How AIRAVE works
AIRAVE™ is a femtocell, a personal base station with a radio unit that is similar to a cell tower radio. Femtocells use a low-power
antenna to transmit voice and data cellular signals in your home or small office.
Femtocells give you better cellular coverage, which means a stronger signal and improved voice quality. Also, data applications
on smartphones, such as mobile e-mail devices, work faster.
AIRAVE connects to your mobile operator’s network through your broadband internet connection. Outgoing calls go from
AIRAVE over a secure connection to your mobile operator; incoming calls reverse this route.
If you have subscribed to VoIP phone service, you can use the Analog Telephone Adaptor (ATA) component in AIRAVE. This
component converts a telephone message to a digital message and sends it over the Internet as Voice over IP (VoIP).

4Observe AIRAVE’s LEDs as it starts up:
•All indicators light up.
•Broadband, Mobile, and GPS blink and then turn solid green when the component
is ready.
•VoIP Phone only lights up if you have subscribed for phone service.
•Voicemail will light up later when a message is available.
5If the GPS LED does not light up after 30 minutes, use the external GPS antenna.
aConnect the external GPS antenna to AIRAVE.
bPlace the external GPS antenna horizontally on a flat surface as close to a window
as possible. The antenna works best in an open area where it can easily pick up
signals.
NOTE: Allow up to two hours for AIRAVE to be ready the first time you use it.
When Broadband, GPS, and Mobile are solid green, AIRAVE is ready for use.
6Optionally, connect a computer or a home router to the AIRAVE LAN ports.
NOTE: Always connect the home router to AIRAVE. Do not connect it to the broadband
modem/router.
7Optionally, connect your telephone to the AIRAVE phone port.
NOTE: It may take AIRAVE up to 30 minutes to pick up a GPS signal the first
time you power it on. Subsequent startups take 10 minutes or less.

Troubleshooting
If this LED... Displays… Take this action...
VoIP Pho ne Slow blink green If this persists, call Customer Support as described in “Need help?” on page 28.
Solid amber Plug the telephone line into a cordless phone and restart AIRAVE.
You must cancel your land line service to plug AIRAVE directly into a telephone wall
socket. If you have not canceled your land line service and you plug a telephone line
from AIRAVE directly into a phone socket in the wall, AIRAVE’s phone service will not
work.
Broadband Slow blink green Load a new web page on your PC to test for an active internet connection. If you
cannot load a new page:
• There might be a problem with your internet service or modem/router. Ensure that
DHCP is enabled on the broadband modem/router. If it is disabled, you must
enable DHCP as described in your modem/router documentation.
• You many need to add additional information as described in “Configuring the
AIRAVE router” on page 12.
Mobile Slow blink green Wait. AIRAVE is out of service temporarily due to a software update.
GPS Fast blink green Wait. AIRAVE is trying to acquire another timing source. The LED may alternate
between a slow and fast blink.
Slow blink green • If you have not already done so, connect the external GPS antenna to AIRAVE.
• If the external GPS antenna is already connected, move it to a different location,
as close to a window as possible.
