Abstract: A method for setting parameter identities of a worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WIMAX) customer premises equipments (CPE) which includes a plurality of parameter groups and a plurality of critical parameter groups correspondingly, each critical parameter group includes a plurality of critical parameter identities correlative to each other. The WIMAX CPE receives a setting package from a server and determines whether the setting package contains critical parameter identities of a critical parameter group. If the setting package contains critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group, the WIMAX CPE determines whether the setting package contains all critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group. If the setting package misses at least one critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group, the WIMAX CPE waits to receiving the missing critical parameter identities until receiving all critical parameter identities of the critical parameter group.
