www.ime.de Introduction to the Raven XE from Node B (known as HARQ‐Hybrid Automatic Repeat Request) to deliver the improved downlink performance vs. UMTS and EDGE. HSPDA (and HSUPA) falls back to UMTS, EDGE or GPRS (in order of precedence). This feature allows you to have seamless connectivity no matter where your Raven XE is. UMTS UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System) supports up to 1920 kbit/s data transfer rates, although most users can expect performance up to 384 kbit/s. A UMTS network uses a pair of 5 MHz channels, one in the 1900 MHz range for uplink and one in the 2100 MHz range for downlink. EDGE EDGE (Enhanced Data rates for GSM Evolution) provides end‐ to‐end packet data services with an enhanced connectivity building on GPRS technology and using the established GSM networks. EDGE provides higher transmission rates and better transmission quality for data than GPRS. EDGE can carry data at speeds typically up to 384 kbit/s in packet mode. When EDGE is not available, your Raven XE will fall‐back to GPRS for the connection to your cellular provided to provide continued connectivity. GPRS General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is packet‐switched with many users sharing the same transmission channel, but 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 up to 170 kbps. Rev 2.0 Jul.09 ime mobile solutions GmbH •...

www.ime.de 8: Data Communication and Host Modes • Basic Modes • Data Communication The Raven XE plays the part of a HOST when a computer or another device is connected directly to its port and routes data to/from the connected device to the cellular network. Caution: The Raven XE moves data from one port to the cellular network in a simple one-to-one routing. It does not employ a routing table or any complicated routing protocol.
www.ime.de Data Communication and Host Modes Basic Modes AT Mode Using a terminal connection, AT commands are used to configure the modem, command it to do something, or query a setting. For a full listing of the AT commands, refer to the appendix. AceManager is a graphical user interface for most AT Commands. • AT commands must always be terminated by <CR> (ASCII character 0x0D), a carriage return (pressing enter on the keyboard). Some may also include a new line or line feed <LF>. • If E=1 (Echo On), the AT command (including the termi‐ nating <carriage return) will be displayed (output) before any responses. • Two settings affect the format of AT command output: V (Verbose) and Q (Quiet). • If Q=1 (Quiet On), no result codes are output whatsoever, so there is no response generated by a (non query) command. • If Q=0 (Quiet Off), result codes are output. The format of this output is then affected by the Verbose setting. If Quiet mode is off, the result code is affected as follows: For V=1 (Verbose mode), the textual result code is sur‐ rounded by a carriage return and new line. Any AT query response is also surrounded by a carriage return and new line. For V=0 (Terse mode), a numeric result code is output with a single trailing carriage return (no new line is ...
www.ime.de Data Communication and Host Modes PassThru Mode In PassThru mode, the Raven XE does not behave normally, all port communication is passed directly between the internal hardware and the computer connected directly to the modem. This mode can be used to configure hardware‐specific settings. For example, provisioning, troubleshooting, communicating with legacy equipment, etc. Caution: ALEOS is disabled in PassThru Mode. You cannot use most ALEOS specific commands while the modem is in PassThru Mode. While in PassThru mode, you also cannot use AceManager to connect with the PinPoint.
www.ime.de Data Communication and Host Modes Figure 8-1: AceManager : PassThru PassThru Mode allows only specific AT commands. Some ALEOS commands will be unavailable when the Raven XE is in PassThru mode. The commands usable also depend heavily on the modem model number (found on the label on the top of the Raven XE). Note: Some internal hardware requires upwards of 20 seconds before AT commands can be entered, so be patient if there seems to be no response to AT commands. Telnet Mode In AceManager you can configure Telnet operation.

