Circuit Switch Communications
1.Gather the required information, hardware, and software
Different model numbers will have different configurations. Some of the configuration steps for one model will not work at all with any other model number.
The model number for your Raven is on the sticker which is on the top of the modem (example, Raven 1x C3211 or Raven CDMA C3210). The first letter and number (C3) indicates the communication technology your modem uses. The next number (2) indicates the modem model (Raven). The final two numbers (10, 11, or 16) indicate the internal hardware model.
