The Modem Status field indicates one of two states:
•

When using Microsoft Windows, once Microsoft dial-up networking has established a connection, a
network is constructed with the parameters specified in the Modem Settings area of the Network
configuration window. The client computer now can be connected to two separate networks. These
networks must have distinct IP addresses if modem access is to function properly. The second network
established by the PPP connection has only two devices, the Dominion SX unit with IP address PPP Server
IP and the client computer with IP address PPP Client IP.

up networking on Windows 2000, Windows 98, and Windows NT.
