At this point, the router will ask if you wish to test the Internet
connection. If you select Yes, the router will call the ISP to test
the Internet connection. If the test fails, note the error message
that you receive and take the appropriate troubleshooting steps.
Configuring Backup ISP Accounts
Sometimes it may be desirable to configure more than one ISP
account for backup purposes. The Single User Account feature can
be enabled for all of these accounts, making it convenient to switch
Internet Service Providers in the event of a failure.
To configure a backup ISP,
1.
Configure your primary ISP using menu 4, as described earlier in
this chapter.
2.
Enter menu 11, then select the number of an unused remote
node.
3.
In menu 11.1, choose a name for your backup ISP account, 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.
