Connecting to the Sprint
Network

The Raven uses Sprint as an ISP (Internet Service Provider) to 
connect you to the Internet.

Steps of a connection:

1.

When your Raven is powered on, it automatically searches 
for cellular service using 1x.

2.

Your Raven establishes a PPP (Point to Point Protocol or 
“dial” up connection) link to the Sprint network, also 
called registering on the network, and receives an IP 
address.

3.

When your Raven has received its IP address from Sprint, 
a connection to the Internet or the cellular network is also 
available for a computer or other device connected directly 
to the Raven.
