•Important Notice
Because of the nature of wireless communications, transmission and reception of data can never be guar-
anteed. Data may be delayed, corrupted (i.e., have errors) or be totally lost. Although significant delays
or losses of data are rare when wireless devices such as the AirLink Communications modem are used in
a normal manner with a well-constructed network, the AirLink modem should not be used in situations
where failure to transmit or receive data could result in damage of any kind to the user or any other party,
including but not limited to personal injury, death, or loss of property. AirLink Communications, Inc.,
accepts no responsibility for damages of any kind resulting from delays or errors in data transmitted or
received using the AirLink Communications modem, or for failure of the AirLink Communications
modem to transmit or receive such data.
•Safety and Hazards
Do not operate the AirLink Communications modem in areas where blasting is in progress, where explo-
sive atmospheres may be present, near medical equipment, near life support equipment, or any equip-
ment which may be susceptible to any form of radio interference. In such areas, the AirLink
Communications modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. The AirLink Communications modem can trans-
mit signals that could interfere with this equipment. Do not operate the AirLink Communications
modem in any aircraft, whether the aircraft is on the ground or in flight. In aircraft, the AirLink Commu-
nications modem MUST BE POWERED OFF. When operating, the AirLink Communications modem
can transmit signals that could interfere with various on board systems. The driver or operator of any
vehicle should not operate the AirLink Communications modem while in control of a vehicle. Doing so
will detract from the driver or operator's control and operation of that vehicle. In some states and prov-
inces, operating such communications devices while in control of a vehicle is an offence.

CHAPTER 1 Introduction to Raven
GPRS
The AirLink Raven uses serial to connect to a computer or other device and GPRS
to connect to Cingular’s cellular network to allow cellular communication to the
Internet or other network.
Raven Overview
The Raven's rugged form factor is ideal for industrial and commercial applications
that require real-time communications. The Raven provides cellular data communi-
cations for a variety of applications, such as telemetry, public safety, SCADA, traf-
fic control, traffic metering, transit arrival systems and more.

The Raven has several built in features to make it more effective in a variety of set-
tings. In addition, Airlink provides several modem tools to further enhance the
capabilities of the Raven. These features and tools are introduced in this User
Guide.

GPRS Overview
General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is packet-switched with many users sharing
the same transmission channel, only transmitting when they have data to send. This
means that the total available bandwidth can be immediately dedicated to those
users who are actually sending at any given moment, providing higher utilization
where users only send or receive data intermittently. GPRS provides speeds of 30–
70 kbps with bursts possibly up to 170 kbps.
Connecting to Cingular using Serial
Your Raven is equipped with a serial port which you can use to connect directly to
your computer or device.
If you are using a computer with your Raven you can use Dial-Up Networking
(DUN) to access the Internet or other network applications.
Establishing a Connection with GPRS
Cingular is the Internet Service Provider (ISP) from you to the Internet with the
Raven as the connection to Cingular.
