What if I have an internal modem in the computer attached to the station? |

Many AirWatch Systems come with an external modem to be used exclusively for sending and receiving weather data. If the computer connected to your AirWatch System already has an internal modem used regularly (e.g. for dialing into an ISP), this second modem needs to be running on a separate COM port. It is also highly recommended that the internal modem have its own phone line. Otherwise, incoming calls to your weather station would be blocked while the internal modem is being used. If the internal modem is not used on a regular basis, you can avoid many hardware configuration headaches by removing it from the computer.
