When AceView first opens, it will try to establish a connection 
with your modem using the last connection settings used.  If 
this is the first time you use AceView, it will be looking for 
your modem using the default local IP address address.

Caution: It is possible to connect to an AirLink modem remotely with
AceView; however since AceView updates frequently, connecting to a
remote modem could result in a high usage charges.

If you are not using the default IP address or if you need to 
connect to the modem using DUN, right‐click on the AceView 
window to open the menu.
