Circuit Switch Communications

Raven LEDs in Circuit-Switched Mode

When the Raven is in Circuit‐Switched mode, the LEDs on the front will behave differently. The Chan, Link, and Reg LEDs will flash in tandem, like with PassThru mode, while all other LEDs (except for Power) will be off.

Step by Step Configuration
