1 Introduction
This manual covers information for first-time setup and configuration of your
AirLink CDMA modems, as well as technical details on this modem. The modem may
be remotely configured. The AirLink modems are also capable of having their
firmware upgraded wirelessly, rendering it unnecessary to physically connect to the
modem to upgrade it.
The AirLink CDMA modem is designed to operate in CDMA networks. Two services
are available in the CDMA networks: 1xRTT, a packet switched connection, and IS-
95B, a circuit switched connection. The Raven CDMA can be provisioned to transmit
and receive data using either service.
1.1 CDMA2000 1X
The AirLink CDMA modem provides data capability into the packet service offered
with CDMA2000 1X (1xRTT) technology. CDMA2000 1X offers higher speed data
operations than are available with IS-95 service. IS-95 is limited to 14.4 kbps. 1X
service uses a fundamental channel at 9600 bps and can add supplemental channels
when needed to boost speed to as high as 153.6 kbps on the downlink (network to
modem) and 76.8 kbps on the uplink (modem to network).
