Raven X EV-DO for Verizon - User Guide, version 2.34 38
CHAPTER 7
Hardware Installation
Your AirLink Raven X should be mounted in a position that allows easy access for the cables so
they are not bent or constricted. The LEDs on the front panel should be visible for ease of opera-
tional verification. You should ensure that there is adequate airflow around the modem but that it is
kept free from direct exposure to the elements (sun, rain, etc.)
The integrated mounting with keyhole screw mounts on the Raven X will allow you to secure
your modem nearly anywhere, quickly and easily, without the need for a seperate bracket.
Modem placement with grounding information and diagrams of the mounting tabs
can be found in the Appendix, “Modem Placement” on page 42.

Connecting the Antennas
Antennas selected should not exceed a maximum gain of 5 dBi under standard installation config-
uration. In more complex installations (such as those requiring long lengths of cable and/or multi-
ple connections), it’s imperative that the installer follow maximum dBi gain guidelines in
accordance with the FFC’s regulations.
Your AirLink Raven X will work with most Dual-Band PCS cellular antennas with a connector
that works in the high and low frequencies of EV-DO . Connect the primary antenna or primary
RF cable directly to the antenna connector on the back of the Raven X.
