ZyXEL Communications PRESTIGE 128 - Manual (Page 60)

Configuring for Internet Access 47
At this point, the Prestige will ask if you wish to test the
Internet connection. If you select Yes, the Prestige will call the
ISP to test the Internet connection. If the test fails, note the
error message that you receive and take the appropriate
troubleshooting steps.
Configuring Backup ISP Accounts
Sometimes it may be desirable to configure more than one ISP
account for backup purposes. The Single User Account feature can
be enabled for all of these accounts, making it convenient to switch
Internet Service Providers in the event of a failure.
To configure a backup ISP,
1. Configure your primary ISP using Menu 4, as described earlier
in this chapter.
2. Enter Menu 11, then select the number of an unused remote
node.
3. In Menu 11.1, choose a name for your backup ISP account, set
the Active field to No, and enter your outgoing login name,
password, and phone number(s). The Remote IP Address field
should be set to 1.1.1.1.
4. In Menu 11.3, set the remote node’s subnet mask to 0.0.0.0,
and set RIP to None.
5. Save the new configuration.
Once you have done this, if you need to change from your primary
ISP to a backup ISP follow the steps below:
1. Enter Menu 11 and select your Primary ISP.
2. In Menu 11.1, set the Active field to No.
3. Enter Menu 11 again and select your backup ISP.
4. In Menu 11.1, set the Active field to Yes.
