Dial Backup
On the navigation tree, click Control Panel > Dial Backup. The Dial Backup Functions screen
appears:
Dial backup operation is automatic when the IN-tact 1101 detects that transactions cannot be
routed via the Ethernet port. However, you can also manually control dial backup operation using
this screen. This can be useful for testing purposes, during planned outages for maintenance, or
any other time you need to immediately control whether transactions are routed via IP or the
modem. If you opt to manually begin dial operations, all of the timeout and trigger settings, such
as the Inactivity Disconnect Timer (set on the Advanced Dial Backup Settings screen) are still in
effect and will apply to dial operations.
Field/Button Description
Primary This is the dial string to reach the primary host processor. The dial
string is set on the Dial Backup Settings screen.
Dial and Route Transactions
over Dial Link
Click Dial to immediately dial the primary processor, establish
connection, and begin routing transactions via the modem.
Note: Invoking this causes web and SNMP traffic to use the modem.
Dial and Continue Routing
Transactions over Ethernet Link
Click Dial to immediately dial the primary/alternate host processor,
but do not switch transaction routing from IP to modem. This is useful
for testing purposes to make certain that the modem is working
properly and connecting with the host processor specified in the
primary/alternate dial string. If the Ethernet connection is lost while
connected, transactions are automatically routed using the modem.
Alternate This is the dial string to reach the alternate host processor. The dial
string is set on the Dial Backup Settings screen.
