Select Use Connection Profile, and press Return. A screen displays all of your Connection Profiles. Select 
the one you want to apply this scheduled connection to and press Return. Your selection becomes 
effective.

Now, if your primar y WAN link fails, the backup link will become active and remain active until the primar y link 
recovers.

If your Netopia equipment does not have an internal modem, or if you do not want to use the internal modem for 
backup, the Netopia Firmware Version 8.4 offers backup functionality to an alternate gateway typically 
connected to a LAN por t.

A typical application would be to have a LAN connection from your 3300-Series gateway to another gateway that 
has, for example, an ISDN or analog modem connection to the Internet, and designating the second gateway as 
the backup gateway. Should the primar y WAN connection fail, traffic would be automatically redirected through 
your alternate gateway device to maintain Internet connectivity.

Two menus control the backup gateway feature:

the Backup Configuration screen in the WAN Configuration menu

Here, you enable the backup feature and set some parameters.

the IP Setup screen in the System Configuration menu

Here, you set the IP address of the alternate gateway device.

To enable the backup feature, from the Main Menu select WAN Configuration, Advanced Connection Options, 
and then Backup Configuration.
