ACCESS Product Manual
59
ACCESS features an ability to have an automatic backup to IP remote con-
nections. The backup may be either another IP connection, or a POTS
phone number. Automatic backup works as follows:
If an IP connection fails, ACCESS will sense this and wait the amount of
time designated in the
Local Timeout
parameter in the profile assigned
to the primary connection. If the connection is restored in that amount of
time, no backup will occur.
If the timeout period passes without restoration of the primary connec-
tion, ACCESS will automatically establish a connection (POTS or IP) to
the designated backup connection. It will maintain that connection until
manually disconnected.
Backup connections are enabled and selected on the
Change Remote Set-
tings
option on the
Connection Tab
(shown as #1 Figure 31).
