Raven EDGE/GPRS for Cingular - User Guide, version 2.31 11
Utilities for the Raven
Wireless Ace
Wireless Ace enables modems equipped with ALEOS to be monitored and configured locally or
remotely.
As long as your Raven is online and publicly a
ccessible, support pe
rsonnel can access your modem
from anywhere at any time to see how it is operating and how it is configured. Parameter changes
can be made inst
antly over-the-air.
Once your modem is configured and installed correctly, a template can be made to program other
modems
with the same parameter values
. This enables quick, accurate deployment of large pools
of modems.
FIGURE 2. Wireless Ace
You can connect to your Raven locally using a DUN connection . The display is dynamically
updated with the current status
of the modem. The GPS features are available only for PinPoint
X, PinPoint-E, and PinPoint modems.
When you use DUN to connect to your Raven, AceView can monitor and maintain the DUN con-
nection. The DU
N conn
ection features are not available with Windows NT or Windows 98. Refer
to the AceView Guide for information on how to connect using serial for Windows NT or Windows
98.
Most configuration screen shots in this guide are using Wireless Ace.
Connecting to the modem using Wireless Ace is covered in the “AT Commands”
chapter on page 50.
