Using a fallback
Let’s as su me you have an ISDN con nec ti on with T-Com and have se lec ted T-On li ne as your ISP.
You have con fi gu red two ISPs:
· 1. In ter net ac cess over ISDN. The PABX sys tem will use an ISDN dial-up con nec ti on and the PPP
pro to col. En ter your ac cess data (mark the ISP in the list, field »Edit«, field »Ac cess data for T-On -
li ne«).
· 2. In ter net ac cess using an In ter net-by-call pro vi der. The PABX sys tem will use an ISDN dial-up
con nec ti on and the PPP pro to col. En ter any ot her re qui red data.
When the con fi gu red time pe ri od (in ter val) ex pi res the PABX sys tem at tempts to set up an In ter net con nec ti on as of -
ten as con fi gu red in the field »Con nec ti on at tempts«. You can de fi ne the time bet ween at tempts un der »Con nec ti on
at tempts« »In ter val« un der the con fi gu ra ti on item »Net work« »In ter net«, »In ter net ac cess«. You can set the »Num -
ber« for each ISP that has been con fig ured.
Af ter that, the PABX sys tem will use the next ISP con fi gu red in the list for at temp ting to set up a con nec ti on.
