User Manual 3646.3836.02 ─ 01

If you have defined a backup Internet connection on the "Failover" tab and the auto-
matic heartbeat test defines the state of the connection as 

disconnected

, the gate-

protect Firewall automatically switches to the backup connection with the highest prior-
ity available.

The buttons at the bottom of the "Heartbeat" editor panel allow you to discard your
changes to the heartbeat test ("Reset") and to run the connection test manually
("Test"). Furthermore, you can reject ("Cancel") or confirm your changes ("OK") to the
test, close the editor panel and return to the "Network Connection" editor panel. The
specified test is displayed as an entry in the list under "Heartbeats" on the "Failover"
tab.

PPP Connections

Use the "PPP Connections" settings to configure existing PPP connections and to add
new ones.

For more detailed information on PPP connections, see the following sections.

PPP Connections Overview

Navigate to "Network > Connections > PPP Connections" to display the list of connec-
tions using the Point-to-Point Protocol that are currently defined on the system in the
item list bar.

In the expanded view, the columns of the table display the "Name" of the connection,
whether it is "Active" or not, its "Interface", and the "Type" of the connection. The but-
tons in the last column allow you to view and adjust the settings for an existing PPP
connection, create a new connection based on a copy of an existing connection or
delete a PPP connection from the system.

For further information, see 

Chapter 3.2, "Icons and Buttons"

, 

on page 17.

PPP Connections Settings

Under "Network > Connections > PPP Connections", you can add a new or edit an
existing network connection.

The "PPP Connections" settings contain the following elements:

Field

Description

"ON"/"OFF"

A slider switch indicates whether the PPP connection is active ("ON") or inac-
tive ("OFF"). By clicking the slider switch, you can toggle the state of the con-
nection. A new PPP connection is enabled by default.

"Name"

Specify the name of the network connection.

If you leave this field empty, a name containing the selected interface and con-
nection type is automatically generated.

"Interface"

Assign an interface to the connection. You may only select a PPP interface that
has not yet been used in another connection.
