Data Communication

The Raven plays the part of a HOST when a computer or 
another device is connected directly to its port and routes data 
to/from the connected device to the cellular network. 

Caution: The Raven moves data from one port to the cellular
network in a simple one-to-one routing. It does not employ a routing
table or any complicated routing protocol.

Tip: If you need to have one-to-many routing, you can connect the
Raven to a router. The router would provide the multiple routing and
the Raven would provide one-to-one for the router to the cellular
network and the Internet.

As the host, the Raven can use different communication 
modes:

Basic Modes

AT: The Raven accepts and responds to standard AT 
commands.

PassThru: Direct connection to internal hardware (OEM 
Module) of the Raven. 

Telnet: The Raven auto‐answers TCP connections to allow 
terminal emulation using remotely using the cellular 
connection.

Tip: By default, the Raven is in AT Mode and allows AT Commands
to be entered via terminal connection (through the local port
connection) or remotely (through the cellular network). PassThru
Mode can only be exited by resetting the Raven. All serial modes are
entered by use of a startup mode command.

Serial Modes

PPP Mode: The Raven uses PPP to communicate with a 
device or computer connected to the serial. 

SLIP Mode: The Raven uses SLIP to communicate with a 
device or computer connected to the serial.
