Network Priorities
If your system is configured to connect to more than one network at a time, it can use any of the available networks
for outgoing connections such as connecting to a proxy server or sending an e-mail notification. In this case, you
should rank the available networks to indicate which one you would prefer the system to use for outgoing
communications. For example, if the unit can connect to both a WiFi network and a cellular network, you would
probably want to give the WiFi network priority over the cellular network, because it is faster and cheaper to use. In
this case, the system would use the WiFi network whenever it was available; if it was not available, the system
would use the cellular network instead.
The unit does not have to be restarted before changes to the network priorities settings are implemented.
Nevertheless, it is important to save the settings once they are correctly configured. Otherwise, the settings will be
erased when the unit is next restarted.
NOTE:
You can manually override the selected network priorities for specific types of outgoing
communications. When this is possible, the
Use
field appears in the relevant configuration screen. This
field allows you to select a specific network to use for proxy connections, DDNS connections, sending
e-mail notifications, and sending SMS notifications. For additional information, please refer to the
relevant section of this guide.
NOTE:
Unless you have made other changes to the configuration that require a system restart, it is not
necessary to restart the system after the network priorities settings are saved.
