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.
The Scheduled Connections screen appears.
• Select Add Scheduled Connection and press Return. The Add Scheduled Connection screen appears.
