When no higher
priority connection
is available
Select this option to specify that the dialup modem should only dial a
connection if no other connection exists, and the Safe@Office appliance
is not acting as a Backup appliance.
If another connection opens, the dialup modem will disconnect.
For information on configuring the appliance as a Backup or Master, see
Configuring High Availability on page 121.

activity
Select this option to specify that the dialup modem should only dial a
connection if no other connection exists, and there is outgoing activity
(that is, packets need to be transmitted to the Internet).
If another connection opens, or if the connection times out, the dialup
modem will disconnect.
