Table 87 OMA-DM (continued)

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Server Port

Enter the port number for the IP address of the OMA-DM server set up in the

 

preceding field.

 

 

Server Auth Type

Select the encryption algorithm scheme used by the OMA-DM server to

 

communicate with client devices. If the scheme selected here does not match

 

the actual scheme used by the server, then server will challenge the WiMAX

 

Device to automatically update its settings.

 

None - No authentication.

 

Basic - Server ID and Password are encoded using a Basic Access

 

Authentication Code.

 

Digest (MD5) - Server ID and Password are encoded using a Digest Access

 

Authentication Code.

 

HMAC - Server ID and Password are encoded using a keyed Hash Message

 

Authentication Code.

 

 

Server ID

Enter the identification code for the server. This is used by the WiMAX Device

 

during the communication handshake process to identify the server.

 

 

Server Password

Enter the password for the server’s identification code. This shared public key is

 

used by the WiMAX Device during the communication handshake process to

 

identify the server.

 

 

Server Nonce

The WiMAX Device and the OMA-DM server use nonces to authenticate each

 

other if you select MD5 as the authentication algorithm in the Server Auth

 

Type field. Nonce is an abbreviation of 'number used once'. It is normally a

 

random or pseudo-random number applied in an authentication protocol to

 

protect existing communications from being reused in ‘replay attacks’.

 

Type up to 20 digits for the OMA-DM server nonce.

 

 

Client Auth Type

Select the encryption algorithm scheme used by the OMA-DM server to

 

communicate with client devices. If the scheme selected here does not match

 

the actual scheme used by the server, then server will challenge the WiMAX

 

Device to automatically update its settings.

 

None - No authentication.

 

Basic - Server ID and Password are encoded using a Basic Access

 

Authentication Code.

 

Digest (MD5) - Server ID and Password are encoded using a Digest Access

 

Authentication Code.

 

HMAC - Server ID and Password are encoded using a keyed Hash Message

 

Authentication Code.

 

Note: Make sure that the scheme selected here matches the Server Auth Type.

 

 

Client ID

Enter the client name for the WiMAX Device.

 

 

Client Password

Enter the password for the WiMAX Device’s client name.

 

 

Client Nonce

The WiMAX Device and the OMA-DM server use nonces to authenticate each

 

other if you select MD5 as the authentication algorithm in the Client Auth Type

 

field.

 

Type up to 20 digits for the OMA-DM client nonce.

 

 

Periodical Client-

Select this to allow the WiMAX Device to periodically connect to the OMA-DM

Initiated Enable

server and check for configuration updates.

 

If you do not enable this feature then the WiMAX Device can only be updated

 

automatically when the OM-DM server initiates contact with it and if you selected

 

the checkbox on this screen.

 

 

Periodical Client-

Enter the time interval (in seconds) at which the WiMAX Device connects to the

Initiated Interval

OMA-DM server.
