Power On LAN ByPass, Power Off LAN ByPass

LAN Bypass feature removes a single point of failure so that essential business communication can continue while a network failure is diagnosed and resolved. In the event of a power, hardware or software failure, Hard- ware Bypass will automatically activate, allowing network traffic to continue. Traffic between the LAN and W AN is allowed without interruption.

Power on LAN Bypass selects the [LPC] or [GPIO] bypass mode for power on. Power off LAN Bypass selects the [LPC] bypass mode for power off.
