Getting Started
1.1 Overview
This product is a WiMAX subscriber station system comprised of an outdoor unit
(ODU) and an indoor unit (IDU). The ODU connects to the WiMAX network while
the IDU is the management point between the WiMAX network (via the ODU) and
your computer/local area network. The IDU can also function as a Wi-Fi access
point to the WiMAX network.
Note: This User’s Guide is concerned strictly with the IDU, hereafter referred to as the
“WiMAX Device”. In the following figures both the IDU and ODU may be shown,
but all configuration options are for the IDU alone.
