Using Quick Internet
Connection/Disconnection
By clicking the Connect or Disconnect button (depending on the connection
status) on the Internet page, you can establish a quick Internet connection
using the currently-selected connection type. In the same manner, you can
terminate the active connection.
The Internet connection retains its Connected/Not Connected status until the
Safe@Office appliance is rebooted. The Safe@Office appliance then
connects to the Internet if the connection is enabled. For information on
enabling an Internet connection, see Enabling/Disabling the Internet
Connection on page 75.
Configuring a Backup Internet
Connection
You can configure both a primary and a secondary Internet connection. The
secondary connection acts as a backup, so that if the primary connection fails,
the Safe@Office appliance remains connected to the Internet.
To set up a backup Internet connection
1. Connect a hub or switch to the WAN port on your appliance's rear panel.
Note: Do not connect to the DMZ port.
2. Connect your two modems or routers to the hub/switch.
3. Configure two Internet connections.
