Ripwave Modem User Guide Navini Networks, Inc. 4 Part #40-00097-00 Rev D v1.0 February 14, 2003 Safety When using Navini Ripwave electronic equipment, always follow basic safety precautions to reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire, and injury to people and/or property. Follow all warnings and instructions that come with the equipment. 1. Do not use the equipment while you are in a bathtub, shower, pool, or spa. Exposure of the equipment to water could cause severe electrical shock or serious damage to the equipment. 2. Do not immerse the equipment in any type of liquid. Use a damp cloth and if needed, water and a mild detergent to clean the plastic shell. Unplug the equipment from the power source before cleaning. 3. Follow all airport and FAA regulations when using the equipment on or near aircraft. 4. Only operate the equipment from the type of power source(s) indicated in this manual (110 VAC adapter or Navini supplied battery). Any other type of input power source may cause damage to the equipment. 5. Power the equipment using only the battery or the AC adapter cable provided, and in accordance with the instructions specified in the user manual. 6. Do not use a frayed or damaged power cord. Do not place the power cord where it can be stepped on or tripped over. 7.

Ripwave Modem User Guide Navini Networks, Inc. 26 Part #40-00097-00 Rev D v1.0 February 14, 2003 Using Navini Monitor, continued The Signal Strength and Signal Quality are dynamic bar graphs that indicate how well your Modem is receiving signals from the Base Station. To increase the strength and quality of the signal, change the location of the Ripwave Modem. Try moving it closer to a window, to a higher location, away from other wireless devices (microwave ovens, cordless phones), and away from metal objects (shelves, file cabinets). As the Ripwave Modem is repositioned, observe the Signal Strength and Signal Quality bar graphs. Position the Modem for maximum signal strength and quality. If you make a service call to your Service Provider, the Technician may ask you to read the numbers to the right of the signal bar graphs. These will help the Technician to evaluate the best position for your Ripwave Modem. The Battery Strength bar graph and the number to the right of it indicate how much charge is left in the battery (batteries are optional). Without a battery in the Modem, the Battery Strength bar graph and number will be disabled (grayed out). If a problem is detected with one of the components, or if a connection goes down, a red circle with a slash will be positioned over the icon. In this example, the cable connecting the computer and Modem is not operational; the wireless signal between Modem and Base Station is down; and there is no battery being used.
Navini Networks, Inc. Ripwave Modem User Guide Part #40-00097-00 Rev D v1.0 27 February 14, 2003 Using Navini Monitor, continued To check connectivity to the Service Provider’s network, you will click the Advanced button on the Navini Monitor. The Advanced section of the window appears and displays all of the connections throughout the network. The names of the network component will vary with each Operator’s network. Note that if the connection between the Ripwave Modem and the Base Station is down, the Advanced button will be disabled (grayed out). The blue question marks on the right side of the Advanced section indicate that all connections are untested. Now click on the Run Tests button at the bottom of the window. The blue question marks will change to either a blue checkmark or a red slash mark. A blue checkmark indicates that the connection is valid. A red slash mark indicates there is a problem with that connection. The features of the Advanced and Run Tests buttons are to be used in conjunction with your Service Provider Technician to resolve problems. There is no need to use these features unless you are experiencing problems with the Modem.
