Failover
This connection can serve as a backup for your default connection.
The Failover type can be set to either Disable, Load Sharing or Failover. With
Load Sharing, the data usage is distributed evenly over the two dierent Internet
connections. With Failover, the secondary Internet connection will be in standby
mode, until the primary Internet connection fails.
If you selected Load Sharing or Failover, the Remote Host for Keep Alive box
will appear, and should be set to an external IP address that can be used to ensure
that the 3G/4G LTE connection will be kept from going oine due to inactivity. An
example would be Google’s public DNS servers (8.8.8.8 or 8.8.4.4) or your ISP’s
DNS servers.
The Primary WAN will display your current Internet conguration type.
The Secondary WAN can be set by clicking Add, and the available options will be
shown in the drop down box that appears. Select 4G LTE/3G to use your mobile
connection as a backup.
When you have nished conguring your failover settings, click Apply to save
your changes. To restore your settings to the most recent save, click Reset.
