Using a Sierra Wireless AirLink Raven X or Raven-E with a
Cisco Router
Before You Start
Your Sierra Wireless AirLink modem will only do one-to-one routing, passing messages from the
cellular network directly to a single device, such as the Cisco router, connected to it. It cannot be
configured to act as a router for more than that one device.
Before you start your configuration, you will need to decide if you want your modem to pass the IP
address it receives to the router (Public Mode) or if you want the modem and the router to be on a
local network with a static IP which is not Internet routable (Private Mode).
If you choose Private Mode, you will need IP addresses for both the router and the modem. The IP
addresses will need to be on the same subnet and local to each other. Generally, you will want to
use a 192.168.x.x address for both. The third octet (set of numbers) will need to be the same and
the last will need to be different.
• Example Private Mode IP address for the Raven X or Raven-E: 192.168.13.31
• Example Private Mode IP address for the Cisco router: 192.168.13.30
Software Required
• AirLink Wireless Ace - Graphical interface for configuring Sierra Wireless AirLink modems.
If you don’t already have Wireless Ace, you can download the utility from the AirLink website:
http://www.airlink.com.
• Terminal application - A terminal or terminal emulation application, such as Windows Hyper-
Terminal, to communicate with the Cisco router.
Software Recommended
• AceView - Status and connection monitor for your Sierra Wireless AirLink modem. You can
download AceView from the AirLink website: http://www.airlink.com.
• AceNet - Multiple modem configuration and monitoring utility for all Sierra Wireless AirLink
modems. With AceNet, you can save a working configuration in Wireless Ace and then load it
into several modems concurrently saving time and ensuring all the modems are configured the
same. AceNet is available for separate purchase from your Sierra Wireless representative.
Hardware Required
• Ethernet Cable - A cross-over or straight through Ethernet cable.
Attention: This document is intended to provide suggestions for communications
setup only, and in no way commits Sierra Wireless to provide consulting, integra
-
tion, or technical support for any Cisco router or the integration of such with any
Sierra Wireless product. The assembly and integration of the Sierra Wireless Air
-
Link Raven X or Raven-E modem and the Cisco Router is the responsibility of a
technology solutions integrator or end-customer, as neither Sierra Wireless nor
Cisco sell or support such an integrated solution.
Caution: If the modem and the router are going to be on a hub which is connected
to a local network, you will need to be sure the addresses you select are not used by
any other device on the network. Consult with your network administrator if you
are unsure.
