Hardware Installation of the Raven XE

Figure 4-4: 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. If the computer or device you are connecting or the cable is not rated for full‐speed, the modem will communicate at a reduced speed to match. The Raven XE functions as a device, not a host.

When it is connected to a computer, the USB port should be seen as a COM port or Ethernet port after the applicable driver is installed.

The Raven XE has a standard mini‐B connector.

Warning: The USB port can only be used in a non- hazardous environment.

Indicator Lights

When your Raven XE is connected to power and an antenna, there is a specific pattern to the lights to indicate its operation mode.
