6.3.2 FAILOVER DIAL-OUT
The LES1600, LES1516A, LES1532A, LES1548A, and LES1700 series of advanced console servers can be configured so a dial-out
PPP connection is automatically set up in the event of a disruption in the principal management network.
FIGURE 6-3.SET UP DIAL-OUT PPP CONNECTION SCREEN
NOTE: With firmware v3.0.1 and earlier, only SSH access is enabled on the failover connection. In firmware versions 3.0.2 and
later, HTTPS access is also enabled. Once the dial-out PPP connection is established the administrator can connect to the
console server via SSH (or HTTPS on console servers running firmware 3.0.2 or later) and fix the problem.
When configuring the principal network connection in System > IP, specify the Failover Interface to be used when a fault has been
detected with Network or Network1 (that is, eth0). This can be either the Internal Modem, Dial Serial DB9 (if you are using an
external modem on the console port), or USB Modem (if you are using a plug-on USB modem on an LES1600).
Set the Probe Addresses of two sites (the Primary and Secondary) that the IM console server is to ping to determine if Network or
Network1 is still operational.
Navigate to System > Dial.
Select the port to be configured: Serial DB9 Port, PC Card, or Internal Modem Port.
