CHAPTER 11
Hardware Installation
Your AirLink Raven should be mounted in a position that allows easy access for the
cables so they are not bent or constricted. The LEDs on the front panel should be
visible for ease of operational verification. You should ensure that there is adequate
airflow around the modem but that it is kept free from direct exposure to the ele-
ments (sun, rain, etc.). The exterior of the case should also be grounded.
Raven Mounting Kit
An optional accessory for your modem is a mounting kit. The bracket is designed
to snugly cradle the modem and hold it in place where you need it.
The Raven “snaps” into place in the bracket locking into the grooves on the Raven
case. The bracket can be further secured with a twist-tie set into the grooves on the
top for situations where the modem may be subjected to violent movement, such as
in the back of an automobile. In most stationary installations, such as in a field or
pipe, the Raven and bracket shouldn’t require a twist-tie.
The bracket can be attached to the location using #6 screws (mounting hole diame-
ter approximately 0.150").
