There are two ways to accomplish this: 1. Use AT commands via a Terminal emulation program to configure the modem (see Raven/PinPoint User’s Manual for further instructions on this method). 2. Use Wireless ACE on a Windows computer to configure the modem. This is the recommended method that is detailed in this manual. AirLink Communications, Inc. August 9, 2001 Page 3 AirLink Raven II CDPD Modem Wireless ACE needs a Dial-Up Networking (PPP) connection to talk to the modem via Windows. Before configuring the PPP connection, first do the following: • Verify no other modems are installed that will conflict with your AirLink modem, and verify there are no applications running that will interfere with the COM port you are using. (See Adding the Modem for more information.) • TCP/IP must be installed on the system. Verify this by checking Control Panel> >>>>Network. • Dial-Up Networking must be installed which provides the PPP connection for communicating with your AirLink modem. You can verify this by checking: Control Panel> >>>> Add/Remove Programs> >>>> Windows Setup> >>>> Communications> >>>> Dial-Up Networking It should have a black checkmark next to it. If not, check the box. You may be prompted for your Windows CD to install DUN. After installation, you may have to reboot. • Ensure you have a disk labeled "Modem Utilities" (or you have previously installed another AirLink Product from a CD). Otherwise you will be directed to various website links in this manual for finding the files you will need. Each of the following sections will walk you through how to do the above, step-by-step, and get your Raven II working so you can begin using it. The Dial-Up Networking (PPP) configuration in this manual uses Windows ME (Millennium Edition) setup screens for examples. This setup is very similar to a Windows 95/98 configuration. For precise instructions on a particular Operating System setup please check the Appendix of the Raven/PinPoint User’s Manual (available online at and select the Raven II support page), or go to our website instructions at and select the Operating System you are installing on for step-by-step instructions online. 2.2.1 Adding the Modem in Windows Your computer must have Windows ME (or some other version of Windows for using Wireless ACE) and the computer must have an available serial (COM) port to which you will attach your Raven II. Important: Ensure the serial or COM port you will be using on your computer is available. Below are the items you can check so that your AirLink modem will work properly in Windows. • Do you have any software running that uses a COM port? Confirm that the Windows computer that you are using does not have any software loaded that may interfere with the COM port you're going to use. For example, HotSync - software used for communicating with the Page 4 AirLink Communications, Inc. User’s Manual PalmPilot can occupy the COM port even if you do not have your PalmPilot connected to that COM port at this time. Check any software that loads when your computer starts up -any software that appears as an icon on your Windows Taskbar -and Disable/Exit any applications that normally use a COM port. • Do you have another modem installed? Older internal modems can cause COM port conflicts. PC Card (PCMCIA) modems in laptops can switch the COM port number of your built-in COM port. For example, your built-in COM port is COM1, but when you install your PC Card modem, that modem becomes COM1 and your built-in COM port becomes COM2. Remove your PC Card modem until you verify your AirLink Modem is working, or ensure your internal modem won't be conflicting with the COM port your AirLink modem is attached to. • Infrared ports on laptops/desktops may cause similar conflicts. They too can change the COM port number, or sometimes “share an interrupt” with an existing COM port which can cause your serial port not to work (since the IR port is usually active by default). Check your BIOS settings or computer manual to disable this port, or ensure it will not be conflicting. Now setup the Raven II on the computer: 1. Plug in the AC adapter and attach it to the modem. Verify the Pwr light is lit. 2. Attach the antenna to the modem. 3. Connect the PC to the modem with a standard DB-9 male connector for the modem end, and a DB-9 or DB-25 on the other end for the PC. The cable wiring should be straight through, not a null-modem cable. (This cable may be provided with your modem.) 4. If you have previously installed another AirLink product (like ATS) from a CD, then skip to step 6. Insert your “Modem Utilities” disk into the computer. (Or download the Windows modem driver from 5. Copy the file mdmarlnk.inf to the Windows' INF directory. Usually this is "C:\Windows\Inf". NOTE: This is a hidden directory and you will not see it with a default configuration. Turn on the ability to view hidden files in your...
