Airlink CDMA/1x manual Hardware Installation, Connecting the Antenna

CHAPTER 9

Hardware Installation

Your AirLink Raven should be mounted in a position that allows easy access for the cables so they are not bent or constricted. The LEDs on the front panel should be visible for ease of operational verification. You should ensure that there is adequate airflow around the modem but that it is kept free from direct exposure to the ele- ments (sun, rain, etc.). The exterior of the case should also be grounded.

An optional accessory for your modem is a mounting kit. The bracket is designed to snugly cradle the modem and hold it in place where you need it. See “Mounting Kit” on page 51.

Connecting the Antenna

Your Raven will work with most standard cellular antennas with a TNC connector and rated to work with CDMA technology. Connect the antenna or RF cable directly to the TNC connector on the back of the Raven.
