Introduction to the AirLink Raven XE

Rev 3.0 Feb.12 19

GRE

GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) tunnel is used to carry non-IP packets

through an IP Network. Non-IP packets sent over the GRE tunnel must first be

encapsulated. Hence, ALEOS is used to configure and encapsulate non-IP

packets and transmit over IP through the GRE tunnel.

Applications

Events Reporting

Events Reporting is a Sierra Wireless AirLink modem software feature, provided

via ACEmanager, that allows users to generate reports from the events that take

place. Event Reporting Protocol is an intuitive embedded protocol, which

automatically formats the messages based on an event trigger. The messages

generated are then reported to the remote server.

Software

The AirLink Raven XE device comes with the following software:

• ACEview, the software for the AirLink Raven XE which allows you to monitor

your connections.

• The driver that forms the interface between the AirLink Raven XE and your

Windows operating system when using USB virtual Ethernet or USB virtual

serial.

• Firmware that is stored in non-volatile memory and includes ACEmanager.

The AirLink Raven XE has an embedded radio module made by Sierra

Wireless. There are two firmware programs on the device—one stored on the

controller board of the AirLink Raven XE and one on the radio module.

The firmware was loaded into the controller board and radio module when the

AirLink Raven XE was assembled. As new versions of the software and firm-

ware are released, they are posted at www.sierrawireless.com.

Note: The radio module firmware is not updatable; only ALEOS-level firmware can be

updated.
