Connection Profiles
The dial backup feature allows you to configure a complete Connection Profile for the modem backup, just as
you do for your primar y WAN connection. In this way profiles are associated with a par ticular inter face. It should
have switched characteristics for modem backup.
Navigate to the
Add Connection Profile

If you used Easy Setup to configure your DSL connection, you have already created one Connection Profile. For
the backup modem, you create a second Connection Profile, and associate it with the backup modem inter face.
