Chapter 1: Introduction

The RG230 WiMAX 

802.16e Self-Install 

Residential Gateway is a WiMAX subscriber 

station designed to provide Internet access for a home or small office. The unit 
provides a gateway function between a WiMAX service provider and a local 
Ethernet LAN. The device enables a service provider to deliver last mile broadband 
wireless access as an alternative to wired DSL or cable modems.

The RG230 is a plug-and-play device. There are two available models for each of 
the 2.3, 2.5, and 3.5 GHz WiMAX frequency bands. Which model you use will 
depend on the frequency band of your service provider’s WiMAX service. 

The RG230 includes four RJ-45 Ethernet switch ports for LAN connections and two 
optional RJ-11 Voice over IP (VoIP) phone ports. An 802.11b/g Wi-Fi module is 
available for the 3.5 GHz models that provides a local Wi-Fi access point service.

For the 2.5 GHz SKUs, the RG230 covers the ATC frequency band from 
2483.5 MHz up to 2690 MHz.

The following table lists the available RG230 models.

The RG230 offers a user-friendly web-based management interface for the 
configuration of all the unit’s features. Any PC directly attached to the unit can 
access the management interface using a web browser, such as Internet Explorer 
(version 6.0 or above) or Firefox (version 1.5 or above).
