Power
Your Raven can be used with either DC, available in most
automobiles, or 110 AC, standard US wall power, with the
appropriate power adapter. DC cables and AC adapters are
available as optional accessories in addition to the one
included with your Raven.
Note: When using a DC power
source (such as a car battery or
solar cell), Sierra Wireless
recommends placing a fuse (1-2
Amp) on the line close to the
power source to protect your
power source from possible
surges due to shorts or other line
issues. The DC power cable positive lead should be connected to the
battery or power source positive terminal. The power cable
negative lead should be connected to the battery or power
source negative terminal.
Connecting to a Computer or other
Device
Figure 0-13: Serial
The serial port of your Raven can be connected directly to most
computers or other devices using a standard straight through
cable. If you have a DCE device, you will need a null modem
or null modem cable.
Indicator Lights
When your Raven is connected to power and an antenna, there
is a specific pattern to the lights to indicate its operation mode.
