Tip: When using a cable connected to an antenna placed away from the modem,
minimize the length of your cable. All gain from a more advantageous antenna placement
can be lost with a long cable length to the modem.
To provide for diversity in the signal reception, connect the second antenna to the
second antenna port (SMA, labeled Rx Div ANT2) on the back of the Raven XE.
Caution: If you are not using a diversity antenna, you should disable the receive diversity
option. In ACEmanager, in the WAN/Cellular group, configure RX Diversity.

Connecting to Power

The Raven XE digital I/O port consists of a 4-pin power connector which includes
two digital I/O ports. Port 4 is software configurable, while Port 3 is digital input
only and not software configurable.
The I/O port handles external input and output events. An external device can
send digital input to the modem through the digital I/O port.

Risk of electric shock: Only use the supply voltages listed in this user guide.
Warning:
The operating temperature range of the 12V AC power adapter is 0
Warning:
This range is less than the operating temperature range of the Raven XE. For deployments
in more extreme temperatures, use the optional DC power cable rather than the AC power
adapter.
With the appropriate power adapter, the Raven XE can be used with either DC or
AC power. DC cables and AC adapters are available as optional accessories in
addition to the one included with your Raven XE.
