3.

Use the arrow keys to highlight the SAVE command. Press ENTER. 
The message “Save Done!” displays and Local Management saves the 
changes to memory. Upon saving this screen, the interface just 
configured is assigned to an application port (CKT#) in the table once 
the device starts communicating with the service provider’s switch.

3.2.3

Configure Backup 

Use the following Network Tools command to configure backup:

setbackup [PRIMARYIFACENUM] [BACKUPIFACENUM] 
[TIMETOCONNECT] [TIMETODISCONNECT] 
[CONNECTRETRIESNUM] 
[TIMEBETWEENCONNETRETRIES][BACKUPOVERRIDE] 

PRIMARYIFACENUM

The number of the primary interface that is going to be backed up.

BACKUPIFACENUM

The number of the interface assigned as the backup interface to the 
primary interface.

TIMETOCONNECT

How long the system will wait (in seconds) before attempting to switch 
over to the backup interface. Default is zero. Allowed values are in 
increments of five seconds.

TIMETODISCONNECT

How long the system will wait (in seconds) before attempting to switch 
over to the primary interface once the primary interface has been restored. 
Default is 90 seconds. Allowed values are in increments of five seconds. 

CONNECTRETRIESNUM

Specifies the number of tries to bring up the backup interface before 
giving up. The default is three. Allowed values are in increments of one.

TIMEBETWEENCONNETRETRIES 

Specifies the time interval between tries to bring up the backup interface. 
The default is 30 seconds. Allowed values are in increments of five 
seconds. Zero is allowed but not advisable.

NOTE

The commands in the rest of the procedure are Network Tools 
commands. Refer to the host platform manual for detailed 
information on accessing Network Tools.
