GRE
GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel is used to carry non-IP packets
through an IP Network. Non-IP packets sent over the GRE tunnel must first be
encapsulated. Hence, ALEOS is used to configure and encapsulate non-IP
packets and transmit over IP through the GRE tunnel.
Applications
Events Reporting
Events Reporting is a Sierra Wireless AirLink modem software feature, provided
via ACEmanager, that allows users to generate reports from the events that take
place. Event Reporting Protocol is an intuitive embedded protocol, which
automatically formats the messages based on an event trigger. The messages
generated are then reported to the remote server.
Software
The AirLink Raven XE device comes with the following software:
•
ACEview, the software for the AirLink Raven XE which allows you to monitor
your connections.
•
The driver that forms the interface between the AirLink Raven XE and your
Windows operating system when using USB virtual Ethernet or USB virtual
serial.
•
Firmware that is stored in non-volatile memory and includes ACEmanager.
The AirLink Raven XE has an embedded radio module made by Sierra
Wireless. There are two firmware programs on the device—one stored on the
controller board of the AirLink Raven XE and one on the radio module.
The firmware was loaded into the controller board and radio module when the
AirLink Raven XE was assembled. As new versions of the software and firm-
ware are released, they are posted at
Note: The radio module firmware is not updatable; only ALEOS-level firmware can be
updated.
