Using Scheduled Connections with Backup
The backup link is a PPP dial-up connection and only connects to the Internet ser vice provider when traffic is
initiated from the LAN. If you want to use the backup link to provide redundancy for ser vices, such as a Web
ser vice that you provide to the outside world, you must force the connection to stay up. You do this by creating
a scheduled connection entr y that will be a permanent “forced up” connection for the backup modem. The
backup modem will be activated upon primar y WAN link failure and remain active until primar y WAN link
recover y.
