Introduction to Raven X EV-DO Dynamic vs. Static IP Addresses As stated above, when your Raven X registers on Verizon’s network, it receives an IP address. There are two types of addresses on networks: dynamic and static. • Dynamic addresses are assigned on a “need to have” basis. Your Raven X might not always receive the same address each time it connects with Verizon. • Static addresses are permanently assigned to a particular account and will always be used whenever your Raven X connects

CHAPTER 2 Activating the Raven X Your Raven X needs specific parameters before it can operate on the EV-DO network. Automatic Activation One of the special features of your Raven X EV-DO and the Verizon network is the ability to acti- vate itself automatically. When you first power on the Raven X, the modem will check to see if it has been activated with account data. If it finds that it has not yet been activated, it will attempt to retrieve the account data from the Verizon network usin

CHAPTER 4 IP Manager and DNS If you have a fleet of AirLink modems or even if you only have one, it can be difficult to keep track of the current IP addresses, especially if the addresses aren’t static but change every time the modems connect to Verizon. If you need to connect to a modem, or the device behind it, it is so much easier when you have a domain name (car54.mydomain.com, where are you?). Reasons to contact the modem and/or the connected device: • Contacting a surveillance camer

IP Manager and DNS Fully Qualified Domain Name A domain name is a name of a server or device on the Internet which is associated with an IP address. Similar to how the street address of your house is one way to contact you and your phone number is another, both the IP address and the domain name can be used to contact a server or device on the Internet. While contacting you at your house address or with your phone number employ different methods, using a domain name instead of the IP addre

IP Manager and DNS Dynamic Names When an IP address is not expected to change, the DNS server can indicate to all queries that the address can be cached and not looked up for a long period of time. Dynamic DNS servers, con- versely, have a short caching period for the domain information to prevent other Internet sites or queries from using the old information. Since the IP address of a modem with a dynamic account can change frequently, if the old information was used (such as with a DNS s

IP Manager and DNS *MODEMNAME: The name you want for the modem. *DOMAIN: The domain name to be used by the modem. *IPMANAGER1 and *IPMANAGER2: The IP address or domain name of the dynamic DNS server which is running IP Manager. Note: To use the name here instead of the IP, you need to have DNS set up in your Raven X (page 15). *IPMGRUPDATE1 and *IPMGRUPDATE2: How often, in minutes, you want the address sent to IP Manager. If this is set to zero, the modem will only send an update if the
