Redwing CDMA for Alltel - Quick Start, version 2.40
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 AirLink
modem may not be the one your computer sees as a default.
Your AirLink Redwing should be mounted in a position that allows easy access for the cables so
they are not bent or constricted. The LEDs on the front panel should be visible for ease of opera-
tional verification. You should ensure that there is adequate airflow around the modem but that it is
kept free from direct exposure to the elements (sun, rain, etc.)
Your Redwing can be used with either DC (available in most automobiles) or 110 AC (standard
US wall power) with the appropriate power adapter (available from AirLink).
The power cable positive lead should be connected to the battery or power source positive termi-
nal. The power cable negative lead should be connected to the battery or power source negative ter-
minal. The Redwing has an internal polysilicon circuit breaker that opens at 0.5 to 1.0 amps of
current.
Hardware Installation
An optional accessory for your modem is a mounting kit. The bracket is designed to snugly cra-
dle the modem and hold it in place where you need it.
Connecting the Antenna
Antennas selected should not exceed a maximum gain of 5 dBi under standard installation config-
uration. In more complex installations (such as those requiring long lengths of cable and/or multi-
ple connections), it’s imperative that the installer follow maximum dBi gain guidelines in
accordance with the FFC’s, regulations.
Your AirLink Redwing will work with most Dual-Band PCS cellular antennas with a TNC con-
nector that works in the high and low frequencies of CDMA . Connect the antenna or RF cable
directly to the TNC connector on the back of the Redwing.
