Raven XE Quick Start Guide

This Quick Start guide provides brief overview of the steps required

to activate your Raven XE on your cellular provider’s network.

Tip:

For additional configuration options, refer to the User Guide for your

device.

Requirements

• Cellular Account Required- To use your modem, you need to

have a SIM with an active account in a data plan, with your

cellular provider (EDGEor HSUPA/HSDPA).

• ACEmanager - Graphical interface for software configuration.

You can download ACEmanager from the Sierra Wireless AirLink

Solutions website: http://www.sierrawireless.com/support/. A

default installation of this utility is assumed later in these direc-

tions.

• Ethernet cable - An Ethernet cable is required.

Note: Until you install a driver for the USB port, you cannot use your USB

port to configure the modem.

• Power adapter and a power source - You will need a power

supply and power source for the modem.

• PC or laptop - To configure the modem, you will need a

computer with an available serial port.

• Small Phillips screw driver - The Phillips screw driver is the one

which is also called a plus (+) or X screw driver.

Note: Most accounts use

the default addressing

solution of Private or

Public IP addresses

supplied by the Internet

and Proxy APNs. Only if

you have a Static or

Custom IP address should

you need to configure a

custom APN.

Warning:

The antenna should be installed no closer than

20 cm from the human body. It is one of the RSS-102

requirements for devices not requiring SAR.

Note: Raven XE I/O Port 4 is software configurable.

4. CONNECT USB: Your Raven XE’s full-speed (12 Mbit) USB 2.0 port can be

connected directly to most computers or other devices using a standard full-

speed USB 2.0 cable.

5. POWER ON. Your Raven XE can be used with either DC or AC, with the

appropriate power adapter. DC cables and AC adapters are available as

optional accessories in addition to the one included with your Raven XE. The

Raven XE digital I/O port consists of a 4 pin power connector, which includes

two digital I/O ports. Port 4 is software configurable, while port 3 is Digital

Input only and not software configurable.

6. CONFIGURE APN. If you have a custom APN or an active SIM outside the

US, request the APN details from your carrier and configure them with

ACEmanager.
