Public Mode (*HOSTPRIVMODE=0) :
The IP address assigned by Verizon is passed on to the devices connected to the modem.
If there is a computer or device connected to the serial port of your modem, there are actually two PPP sessions taking place. After your AirLink modem receives the cellular provider’s assigned IP address, a second PPP session established between your computer or device and the modem ultimately assigns that IP address to that computer or device connected to the serial port.
Private Mode (*HOSTPRIVMODE=1) :
The IP address assigned by Verizon is not the address that is assigned to the com- puter or device connected to the Raven’s serial port during the PPP negotiation . Instead, the computer or device connected to the Raven on the serial port is assigned the IP address configured in *HOSTPRIVIP and uses the IP address con- figured in *HOSTPEERIP to communicate to the modem.
How do I set up Private Mode? How do I connect to my Raven to my router or to Linux?
Private Mode is at times preferred or required to provide network connectivity to a Linux device, routers, or other devices. Private mode will generally also work with any PC in an environment where there is a need for the Raven to be configured to work with an internal network.
There are four AT commands you will need to set in the modem. You can set them using Wireless ACE (page 10) or Telnet (page 53). The examples shown are from Wireless ACE 3G.
