interoperability tested with the following ASN-GWs:
• WiChorus ASN-GW: Master Intelligent Packet Processor (IPP) SW version 2.1.1-193
(With Built-In Radius Server)
• Cisco ASN-GW: Cisco Broadband Wireless Gateway (BWG) Release 2.0 for Cisco IOS.
Version Release 12.4 (20091215:091801)
PureWave Quantum Base Stations also incorporate internal ASN-GW functionality that allows
them to alternatively be deployed without an external ASN-GW in small to mid-sized
deployments.
2.4.2.4 DHCP
A DHCP server is used to provide IP Address Assignment to subscriber stations. There are a
number of ways this can be set up, depending upon the network elements in use. This topic is
discussed in depth later in this manual.
2.4.2.5 TR-69 (Technical Report 069)
TR-69 is a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP based protocol that is used for Over-The-Air (OTA)
provisioning and software upgrade of subscriber devices. Communication takes place between
subscriber devices and an Auto Configuration Server (ACS) and is transparent to the base
station.
2.4.3 Applications
The performance offered by WiMAX enables such a vast set of possible applications that a
discussion of them here could not possibly do them justice. Categories include personal mobile
broadband for data and video, VoIP, video surveillance, public safety, utilities, Smart-Grid, oil &
gas, education, mining, backhaul needs, etc. The possibilites are endless.
As every application is different, each requires a unique network and configuration settings to
assure optimal spectral utilization and performance. In this guide as well as the PureView NMS
User’s Manual we show how to bring up and configure the system under particular sets of
assumptions, and we explain all the settings at one’s disposal in optimizing the network for any
arbitrary application.
