Raven X 1x/EV-DO

Your modem is now ready to be used as a DUN device for any applications on
your computer needing a network connection. If you have DUN installed for more
than one modem, you will need to specify in your application which DUN to use.
Unless it is the only DUN, your Raven X may not be the one your computer sees
as a default.
Hardware Installation
Note: During installation,
please be sure that the
cables are secure but do
not bear any additional
weight that could loosen
the connector from the
unit.
Your Raven X should be mounted in a position that allows easy access for the
cables so they are not bent, constricted, in close proximity to high amperage, or
exposed to extreme temperatures. The LEDs on the front panel should be visible
for ease of operational verification. You should ensure that there is adequate
airflow around the modem but that it is kept free from direct exposure to the
elements, such as sun, rain, dust, etc.
Caution:
The Raven X is in a hardened case and designed for use in industrial and
extreme environments. However, unless you are using cables expressly designed for such
environments, they can fail if exposed to the same conditions the Raven X can withstand.

Cellular
Note: This device is not
intended for use within
close proximity of the
human body. Antenna
installation should provide
for at least a 20 CM
separation from the
operator.
Antennas selected should not exceed a maximum gain of 5 dBi under standard
installation configuration. In more complex installations (such as those requiring
long lengths of cable and/or multiple connections), it’s imperative that the installer
follow maximum dBi gain guidelines in accordance with the radio communications
regulations of the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), Industry Canada
,
or
your country’s regulatory body (if used outside the US).
Your Raven X will work with most cellular antennas with a SMA connector.
Connect the primary antenna or primary RF cable directly to the antenna
connector on the back of the Raven X.
Tip:
When using a cable to an antenna placed away from the modem, minimize the length
of your cable. All gain from a more advantageous antenna placement can be lost with a
long cable to the modem.
