Configuring the Cisco uBR900 Series Cable Access Routers 15
Backup POTS Connection

The Cisco uBR924 cable access router provides an RJ-11 port (Line) that connects to a standard

analog telephone wall jack. In the event of a building power failure or a Cisco uBR924 power

problem, the cutover port lets you dial out using the backup PSTN line. If the Cisco uBR924 loses

power while VoIP calls are in progress, you can reestablish one of the two connections—dialing out

over the PSTN.
