AirLink Communications Raven C3210 Instruction

Circuit-Switched Configuration for
the AirLink Raven
Application Note - How To
Step by Step directions for configuring your Raven follow the general information
about Circuit Switch. The Step by Step directions use templates for common con-
figurations.
The Raven in PassThru Mode does not have any internal intelligence nor does the Raven C3210,
C3216 or N3213 in PassThru Mode have the ability to SAVE individual settings like a conven-
tional modem (the Raven C3211 in PassThru Mode can save settings internally). Therefore, the
best machines for use in circuit-switched mode are ones that can provide their own INIT or setup
strings and/or issue AT commands.
However, for customers who have unintelligent machines who still need to have the modem 'ready'
to behave in a certain way (such as Auto-Answering circuit-switched data calls), there is a feature
in the modem called the INIT STATE.
For CDMA, circuit-switched configuration requires a voice plan (account)
Note:
with your carrier, not a 1xRTT data plan. 1xRTT features are not compatible with
the circuit switch configuration. Voice plan speeds are generally lower than those
of a data plan.
For iDEN, circuit-switched configuration requires an account/SIM specifi-
Note:
cally configured for a Circuit-Switched Data (CSD) plan with no restriction on
inbound or outgoing calls. A SIM/account provisioned only for standard data
options will not work for CSD.