www.ime.de Data Communication and Host Modes Figure 8-6: Port Forwarding In AceManager, enter the fields in the Port Forwarding group. • Number of PF Entries: Set value to number of used Port forward rules for performance gain. Each forwarding entry has four parameters: · Public Port: Port number of the Modem/Gateway. · Host/IF: Physical connection type to the modem. (USB, Ethernet). Serial PPP is not available on the Raven XE. · Host IP: IP address of the connected device/computer. · Private Port: Port number on the connected device. • Port Forwarding with range of ports (start and end): The Public Port 1 start and Public Port 1 end, allows ranges of ports to be forwarded, and or changed without individual entry. For example, if Public range is 8080 ‐ 8090 to 80, this will cause 8086 to be forwarded to 86. You can set a default in the PPP/Ethernet group, if you do not need: • To forward to specific ports on your connected device, but you want all data to be directly used by ALEOS, or otherwise forwarded. • To pass to only one connected device. Note: The default settings are independent of the number of Port Forward entries and can be used with port forwarding to pass anything not forwarded to specific ports.
Page 71
www.ime.de Data Communication and Host Modes Firewall Functions The Raven XE can provide a basic firewall between the public and private networks. There are two types of firewall rules supported by the Raven XE, IP filtering and port filtering. • IP Filtering: When enabled, only packets with source IP addresses matching those in a list or range of trusted hosts will be allowed through. · Friends List IP: Each entry can be configured to allow a single IP address, for example 64.100.100.2, or the IP addresses from a complete subnet, such as 64.100.10.255 allowing all IP addresses from 64.100.10.0 to 64.100.10.255. · Non‐Friends Port Forwarding: Non‐Friends port forwarding is like an allow rule for any of the forwarded ports. If it is enabled, the port forwarding rules apply to all incoming packets. If it is diabled, only Friends List IPs get through. · Start and End Range: Specify the IP address range that is allowed access, for example 64.100.10.2 to start and 64.100.10.15 to end would allow 64.100.10.5 but would not allow 64.100.10.16. · Outbound IP Filtering: Enable or disable Outbound IP filtering (0‐OFF, 1‐ ON). Outbound Incoming traffic will create an outbound hole in the firewall, unless other restrictions apply to it. Access to Aleos ports are not blocked. Note: In addition to the security settings in ALEOS, Inbound connec- tions also require mobile terminated or Internet routable WAN/Cellular account.

www.ime.de Data Communication and Host Modes Figure 8-10: AceManager: Firewall Keepalive Keepalive is used to test the connection to the cellular network by pinging an IP address after a specified period of inactivity. Keepalive is only recommended for users who have a remote terminated modem that infrequently communicates to the network or if you have experienced issues over time where the modem can no longer be reached remotely. When Keepalive pings the IP address, an acknowledgement indicates there is an active connection to the network. If the Raven XE does not receive a response from the IP address, it will make additional attempts according to a backoff algorithm before determining the Internet connection is not functioning properly. If it determines the connection is not functioning, the modem will then attempt to reconnect to your cellular provided to reestablish IP connectivity.

If you need to connect to a modem, or the device behind it, it is so much easier when you have a domain name (car54.mydomain.com, where are you?). Reasons to contact the modem and/or the connected device: • Requesting a location update from a delivery truck. • Contacting a surveillance camera to download logs or survey a specific area. •...
www.ime.de IP Manager • Dynamic IP addresses are granted only when your Raven XE is connected and can change each time the modem reconnects to the network. • Static IP addresses are granted the same address every time your Raven XE is connected and are not in use when your modem is not connected. Since many cellular providers, like wire‐based ISPs, do not offer static IP addresses or static address accounts cost a premium vs. dynamic accounts, Sierra Wireless AirLink Solutions developed IP Manager to work with a Dynamic DNS server to receive notification from Sierra Wireless AirLink modems to translate the modem’s dynamic IP address to a fully qualified domain name. Thus, you can contact your Raven XE directly from the Internet using a domain name. Understanding Domain Names A domain name is a name of a server or device on the Internet which is associated with an IP address. Similar to how the street address of your house is one way to contact you and your phone number is another, both the IP address and the domain name can be used to contact a server or device on the Internet. While contacting you at your house address or with your phone number employ different methods, using a domain name instead of the IP address actually uses the same method, just a word based name is commonly easier to remember for most people than a string of numbers. Understanding the parts of a domain name can help to under‐ stand how IP Manager works and what you need to be able to configure the modem. A fully qualified domain name (FQDN) generally has several parts. • Top Level Domain (TLD): The TLD is the ending suffix for a domain name (.com, .net, .org, etc.) • Country Code Top Level Domain (ccTLD): This suffix is ...

