The

ISP
(Internet
Service
Provider)
to
connect
you
to
the
Internet.
Steps of a connection:
1.
When
your
Raven

is
powered
on,
it
automatically
searches
for
cellular
service
using
1x.
2.
Your
Raven
‐
E
establishes
a
PPP
(Point

Point
Protocol
or
“dial”
up
connection)
link
to
the
Alltel
network,
also
called
registering
on
the
network,
and
receives
an
IP
address.
3.

received
its
IP
address

a
connection
