*HOSTPRIVMODE=1 - Private Mode turned on.

*HOSTPRIVIP=[IP address] - IP address assigned to computer or other device connected directly to the modem (example, 192.168.1.8).

*HOSTPEERIP=[IP address] - IP address assigned to modem for local, not cellular, communication (example, 192.168.1.9).

*HOSTNETMASK=[subnet mask] - Subnet Mask setting (example, 255.255.255.0).

The IP addresses configured need to be appropriate for your network. For most internal networks, using the IP range of 192.168.x.x is generally preferred. The first 3 octets need to be the same for all devices on the network (such as 192.168.1.x), but you can use any number from 0 to 254 for the last octet. The last octet for each IP on the network needs to be different. Unless you are instructed to use a different IP range by your Network Administrator, using the 192.168.1.x or 192.168.0.x is recommended.

The *HOSTPRIVIP and the *HOSTPEERIP need to exist on same subnet, the eas- iest subnet to configure is 255.255.255.0 which allows for 255 IPs on the same sub- net. Unless you understand the complexities of subnetting or you are instructed to use a different subnet by your Network Administrator, it is generally safe to use 255.255.255.0. For this subnet, the first 3 sets of numbers (octets) need to be the same with the final number different (such as 192.168.1.x).

Caution: If the IP address of the device or computer connected to the modem is different from the one configured in the modem as the *HOSTPEERIP, communications will fail. If the Subnet Mask is configured differently in the modem than on the com- puter or device to which it is connected, you may not be able to communicate between them.

What is the COM1000?

The COM1000 is a stand-alone device not made by AirLink but that can be used with your Raven. There are AT commands for your Raven AirLink modem which take advantage of some of the properties of the COM1000. The COM1000 is made by SimpleComTools: http://www.simplecomtools.com/com1000.html and used in conjunction with AirLink modems: http://www.simplecomtools.com/wireless.html.
