4.8 Fallback IP
Fallback IP is the IP address of the machine the unit connects to if the Remote IP address
(primary) is not responding, not accepting connections, or not sending data. The unit
makes one attempt to connect to the Remote IP. If that attempt fails, it attempts to
connect to the Fallback IP, alternating until a connection is made. After connecting to the
Fallback IP address, the unit tries the Remote IP on the next attempt. If data is received
from either host, the next connection attempt is to the Remote IP address.
Fallback can also be disabled, or enabled to accept incoming connections from any host.
Table 4.5 describes Fallback IP settings.
