Caution: The Host RJ-11 IP Gateway's RJ-11 phone port should
never be connected into the Public Switched Telephone Network
(PSTN). This device is designed to emulate the PSTN for other
devices. The Host RJ-11 IP Gateway may sustain damage not

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.

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
Thesestepsarejustabasicconfigurationtogetyoustartedand
allowtheRavenXtoconnectwiththeHostRJ11IPGateway.
Refertotheuserguideformoreconfigurationoptionsfor

Note: The Host RJ-11 IP Gateway is set to a default static IP address
of 192.168.1.3, if you want to keep that IP address for the Host RJ-11
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.

Caution: If the modem has been disconnected from power between
the steps of the previous section and this section, it may have a
different IP address than what you noted. You will need to reconnect
the modem to your computer, reconnect Wireless Ace and repeat step
5 above (page 7) to determine the new IP address given to the
modem by the cellular provider
