5.2 Failover

The CBA750 can establish an uplink via any modems plugged into the USB or ExpressCard ports. Although all of these devices may be plugged in, only one of them may establish a link at a time. If the WAN connection fails the router will automatically attempt to bring up a new link on another device. This feature is called failover. You can also manually disconnect and re-connect specific ports using icons in the Control column. The priority table can be saved permanently via the Save button. Priority changes take effect immediately even if they are not saved.
