Raven X EV-DO for Verizon - User Guide, version 2.34 137
Frequently Asked Questions and Technical Support
Prefered Roaming List (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.
Your PRL is probably out of date. You should update it.
What is a PRL?
I have activated my Raven X but now cannot connect to Verizon, what can be
wrong?
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.
1Connect to your Raven X using Wireless Ace (page 47).
2On the top Configuration Panel, click the icon for Update PRL.
FIGURE 4. Wireless Ace: Update PRL
3When 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.
