Using a Sierra Wireless AirLink Raven X or Raven-E with a
Cisco Router

Configuring the Cisco Router
The Cisco router has a few different configuration interfaces. This guide just provides the com-
mands for the IOS command line interface. It is assumed your router is configured with the basic
configuration. This guide only covers a basic connection with the AirLink Raven X or Raven-E
and setting the modem up for the simplest of fail-overs.
If there are two Ethernet ports on the router, you may need to configure both of them.
Specify an IP address for a static route if you want by using “ip address 1.2.3.4” or set the inter-
faces to use DHCP (as shown in the example).
Example:
interface FastEthernet1/0
ip address dhcp
duplex auto
speed auto
interface FastEthernet1/1
ip address dhcp
duplex auto
speed auto
5.
Disconnect the Raven X or Raven-E from your computer.
1.
Connect the Raven X or Raven-E to the Cisco Router. You may need to use a twisted pair cable.
2.
Configure the routed Ethernet port(s).
Caution: If you have a router with two Ethernet ports, one of them may already be
configured as your wired Internet connection. If so, do not change that configura
-
tion, only change the configuration for the port which will be used with the Raven
X or Raven-E.
3.
Ensure IP routing is enabled. If the configuration file says “no ip routing” then use “ip routing” to
configure it.
4.
Ensure the ethernet port(s) is getting an IP address. Use “show ip route”.
