Note: When using a DC
power source (such as a
solar cell), Sierra Wireless
recommends placing a
fuse (1-2 Amp) on the line
close to the power source
to protect your power
source from possible
surges due to shorts or
other line issues.

Connecting to a Computer or other
Device
Figure 0-5: USB
Your Raven XT's full-speed (12 Mbit) USB 2.0 port can be connected directly to
most computers or other devices using a standard full-speed USB 2.0 cable. If the
computer or device you are connecting or the cable is not rated for full-speed, the
modem will communicate at a reduced speed to match. The Raven XT functions
as a device, not a host.
When it is connected to a computer, the USB port should be seen as a COM port
or Ethernet port after the applicable driver is installed.
The Raven XT has a standard mini-B connector.
Warning:
The USB port can only be used in a non-hazardous environment.
Indicator Lights
When solid, Raven XT indicates a successful connection. When your Raven XT is
connected to power and an antenna, there is a specific pattern to the lights to
indicate its operation mode.
