How to Access Raven XT Using TCP
The Raven XT is a cellular wireless modem that's designed to seamlessly provide Internet access through a wireless single without the hassle of connecting a wireless router. To connect to the modem using transmission control protocol (TCP), you need to configure the device using a free utility tool called ACEmanager. With ACEmanager, it's possible to adjust the connection settings on the fly and connect your computer to the modem through TCP. Using the utility is straightforward as long as you have the right instructions.
