How to change the connecting criteria to “by RSSI” or “by CINR”? Select the criteria at Web GUIWiMAXProfileAuto Connect Mode. How to display the current connecting frequency? Navigate to Web GUIWiMAXConnectConnected BS info. How to check the real time RSSI and CINR? They are available at Status page.
Why is the modulation being fixed at QPSK1/2, even at very good RSSI/CINR? The causes might be the BS has been locked only for certain brand of CPEs, please check BS settings to see whether our CPE is registered on the BS. How do we check whether the CPE sends out an EAP request? You can get the message using the UDT tool.
