Power

 - Indicates the power adapter is connected and there is power getting 

to the Raven X.

The 

Reset button

 (on the left side of the Raven X) has two functions. If it is 

quickly depressed and released, the modem will simply power cycle the 
internal hardware. If, however, the reset is depressed and held for several 
seconds (count 10 slowly, and wait for the power light to go off after the light 
pattern stops), the ALEOS configuration settings will return to the factory 
defaults. 

Light Patterns

The LEDs on the front of the modem will respond in different patterns to indicate 
modem states.

Normal 

- Each LED, mentioned above, is lit as applicable.

Start  up

 - The LEDs will cycle from left to right.

PassThru mode

 - Network and Signal LEDs will blink  in tandem. The 

Activity LED will blink when transmitting or receiving data.

SOS

 - The Network and Service Err or Service LEDs will blink alternate to 

each other.

Configuration Reset

 - The LEDs will cycle left to right and then right to left 4 

times.

Authentication Failure

 - The Network, Signal, and Activity LEDs blink every 

2 seconds.

Data Retry

 - The Network, Signal, and Activity LEDs blink every 3 seconds.

Invalid MAC Address or Ethernet Initiation Fail

 - The Service LED will 

blink.

Mounting

The integrated mounting with keyhole screw mounts on the Raven X will allow you 
to secure your modem nearly anywhere, quickly and easily, without the need for a 
separate bracket.

Caution:

If you reset the modem configuration using the reset button, 

you may need to reactivate your Raven X with Alltel.
