Figure 4-2: Ethernet connector
The Ethernet port of your Raven X can be connected directly to a computer or
other Ethernet device with either a cross-over cable or a straight-through cable.
The Ethernet port on the Raven X is auto-sensing and connects at 100baseTX. If
you are connecting the modem to a hub or switch you should use a straight
through cable or use the uplink port on the hub or switch with a cross-over cable.
Tip: On some computers, the TCP receive window may be set to 16 kbytes. To optimize
the throughput of your Raven X, it is recommended that you change the TCP window from
128 kbytes to 256 kbytes using a TCP Optimizer.
Figure 4-3: Serial Connector
The serial port of your Raven X can be connected directlt 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.