It is the responsibility of a domain to keep track of its own subs. car54.mydomain.com • .com is the TLD • mydomain is the domain (usually noted as mydomain.com since the domain is specific to the TLD) • car54 is the subdomain or server name associated with the device, computer, or modem registered with mydomain.com car54.mydomain.com.ca This would be the same as above, but with the addition of the country code. In this example, the country code (.ca) is for Canada. Tip: A URL (Universal Resource Locator) is different from a domain name in that it also indicates information on the protocol used by a web browser to contact that address, such as http:// www.sierrawireless.com.
www.ime.de IP Manager Note: The fully qualified domain name of your Raven XE will be a subdomain of the domain used by the IP Manager server. Using IP Manager with your Raven XE To allow your Sierra Wireless AirLink modem to be addressed by name, the modem needs to have a minimum of three elements configured. You can also configure a second dynamic server as a backup, secondary, or alternate server. In AceManager, select Dynamic IP.

www.ime.de IP Manager internal to the local network or frequently changing IP addresses, the DNS servers provided by Provider should be all you need. If the Raven XE will be communicating with a device that has a domain name but changes its IP address frequently (such as another AirLink modem using IP Manager) or is on a network where devices are accessed by names rather than IP addresses, you will want to put in an alternate DNS (*DNSUSER) where that domain is updated, such as the IP Manager server the remote modem is using or the listing of IP addresses to names is kept. If you need to manually configure DNS, in AceManager, select DNS. Figure 9-2: AceManager: DNS • *DNS1 and *DNS2 ‐ The primary and secondary DNS servers set by Provider when your Raven XE gets its IP address. • *DNSUSER ‐ Set this, if desired, to an additional DNS server to query first before the primary or secondary (just as a hosts file is queried first on a computer). If *DNSUSER is set to 0.0.0.0, it will be ignored. • *DNSUPDATE ‐ This command sets how often you want DNS Updates to be requested. Otherwise the Raven XE will only send updates when it is reset, powered up, or the IP address is granted by network changes. • Use Alternate DNS 2 ‐ Set another DNS User. Note: You can set up a second DNS User, if you have two DNS users.

www.ime.de 10: SNMP : Simple Network Management Protocol • SNMP Configuration • SNMP MIB Definition The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) was Sample designed to allow remote management and monitoring of a variety of devices from a central location. The SNMP management system is generally composed of agents (such as your Raven XE, a router, a UPS, a web server, a file server, or other computer equipment) and a Network Management Station (NMS) which monitors all the agents on a specific network. Using the management information base (MIB), an NMS can include reporting, network topology mapping, tools to allow traffic monitoring and trend analysis, and device monitoring. Authentication ensures SNMP messages coming from the agent, such as the Raven XE, have not been modified and the agent may not be queried by unauthorized users. SNMPv3 uses a User‐Based Security Model (USM) to authenticate and, if desired or supported, message encryption. USM uses a user name and password specific to each device. The Raven XE can be configured as an SNMP agent and supports SNMPv2c and SNMPv3. Management Information Base (MIB) The management information base (MIB) is a type of database used to compile the information from the various SNMP ...

www.ime.de Raven XT Firewall Range You can define three different ranges of start and end. All IP addresses between the start of the range and the end of the range would be allowed. For example, if Range 1 Start was set to 192.168.13.50 and the Range 1 End was set to 192.68.13.95, then the IP address of 192.168.13.100 would not be allowed since it would be outside of the range; but 192.168.13. 75 would be allowed. Port Filtering Mode allows only the defined user ports and can block other ports. Port filtering can be configured to block connections on the specified ports (Blocked Ports), allow connections only on the specified ports (Allowed Ports), or not block or allow based on ports (Not Used). Each specified port will be allowed or blocked depending on the Port Filtering Mode. Note: The Port Filtering is in addition to any port blocking or allowing done by the cellular provider. If the port is blocked by the cellular carrier, setting it for allowed here will have no effect since the connection would be blocked before even reaching the Raven XE.
