Integrated CommBox Modem (ICM)
The ICM is the transceiver and "brain" of the system. Its built-in
modem processes all incoming and outgoing data traffic. Its built-in
router and wireless access point (WAP) provide the connection to your
onboard local area network (LAN). And its easy-to-use web interface
and front panel LCD allow you to operate and configure all aspects of
the system.
