Hardware Installation of the Raven
Connecting to a Computer or other Device
Figure 4-2: Ethernet
The Ethernet port of your Raven can be connected directly to a computer or other Ethernet device with either a cross‐over cable or a straight‐through cable. The Ethernet port on the Raven is auto‐sensing and connects at 10baseT. If you are connecting the modem to a hub or switch you should use a straight through cable or use the uplink port on the hub or switch with a cross‐over cable.
Tip: On some computers, the TCP receive window may be set to 16 kbytes. To optimize the throughput of your Raven, it is recommended that you change the TCP window to 128 kbytes to 256 kbytes using a TCP Optimizer.
Indicator Lights
When your Raven is connected to power and an antenna, there is a specific pattern to the lights to indicate its operation mode.
