CHAPTER 2
Activating the Raven X
Your Raven X needs specific parameters before it can operate on the EV-DO network.
Quick Start Guide and Setup Wizard
A quick and easy way to activate and configure your Raven X to connect to the cellular network is
via the AirLink Setup Wizard for Verizon. The Quick Start Guide will lead you through using the
Setup Wizard.
Automatic Activation
One of the special features of your Raven X EV-DO and the Verizon network is the ability to acti-
vate itself automatically. When you first power on the Raven X, the modem will check to see if it
has been activated with account data. If it finds that it has not yet been activated, it will attempt to
retrieve the account data from the Verizon network using Over-the-Air Service Provisioning
(OTASP).
Note: You need to have an account with before you attempt automatic activation.
If you have not ordered an account from for your Raven X, it will not succeed at
activating itself.
Attach the antenna to your modem before you plug in the power.
1. The Raven X will cycle the LED lights in its power on self test.
2. All the lights will go out except the power light. At this point, the modem is attempting to
download its account information. The download process may take about a minute or two.
3. When the download is complete, the Raven X will reset itself, the power light will go out and
the LED lights will cycle once more.
4. When the Network light illuminates, your Raven X has successfully completed OTASP and is
registered on the Verizon network.
.If you need to update the ALEOS firmware, change the account information, or want to test your
Raven X’s account settings, you can use the Setup Wizard. If the automatic activation was suc-
cessful, you do not need to do anything additional to activate your Raven X for Verizon.
Caution: Before you power up the the first time, be sure to have the antenna con-
nected. Do not move your while it is being programmed.
