5.7.2 Fail-Over Redundancy
In case one of your broadband connections should fail, the affected Compex
WPE54AG will automatically switch over to other operational broadband
channels so that your network is not disrupted. For instance, when the WAN
connection to Z is down, Z will redirect its traffic to Y, and hence providing
Fail-Over Redundancy of Internet access to wireless clients of Z.

5.7.3 To enable Parallel Broadband
Before enabling the Parallel Broadband feature, verify whether:
• Each Compex WPE54AG is correctly configured to connect to its
specific broadband Internet account.
• You need to enable DHCP on all Compex WPE54AGs in Parallel
broadband. It is recommended that each WPE54AG leases IP in a non-
overlapping IP address pool.
• All Compex WPE54AG are interconnected in a chain manner using
WDS as illustrated in the section on WLAN Basic Setup.
• Each Compex WPE54AG is running in Gateway mode with the Parallel
Broadband option enabled.
