WiMax voice and data

[mcclod]

Just got my Telkom WiMax installed due to cable theft. I had 384 adsl. I've got both voice and data. They put in a Siemens gigaset sx762, which does it's own ppoe connection (I'm assuming) and sets up voip to connect my old copper telephone number. So now I can make and receive normally billed telkom calls without copper!!! I then connected my linksys router to this router and did my usual adsl ppoe connection to get my normal data connection.

Works like a charm.

My question is, does anyone know how to get into this router. I downloaded the documentation and found it's default ip address is 192.168.2.1. It does not give out ip addresses so I changed my ip to 192.168.2.10, and could ping the router, but no web interface, seems that it has somehow been disabled. I'm curious as to how the voip has been setup, as it leads to interesting options like using a sip client and making and receiving calls to your normal landline number from anywhere in the world etc....

Any suggestions?

Hope you enjoy the Wimax... I love it, but on screamer I can get and have a 1mb connection, but the 512 is a lot better than your old 384.

AFAIK, the voip thingy is a gateway. This(well, the one I had) has DHCP, so I got the ip from it. Why are you using the router?

Yup I enjoy my wimax as well, just had telkom knocking on my door, telling me phoneline is not working (I was a bit puzzled and I checked my phone it was dead, telkom actually discovered it before I did They stole the copper again) But lucky I have my wimax now for about 3 weeks so my internet is still going strong

What were the costs involved in getting your WiMax through telkom?

It's pretty cheap, installation i think is R490 and the monthly rental is R240. Then you can use any ISP of your choice.

My setup looks like this

POTS line (VOIP 1 port on gigaset)​

ODU === IDU === Gigaset SX 762 (WAN port on Gigaset)

Linksys WRT54GL (LAN on gigaset to WAN on Linksys)​

Linksys does my PPPOE connection
Gigagset must support bridge mode to allow PPPOE through. The gigaset must be disabled in some way, no web administration, no telnet, no wireless, all disabled, but it does it's own PPPOE connection to set up a SIP account to enable my 011314xxxx number.

It's pretty cheap, installation i think is R490 and the monthly rental is R240. Then you can use any ISP of your choice.

If you're suffering from cable theft, and you had a line before, then the installation cost is waived

Just had wimax installed. They installed a Gigaset SX762 router. When you read the manual, it supports pppoe and wifi. apparently telkom have disabled this function. I still have to use my telkom mega 105wr router. I just cant seem to get the pppoe connection setup in the router. I have to do a dial up connection form my laptop. the problem is that i then cant use my desktop. Has anyone found a way around this so as to minimise redundant equipment.

Hi All,
Be carefull - the Gigaset model SX 762 comes in 2 flavours (both look the same) the one you get at the TSA direct shop is an ADSL modem with all features.

The one installed for voice - VOIP - although it looks the same is programmed differently - wireless has been disabled and other features work only for VOIP and ONE data line (when the data service is activated) Getting into this device is nigh on impossible.
The one you can buy can be accessed, the one installed to give voice belongs to TSA and as such they do not want you to get in there. These units are NOT interchangeable so if anyone tells you to go and get a unit and swop it I suggest don't do it. The VOIP will allow PPPOE connections from a computer but if you want to network you need a router - Linksys WRT 54 G or better (suggestion) it is fast and easy to setup.

Hope that helps

Wireless broadband point to point connectivity provides flexible, low cost alternatives for cellular and WI-FI hotspot backhaul at distances up to 40 miles (65Kms) at data up to 1 Gbps (depending on frequency, distance, antennas, etc.).The explosive growth of WI-Fi hotspots has created a tremendous need for reliable, cost effective data backhaul. Cellular carriers are also increasing using long-range wireless broadband as a means to deliver voice and data back to their network gateways.

Wow, sounds so perfect! From which wireless provider's website did you copy and paste
