Installation
Power
The AIR-104/204 comes with an external power supply. Plug the round end of the power 
cable into the DC 12V socket on the AIR-104/204, and plug the body of the power 
supply into an electrical outlet.
Modem connections
The AIR-104/204 can access the Internet utilizing either one or two modem connections, 
depending on the user’s bandwidth requirements.
You will need at least one modem connection to access the Internet. The AIR-204 
supplies this connection with a buit-in 56K modem. The AIR-104 requires an external 
device, either a modem or an ISDN terminal adapter.
For both the AIR-104 and the AIR-204, a second modem connection may be made with 
an external device (either a modem or an ISDN terminal adapter).
First modem connection

Use one of the RJ-45 to DB-25 cables (supplied) to make the connection.

Additionally, you may connect either a telephone handset or a fax machine to the AIR-
204 via the PHONE jack. Use another RJ-11 to RJ-11 cable (not supplied) to make the
