Configuring a Backup Internet Connection

You can configure both a primary and a secondary Internet connection for Nokia IP40 security
platform. The secondary connection acts as a backup, so that even if the primary connection
fails, the IP40 remains connected to the Internet.
You can configure different DNS servers for the two connections. The IP40 device acts as a DNS
relay and routes requests from computers within the network to the appropriate DNS server for
the active Internet connection.
The two connections can be of different types. But they both cannot be LAN, and DHCP
connections.
To set up backup Internet connection
1. Click Networks on the main menu, select Internet.
2. Click Edit next to Primary, and Secondary connection types to configure a backup Internet
connection.
