How to configure your Internet connection
After you have configured the modem connection(s) of your AIR-104/204 , the last step 
required for Internet access is configure your Internet connection.
Unlike more complicated routers, the AIR-104/204  is specifically optimized for user-
friendly Internet access.  You may safely ignore the whole system of applying for and 
assigning IP addresses - the AIR-104/204 handles  all these processes for you 
automatically.
To allow the AIR-104/204 to communicate with your Internet Service Provider (ISP) for 
Internet access, you just need to input your ISP’s contact telephone number, your ISP 
account name, and your ISP account password.  The AIR-104/204  will take care of 
everything else, and you can begin accessing the Internet right away.
The simplest procedure for configuring the AIR-104/204 utilizes the Internet 
Configuration Console (ICC), which is fully described above in the section entitled How do 
I log onto the AIR-104/204?
  System requirements for this procedure are detailed at the 
beginning of this chapter, in the section entitled What do I need to configure the AIR-104/
204?
Alternatively, you may configure the AIR-104/204 by using the Command Line Interface 
(CLI).  The CLI can be accessed remotely, via Telnet, or directly, via a console attached to 
the AIR-104/204.  See Chapter 7 for full details about the Command Line Interface.
 Using the ICC to configure the Internet connection
Step 1 
From a properly-configured and connected network PC, use your Web 
browser to log on to the ICC (see How do I log onto the AIR-104/204?)
Step 2 
On the ICC Menu, locate the Configuration heading, and click on Internet 
Connection Setup.  The Configure Internet Access screen will appear in the 
Configuration Window of the ICC browser screen.  
If the AIR-104/204 is connected only to a single modem, or if dual modems are 
connected but you only wish to use one of them, then select “I use one modem to 
access the Internet”.  If the AIR-104/204 is connected to two modems and you wish to 
be able to use both of them, then select “I want to use two modems for increased speed 
to and from the Internet”.
