Dial Backup
Dial Backup, when enabled, provides a backup connection to the Internet through an
external V.90 or ISDN modem. If your router is equipped with an internal modem and
the Feature Key is present, the backup connection uses the internal modem;
otherwise the backup connection uses an external modem connected to the console
port of the router. This backup connection can be activated in the event of a DSL
service interruption. During a DSL interruption, the router will use the dialup modem
connection while waiting for DSL service to be restored. Once the DSL link is active
again, Dial Backup will automatically switch back to the DSL service. For more
information, see “Dial Backup” on page 6-7.
