Prefered Roaming List (PRL)

What is a PRL?

The Preferred Roaming List (PRL) is a data file of alternate networks to use when your Raven X is out of range of Verizon’s primary network. Without an up-to-date PRL, the connection range for your Raven X may be more confined since you would not be able to obtain service outside of the “home” area.

I have activated my Raven X but now cannot connect to Verizon, what can be wrong?

Your PRL is probably out of date. You should update it.

How can I update the PRL (Prefered Roaming List)?

You can use either Wireless Ace or a terminal connection to update your PRL.

Wireless Ace

Caution: The Raven X’s version of ALEOS will need to be 200512A or later and you will need a Wireless Ace version of 200501 or later.

Connect to your Raven X using Wireless Ace (page 47).

On the top Configuration Panel, click the icon for Update PRL.

3	When you start the Update PRL feature, PRL specific information will be displayed: the Carrier,
	the current PRL in the modem, the PRL version for the update, and the detected Master Subsid-

iary Lock (MSL).

FIGURE 5. Wireless Ace: Update PRL

The PRL will be updated to the one present in the “PRL” folder of the Wireless Ace installed folder (i.e. C:\Program Files\AirLink\Wireless Ace 3G\PRL). If the PRL version to apply is dis- played as ONLINE, then the PRL will be updated Over-the-Air (OTA) directly from Verizon.
