The purpose of line backup is to provide a recover y mechanism in the event that the primar y connection fails. A
failure can be either line loss, for example by central site switch failure or physical cable breakage, or loss of
end-to-end connectivity. Detection of one of these failures causes the router to switch from using the primar y
DSL WAN connection to using a built-in V.92 modem. Alternatively, you can choose backup to an alternate
gateway on the Ethernet LAN. In the event of a loss of primar y connectivity you have the option of switching
back to the primar y por t automatically once it has recovered its connection.
