| 507 | In a another terminal window, tail the syslog file. This will show the system messages for the wimax commands down below. This is for informational purpose. |

513 | | Edit the new /etc/wimaxd.conf file as desired, the file is heavily commented and should be self explanatory. Make sure that the network's center frequency can be found in the CenterFrequencyMHz parameter of the config file, the GENI network center frequency (2590) is not one of the default frequencies. The firmware file is copied because the utilities expect that both the macxvi350.bin and macxvi200.bin will be present when utilities are run. |
