Using Scheduled Connections with Backup

The backup link is a PPP dial-up connection and only connects to the Internet service provider when traffic is initiated from the LAN. If you want to use the backup link to provide redundancy for services, such as a Web service that you provide to the outside world, you must force the connection to stay up. You do this by creating a scheduled connection entry that will be a permanent “forced up” connection for the backup modem. The backup modem will be activated upon primary WAN link failure and remain active until primary WAN link recovery.

To configure a Scheduled Connection, from the Main Menu select WAN Configuration and then Scheduled Connections.
