devices. The Host RJ-11 IP Gateway may sustain damage not

covered by warranty if it is connected to the Public Switched

Telephone Network.

Before You Start

Caution: If the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway and Raven X or Raven-E (as

applicable) are going to be on a hub which is connected to a local

network, you will need to be sure the addresses you select are not

used by any other device on the network. Consult with your network

administrator if you are unsure.

Configuring your Raven X for

the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway

Rev 3.0 B 2/29/08 7

Note: While this guide application note covers installing an RJ-11 IP

Gateway with a Raven X, the RJ-11 IP Gateway is also designed to

work with the Raven-E and any other Airlink modem with an Ethernet

connection, using the same configuration outlined here

IP Gateway to a Raven X.

Note: The Host RJ-11 IP Gateway is set to a default static IP address

IP Gateway, use Public Mode to set the static IP address for the

modem and gateway.

Tip: If the modem and the Host RJ-11 IP Gateway are going to be on

a LAN with other computers and devices you may want to use Private

Mode. On a LAN, a DHCP server other than the modem may give the

Host RJ-11 IP Gateway an IP address to which the modem would not

know to send its messages.
