At this point, the Prestige will ask if you wish to test the Internet connection. If you select Yes, the Prestige will call the ISP to test the Internet connection. If the test fails, note the error message that you receive and take the appropriate troubleshooting steps.
Configuring Backup ISP Accounts
Sometimes it may be desirable to configure more than one ISP account for backup purposes. The Single User Account 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,
1.Configure your primary ISP using Menu 4, as described earlier in this chapter.
2.Enter Menu 11, then select the number of an unused remote node.
3.In Menu 11.1, choose a name for your backup ISP account, set the Active field to No, and enter your outgoing login name, password, and phone number(s). The Remote IP Address field should be set to 1.1.1.1.
4.In Menu 11.3, set the remote node’s subnet mask to 0.0.0.0, and set RIP to None.
5.Save the new configuration.
Once you have done this, if you need to change from your primary ISP to a backup ISP follow the steps below:
1.Enter Menu 11 and select your Primary ISP.
2.In Menu 11.1, set the Active field to No.
3.Enter Menu 11 again and select your backup ISP.
4.In Menu 11.1, set the Active field to Yes.
