Using Quick Internet Connection/Disconnection
By clicking the Connect or Disconnect button (depending on the connection status)
on the Internet page, you can establish a quick Internet connection using the
currently-selected connection type. In the same manner, you can terminate the
active connection.
The Internet connection retains its Connected/Not Connected status until the
Safe@Office appliance is rebooted. The Safe@Office appliance then connects to
the Internet if the connection is enabled. For information on enabling an Internet
connection, see Enabling/Disabling the Internet Connection on page 90.
Configuring a Backup Internet Connection
You can configure both a primary and a secondary Internet connection. The
secondary connection acts as a backup, so that if the primary connection fails, the
Safe@Office appliance remains connected to the Internet.
Note: You can configure different DNS servers for the primary and secondary
connections. The Safe@Office appliance acts as a DNS relay and routes requests
from computers within the network to the appropriate DNS server for the active
Internet connection.
