Hardware Installation of the Raven XE
Rev 1.0 Oct.09 21
Figure 4-4: USB
Your Raven XE’s full‐speed (12 Mbit) USB 2.0 port can be
connected directly to most computers or other devices using a
standard full‐speed USB 2.0 cable. If the computer or device
you are connecting or the cable is not rated for full‐speed, the
modem will communicate at a reduced speed to match. The
Raven XE functions as a device, not a host.
When it is connected to a computer, the USB port should be
seen as a COM port or Ethernet port after the applicable driver
is installed.
The Raven XE has a standard mini‐B connector.
Warning: The USB port can only be used in a non-
hazardous environment.
Indicator Lights
When your Raven XE is connected to power and an antenna,
there is a specific pattern to the lights to indicate its operation
mode.
