Activating Using AT Commands

An alternate method to configure and activate your Raven XE is by using AT
commands sent directly to the modem with a terminal application.
It is not possible to activate the Raven XE using either ACEmanager or AceNet.
Caution:
1. Set telnet timeout in to 20 minutes.
2. Save the telnet setting.
3. Enter the user name of your account (NAI). The user name is usually
expressed as an email address with phone number of the account (example,
1234567@carrier.com). This information should be provided by your carrier.
You may not need this step.
AT*NETUID=[NAI]
4. Enter the password of your account. This information should be provided by
your carrier. You may not need this step.
AT*NETPW=[password]
5. Verify ALEOS has established communication to the internal hardware.
6. Enter the activation command appropriate for your type of account. The SID
and NID are optional and only required if your account type uses them.
· If you have the same number for the MIN and MDN or MSID:
AT*PROVISION=MSL,MDN[,SID,NID]
· If you have the different numbers for the MIN and MDN or MSID:
AT*PROVISION2=MSL,MDN,MIN/MSID[,SID,NID]
Using Direct Commands to the Internal
Hardware
Use only if the ALEOS method is unsuccessful.
Activating the Modem
1. Put modem into passthru mode to by-pass ALEOS. This will allow direct
communication with the wireless module for programming. Entering passthru
will take 10-15 seconds and will return an 'OK' when it is complete.

2. Verify you are in Passthru mode.
