Hardware Installation of the PinPoint-E

Link ‐ Indicates a successful connection to the cellular network.

Reg (registration) ‐ Indicates the PinPoint‐E has acquired an IP fromVerizon.

RSSI (signal level) ‐ Light shows the strength of the signal and may be nearly solid (strong signal) or flashing (weaker signal). A slow flash indicates a very weak signal.

RSSI LED Ranges

RSSI/Signal LED Status

Ranges of RSSI (dBm)

 

 

 

 

On Solid

Equal to or stronger than -69

 

 

Fast Blink

-70 to -79

 

 

Normal blink

-80 to -89

 

 

Slow Blink

-90 to -99

 

 

Extinguished

Equal to or weaker than -100

 

 

Tx (transmit) and Rx (receive) ‐ Lights will flash as data is transferred to and from the Raven‐E modem on the remote network.

Srvc (service) ‐ Indicates when the connection is EV‐DO. Unlit indicates 1x.

GPS ‐ Indicates a GPS fix. When lit, the PinPoint‐E has GPS coordinates to report.

On (power) ‐ Indicates the power adapter is connected and there is power getting to the PinPoint‐E.

The Reset button performs the same function as unplugging power from the modem and plugging it back in. Reset will not alter any saved configuration settings.

Light Patterns

The LEDs on the front of the modem will respond in different patterns to indicate modem states.

Normal ‐ Each LED, mentioned above, lit as applicable.

Start up ‐ The LEDs will cycle from left to right.

PassThru mode ‐ The Chan, Reg, and Link LEDs will blink in tandem. The Tx and Rx LEDs will blink when trans‐ mitting or receiving data.

Low Power ‐ All LEDs will be off except the power LED which will blink every 3 seconds.

OTASP: One at a time, the Network, Signal and Acitivity LED will flash (respectively).
