Connecting to the your cellular
provider Network
The Raven uses your cellular provider as an ISP (Internet
Service Provider) to connect you to the Internet.

Steps of a connection:

1. When your Raven is powered on, it automatically searches
for cellular service using EDGE.
2. Your Raven establishes a PPP (Point to Point Protocol or
"dial" up connection) link to the your cellular provider
network, also called registering on the network, and
receives an IP address.
3. When your Raven has received its IP address from your
cellular provider, a connection to the Internet or the
cellular network is also available for a computer or other
device connected directly to the Raven.
