Raven CDMA User Guide for Verizon, version 2.23 105
*HOSTPRIVMODE=1 - Private Mode turned on.
*HOSTPRIVIP=[IP address] - IP address assigned to computer or other
device connected directly to the modem (example, 192.168.1.8).
*HOSTPEERIP=[IP address] - IP address assigned to modem for local, not
cellular, communication (example, 192.168.1.9).
*HOSTNETMASK=[subnet mask] - Subnet Mask setting (example,
255.255.255.0).
The IP addresses configured need to be appropriate for your network. For most
internal networks, using the IP range of 192.168.x.x is generally preferred. The
first 3 octets need to be the same for all devices on the network (such as
192.168.1.x), but you can use any number from 0 to 254 for the last octet. The last
octet for each IP on the network needs to be different. Unless you are instructed to
use a different IP range by your Network Administrator, using the 192.168.1.x or
192.168.0.x is recommended.
The *HOSTPRIVIP and the *HOSTPEERIP need to exist on same subnet, the eas-
iest subnet to configure is 255.255.255.0 which allows for 255 IPs on the same sub-
net. Unless you understand the complexities of subnetting or you are instructed to
use a different subnet by your Network Administrator, it is generally safe to use
255.255.255.0. For this subnet, the first 3 sets of numbers (octets) need to be the
same with the final number different (such as 192.168.1.x).
What is the COM1000?
The COM1000 is a stand-alone device not made by AirLink but that can be used
with your Raven. There are AT commands for your Raven AirLink modem which
take advantage of some of the properties of the COM1000. The COM1000 is made
by SimpleComTools: http://www.simplecomtools.com/com1000.html and used in
conjunction with AirLink modems: http://www.simplecomtools.com/wireless.html.
From SimpleComTools description of the COM1000:
Caution: If the IP address of the device or computer connected to
the modem is different from the one configured in the modem as
the *HOSTPEERIP, communications will fail. If the Subnet
Mask is configured differently in the modem than on the com
-
puter or device to which it is connected, you may not be able to
communicate between them.
