Eicon Networks 1551 - Manual (Page 7)

Any profile can act as a backup connection in case a pri-
mary connection fails. The following example demonstrates
a simple scenario on the Eicon 1551.
Two profiles have been created: VHSI-main and ISDN-
backup.
As shown below, on the profile page for ‘VHSI-main’, the
profile ‘ISDN-backup’ has been defined as the backup pro-
file for ‘VHSI-main’.
Additionally, you could assign a backup profile to ‘ISDN-
backup’ in case that connection is unavailable. It could be
another ISDN profile or a VHSI profile.
The Eicon 1550 does not have an ISDN port. However, if
you are using X.25, a second VHSI profile can be created
and used as a backup in case the primary connection fails.
