The IPnXGii is capable of having 2 WAN connections, one connected to the physical WAN port on the
modem and the Cellular WAN connection to the wireless carrier. The MultiWAN section allows a user to
define how traffic uses these WAN’s.
The main purpose of the MultiWan feature is to use one network for a primary connection, such as a local,
wired ISP for broadband access, and if that connection fails or is offline, the modem can automatically
switch to an alternate network connection such as the Cellular connection.
The Status menu gives an overview of both WAN connections and their configuration. WAN group 1 is the
wired WAN and WAN group 2 is the Cellular connection to a wireless carrier.
