Connecting to the Internet Using DUN
There are two methods you can use to connect with AirLink device to the Internet
using DUN, AceView and the Windows DUN connection directly.
ACEview
ACEview is a small utility which can maintain your DUN connection and monitor
the connection of your AirLink device to Provider. If you have not already installed
ACEview you can obtain the most recent version from the Sierra Wireless AirLink
website.

connection features of
ACEview are not available
