3. Enter the AIM password. The default is isp.
4. Click on the Next>> button at the bottom of the window. The AIM will begin commu-
nications with the PacketWave 200.
NOTE: You will get an error message if the AIM cannot establish a connection
to the PacketWave 200. Verify that you are using a crossover cable, that the
PacketWave 200 is receiving power, that the computer has just one Ethernet
interface enabled, and that it is properly configured with a fixed IP address. As
with most windows applications, double-double clicking on buttons which are
single action, will cause two occurences of the same request. This is true of the
next buttin in AIM. When the next buttin is double-clicked on the screen request-
ing the password, two tasks do the password checking. In completing with one
another, the process does not complete successfully and the error, “too many
errors” is displayed. Be Patient and single click on the next button. It will take a
few seconds to retrieve teh password from the Subscriber init and verify it.
