3.6 Configuring Backup ISP Accounts

If you have more than one ISP account, you can configure the secondary ISP as a backup. You
can switch to the backup ISP in the event that the primary ISP is out of service. The SUA feature
can be enabled for all these accounts.

3.6.1 Configure a Backup ISP

To configure a backup ISP Account, follow these steps:

Step 1.

Configure your primary ISP using Menu 4, as described earlier in this chapter.

Step 2.

Enter Menu 11, then select an unused remote node.

Step 3.

In Menu 11.1, choose a name for your backup ISP account, then set the Active field to
[No], and enter your outgoing login name, password, and phone number(s). The
Remote IP Address field should be set to [1.1.1.1].
