13.2.1.2 New! Backup Mode
Enable "Backup Mode" to automatically switch between Net1 and Net2.
Backup Mode allows the NetGuardian to automatically switch between Net1 and Net2 should LAN
connectivity fail. When used in Backup Mode, the NetGuardian has 2 network connections attached, but
uses only the primary LAN (Net1). When a LAN failure occurs, the unit makes the switch to the
secondary LAN connection (Net 2) to maintain visibility. With the "Autoswitch" feature enabled, the
NetGuardian will revert back to the primary LAN connection when the uplink is re-established.
1. Login to the TTY interface and go to C)onfig > E)dit.
2. Go to E)thernet > NET(2) to configure the Net 2 Interface.
3. Go to B)ackup Mode to enable/disable this mode, then A)utoswitch to use the automatic network
switching feature.

10/100/1000BaseT switch and Fiber interface.
