The AUX/CON port can be used in reserve, as a traditional dial-up connection should the broadband 
connection from the WAN port fail. To set up the auxiliary port (Dial Backup) for use in the event that the 
regular WAN connection is dropped, first make sure you have set up the CON/AUX switch and port 
connection (see the Hardware Installation chapter), then configure: 

Menu 2 - WAN Setup, 
Menu 2.1 - Advanced WAN Setup and  
Menu 11.1 - Remote Node Profile (Backup ISP) as shown next.  

Refer also to the traffic redirect section in this User’s Guide for information on an alternate backup WAN 
connection.
