3.6Configuring Backup ISP Accounts

Sometimes it may be desirable to configure more than one ISP account for backup purposes. The SUA feature can be enabled for all of these accounts, making it convenient to switch Internet Service Providers in the event of a failure.

To configure a backup ISP Account, follow these steps:

Step 1. Configure your primary ISP using Menu 4, as described earlier in this chapter.

Step 2. Enter Menu 11, then select the number of an unused remote node.
