Dual-modem configuration allows you to take advantage of the “Bandwidth on Demand” 
feature of the  AIR-104/204.  For more information about this feature, consult the section 
entitled Advanced System Configuration in Chapter 5.  

From the Configuration heading on the ICC Menu, you should have clicked Internet

the port number (COM1 or COM2) of the modem to which you intend to test 
this ISP account.

When you click APPLY and TEST, the AIR-104/204 will immediately 

attempt to place a call to your Internet Service Provider, using the modem you have 
just identified.  Watch the Message Window on the ICC browser screen for any 
messages. If the connection is opened successfully, your LAN users should re-boot 
their PCs, after which they may begin to access the Internet.  If the connection is not 
successful, the Message Window will provide you with information about the nature 
of the problem.
