Chapter 3 Configuring NetPassage 15B

3.7.1Implementing Parallel Broadband

To implement Parallel Broadband, you need to install two or more units of NetPassage 15B in the network, each connected to its broadband Internet service account. There is no restriction on the type of broadband Internet accounts that they are connected to. For example, if you have two NetPassage 15Bs in the network, you may have one connected to Cable Internet whereas the other connected to ADSL line. Once the Parallel Broadband is implemented, these two NetPassage 15Bs will balance the Internet traffic among them while functioning as Fail-Over Redundancy to each other.

To activate Parallel Broadband:

1.Click on the Parallel Broadband URL from the Command Menu and the Parallel Broadband activation page will be displayed, as shown in Figure 3.7.1-1.
